- 80's sitcoms were a cheerful, frivolous way to spend an hour on a weeknight. Characters' problems were neatly solved, and traumatic events rarely transpired...at least onscreen. On the other side of the camera, 80's sitcom stars were often messy and troubled, especially as their fame faded and their money and job opportunities dried up. Drug abuse, sexual assault, robbery, suicide - the sad stories of former 1980's sitcom stars has all of this and more. Whether you remember these actors for these roles, or are catching up on these twisted tales for the first time, these are 80's sitcom stars accused of serious crimes.

He didnt want an autograph from Gary Coleman . She was antagonizing him and calling a failed child star . The autograph was an act of mockery . Gary gets a bad rap . Gary worked hard as a security guard and would make lighthearted humor of his situation . Gary didnt deserve the ridicule he often got. This needs to be said !
I didn't know about that part of the story. It's terrible the kind of ridicule he suffered. To me his is one very tragic story of children in Hollywood.
What- choo talkin' 'bout Wilson ?
Gary was born disadvantaged. I have heard he was ripped off by shanty parents.
Yeah , he did better then the other Two kids after that show. I’d be angry 😤 if my parents stole from me
And his so called wife pushed him he didn’t fall. He was sleeping with the devil
Rest in peace Gary Coleman and Dana Plato.
My wife and I met / ran across Gary Coleman at a motorcyce shop in Marietta, Ga. He had another fellow with him and was as nice as he could be. Sad ending imo.
That’s a nice story
Poor Dana Plato had a very hard life; being on a hit TV show couldn’t lessen her pain - may she Rest In Peace.
Her son Tyler killed himself in Kellyville ok...
Druggie !
fucc her because she never got the time she rightfully deserved, her privilege killed her
@@quantumleaper8396 😮😮😥 Wow ... Didn't know that!
A friend of mine I was in art school with lived around the corner from the house her camper was parked in front of.
As always, the kind of justice you get depends upon how much money you have
Then explain George Floyd, he was flat broke, and his somewhat wealthy murderer received a pretty big prison sentence.
Race plays a big part in justice, too.
I don't know aboit that. Some of these celebrities were broke when they got into trouble. I think a lot of it had to do with getting in troubl in California; we don't keep anyone in prison.
Plenty of celebrities have been incarcerated.
Scott Baoi getting off for beingApeed because he wasnt caught a couple of years earlier while bill cosby gets prison time for sexually assaulting grown women 30+ 40+ earlier 😩 white people cant get any kind of justice
Dave Chappelle said the industry is a monster. These Different Strokes kids should have been set for life...its just sad.
Bad parenting.
@Let Your LIGHT Forever Shine= Mindless Idiot.
Gary Coleman had to sue his parents for his own money. He was the star of Diff'rent Strokes, yet, was screwed by his parents and the industry.
There's always the possibility that when Mackenzie Phillips dad paid for the abortion of his child in her, it messed her up a bit.
Her father messed her up bad. 🙁
Omg!
😢
How did he avoid prison
@@James-mw7zv He convinced her that it was normal, and he was her dealer so nothing was mentioned at the time. I thought I had it bad. My dad told bad dad jokes.
I don't know if I'd blame McKenzie Phillips' heroin addiction on her TV career.....I would think her sexual relationship with her father might've just had a little something to with it! 🙄
For sure. Her life was hell. Molested and given drugs. She had barely a chance and it’s a small miracle she turned her life around twice.
Right? Smh
So weird they didn’t bring that up.
Mckenzie is the S#$T! I love her for it!
@Jools 4Liberty is she proud that she slept with her father? I don't believe anything she says. Her former stepmother, Michelle Phillips says she's a big liar.
Huge difference in punishment for those with money vs those without.
Sad.but true.
Yep. Was thinking the same thing.
You are so right it's sickening !!!!
Not always. Plenty of celebrities have been incarcerated.
It’s remarkable isn’t it?? Fair my big fat a$$!
Gary Coleman gave the fan his autograph. He doesn't owe her a message as well. The fan overstepped the line.
Right? Like what the heck is he supposed to write to a complete stranger?
...and hence was punched rightfully? I agree, but also we don't know what actually happened.
@@fatdad64able ,
Don't forget Gary was suffering from serious health problems. He also had his money stolen by his family. He was justifiably ANGRY all the time. That doesn't make punching the fan right, but you can at least understand the situation and empathize with him.
@@fatdad64able True. And he also doesn't owe the fan an autograph. But I agree with you because if I don't, you might put that air thing against my head and kill me.
@@photonboy999 This is a case where the punishment fit not only the crime itself but the circumstances. He was right to be angry, but not right to display the anger the way he did so a relatively small fine, probation, and anger management classes was appropriate.
