Don't work in Hollywood, but one of the most disgusting things (celebrity wise) I have seen in recent years was that trash so-called news outlet, TMZ, breaking the news about Kobe Bryant's helicopter crash before his family and the families of the other victims were personally informed. I can't imagine learning you have lost a loved one via a breaking news story. When my uncle was in a car accident, the moment the doctor came out to tell us he hadn't survived was one of the worst moments of my life and we were told directly, in private. So, I can't even fathom the horror of Kobe's family and the other families experienced hearing some so-called reporter saying the helicopter had crashed and everyone had died.
TMZ wasn't going to wait or ask permission. Their whole agenda was to get the scoop first.
@@ghost245353 Jesus, I swear this world got no ethnic rules.
It happens on a personal level... like Facebook. I couldn't get through three numbers when my husband died before everyone shared it. Everyone knew before his body was extracted.
Because of that everyone made up wild theories that were not good for anyone involved.
I get what you're saying, but your uncle wasn't Kobe. Your uncle wasn't an international star. You don't get basic human expectations when you living above the basic humans
@@luciq1007 That is a sad outlook. And one that lacks compassion. You're basically saying a celebrity is not deserving of basic respect...what about their families and the families of the victims who didn't have the last name Bryant?
Worked in the Canadian Film industry for the past 7 years, I’ve worked with some freaking monsters (Cast and Producers) but the sexual harassment and bullying are what lead me to finally leave the industry. This happened when I was 22, very new to the industry and didn’t have the experience to understand how fucked up the situation was. I was walking to set costumes in the cast trailers that morning and a producer pulled me aside. He gave me a rundown on the lead actor and told me to never be alone with him in his trailer because, and I quote “you’re his type, a hot little piece of ass.” I was completely creeped out and disgusted by the producers comments. More than once while clearing the actor would come onto the Wardrobe truck to “see how I was doing” and if I was alone in his trailer clearing costumes he’d attempt to come back in “to see if he missed anything”. I was VERY thankful the Transport captain gave me the scariest guy to standby whenever I needed to go in a month into shooting.
Edit: NEVER will I work for Disney again. I did 2 separate movies and a TV show, left the TV show because of how many child labor laws they broke and reported it. Was never used and abused more than while working on Disney movies, only actor to EVER make me cry while on set was a Disney channel star. She was the worst and it grosses me out to see young girls still idolizing such a bully.
Give name
The name, give us the name!
NAME
give us a hint. please
I need names
Producer here in Australia, had some success overseas and in LA. It's absolutely a shady place. The amount of big studios that tried to rip us off in regards to our multi award winning movie. If you have any sort of smarts about you you'll see right through it but they pray on that 1 out of 10 people who are clueless.
They pray on the ignorant and take advantage every chance they could get.
But I think everyone knows this 🤣🤣.
Drug culture is also way worse then it was back in the day they are just better at hiding it.
I'm 51, a veteran. Live in Orlando, Orlando.gov . I've done a few TV, movie sets, media jobs. Some dir, crews are good. Many are union(want $ or to be cushy jobs). Some are neurotic 🥴. Many smoke a lot or have drug/alcohol issues. Not just actors, stars. The $$$ can be very good. Crews and actors get catered meals, hotels, vans or SUVs. They become slanted, bitter.
Man I am going deep a rabbit whole about the industry because I’m working on becoming a director and wow this is tough. I wish you guys the best in your career and in life. And seeing comments here about how fucked up things get. Thanks for the stories and realization.
@@jeffgallardo3242 Hollywood has always been a shady place mate, there for sure has been a change in the last few years with the me too movement and people not standing for bad behaviour anymore from anyone on set. It's cleaned up a lot on the public and work side but there is always going to be that shady side to it. They are there to make money and lots of it....if they can cut corners they will, if they can exploit something or someone they will.
You just gotta be on your toes. Find some friends you trust and go out and go for it. Have a code and stick by it. Don't be pulled in by the big dollars if it sounds fishy or too good to be true. There is always a catch.
