WTF Happened to STEPHEN COLLINS?

We know him as the dedicated religious from 7th Heaven, but beneath his righteous pursuit lies a dark and twisted closet full of skeletons. This is WTF happened to Stephen Collins- a truly horrifying Hollywood monster.

When people say things like “my truth” you know they’re gonna be full of it.

Ironic that Stephen's brief recurring role in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia portrays him as the antithesis of Danny Devito's character, only to find out that, in real life, he's much *_MUCH_* worse.

[LeoLeddy]

Not defending Collins, it's weird how Hollywood cut this guy off but had no problem supporting people like Roman Polanski for decades and gave him an Oscar.

[stefanpp]

Maybe it was method acting for his role as a pastor?

To this day I still dont know what exactly V-ger did to Captain Decker, but it obviously changed him for the worst.

[melindakinnaird]

You know it's bad when your costar says the only way the show will be rebooted is if your character dies.

[kenbrandt]

Holy shit. I don't follow pop culture that closely, and haven't for years, so this is the first I've heard of this. Crazy. I knew him best as Captain Decker, and from Always Sunny.

Oddly Stephen still has his Twitter account. It even mentioned his role in Ted 2 which didn't happen due to the allegations came out. Now Al Bundy is America's dad.

This is nothing compared to Victor Salva, who directed the Jeepers Creepers films. I will never understand how someone who, in the 1990s, was convicted of kidnapping and torturing a young boy and filming the whole thing, was then allowed to direct a theatrical movie in 2001 and beyond. Disgusting.

[Stablemable]

Abusing kids or minors is the worst thing you can do but anytime I think about the TV dads that disappointed and disgusted me, its Collins and Cosby.

[TrentVandal]

I recall he condemned 7th co-star at the time, Jessica Biel, for posing in a sexy photo spread. 🙄

[jackjekyll]

*I HIGHLY doubt all he did was expose himself*

[wstine]

It was interesting that him and his Seventh Heaven wife Catherine Hicks both starred in Star Trek movies.

[joseluken]

I am so glad that somebody is actually talking about this

[KadeemG]

It’s a good thing he stepped away from the limelight and should never look back going to Hollywood ever again. I love 7th Heaven back then on The WB and he used to be one of the best TV dads of the 90’s. But just like Bill Cosby, just because you’re labeled as a “TV Dad” doesn’t mean that no matter how so many baggage that you’re hiding, the ride is over and your career is done. No more second chances, no more contract hirings, you’re an outcast.

I like how if you do a Google search for him, it lists him as "American former actor." I never thought he was a good actor, but he has totally ruined Star Trek The Motion Picture for me.

[cadillacdeville]

The SHEER AUDACITY of him ... and his interview was deplorable. Just like his actions.

[erniemiller]

As for his religion, he was Episcopal. He now studies Transcendental Meditation.

[erniehudson]

The introduction was so unneccarry. It was basically "I don't care whose feelings I hurt, but we at Joblo bravely announce that exposing yourself to kids is wrong! Joblo says no!"

[-NateTheGreat]

So why is he not sitting in a jail cell?
