The Dark Side Of Child Stardom & Diddy's Verdict Is In

On today’s show, we’re covering the verdict in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trial. The hip-hop mogul was convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, while being acquitted of more severe charges like sex trafficking and racketeering. Plus, Jennette McCurdy’s bestselling memoir I’m Glad My Mom Died is being adapted into a new series with Jennifer Aniston set to play the role of her controlling mother. McCurdy herself is co-writing and producing the series, which promises to delve deep into the dark side of child stardom. And speaking of child stars, we’re taking a deep dive into the world of young fame, exploring the journeys of those who navigated the spotlight successfully and those who faced significant challenges. From the pressures of early fame to the support systems (or lack thereof) that can make or break a young actor, we’ll discuss the factors that influence these trajectories.