We need to change the “statute of limitations laws” for incest charges and any other violent crimes against people. Stop helping the perpetrators
💩
Yes totally agree!!! Murder, incest, rape should be able to be charged at anytime. Also double jeopardy-I think if you are not found guilty and years later evidence is found that you are, you should be arrested again!!
@@ms.krueger2660 There has never been a statute of limitations for Murder
Any physical crime,should have no limitation,on prosecution.
@@ms.krueger2660 Double jeopardy is there to ensure prosecutors won't maliciously pursue a suspect based on superficial evidence. It's the State's burden to build a credible case before prosecuting it. Otherwise you have the situation of some prosecutor wielding the power to harass someone they have a personal vendetta against in perpetuity.
Dana worked at an Al Phillips dry cleaner's in Vegas('87ish). It had drive up service and large plate glass windows. My friends and I would stop sometimes and watch her from the curb of flamingo rd on our way home from school. One day she caught us gawking at her and waved at us smiling! We all jumped up and down screaming, waving back enthusiastically. It crushed me when and how she died. 💔
There has never been enough done,to help child actors,transition from early fame,to virtual oblivion,when their shows are cancelled.
@@eh-i1841 thats their fault though 🤷🏾♂️
Statutes of limitations only protect the abusers, not the victims...
It also protects you, People believe their own lies thru the decades, You see what happened to Johnny Depp, What if that woman waited 20 years instead.
@@yorboyroyboy9829 They also need to start prosecuting people who report false crimes...
In regards to the Scott Baio situation, Eggert made an appearance with him on an MTV reality show I believe years later in which they were 'shooting the breeze' in a friendly manner in the sunshine, this was filmed years before her accusations against her co-star and I thought to myself _"What gives?"_
@@tanyairwin3695 Yeah, I know
@@dannyr2976 troll somewhere else
If people knew Mackenzie Phillips true background... they would say anyone that had been through what she went through would be on drugs!
Not everyone with horrible backgrounds grow up to be drug addicts. As a celebrity, she had the means possible for therapy and treatment. I’m glad she’s finally doing well.
It's true, John Philips, her father, was a terrible person who was on drugs all his life. He got her on drugs and was just an all round disaster for everyone around him. A talented man but a dreadful man.
@@ilanamillion8942His soul was as tortured as he was musically talented. So sad.
@@susanmetz9892 well drug induced incest is a whole other kind of tough
Mackenzie wrote the book after he died and while I believe her, he was never able to defend himself.
In 1978 Different Strokes debuted on NBC. By the 79/80 season every new Fall show on NBC had been cancelled by January so the networks success was depending almost entirely on Different Strokes plus a few other shows to carry it while new shows such as Hill Street Blues and Cheers were being developed. Gary Coleman was extremely instrumental in saving the network at that time. This is an amazing story and it's too bad Coleman didn't get a chance to write a book about it.
I really feel sorry for Gary Coleman of Different Strokes . Like one person said ,his manager is rich ,Gary's parents are rich their lawyer is rich meanwhile Gary is working for minimum wage as a security guard and he was not rich . That was so unfair to Gary .
He should have been very rich with a lot of his money invested. He would have been set to relax and do what he wanted, then getting a crappy job. Who would even be scared of him as a security guard?
All kids need to be protected by everyone, that includes their parents. Even adults can get screwed out of their money from their money managers, etc. The only person you can really trust with your money is YOU. You should always be keeping track of where your money is going, rich or poor.If you’re poor, seeing where what little money you have is going and cutting out crap you really don’t NEED, can save money for things your really need to survive.
If I recall correctly, Gary was estranged from his parents because they stole his money when they were his managers. I don’t think his financial misfortunes were all his fault.
Gary Coleman is the reason that child star's money has strict rules about how it can be handled. His parents blew everything he made and left him penniless. They should have been prosecuted fraud and put in jail for what they did to him.
I agree! Not only that… that woman is the store was being aggressive towards him and it was unprovoked. He was a very small sickly man because of a birth defect. The charges should have been thrown out.
The mall was using him,for his celebrity,not his strength.They knew he would be harassed,at times,by the idiot fan,who doesn’t care about how they behave.He was still recognised,as a celebrity,and the mall should have looked after him.