For us it was to get into some of the festivals we'd have to pay for our own cinema release in a 150 cinemas. Ended up costing us a big chunk of the deal money to do that. So we kinda ended up back at 0. We hoped for the hype to catch on which is kind of did in a way into be cult audience way....but not enough for any major studios or distribution company's to be interested. We eventually got an ok deal. Sold viewing right and covered the budget and paying the cast and crew. But never made a profit.
The worst thing is the film and tv industry in Australia is very much a who you know type of business so 0 Aussie distribution companies wanted a go at it. Even though it was award winning and not small ones. Big independent film festivals it would win grand jury prize.
If you'd like to check it out it's called the suicide theory it's on Google Play/TH-cam pretty cheap these days to rent.
I loved working on that film, but it really did sour me a bit on doing it again with the wrong people.
@@UltraMagnis damn man thank you for that response ill take that into account and hell yea im more than happy to check it out mate. Cheers!
@@UltraMagnishey mate, so sorry to hear you’ve been through such shite. I’m going to check out your film, best wishes for the future and keep the vision going. Thank you for your integrity!
Hearing more and more shit that happens reinforces my idea of never setting foot in Hollywood let alone cali. And I’ll just set up a production company in my home state
I did work on a low budget film, 2013. 60% of the cast, crew were from SoCal. A few actors were +. Most of the producers, crew were d&/× holes, 2 faced. The $$$ the producers, investors screwed with was bad. 🤦🏼 Some crew was not paid. 🏦 Some shows, networks are well run, ethical. Most are not.
There's nothing wrong with California as a whole. There are 30 million people, and most of them aren't involved in Hollywood.
You totally should
Good qe don't want yall country asses over here any way lol
You see a rich man approach you in a black suit, decline his offer. because that man is the devil
Tear it all down I say, we’d all live happier lives without Hollywood
Yes 🙌
J my man preaching the damn word of god right here
Is this the hill you guys are will to die on? Not genocide, not wages and cost of living, not corrupt politicians. No we need to make sure the next season of Kobra Kai never sees the light of day!
Really?
@@ChuxDiaz Hollywood really is a disgusting company
@@snowyvul Hollywood isn't a company, it's a place.
I feel Hollywood is a place that tears something from you. Not everything. But a slow nick each time. Until you're crackling. Celebrity culture shouldn't be a thing. ANYWHERE.
yea but also its supporters who worship certain stars are just as bad let alone the radio channels and news stations that put them on some pedestal...
No wonder movies are so terrible in the 21st century. The self-obsessed people who make them are concerned with everything else except making good movies. This makes complete sense.
lol this in not unique to the 21st century.
I think that statement kind of does a disservice to all the good movies that are still made in these times. There are absolutely many terrible films but we cannot just ignore all the good ones where actual effort was put in.
@@zed6740name any and without an agenda as well
they’re getting worse for this reason though y’all stop making a wash of everything and/or towing the line for assholes
Bullshit statement...theres a gross oversupply of terrible movies@@zed6740
Most of the time “executive producer” is just the person who puts up the money to create the film (already has it/gets ppl to invest/or like the video said, take out a loan etc..)
Yeah, I remember looking that up years ago, because I wondered what the difference was between that, and just a "regular" producer. Learning they do nothing but help find people to pay for it, kinda lessens the impact of the whole, "from the executive producer of (insert the names of big, successful Hollywood films here)" punch. It's like settle down, buddy..... you secured a high interest loan from a bank, you didn't write the screenplay for "The Dark Knight"!?!?
@@mariannecontrino6297 "They do nothing but help find people to pay for it."
Wait so you mean they don't just look towards the production or publisher company for funding?
Lubetube may censor this, but "pimp out their kids" isn't some sort of euphemism. They are actually giving their kids bodies in return for roles.
*For their own financial gain. Before child labor laws existed, one child (back in the 20s, 30s and 40s) would have to support their entire family and never received a cent for themselves. THAT, is prostitution IMO. Pathetic and sad.
iv read other reports stating this ,certain stars are obsessed with being in hollywood...
