That was awful. They were joking about him making out with a 14 year old Mila.  :cry: [/quote]

He was 19 to her 14. I am a little older than they are and can say that in my world (suburban NY) no one would have batted an eye toward a couple of those respective ages back then. Plenty of 14 yr old girls had french kissed. I briefly dated a 19 yr old as a 14/15 yr old, and in college dated a senior as a freshman. Even in hindsight with a 50 yr old’s perspective, I would never say I was taken advantage of.

My kids feel like you do - they are horrified if a senior in their HS dates a sophomore. That was probably the most common couple age gap in my HS. [/quote]

Bullshit. I'm a Gen X'er and this was creepy as all hell in the early 90s. 14 is an 8th or 9th grader, 19 could be a college sophomore. On what planet is a college sophomore trying to bone an 8th grader normal? It's predatory as hell. I think you must be some PR firm to post some crap like this.[/quote]

I posted it, and I was in 9th grade at 14 (until end of October) and a senior could have been 19. But let’s say 18, okay? It would not have been shocking for a senior to date a freshman (which is what I meant I was). [/quote]

Right, back in the 90s, a senior and a freshman probably raised some eyebrows but it wasn’t unheard of.

But that’s not what happened here. Ashton entered college in August 1996. That same month, Mila turned 13. A year later, on the 70s Show, you have a “never been kissed” 14 year old and a guy who had been to and subsequently dropped out of college. That’s gross. [/quote]

Eh, they were both actors…acting.

ICYMI: all kinds of weird stuff happens on set. The actors and their parents know this going into it.

Plus, I don’t buy the “never been kissed” innocent 14 year old thing. She seemed much more mature than he appeared.

Regardless, the two have been married for a long time now. This really isn’t the scandal some are suggesting it is. [/quote]

There could be an entire section of any major bookstore filled with autobiographies by child actors who were exploited, abused, groomed, assaulted, chewed up and spit out by the business. If you think on-set personnel wasn't looking the other way and the parents weren't looking the other way, you are wildly mistaken.[/quote]