Not just the entertainment industry, but sometimes the child actor’s own parent(s)/guardian use them, emotionally abuse them, and spit them out. The number of underage performers who are psychologically and sexually assaulted on sets, where the hell is their supposed guardian???
Gary Coleman's parents are a good example of spending away their child's fortune. To the point where he could barely afford a transplant.
@@lavanderwilliams794 😢
@@lavanderwilliams794 Right! He worked his entire childhood only to discover he was broke at 18! He was often made to work while sick. Behind the scenes things weren’t sunshine and roses for him. If I remember correctly even Todd Bridges has spoke out about the mistreatment. You begin to add all up he had every reason to be an angry adult.
@@randeehughes6143 His biggest problem was having people walk up to him, patting his head like a little kid, and bugging him to do that Willis line. And get mad at him because he got irritated. That kind of treatment would make anyone snap out.
@@lavanderwilliams794 And he was small with round cheeks from his illness, which makes it that much worse
06:00 Gary Coleman... The reason he was working as a security guard was his parents squandered all the money he made acting... They basically spent everything leaving him penniless...
That's a shame. I'm sure there's others.
I believe he actually brought a law suit against his parents because of it.
😔
Their needs to be a law requiring all underage actors be appointed an indepentant, impartial fiduciary to monitor and audit the parents/guardians’ use/saving of the child’s wages.
@@Laudon1228 agreed
Didn't know about Tracey Gold's auto accident that injured her husband and one of her children. The fact that she was drunk driving and sustained no injuries isn't uncommon. Drunks are so relaxed, that they don't tense up during the crash. Seen it many times in the emergency room...
Dang,how many times were you in an accident drunk and relaxed and in the emergency room 🤣😂
Driving drunk with your whole family in the car not a good idea… This is not a child we are talking about anymore this is a grown woman who is married with children smh
FACT VS FICTION
That’s true and it’s a tragic irony. I don’t know if the commenter “Jeffery” was trying to be funny but his attempt failed. It isn’t a matter to be joked about.
Gary Dourdan wasn't known for being on Different World, he was known for portraying Warrick Brown on the television series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
Such a tragedy. He had everything going for him. Don’t get me wrong, he did it to himself, but I was always hoping he’d get help and turn it around.
Gorgeous man, too! 😟😢
@@WWG1WWGA yes, he was. It’s really sad he found his way out.
I’m glad you said that. I was remembering him from CSI as well.
I like him in CSI but the drugs got him
Don't you find it interesting (and ironic) that Cosby's role of Dr. Huxtable was an OBGYN!
Heathcliff, heathcliff no one should .....
No, he played a pediatrician.
I have always had alot of respect for Gary Coleman. He made enough money from his commercials, movies, and Different strokes. He should have lived a comfortable life if his parents had properly managed his money instead of ripping him off. Instead of whining about his plight he took a common job to pay his bills all the while dealing with many health issues.
💯💯 I believe he was already frustrated with having to work a regular job... Being harassed by a fan while trying to get a uniform for it, had to be hell. Smh rip
In one news show about child actors a man said Gary's parents are rich ,their lawyer is rich but Gary is working as a security guard for minimum wage , is that justice ? No .
Really sad what happened to him.
They should note that Dana Plato killed herself after appearing on Howard Stern where he humiliated her horribly. I herd the show on WBSN Boston.
Wow really? I never knew that 😳 he's a vile human being. He also did awful shit to Carnie Wilson.
I've always said and I wish people would realize what a piece of s*** Howard Stern is his entire career is just being a dirtbag but I know of the most people who listen to him are pretty much dirt bags themself
Well, it was clear for her whole existence that she was not mentally stable. Being in a high stress environment will certainly not help that.
@@aaacomp1 Then Stern should have been more caring. Did you see the show?? The you don't know what he said....
It was an awful mean interview...so sad 😪
Of the three Different Strokes kids Todd Bridges has had the best outcome. Glad to know he’s turned his life around and hope he continues to have a happy,healthy life.
Todd Bridges has had the best result you say? Yep, 'cause he's still alive I say.
He was on "Everybody hates Chris' not too long ago. He seems to be doing fine.
Agree. That's terrible what happened to Plato and Coleman. I'm not convinced that Coleman's was an 'accident'. His wife abused him. Also, I'm not buying that Plato killed herself. She was a caring mom, and I believe her od was accidental.
he seems like a good person to me...we've all been thru $hitty phases in life that take over our minds where we have to dig ourselves out of our own hell we created
@@waynej2608 any OD is suicide. Caring moms don’t use drugs.

