HIT US UP:

[MelaineT]

I am very uncomfortable with the energy we’ve created in the studio today

[grlyfe]

Now I can't complain bout 20yr olds playing teens

[laliokay]

I would like to know how her parents let her do this.

[ejsbxbeiaskd]

that mustve been a really embarassing scene to act

[ninoadan]

1970s was whacked. And these boomers said our generation is bad.

[candieland]

Ladies, when a man says "I'm different"...RUN

[sunsparkle]

Man, if she was my daughter, there is no way I would have let her do this scene. Aren't there child protection laws that should have prevented this girl from doing this scene?

[Honeybees]

Shocking Brooke didn’t go the same “way” as most childhood stars. She is actually level headed and now has a nice family

[unicornmagic]

The fact they portrayed her as not being at all traumatised is very troubling.

[luvs]

Why the hell couldn't they use an 18/19 year old actress that looked younger, I'm 22 but people think I'm 14 😑 so it shouldn't be so hard to find young looking actresses

[ExperimentalSurgeon]

I have NO idea how this grown man accepted this role alongside an actual little child.

[cayea]

What kind of parents let their 12-year old daughter play in a movie like this?!

[scar]

This freaks me out. They really couldn’t of used an older actress for this roll? I feel so sad for this girl

[bren]

Her innocence taken away right in front of her own parents.

[jordanrivers]

uhh i'm cringing so hard while watching this

[edithtello]

THE GIRL WAS ONLY 12 AND The MAN WAS ONLY LIKE 20 SOMETHING

[LifeInPink]

He says “I’m different” (while attracted to a child). I was like “oh sure you are, there is even a name for what your are mister”. Poor Violet.

[willdrucker]

soon after this, mom threw her into The Blue Lagoon....this kid never had a childhood   sad

[dimplebaby]

why was this even legal how old was she

[Zetarrino]

If it makes anyone feel better she was actually 11 when they filmed it.
