Impressively gossipy! A lot of it was already out in the open, such as the drug and sex addicts, who tend to admit it when they go to rehab. The Freibds of Dorothy stuff is probably pretty accurate although some things are obviously speculation. One thing that amused me was C3PO chatting up young female fans. As if...

Naming names without proof in relation to sex abuse is wrong. These allegations can ruin people's lives if not true.

I do kind if of think 2 and a half men did do it though.

While it wouldnt surprise me, I'm not sure it is. He doesnt fit the original description.

He is one of the most recognizable faces in the industry.” Maybe
“The closeted perv has never come out as gay — and even has children of his own.”
“The family-man facade is an evil monster who has led an extraordinarily twisted double-life.” Has never had a family man facade really
“He was the ‘kingpin’ of a child sex ring that ensnared Haim and Corey Feldman.” At the time he was only 20, would he be a "kingpin"
“The individual — a household name and revered by millions around the globe — had systematically abused him as a young boy, both on-and-off set, in their trailers and at parties attended by other A-List actors.” Dont think he's ever been revered by millions

I wondered if maybe he too had been abused, hence his off the rails lifestyle too and Feldman doesnt like him for not speaking out with Haim or protecting him on set rather than being the abuser. Either way, name names or they should shut up. This guy's family have enough to deal with without these kind of rumours if lies. Will be interesting to see how it pans out.

Was a huge fan of Corey Haim when I was younger. Makes we so sad & angry what was allowed happen to him and many young child stars. Really hope that the sick individuals that were responsible and everyone who knew and did nothing face justice some day

Hollywood: A powerful male dominated institution capable of closing ranks and well practiced at getting others to stay out of its affairs.

Sad isn't it.

I read somewhere it was such a pity he didn't leave a letter naming his rapist, with a solicitor. Stipulating it was to be opened and made public when he died.

Who knows, maybe he did. Money talks, and there's a lot of money in Hollywood...

Its probably wrong as she isn't a kids presenter....

However a certain kids TV star who worked with Mark spight and has a child born in the same year as the "star" I'll just say "kirsty o b" to stop it being obvious
It's not her she's married her child is 5 not three and she's been discussing rats in Newcastle on the local news this week

From CDAN:

EMMY AWARDS: Sometimes, the brand is more important than the person. That is what the producers of the show, including the A list mogul behind it all decided a few years ago. The show is worldwide. It crashed and burned here, although everyone knows the name of it. It is one of those talent type shows that are so prevalent. This happened in the home country of the show. A female contestant made it through to the live rounds. This was odd in of itself because of the way she made it through to the live rounds. She never performed in the live rounds. Too sick to go on everyone said. Not the whole story or even close to it. The woman was raped in the hotel used by the contestants. Fearing the show would be shut down or the name tarnished, they made the woman a deal. She took the deal. The thing is, the producers and mogul and powers behind the scenes just wanted her gone and to have her be as far away from their brand as possible. Technically they followed the letter of the deal, but not the spirit. They just wanted her to sign their deal and be done with her.

I've seen this rumour a few times online over the years. If I'm right I'm pretty sure it's the girl who sang songs about Last Night and having tea and toast while she was on the show.

Yes, I knew quite a few DS people would know this one. Read that Popbitch ran a story which is what triggered this CDAN blind. If this went public, the mogul could face a hell of a backlash. Hate the way so many people, including some of my family members, think he's so great!!

I read an interview with her the other week in which she blamed a family bereavement among other things for pulling out, don't know if the blind is wrong or if she was simply giving the "official" story.

That is absolutely awful. I never thought the supposed story for her pulling out made sense. Totally despicable that they'd do that to her to save the programme. Shame on the media for colluding with Cowell on this...

A sad story. What have the Emmys got to do with it?

Maybe one of the mogul's American shows was nominated for an Emmy but yes the story itself has got nothing to do with the Emmys. It's strange they should title the Blind that way, maybe it was to get as many people to read it as possible before they realised it was some overseas (to America) show it was talking about.

I hope the perpetrator was suitably punished. I don't like to think the victim was made out to be the guilty one here by being forced to leave

Well she took the deal herself. Of course it's sickening about the cover up but she went along with it.

Given the low rates of conviction for rapists and how she would have been portrayed in the press I'm not surprised that a deal like this seemed in the short term a better option.

He got 10 years.

Surprised this is just coming out as a blind though as it's been out there for 4 years and it was pretty obvious at the time who was involved.

IIRC, she was staying in a different hotel to the rest of the contestants along with one other who has now gone on to be one of the biggest stars to come out of the show, though not for actual talent.

That's been floating around for years and while some is correct if you go through it enough some is dead wrong as well Nothing ever changes with gossip.
