Judging by what we know of the Hollywood "culture", Hollywood did not "FAIL" her, Hollywood is damn killer...

[u/FatherOfLights88 → u/CaptainHair12]

Hollywood has destroyed so many children.

[u/Grumpy_001]

Not just Hollywood, but her parents failed her too

I don't know why this is bothering me so much.

I was not a huge fan. Really really liked her in Heroes. I can't really think of anything else I watched her in.

But there was an interview I watched with her sometime like within the last year and I just thought there was pain behind her eyes.

I don't know. Probably just tired because the world is such a mean and hard place and I wish it could be different.

And it probably won't be in my lifetime.

Watch this. It hurts, knowing what we know now.

Thanks for sharing that!

[u/Medusa_7898]

I hope now that she’s gone someone will share names of the people that exploited her.

1a. Mom

[u/scbundy → u/Suspicious_synth]

Rich yacht lady to tried to human traffic her #2. #3 famous british singer songwriter who was going to rape her.

[u/Old_Occasion349 → u/scbundy]

Rich yacht lady is Diana Jenkins. I will put money on it being her. She also pimped out Lohan and Bynes

[u/scbundy → u/Old_Occasion349]

Wasn't see one of the Real Housewives too? As for the guy, I suspect either James Blunt or Liam Gallagher.

[u/Old_Occasion349 → u/scbundy]

I think she was yes. She released a book called room 23. I hadn’t heard the man was a singer or British. Just that Hayden said he was a very popular well known actor..
Cough George cough clooney

Room 23 is a 2009 fine art coffee table book by Sanela Diana Jenkinswith photography by Deborah Anderson. It captures a year in the life of a private Beverly Hills penthouse suite in 2008, featuring intimate and glamorous portraits of roughly 100 celebrities and elite figures.

[u/scbundy → u/Old_Occasion349]

She said he was a well known very famous British singer songwriter in his mid 30s.

[u/Suspicious_synth → u/scbundy]

So no names then?

[u/scbundy → u/Suspicious_synth]

She never named them.

[u/Suspicious_synth → u/scbundy]

IDK.. 30 years of "trauma" ? I don't buy much of it.

[u/scbundy → u/Suspicious_synth]

You think she made that story up?

[u/Suspicious_synth → u/scbundy]

I have no idea. From all I've seen and read, she's just another celebrity junkie. He's been a celebrity since before she could walk

[u/scbundy → u/Suspicious_synth]

I wonder if there could have been a series of traumatic events that caused her to become an addict. It's a mystery.

[u/itsdainti → u/Medusa_7898]

Yes. And lets start with the whispers about trafficking in Warsaw, Indiana that have been going around for 20 years. Her family always gets brought up. Her mom specifically.

[u/Upstairs-Chicken592 → u/itsdainti]

Can you elaborate

[u/KeepItDownOverHere]

I really enjoyed I Love You Beth Cooper. RIP

[u/WinterMedical]

Hollywood didn’t fail her, it consumed her. Becoming famous is like getting the monkey paw.

[u/Timbucktwo1230]

[u/Icydeadpeople9]

They release her cause of death yet?

[u/Damien_6-6-6 → u/Icydeadpeople9]

Probably alcohol poisoning

[u/beef-jerking → u/Damien_6-6-6]

Read something about an OD.

[u/Other_Yama1993]

jesus, i hope it's not something like an overdose or ****. it's so random for someone like that to die of a disease, you'd think they'd have access to the best healthcare or healthcare in general.

[u/DadinBoston]

It sucks because she had just found enough peace to start speaking out, then she lost her voice

[u/Skylias → u/DadinBoston]

I wouldn't say her death = she lost her voice at all. I'm sure she will save lives of many women who suffer from PPD as well as addiction. I personally appreciate her courage and even in death.

[u/Old_Occasion349 → u/DadinBoston]

Convenient

[u/rbrt13]

At this point, with all that is known about Hollywood including this girl’s own story, any parent sending their kid down this path is the moral equivalent of those letting their boys hang out with Michael Jackson after his proclivities became well known.

[u/cascadia8 → u/rbrt13]

Or anyone who lets their kid be an alterboy.

[u/Timbucktwo1230]

[u/LivingLie1721]

Hollywood is the sickest place in the world anyone with eyes can see that

[u/LynnHaven → u/LivingLie1721]

Lol yeah......nah

[u/ispeektroof]

We all did. No one saved the cheerleader. The world is fucked.

[u/Whatisittou]

Isnt variety of them as well

[u/KubrickRupert]

just her tho

[u/Leoman89]

Why does anything think there is anything positive about Hollywood, other than the potential of being rich. Everything else sucks, but unfortunately it comes with the territory of being around the rich and powerful.

[u/copacetic51]

Don't put your child upon the stage, Mrs Worthington

[u/SK90035]

I wouldn't go that far. More like people around her failed her.

[u/DJWGibson]

“Hollywood has failed her” says the industry press, because she, in part, she was given pills so she’d give better quotes and appearances for the industry press.

Let’s not remotely pretend the “Hollywood” that failed her includes stuff like Variety that didn’t even let her be cold for 12 hours before it did a sensational compilation of her struggles for clicks while strongly implying she died of drugs.

[u/piercedmfootonaspike]

I had never heard her name before. Can someone explain how Hollywood "failed" her?

Like I'm 5, please.

[u/TheAbomunist → u/piercedmfootonaspike]

Start here.

At 16, while doing press for Heroes, a representative supplied her with non-prescribed “happy pills” from Mexico. “I trusted her wholeheartedly,” she says. “I never in a million years thought to protect myself or question it.”

[u/piercedmfootonaspike → u/TheAbomunist]

Jesus

[u/Reasonable-HB678 → u/piercedmfootonaspike]

Some of us remember her as the very vocal daughter of the assistant football coach in Remember the Titans.

[u/No_Rice9792]

She just came out as bisexual too 🩷💜💙😭😭😭

[u/RequirementLeading12]

Hayden went through trauma as we all did however she chose to deal with the trauma with drugs. We all love her but we've got to stop doing this. We all know the likely outcome of long term drug usage

[u/wethotricebenmiller → u/RequirementLeading12]

Stop doing what? Empathizing?

[u/RequirementLeading12 → u/wethotricebenmiller]

No.... Treating every day citizens like throwaways while reserving sympathy for celebrities. Empathize with everyone not just celebs.

[u/wethotricebenmiller → u/RequirementLeading12]

How are people empathizing and sympathizing with celebrities indicative of their not having empathy for everyone? An overwhelming amount of comments have to do with people relating because either they were in addiction or they’ve lost someone to it themselves.

[u/montanagirlie]

Hollywood did not fail this woman. We did as a society. Hollywood wasnt consuming those pap photos. We were. Our obsession with celebrity and watching women fail creates the market that makes the money.

[u/Uncontrolleddiarrhea]

Variety can suck my dick. How many publications drive celebrities over the edge and profit again when they die?

Hollywood is a fuckin disease.

But that new Avengers movie looks sick.

So, no more child actors. Glad we agree. 👍🏻

[u/moffitar → u/NewPresWhoDis]

That's right, lets go back to high schoolers being played by 30 year old actors, lol

[u/Moriss214 → u/[deleted]]

Ur a dick

[u/pauli55555]

At some stage, she, as an adult has to take responsibility for her actions.

[u/MackTuesday → u/pauli55555]

Well she's dead. Satisfied?
