Yeah, she just released a memoir...

Started "acting" at 1 year old, and her parents were giving her "happy pills" before she was a teen for interviews, auditions, and any other time she wasn't "happy" enough.

Obviously she had issues as an adult, but so would everyone else.

If you take showbiz out of the equation, it's just child abuse. But too many people tell themselves it's worth it for the fame, ignoring how many kids go thru this and never get a single role.

Social media makes it a lot worse, because there's zero oversight
