180. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/17 **Her Time As A Tween**

PART ONE: On the second season of this very hit tween show that is no longer on the air from a tween network, this tween was brought in for an episode. She said that during the filming for the episode that the producer for the show would rub her shoulders and back all the time. Several times he reached down and groped her breasts. He said he loved what she was bringing to the role and that he was going to invite her back for a second episode. He did. It was during that second episode that he went beyond the massages and groping and he told her that he was having a hard time focusing because she was so sexy and that she needed to help him out. He cornered her in a trailer and made her touch him. She said that after less than 30 seconds he finished inside his pants. He then told her she did well. Later that day another producer said they didn't need her to work any longer and what they got from her for that episode was fine. More from her tomorrow.
PART TWO: Yesterday I introduced you to a former tween actress who was horribly abused while appearing on a tween show which aired on a tween network. She had one more story to share about her time on what was supposed to be the lead in a fairly big budget movie. Instead of being the lead though, her role was reduced to almost nothing. Why? The mother of the not even quite a tween actress who got the lead role not only offered up her daughter but also several other tweens she said she managed. Our actress has no idea what transpired or if there was anything that went on, but does know she had the role one day and nothing the next. She also saw with her own eyes the attention an actor and some producers and crew were giving specifically to the lead and these three other uncredited tween actresses who would normally have little to no interaction with those people. When she told her parents, they complained. Guess what happened? Our actress landed a decent sized role in a movie a couple of years later but it was financed by a family friend. Other than that she was blackballed. No matter how many auditions she went on, she didn't even get a callback. She retired well before she could even drive.