Liquid courage.
This is why I don't understand how some ppl can look up to celebs.

@@nana820able Entertainment/Sports make a lot of money!
I've always wondered why former stand up comedian and talk show host Jenny Jones, never came forward as a victim during the whole Bill Cosby allegation period and trial. She herself said she was a victim of his predatory ways before the story broke nationwide.

@@petermuise4927 . I agree. Her cooking videos are really good.
Her shows are awesome but she's full of crap!! The whole "me too" movement is complete bullshit!!

Situations like these have made me concerned for child actors ever since. I hope, for example, that the child actors from Modern Family and The Middle are doing okay. From what I understand, having all that attention for years and years and then suddenly not having it anymore can be a serious psychological shock.
Malcom X In The Middle would be a great show
@@princesssprinklesthecat4192 "That's it, mister. No more Different Strokes reruns for you."
All three kids from "Diff'rent Strokes" were accused of crimes.
What was going on the set of that show? What were the adults on set and behind the scenes doing, not keeping an eye on these kids?
Good point.

When the cameras are on you are truly a major Hollywood superstar. When the cameras are off you are your miserable self.
The saddest for me were Gary Coleman and Dana Plato, especially Dana because I only recently found out that her son also committed suicide. I have no doubt that what happens to the children in that industry is because of the kinds of abuse they suffer.
Oddly enough, in the early days of TV child actors often did better after the shows were over, because of people like Jackie Coogan(the original Uncle Fester), who ran advocacy groups to prevent child labor exploitation.
Yep, same! Both of those are so tragic and sad I almost didn't want to watch those segments and be reminded.
Can mental illness run in families? Was Dana's son also in show business?
@@Jasmine215100 From what little I read it does not seem as though he was in the business.

Drunk driving laws are actually enforced now. There was a time when cops would give you a break. If they hadn't, I could probably have been arrested for it a dozen times. I wound up with one DUI and quit drinking shortly thereafter. Best decision I ever made.
Drunk driving is a reckless selfish stupid act. And I am being polite. I had an Aunt that had just beat breast cancer and was struck and killed by a drunk driver in a grocery store parking lot. The driver was doing 60 through the parking lot.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

It is sad that many child actors end up trying to recapture the fame and attention that they once had. There should be more support for child actors so that they can adapt to a more normal life once they are no longer required by Hollywood etc.
Obviously, Tracey Gold learned NOTHING from the drunk driving episode of Growing Pains. That episode should have taught many the dangers of drunk driving. Matthew Perry didn't learn anything either.
It was tv. Tv is not real life to young people.

What's so bad about bill Cosby is he had Marisa tomaie fired from a different world after he found out she posed for playboy magazine

When you drink and drive , then crash, it’s not an accident.
Unless you purposely wreck while being drunk, I would say that it still qualifies as an accident
I can't believe you didn't have a word to say about Kelsey Grammer. Sometimes he appeared on the set of 'Cheers' wearing an ankle monitor for drink and drugs; he was also a Humbert Humbert.

@@colico14 Right-wingers?! Now we’re talking serious crimes.
Leave Joyce dewit alone she made a mistake wish her well.
And there were a lot of child stars that were even bigger and grew up normal, Billy Mumy, Ron Howard, Shirley Temple.......
Unfortunately, Shirley Temple had to fight off preditors, even as a child. She said that she was regularly groped, terrorized, and threatened by Hollywood executives.
A lot of the issues for child entertainers occur after fame ends. Many can't adjust to a return to normal life as an adult. Others keep trying to be taken seriously as adult actors but find it impossible to breakthrough their former cutesy stereotype. The one's you mentioned continued to be famous and work in entertainment even in adulthood. Fame is an emotional drug so its understandable that once lost, many former child entertainers turn to drugs and alcohol to maintain that high.
I think you missed the point. Ron Howard was an actor of the 70’s, Shirley Temple was an actress of the 30’s and Billy Mummy was an actor of the 60’s. These are all actors of the 80’s in sitcoms. The author could have done the same for actors on any decade.
No one in Hollywood is “ normal”
Some people don’t see the obvious. They are children who is working often forcefully because of high rewards often collected by their guardians. Anyone fails to see it as a very unhealthy environment for kids, just don’t see anything. I’m talking to you multimood. Oh, your name explains many things about you.
Todd Bridges and Gary Coleman were so stinking cute- I’d forgotten how cute they were as little guys. Sure loved that show.
And Todd had a non-surgical Janet Jackson as an onscreen girlfriend. Lucky dude.
Gotta love Tracie Gold. I'm glad she's learned!
I was personal security for Soleil Moon Frye who played Punky Brewster when she made a film in Louisiana over 20 years ago and she was horrible. I almost quit security work because of her.

