Pretty sad when you consider that

It got so creepy, because she was just a kid. And there was some indication Brandon wasn't treating her that well, and got her into a scene she certainly wasn't prepared for, and like...no one cared.

Which sucks

He was older than her, too.

How much older?

He's about six years older than she is IIRC (I think he's close to 40 now). However, he met her when she was 17, so that's definitely on the creepy side.

It certainly is

And she wasn't used to LA at the time, she'd lived in NYC most of her life.

Sure there is a big difference

I think there is truly a world of difference. One that she maybe wasn't prepared for.

Wouldn't surprise me at all

And Brandon was...not a good introduction into that world, and I think it took her years to recover.

Not surprised about that

I'm not even sure she ever DID fully recover.

Me neither
