Do you really think that it is common to be an escort in the movie / music industry?

Yes. It’s similar to why so many willing go to the casting couch. Fame and fortune is all that matters, doesn’t matter what part of your body you offer up.


Any actual proof of this, or is this just more stating opinion as fact?


As someone who has worked in the industry for 20+ years - yes, this does in fact happen. Rarely with A list, but for those actresses/singers/musicians who don't really make it, how do you think they pay their bills? Maybe it's not "escort" in the traditional sense, but they hook up with rich/older men to support them.

Actually, when I really think about it, there are several A-list types who made it because of who they slept with. Do you think Mariah Carey just fell in love with Tommy Mottola? Google the photo of Renee Zellweger with her hand on Harvey Weinstein's leg during a movie premiere Q&A. You don't think she got all those juicy roles because she's a good actress and is attractive?

They are just a half-step above escorts.


So, different from being an escort. That's what I was asking, thanks.


The reality is if this stuff happened in an industry outside of Entertainment (ex, finance, technology, etc.) then it would be completely unacceptable.

Did you miss all the stories that came out during the Weinstein blow up?


No I didn't, but I'm asking about being escorts which, to me, is different from the casting couch/sleeping with someone for a role.

Her interview on Howard Stern was interesting. He straight up asked her if she "is a sex slave in Dubai" and it got super awkward really quickly.

She confirmed that she's licensing her name to these club and getting a cut of the profits.

She also admitted that she lives in an entire apartment building in Dubai by herself. She's being hosted there and someone else owns the building. It sounded incredibly sketchy.

I don't know why, but I just feel so badly for this girl that she has basically tanked her life and career to the point where she is THIS desperate. Like girl...whoever is advising you to do a show like this and filling your head with thoughts that THIS could be a way to revive your lost would-be showbiz career is steering you SO wrong. UGH!

I mourn for the talent she used to have...and long for what could have been.

She was PERFECTION in Mean Girls. And literally every other girl who starred alongside her in that movie has gone on to amazing things.

What do you think? Will she EVER come back???


I wouldn't say Lacey Chabert has gone on to "do amazing things" unless you mean Part of 5 when she was like 10. And Rachel McAdams was already the bomb before mean girls. And I haven't seen Janice Ian around either.


Hallmark Christmas movies give Lacey Chabert a good steady paycheck


Lacey is in a group of former child actors who grew up and decided to stay religious and don't want to be mainstream so they stick mostly to Lifetime and Hallmark movies. Candice Cameron Burre is the exception with Fuller House, but her, Lacey, Danica McKellar (Winnie on Wonder Years), Melissa Joan Hart, etc.

The actress who played Janice Ian looks amazing now. She was in masters of sex.


Lacey does voice work too for cartoons. I forget which ones but she’s still out there.

If you google Lindsey and Dubai Yacht girl, picture and other stories come up, including her own father confirming it. The entire situation is incredibly sad.

She had terrible stage parents.


And was unemployable once she decided she could just not show up as she pleased. Any industry would have given her the heave-ho; it wasn’t a Hollywood “thing.”

That’s what I was wondering...I know she did that for the Athens club but then had issues with her business partners. Her net worth is only 800k, doesn’t make sense that she could have mortgaged beach front property and pay all the start up costs for the club. Even with investors.
people actually believed she owned these properties? She’s licensing her name, which is pretty smart. I just hope she can withstand being in such unhealthy environments that promote the very addictions she’s trying to overcome.

I have a love/hate relationship with blinds. Sometimes they come out as true - like the open secret in old hollywood with all the affairs and secret babies that were acknowledged as fact decades later.

For the yacht girls thing, take it this way - these young B or C or D list actresses often come from nothing, have no connections, no funding, and are almost always single because they are a) looking for spouses as hot as they are or at least moderately wealthy and b) need to be available for promotions/night events/parties at the drop of a hat and having a relationship interferes with that.

Which means they're living alone in the most expensive city in the United States (equal to New York). They have to pay rent, utilities, food, transportation, gym memberships, hair salon appointments, nails, tanning, etc

That's hard enough when you don't live in L.A. but when you do...and your pay is very sporadic - a check for a walk-on gig on a tv show might be $850 and you're lucky if you can do that 3 times a year, a music video session could be another $3,000, and whatever 'normal' job you manage to get while waiting around for your next audition like working at a clothing store or as a waitress or a nightclub dancer.

If you skimp and work three jobs you can make it. OR you can go to Dubai for a 'season' - usually 2 to 6 weeks and collection $20,000 for sex work while flying back to the U.S. in time for audition season with no one the wiser.

If you are NOT a main or recurring character on a tv show and you weren't smart enough to bank your money while you were making it and move back to Wyoming, those are your options.

Lizzy Caplan was the lead (along with Michael Sheen) on Showtime's "Masters of Sex" for 4 seasons. I believe she was nominated for an Emmy for her role.
