I read her biography and that's true, her mother did offer her up to old men to benefit her career.

She was a child.

My understanding is that she was 16, which is the age of consent in most of the country.

Did she herself see the affair as "predation" in retrospect, or as a good career move?

After the Duke Lacrosse case I think I'll wait to see how this washes out before I presuming anything. I'm certainly not going to say it's true because 'zomg, it's Hollywood! A cesspit. It must be true.'

What is truly sad about many of these young stars is that many of their parents are complicit in their exploitation.
