I’m Glad My Mom Died.

Honey Boy

Sarah Lynn in Bojack Horseman.

Good examples of what you’re talking about. Honey Boy is the one to watch out of the 3. It’s about Shi’a’s life growing up and being on Even Stevens

Yeah, except Shia later came out and said he made all the abuse he endured up to make a better movie. Still proves the point of unstable child actor though

Shia's father was in prison for rape. He was also kicked from multiple sets when Shia was a kid for inapporpiate and threatening behaviour. Even the way he denied the abuse it was him saying "I never hit Shia in the face." He's a ceritifed piece of shit and i have no doubt he was abusive.

It just seems they've recently reconnected, so Shia started to deny it because the movie wasn't an autobiographical portrayal of his life.

Oof, makes sense I suppose that Shias personal account has changed over time since trauma and abuse are so complicated/multi faceted. Agreed, his dad sounds like a POS

Got I'm Glad My Mom Died on audible with one of my credits. Enjoyed listening to that on a flight. I'd give her next book a chance if she's going to write more, interested to see if it's still good when it's not an autobiography.

I read I’m glad my mom died over two weeks. And after reading it, I think I’m done with rewatching Dan’s shows. >!When the mom put her daughter on blast on a Jennette McCurdy fan site for her secret relationship with “Joe” when she was in Hawaii I went from hating her to seeing red!< Really good book.