@@youknowbetter1509 I'd love to read more details.

Anyone else seeing Bill Cosby’s hand going a little to low on that woman standing next to him in the black dress? Or was it just an innocent “old man” move?

I have always thought the Dana Plato armed robbery pretty interesting. Police investigator to Store clerk "can you give us a description of the robber, height, weight, clothing and general appearance?" Store clerk to police investigator " yes, it was Dana Plato!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I remember Dawn Wells issues, and she did the sitcom reunion movies for Gilligan's Island one in 81 and did the Gilligan's Planet cartoon as Mary Ann, and guest star on ALF and Growing Pains.
Dana Plato's life after Different Strokes is a case reminder of how Hollywood used the actors and actresses up especially children when they can't find other work. Dawn Wells, Erin Moran, Dan Plato and others become flat broke and do not earn any or much money off of reruns and all that. I think after what happened to Dana? Things began to change to give support, but it did not helped in Erin's case as she became homeless.
Dawn Wells took residuals for Gilligan's Island .
You can't help someone who won't help themselves.
That's BS. They've had laws in place for child actors for over fifty years. They've had residuals on reruns since 1952. Hollywood isn't to blame for everyone who acts troubles. Different Strokes was in from 78 to 86. How many checks did you want her to receive?
We definitely need to redefine what " wealth" actually means!
Tracey Gold should have known better than to have driven under the influence, especially considering that her character’s boyfriend Sandy (Matthew Perry) died after doing just that in an episode of Growing Pains.
Everyone knows better than to drink and drive. It’s a stupid law. We are asking people that are impaired to make a conscience decision while inebriated. Raise your hands if you believe drunk driving is ok. Now raise your hands if you’ve done it.
OMG I was absolutely thinking about that episode while watching this!
When you are drunk the mind doesn't work right. She is lucky she didn't kill her whole family. Why was she driving and not her husband anyway?
@@tomhumphrey4061 It's a stupid law because you're enough of a jerk to break it? Stronger laws have saved lives.

@Nicole May so true!!

I saw her give a pretty lengthy interview about the behind the scenes problems on the show (the Suzanne Somers contract mess), and she came across as a thoughtful, genuine person.
Most human egos can not handle fame and mass adoration. People are fragile and too much of anything is so overwhelming that its hard to stay sane.
I know a famous child actor, her show was mentioned here, and she always stayed down to Earth. Her mother made sure her life stayed the same. No working during the summer. She went to the same summer camp every year as she did before she started acting. It worked wonders.

I know right

There are times(often) when I'm so glad to be just a nobody.
I would prefer anonymity over fame.

@@lunicola Wasn't asking for moral support here. Can't a person be simply a nobody (if they choose) without someone else's fumbling psychological outlook. BTW, for a (nobody) I've done quite well with my limitations, better than many with far many more advantages. It's all in the challenge.
I'm proud of Todd Bridges
Just HOW SHORT was the person that Gary Coleman punched in the face??? Maybe he just gave the victim's knees a few good whacks.
Lol.
The victim was a female bus driver that weighed 200 pounds.
No, he was standing on a wardrobe.
Bill Cosby was the biggest disappointment.
He was supposed to have been a role model, he let everyone who believed in him down 👎👎👎👎👎👎.
Bill Cosby was set up by the illuminati, they did this to him because he wouldn't sacrifice his wife
@@keithharrison9797 No Keith, Cosby was a rapist that finally got caught, plain and simple bro.
@@largebiff1743 Bull, what do a married man want with ugly old white women???

