45 Former Child Stars Are Calling Out Hollywood for the Way They Were Treated

Growing up as a child star in Hollywood is not as easy as it looks. Constant pressure, media intrusion, and unhealthy expectations can sometimes make Hollywood quite an unhealthy place. Over the years, many child stars have come out with their experiences in Hollywood, where the industry treated them very poorly. From Miley Cyrus to Mark-Paul Gosselaar, let’s look at these former child stars who have plenty to say when it comes to how badly Hollywood treated them during their prime.

Miley Cyrus

Even though Miley Cyrus is more active as a singer nowadays, no one can forget her as Hannah Montana. She was and still is our favorite pop star! Even though she seems to have the "best of both worlds" on the show, the truth is she didn't have it that easy in real life.

Hollywood didn't go easy on her as a child actor. It was drilled into her head that she was worth nothing without the Hannah Montana wig! This ultimately made her feel a lot of unnecessary pressure.
