Was NOT abused as a minor in Hollywood!

Article doesn't say what movie. I know Ellen only worked in Canada until she was 18 (2005), most notably in Trailer Park Boys.

I think they are are refering to Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story (2003), a US production shot in Halifax Canada when she was 16. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338109/

> Based on a true story. Liz Murray is a young girl who is taken care of by her loving, but drug-addicted parents. Liz becomes homeless at 15 and after a tragedy comes upon her, she begins her work to finish high school.

Hard Candy and Mouth to Mouth are more adult and filmed in the US, but she was 18 then.

"filming of Hard Candy when he was 17"

Age of consent in Canada is 16. She could have gone to the police, it was sexual assault regardless of age. If they didn't charge him, newspapers would print her story and he would be unemployable. She would still find work in Canada.

Whole article is unreadable because they refer to a young women as "he".

That's the funniest part. She auditioned as a woman. They cast her as a woman. They needed a female role and that's the role she played. Attempting to rewrite history is sad and silly

Ok so it aligns with the theory that she is a liar who says and does things for attention. There was abuse, but surprisingly this time it was not Hollywood and was most likely her parents or a family member when she was young.
