“I hope you guys all made as much money as you possibly could because there’s no more coming from me.” As a Celebrity Reporter, I cover everything from fashion and award shows to TV, film, and cultural conversations. This article details allegations of child abuse. After the news of her daughter’s death broke, Lesley told NBC, “I think Hayden was an amazingly talented person in so many departments and I think young people who grow up in the entertainment industry — it is a struggle and it's a very challenging industry and it's not unusual for them to sadly find the wrong path.” Just last year, Macaulay confirmed that he hasn’t seen or spoken to his dad in more than 30 years, adding, “He deserves it… He’s a man who had seven kids, and he has four grandkids, and none of them want anything to do with him. As a man myself, I would know that I fucked up, I really must have done something wrong… I have more than an inkling that he does not feel that way. Like, we're wrong, and he's right — he's one of those kind of, like, narcissistic, crazy people.” “When I watch Stand by Me now, I cannot ignore the unbelievable sadness in my eyes. And I cannot ignore the reality that it was that sadness, that isolation, that I think gave me what Gordie needed to come to life,” Wil added. Taylor later clarified that she loved her parents, noting that they felt “horrible” after reading her interview. “I love my mom and dad. Maybe I didn't have the childhood people think you should have, but I still went through the ages. I was still a child. Maybe it wasn't a conventional one, but you know… I like where I am now, so it's OK,” she said.
