15 Celebrities Who Had The Worst Parents In The Entire History Of Hollywood

Hollywood has seen extreme cruelty from parents to their kids. A netizen asked, "Who are the worst stage parents in Hollywood?" Here are the top responses!

JEANETTE MACCURDY

“This one lives in my head. So much so that I actually can’t make myself rewatch any iCarly at all because I can’t put aside knowing how miserable she was the whole time.” 

LINDSAY LOHAN

"Lindsay Lohan's parents were awful" one said. "Her dad was a jerk, and her mom seemed to prefer being a drinking buddy than a mom," another added.

JOE JACKSON

"Can't listen to Jackson Five or Michael due to their abuse history. Despite Michael's trauma and abusive background, he holds responsibility. Yet, it's hard not to blame Joe for initiating this cycle."

DREW BARRYMORE

"Drew Barrymore's mom took her to nightclubs and encouraged drug use at 9," said one. "Her family should have protected her. But she's doing better now. I'm a big fan," another added.

JUDY GARLAND

“Judy Garland’s mother. Pretty much every single adult in her life failed her.” 

RIVER AND JOAQUIN PHOENIX

Phoenix's parents, part of the Children of God cult, made their kids busk for cash. Once realizing their acting talent, they left the cult, leaving behind a childhood of poor supervision and frequent abuse.

BROOKE SHIELDS

"I won't be put off reading about Brooke Shields' difficult childhood under her mother's relentless pressure."

AMY WINEHOUSE

"Mitch Winehouse exploits Amy even after death, says one. Including displaying ripped-out pages from her teenage diary at an exhibition in London, adds another."

JACKIE COOGAN

"Jackie Coogan, an early child star, lost his fortune to greedy parents. His lawsuit led California to establish the Child Actor’s Bill, or the Coogan Law."

JUNE

"It's shocking. Can't comprehend June's choices. Used to find their show shocking yet entertaining. Never thought Pumpkin would be so responsible. Good on her."

WIL WHEATON

“Wil Wheaton has some horror stories about his parents, and they have been estranged for decades. He has said his life paralleled his character in Stand By Me.” 

DOVE CAMERON

“Dove Cameron. Paying for your kid to get surgeries at 14 or 15 and then writing a stage parent book is so gross.” 

KIT CULKIN

“Kit Culkin is the most notorious; he was the most powerful.”

COURTNEY STODDEN

“It breaks my heart that this child was exploited by some dirty old man just so her parents could be famous.” 

RITE HAYWORTH

“Rite Hayworth’s father used to abuse her and strictly force her to learn how to dance and was also accused of abusing her.”