*At **23:52** I'd bet this is Tom Cruise. His sister was his manager for a few years until he fired her for making a ton of bad decisions on his behalf. He was a laughingstock that whole time.*
Cruise has never been a laughing stock in the actual industry. This is just stupid
I'm glad you shared this about Mira Sorvino; I liked her acting and ever since I heard how she was blacklisted by Weinstein; I have been under the impression that a nice person had gotten effed over. If she's mean then it's just mean met meaner.
If there's anyone who deserves being treated shitty and dealing with slimes like Weinstein, its someone like her.
I love your pfp
These stories aren't surprising. Hollywood has been messed up since the invention of " moving pictures".
True that. Have you heard of the making behind the Wizard of Oz there was some messsed up stufff
@@thatssomehoopla
>Wizard of Oz
Oof, the shitshow behind it is the stuff of legends.
We're you there when the "talkies" came about grandpa?
1 Embellish real life
2 project' it on a large screen
3 put agendas in it
4 advertise it with masonic symbolism
5 market to those with no critical thinking skills
6 indoctrinate the majority
7 cross migrate to other areas of entertainment (sports, news, politics)
8 make it all an acting conglomerate
9 repeat and exploit
it’s true, shirley temple wrote about famous directors and studio heads trying to m*lest her in her memoirs. and she was a major star! one can only imagine what lesser known child stars went through. of course that sick tradition continues today.
I was an actor in LA for a very brief period of time. I was surprised by the amount of guys who were gay for pay. This didn’t necessarily mean intercourse or any sexual activity (although these did happen). Some times it’s was as benign as going to dinner being seen with a known gay studio producer and acting as his “toy” so the producer can flex on his inner circle. Some is down right sick. Put it this way-most professional bodybuilders don’t make more than 60,000-70,000 per year as a bodybuilder. Their steroids annually cost 20-50k. Diet is about the same. But showing up at gay parties and doing what ever they do there 25k just by walking in the door. Extra doors for extra activity while at the party is always available.
Alot of gay fetishes by vince mcmahon a wrestling promoter too, and the stories in sure you have heard by now.
my BF has a masters in music producing from berklee - realized in the first 2 years he couldn't work in the industry, taking advantage of a young person's dreams, milling out whatever $ the production/recording co. could without caring where the artists ended up in the long run. he quit when he reported a higher up for basically seggual asslt against more than one intern, and was essentially told to keep quiet or get fired. The interns were generally there as a program toward becoming artists. He now ghost writes, mentors and produces independently but is still under an NDA so, can't say much more than that. It's not Hollywood, but it's adjacent enough to mention.
The devil was a musician that got kicked out of heaven and ever since with the illuminati and freemasons they have been taking advantage on this earth and in this realm for evil to compromise the after life in the spirit one.
What he loved from a purist standpoint towards the complacency of a composition and all the people involved is thus corrupted and infiltrated by evil. Usually it is people with no morals so they become myopic and only think of money, not everything that makes someone great, they are all those that failed that just wanna make money at the expense of those greater than that.
I’m surprised no one mentions the controversy around Brooke Shields.
You’re the first I’ve heard of it. What happened?
@@QuartuvLarry WOW you don't know? Google is your friend. Too long to tell.
@@QuartuvLarry she was in playboy at a young age like 11. If im not mistaking she also did adult movies when that young too
@@realamericannegro977 Adult films... Brooke Shields? In a couple of words No Way. Her mother may have been the ultimate stage mother (and yes Brooke had the one nude photo shoot at age 11 or 12) but you don't groom your kid to be a star by doing porn. Shields herself is highly intelligent (alumni of Princeton) and has done well for herself as an author and actress.
iv heard others mention this as rumors,i knew she was a model and highly prized by hollywood,but adult movies iv not heard of and ,there was no bashlash for it ?
It’s really gross how these ppl are involved in illegal actions just by watching but will put it off on others. You are ALL responsible.
Hollywood is overrated any way.

So basically…no positive or redeeming qualities of anyone or anything in Hollywood
I figured as much
That one with the guy from Minnesota pitching his kids movie idea pissed me off so much for some reason. Not even giving the person a chance to explain their premise is already bad enough; why can’t these producers say “no thank you, we’re not interested” like a polite person, instead of being a smug asshole about it and making some idiotic pun like they think they’re clever and funny for it? But I guess I shouldn’t expect common human decency from Hollywood.
