Elijah Wood claims Hollywood is gripped by a Jimmy Savile style sex abuse scandal

[ForgoTheConsequence]

Elijah Wood claims Hollywood is in the grip of a child sexual abuse scandal similar to that of Jimmy Savile in the UK.

The 35-year-old said paedophiles were shielded by powerful figures in the film industry and claimed that the abuse was organised.

He said his mother protected him from abuse when he arrived in Hollywood at the age of eight and he didn’t attend the type of parties where such incidents occurred.

1. With so many

child stars growing up and addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, I wouldn't doubt it.

keep talking, Elijah

5. I think it was Corey Haim who mentioned it before he passed on.

I think Corey Feldman also mentioned it. People blew them both off, made jokes about how it was all probably Michael Jackson (because of Feldman), etc. One of them said it was a big shot, like a well known producer or something.

I kind of think it's true.

6. it is indeed true

4. Yup I've heard this for the last few years yet nothing gets done.

Mainly because alot of these companies own media news outlets.

7. There were articles in Florida newspapers years before the Catholic abuse scandal ever broke

nationwide and was finally addressed. God, is this world ever screwed up.

8. bump

This has been rumored for decades.

Most the rumors are about the show runner for those kid's shows, the guy Dan Schneider

But apparently there are the top hollywood people involved.

Remember in England, where it was all just rumours, people brushed it all too,
until the victims came forward after Saville's deat.

9. I have suspected this for a while given how much people in Hollywood defend Roman Polanski.

We make fun of the Right for accusing Hollywood of being full of debauchery and sexual perversion but it seems to me that such accusations are more correct than not.

10. you mean like the infamous

Whoopi statement that is wasn't "rape rape"?

11. Yep!
