Is it me, or does it seem like every other female celebrity has "suffered" child abuse?

It may be just me, but every time I read the news, there is something about some star saying "I was abused by my uncle" Or "My father abused me" and a few others.

Has anyone else noticed this?

    A lot of these so called "celebrities" would appear to suffer from some for of "false memory syndrome" that would seems to only manifest itself when Their publicity people are running short of ideas. The worst part of this phenomenon is that so many people (especially women) are gullible enough to actually believe these claims, and then regard all Men as being in the wrong. Why is it the You never hear of a celebrity confessing to Their own crimes? Surely that would make better reading than the usual "dead relative" stories that we get stuck with.

    Celebrities have the Prima Donna Syndrome. If they are not in the spotlight all the time they perish.

    Hasn't most children of the world been exposed to some mild form of what is labeled nowadays as child abuse and survived?

    Go figure!

    information will continually outweigh perceptions. as long as we proceed to take heed to thoughts in the media each so in many cases some mom who drowned or suffocated her boys or a father who in prisoned his daughter in the attic and raped her for the duration of her teenagers, then which will teach appropriate information that "One mom, One father" isn't an absolute assure that a baby will strengthen up in a classic functioning environment. At that's what relatively concerns, a classic functioning environment, no longer the gender of the parents. look on the form of gay couples who've observed "in threat" or "specific desires" toddlers simply by fact they have been considered "un-adoptable" as those youthful yuppie couples desire the appropriate Gerber toddler. you may actually study/see those thoughts right here and there to 3 baby that became into given up for being no longer able to end something of their life, then they're observed via those gay couples, and with the affection and help they provide the youngster, the youngster succeeds way previous what became into predicted. In essence, people who relatively are suffering indexed under are lower back are the toddlers. lots of those toddlers who they might no longer place in the previous are going to finally end up the superb option the place they began simply by fact of those bigoted ideals from the a lot.

    I have read about some celebrity that have been but its simple statistics, celebrities are just the same as everyone else good things happen to them and bad things happen and in such cases as this very bad things happen. but it happens each and every day. thousands of people are abused everyday but the more people are aware of it the less likely of it to happen and hopefully it will stop completely in time no one ever deserves to be abused.

    Why did you put "suffered" in quotation marks?

    One of the ways of dealing with childhood abuse is speaking openly about it. The percentage of celebrities who were abused is probably equal to the general population; we just don't hear from non-celebrities.

    almost everybody in the world has had an experience with a family member ,it is just the famous who talk about it ,and many people do not talk because it did not bother them ,or they were actually seducing the older person ,this probably happens just as much

    and it tends to happen more with the richer people with less morals and crazier kids