Damn man. What happened during Different Strokes actors?
They made bad choices. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Incredibly sad how young stars start using drug's.. I feel horrible for those whom have past away... GOD Bless.
The girl who played Buffy on the early 1970s sitcom, 'Family Affair' died of a drug overdose at 18.
@@onebadapple7733 That story still makes me sad after all these years
Awwww, now I wonder if he scripted HIS OWN ROLE AS AN OB/GYN.
How interesting well did Dr Huxtable get to choose what kind of doctor he would play on the show.
His freedom didn’t last long because, shortly after he was arrested there was a ton of law suits and other hearings followed that was supposed to get him locked up.
Duh...... Yea, it was his show🤦🏽♂️
Dustin Diamond died?! I hadn’t heard that!
He died last year of cancer
February 1, 2021
Feb. 2021
He passed less than six weeks after his diagnosis. It was SUPER fast.
Lung cancer.
16:23 That's a nice drawing of Lori!!!!
Kimberly looked like a rich girl. After the show is over, what are they going to do? That is so sad.
She looked like the girl in Sugarland, a singer
I always liked Todd Bridges. I am glad that he straightened out. A lot of those actors and actresses in those days were mind controlled. MOULTRIE mind control started in Hollywood. So over this.
Wow. The mind control bit is quite an off topic stretch that does little to connect the dots enough to make any sense of your 5 sentence ramble. Off your meds perhaps?
Hello Linda how are you doing.
@@brandonbrook9664 please don't be disrespectful thanks
Dont know where you got that info from. Not true at all.
Dana Plato of different strokes had a rocky life till she passed away
I know that she became pregnant while still on the show and they transitioned her off the show because of it. It was all downhill from there.
@@benjaminlucas1635 it was the drugs and that robbery charge that did her in
Pretty sad...
@@norms3913 No it wasn't. They were a symptom of what she was going through. Imagine being a well known figure and robbing a small store. It wasn't for the money.
I also remember Todd Bridges showing up in court as a character witness for her. I lived in Vegas at the time and it was big news, all of it.
I had a huge crush on Dana Plato and Joyce DeWhitt as a kid. Was super bummed when Plato died.
Loved Bonsell when he played in Star Trek TNG :)
Bill Cosby is out now…what a monster.
Scott Baio was accused of sexual assault by a woman who was a minor at the time of his show and accused of bragging "bedding minors" to a male actor who worked for him. He didn't even get charged.
@@vincentmaldon7707 innocent till proven guilty maybe
Philips is a star kudos to her for turning her life around Nd make a difference in the world.
I agree

The college should have been fined for making the deal for cash to put daughter. In collage.
I don't care who they are, they are human just like all of us and never to deserve what a everyday person gets!!!
so they should not be punished?
@@drondello1 No, just the opposite!! They deserve the same punishment anyone else would get in whatever the situation is. They are no better!! I see my mistake in comment..Oops
I see you did some research on Joyce DeWitt but not on Suzanne sommers. Because if you did you would find that miss sommers had spent a night at Hillcrest Juvinile hall in Belmont California, San Mateo county in the 70s. Counselors that would remember her Tory, sunshine, Miss cokas and Mr. Gonzalez. Stuart Forrest was running hillcrest at the time.
We need to get rid of the statute of limitation for any sexual assaults'.
Ain’t it funny how when u get caught breaking the law as a celeb, ur wrist get slapped over and over? It makes u wonder what is the reason that I’m following all these laws that money can just make go away?
I was a huge Joyce Dewitt fan.good to see she was the most harmless on the list
I was a young teenager when I first saw Joyce DeWitt, loved her, she is the reason I prefer women with her body style, dark hair, VERY, VERY SEXY!!!!!!
Drugs do bad things to people who use or sell them
Only users lose drugs.
I'm not minimizing drunk driving but Joyce DeWitt being charged with a DUI (> 0.08) is hardly a "serious crime."
Made the judge mad when I asked what his cut of the justice was going to be.
Many celebrates think their fame is a license do to whatever they want without fear or repercussions.
Some however if you ever had worked in the industry, you would know the long (12 hour average daily), physical demands on the body can contribute to drug and alcohol abuse. In addition, being wellloved and then finding yourself on unemployment after your show is cancelled can also contribute.
@@IMeMineWho Granted, I have never worked in the industry, but spent 24 years in the US Army Infantry, and a 12 hour day deployed is a short one. 16 hours was the norm, 7 days a week, for often 15 months at a time (like I did in Iraq in 2003-2004. And any stress that being unemployed is nothing compared to getting shot at daily. And yet, there was no drug abuse and drinking was not abused. We were in a muslim country so alcohol was hard enough to come by as it was.
How ironic Cosby was an OB/GYN in the Cosby Show. He couldnt just be a GP...no, he had to be a GYN~!