They want everyone to care about fabricated bullshit as much as there inflated egos do so they can have power and stay in it
Plus the Lies, murderers, big Mafia, names: Rudolph Valentino death, Cielo Drive, and much more.
yea i hate hollywood and everything about it as well as the music industry...
Worked on a B sci-fi film years ago, nice crew but I realized from that experience I never want to work in film again. It wasn't a bad experience but I realized during the process it was not a field for me.
Film, TV, media is NOT for everyone. There are many scumbags & 2 faced a holes. Many people raise funds 💲 for low budget or direct to video, streaming then take a cut of the funds. They don't give 2 💩 about the series or films. They just want $. Be ready to deal with rejection and some brash, d%=÷ holes.
I worked with a actor from MN who did work on a Asylum-SyFy film, 2013 era. He told me the prodco had 17, 17 😳 1ADs(asst director). I've seen crazy sets, mania.
so its not the crew or cast that are the problem? is it the producers and directors?
So you're just.... telling a personal story? It doesn't have anything to do with the video, just "not a fan of film" 😂 ok, main character
So much of what was said here helps us "outsiders" understand why Alec Baldwin's stupidity occurred with firearms. I worked with kids' programs and one fellow went to Hollywood after finishing college. He was writing scripts as I understand it, and he was such a nice, quiet fellow (as are his parents and sister) that I wonder how Hollywood will treat him and what he'll be like as a result. Sounds like the entire industry is like a human tree chipper.
My nephew has the music gene like I stopped after I'm sure he figured it out himself, he has a feminist gf who identifies as non binary that wants to be a screenwriter, he's already been sexually harassed by a male predator i feel for him and pray nothing happens.
Then city of fallen angels. The occult is deep in the industry.
If you think it’s not possible, in Hollywood, it is.
When art becomes business only, no wonder the movies are beyond dull.
I believe the one about Adi Shankar…. I looked him up bc I saw him in a documentary on Netflix bc I have never heard of him. He is listed as producer but he just seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
If I ever become a moviemaker, I would specialize in movies on obscure WW2 stories plus some semi-famous ones that deserve a movie, like corporal Wojtek the bear, Elephant company in Burma, and more
what about "Operation dumdo drop" i felt that was all the elephants in war I ever want to see

My uncle was in charge of making sure props for tv shows were kept on set apparently people would steal the tv show furniture and props and a bunch of random things. Apparently they still almost a million dollars of equipment from the studio . Apparently the producers were mean and most of them are sexist ,racist and pretty much crude people.he said it was to stressful he decided to retire early because Hollywood and production company are tiring and he rather be retired now .
I worked briefly in non union film production (mostly indie, low budget and ads) and the most appalling thing that still persists in that industry is just how little people sleep between production days. Im mostly referring to the crew like PAs, grips and electricians. There’s something called a “double dip” which means a day player will work two production day shift back to back. That’s usually a 12-18 hour day. Sometimes more. PAs, G and E’s are on set from first call time to wrap. Ass busters. Not going to sit here and say drugs weren’t involved.
Just say the names they won't know it's you
Lived and worked in the service industry in the resort town Palm Springs, California. I met some horrible people, but also kind ones. The most famous I met was Bob Hope. He was one of the kind ones. If want details, I’ll ask. (I don’t want to post a mini essay if no one is interested.)
How did Bob Hope stand out as "one of the kind ones" if I may ask? Thanks.
@mrconfusion87 He was quite aware of the fact that without an audience/tans, he’d never have gotten to where he was and all that he’d achieved. When I waited on him the first time, I was the new employee. He requested to my manager that he meet every new employee. He was a peer when I met him and didn’t shake hands but greeted you with a smile. A genuine smile. Not his on-screen smile that was more of a smirk. A *real* smile. Expressive eyebrows and wide eyed. Sorry if I wrote too much.
