    Response to QUIET ON SET: THE DARK SIDE OF KIDS TV

    EXCLUSIVE REACTIONS: Mayim, Jenna von Oy, and Christy Carlson Romano dive deep into the explosive QUIET ON SET documentary, from the heartbreaking abuse exposed by some of their peers, to their own firsthand accounts of the pressures they faced as child actors.   Mayim, Christy, and Jenna reflect on how the model for kids’ tv made child actors particularly vulnerable, the dangers of children working in the high pressure entertainment industry, the trauma-bonding nature watching the doc has had for their peer community, whether the system can truly be reformed, and ways to effectively pivot the conversation from sensationalistic gossip to promoting real change in the industry.   Christy reveals why she has currently chosen NOT to watch the documentary, breaks down her reservations about the exploitative nature of "trauma tourists," and explains more about the important advocacy work organizations like the Looking Ahead program (@alifeinthearts) are doing to connect child actors and their families with essential resources.   THEY ALSO DISCUSS:  - The dangers of dangling fame in front of child actors - The role parents have to play, even if a studio tries to remove them - The importance of teaching children to use their voices - The crucial need for female representation and trauma-informed care in the entertainment industry   This episode is a must-listen, from revealing the dark side of how the entertainment millions love was actually made, to the exploration of what we can all do to ensure the safety of children everywhere.    Learn more about the Looking Ahead program: http://give.actorsfund.org/site/Calendar?id=101701&view=Detail Learn more about the Coogan Law: https://www.sagaftra.org/membership-benefits/young-performers/coogan-law BialikBreakdown.com YouTube.com/mayimbialik Learn more about your ad choices.

    Vulnerable EP06: Jerry Maguire Actor Jonathan Lipnicki Gets Vulnerable

    Today on Vulnerable, I sit down with the incredibly talented actor and producer Jonathan Lipnicki. You may remember him from films such as Jerry Maguire, Stuart Little, Little Vampire, and more. Jonathan gets SO real with me and Brendan (AKA My husband) about the struggles of growing up extremely famous and navigating becoming an adult. With the stereotype that follows child actors, Jonathan was very cautious not to make mistakes as a young adult. Now that he’s in his 30s, he reflects on how going to therapy, surrounding himself with positive and real friends, and becoming a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu have kept him grounded. Jonathan is passionate about allowing yourself to grow, and through this lens, he applies the tenets of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in everyday life and is working with a mental strength coach. Jonathan also details that he felt as if he wasn’t a good actor for a period in his life. He took acting classes and now feels more prepared to take on new roles. Jonathan also shares about his community activism due to the rise of antisemitic violence in LA. Jonathan and a community of like-minded individuals have been escorting families and individuals to the synagogue. Synagogue members have labeled them the Shabbat Angels. This episode highlights how you always have room to grow as a human being and help the people around you in your community. It is worth your time and effort.

On top of acting in iconic movies and tv shows, he is a very talented rapper and musician, streetwear clothing designer, gamer, influencer, and also host! Today Khleo spends his time creating content about the things he loves and is cultivating a community motivated to pursue their passions. Throughout this conversation with Khleo, I was in awe of Khleo’s groundedness and confidence. He knows who he is, what his talents are, and isn’t afraid to experiment with new ways to highlight his passions. He shares why he decided to stop producing music, how his family has kept him grounded, how he took months of studying Twitch before he launched his own channel and so much more. This episode will encourage you, inspire you, and possibly motivate you on taking the next steps to pursue your own passion and sharing it with others.

    VULNERABLE REWIND: Today on Vulnerable, I sit down with Kimberly J. Brown. Kimberly is an actress who started her career at just five years old. We grew up together in the industry, crossing paths at commercial auditions, on Broadway, and later in California during our Disney Channel days. So it was great to catch up with my friend! In this episode, Kimberly and I reflect on our experiences in NYC being child actors. Kimberly shares what it was like to be Young Cosette in Les Miserables and how she juggled being on Broadway and a regular on Guiding Light at the same time.  We also talk about being the first Disney Channel “stars” and what it was like to usher a new era for the Disney Channel in terms of entertainment that adults and kids today still enjoy! Kimberly shared how she navigated her education while acting and why she decided to go to college and study something entirely outside of “the arts.” Kimberly’s deep wisdom from growing up in the industry, has allowed her to really own her creative endeavors, from continuing her acting, to writing and producing sketches on her YouTube and social channels, to selling unique graphic tees on her Etsy shop, to traveling and interacting with fans at Cons. Kimberly has crafted a life she enjoys. She truly loves that her work can bring someone joy. PLUS, we even learn how unexpected love came into her life when she reconnected with her Halloweentown co-star. This episode highlights how you can design a life you love that will uplift all the talents that make you, you!  You can follow Kimberly @OfficialKJB on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. If you are a fan of custom artwork, graphic tees, and more, check out Kimberly’s Etsy shop CraftilyCreative.
