It needn’t be a conspiracy for it to be harmful. I remember a creepy countdown timer for when they (and others) turned 18. The projection of that, and the pressure to retain their childhood traits for profitability, can fuck someone up.

Yeah, no, I totally agree that sexualization by the public when they were underage (even as adults) probably took a psychological toll, as it probably does on a lot of teen stars (and IIRC it was quite bad with Mary-Kate & Ashley).

That is a completely different statement from "they were most likely molested by some of Epstein's Hollywood buddies".

I don't think we even need to go that far. They were almost constantly making those direct to VHS movies and such they churned out in huge numbers, and I don't think it was easy on them. I'm convinced they were overworked as children.
