The real narrative here is the importance of a strong mother...would be interested in an interview with her.

I like the line "it's the men who chose to work with young girls." John Dillinger or some old bank robber was asked why he robbed banks. "That's where the money is."

Brett is so well grounded, smart, savvy and beautiful. Well done to her mom for raising such a great person.

[ivanhughes]

The fact that Brett went through that and STILL became the person she is today is of great credit to her. Well done and more power to women like this.

this is hands down the most beautifully lit podcast on earth. Week after week. This is the peak.

That's what "sell your soul" means... good on you Brett and good on your mum!!

Brett is lucky. Too many mothers seem to want to live vicariously through their children, with tragic results for the children...

(edit: spelling correction)

finding out how many pedo's were involved in entertainment media that I probably enjoyed many years ago is fucking up my brain. it's pretty shocking that there aren't more preventative measures in place to help the kids. having a great set of parents seems to be best way to mitigate the risk of kids being victimized.

that last comment of hers, about what is trying to be conveyed and do you agree with it, very proud

Even as a straight white male, I’ve had tons of negative experiences of the sort described here, and from both men and women in power positions (writers, directors, producers). I rejected them all, and my nascient acting career sputtered to a stand still. I have zero regrets.

I don't know why people are so malicious towards Brett. She seems like a veyr no nonsense and thoughtful person to me. She is one of the few gen z commentators who aren't woke. Can't wait to listen to the full podcast with this lovely human. Thanks for bringing this important topic to light, Chris!

I never knew Brett was a child actor my badd.
First became aware of her on her podcast, well done to her mother...

[Rootz]

Strong parents, regardless of gender, are important. They are not something that can be substituted out of one's life easily.

[prettybird]

Parental love, guidance shapes the quality of our world. When you raise children properly those qualities are passed down from generation to generation. It proliferates, it’s infectious…

[risinbison]

I’ve watched Brett’s channel several times, never knew she was a child actor. Great interview.

In the 1970s Johnny Carson made a lot of jokes on The Tonight Show, about the Hollywood Casting Couch. Decades later I stumbled on a photo online, of Oprah Winfrey having lunch with her pal Harvey Weinstein. She knew. Then the final puzzle piece, of why the cover-up? I was watching Mel Brooks being interviewed by Jimminy Glick...aka Martin Short. I could sniff the stench of this from the mid-West, 50 years ago. They knew.

Thank you to Brett for sharing that, and thank you to you for allowing her. Good video.

From Hollywood to Broadway, the entire industry is a minefield that no one passes through without taking damage. I have many relatives in this industry and all of them have stories that involve abuse of this sort. You don't know who you can trust, and the ones you think you can trust find themselves at the behest of those whom you can't trust; you are going to find yourself compromised no matter what, even under the best of circumstances.

Part of the problem is that there are so many actors vying for so few jobs, so many writers and directors competing for so few green light opportunities. The desperate will endure any kind of abuse to grasp at that slim chance.

The reason Hollywood will never be cleaned up is because there are too many young women like Brett's "friend" who are willing to do whatever it takes to become famous. If they're gonna throw it at you, what man will resist?

This is the best background yet. Not sure if this is still the digital wall, but it looks great.