14:03 "bigguythrows" is definitely Josh Peck
20:45 sounds like the star was Jenni Rivera - she was an absolute doll of a person
😢 thank you for this comment. I'm sorry that happened. May she rest in peace. ❤
Just wanted to emphasize just how good people are at writing very detailed and intricate stories that sound real but are completely made up, never underestimate a person's ability to craft a very believable and convincing lie usually using things that are true and really happened to back up other parts that are completely made up
Not saying that they're all lies just assume that anything you see written by an anonymous person that can't be verified is made up. Just take it as entertaining stories and that if they happen to be true that's great but never assume that something is true without it being verifiable.
But movies are completely made up, if a movie says based on a true story it is all but a guarantee it is almost entirely fabricated and they shouldn't have to say it is based on a true story if a biopic etc
These fake computer voice narrators are almost as bad as these Hollywood deviants.
6:04 is when the real dark stuff happens.
Ugh, so many of these are infuriating.
The stabbing scene was one of the worst.
The Bentley twins are now pleasantly plump and seem much happier.
Love the AD going "not my problem" after his incompetence halted production.
Regarding the accidental stabbing with an actual knife instead of a pro: it sounds like the incident on the Rust set, and the death of Brandon Lee. There was also the time Kurt Russell smashed a priceless antique guitar on the set of Hateful Eight, thinking it was a prop.
This is why I rarely go to the movies anymore. Everyone involved in filmmaking is sleazy as hell.
Well all of these people are gonna be found and suddenly disappear

So here my fucked up story.
I was a bit of a drug addict in my mid 20 and basically went from hook up to hook in the gay community to get my fix and mess around. One time I went to a nice place in Korea town south of Hollywood. Dude lived high up in the fancy places there. By the time I got there I was high strung and ready to do the deeds. Instead we just did drugs and talked, allot. Turns out this guy works for some gay media thing and basically runs it along side a few others. Showed me a music video he produced. Idk where and why but he ended up telling me that the reason why the gays when promoted is always a thin muscular white boy. It’s cuz we, the gays, find it the most appealing. In my head I’m like yeah kinda obv but then he goes further saying that people like him prevent the growth of curtain types of gays getting popular in the music industry and media. That they want to promote the sex selling ones and have the heart felt ones more stay indie on their own in LA which can’t work out often. That they convince gays with sex and drugs to just sign papers and do what they are told basically close to being hookers.
On a side note if your gay and got money all the gogo dancer in the West Hollywood area are actually hookers so just find out how to rent one for awhile. They closed down one place a few times with one time being that they got found out that they were pimping out the dancers and pushing drug sales in the bathroom.
20:45 her name was Jenny rivera and she still loved till this day
I love that al Bundy joke
12:10 “Lot of eggo’s” huh? Makes me hungry for butter and syrup.
I watched George Cloony force an intern to drink a 2 gallon bucket of hot bloody spicy infectious diarrhea
when?
@@stella-vu8vh I was a production assistant on the set of oceans 11 in 2000. Him and his friends were sick from eating tainted Chinese food so they all defecated into a recycling bucket then cornered some set lighting intern and forced him to drink it. They forced him to get naked first and put on a woman's wig and lipstick. They all gave him their autographs after he did it so that was pretty cool of them.

Ive got an idea for a movie about a cruise ship that sinks its called Tiberius
Been an assistant editor for 7 years. Worked on something like 25 shows. Never had a bad experience or saw anything shady.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you could find horror stories about ANY line of work, and the people involved in it. For example, I'm a teacher....wanna hear some crazy shit about creepy janitors, tyrannical principals, INSANE parents, and overly emotional 13 year old?!?! Well oh boy, have I got some good news for you!!!!
Really? 🤔 I've done set security, extra work, some PA-set work. I've seen well run shows, productions. I've seen scumbags, unsafe sets, actors who were dirty 🤦🏻♂️, drunk. Producers who stole $$$ lied about budgets.
I guess like all things in life, is that you get lucky and things are always 50/50. Try living in the ghetto, speaking from experience it wasnt that bad but to friends it sucked and was also not that bad.

So… Adam Baldwin is more like his character in Radio Flyer. Good to know.

If anyone needs an example of this watch the original Mad Max. They had no permits to do anything, no real professional stuntmen or crew.
