This three named A- list actress has her own truth and call her own story as she sees fits.

So, if she is still not ready to call out the alliterate former A list rocker specifically by name who likes to use drugs with the A+ list actor, who se.xually assaulted her and abused her, that is her choice.

However, if there are others she knows, which she says she knows and can identify as preying on children and just wants the spotlight on herself for knowing rather than for naming names, she might as well be that former A list teen star.

Alliterate former A list rocker : Marilyn Manson

Evan Rachel Wood Shares Theory of How Hollywood Abuse Proliferates in Showbiz Kids Doc

On Tuesday, HBO premiered Showbiz Kids, a documentary directed by Alex Winter (best known as Bill in the Bill & Ted movie franchise). Through a variety of interviews with entertainers who rose to prominence in their youth, including Milla Jovovich, Jada Pinkett Smith, Wil Wheaton, Cameron Boyce (who died last year as a result of his epilepsy), and Mara Wilson, the feature-length doc attempted to illustrate the wide-ranging effects that early fame can have on a person’s life.

While never less than arresting and handsomely assembled, Showbiz Kids wasn’t exactly a trove of new information for anyone who’s been paying attention to the havoc fame has wreaked on countless young recipients. For one thing, horror stories were glossed over. Interviewee Todd Bridges’s (Diff’rent Strokes) story about being molested by his publicist when he was 12 (and his father subsequently siding with his abuser) was blink-and-you’ll-miss-it brief, and the real tragedies/tragic figures (like Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Jackie Coogan, and Bridges’s co-star Dana Plato, who died of a drug overdose in 1999 at age 34) were often presented as a ticked-off laundry list of worst-case scenarios. Those who sat for interviews were sometimes rattled and seemingly traumatized by their time in the public eye, but their overall clarity and determination to survive cast a sunny sheen on a way of life that has been responsible for so much misery. Though not nearly as well made, Corey Feldman’s documentary from earlier this year, (My) Truth: The Rape of Two Coreys, I thought was a way more harrowing and raw account of the pitfalls of childhood celebrity and ultimately more effective.

Evan Rachel Wood said that at some point she learned that “pretty much all” young boys in Hollywood have been molested and recalled her distress at watching an unnamed pedophile win a Golden Globe (“I knew, not a lot of people know, but I know he’s molested boys in the industry”). She also offered this explanation as to how abuse proliferates in Hollywood:

“Any industry that has that much power and is that competitive, because after a while it starts to become, ‘Well, who can take the most abuse?’” she said. “Because somebody’s waiting in line to take your place, so you just start to allow yourself to be abused in some form or another. Every actor is guilty of that. They’re lying if they say they’re not because it’s just part of the deal at this point. And unfortunately, until things change, there’s always going to be somebody willing to take abuse and stay quiet.”

I think this efficiently elucidates just how insidious power can be, and without victim-blaming, the ridiculous extent to which it can be seductive.

Wood also talked about how uncomfortable she was with photoshoots as a child, and Jovovich talked about her early modeling days, during which she was “like this little Lolita,” she said.- Source
