Inside Fatherhood

Horrid Hollywood Parents

by Bill on October 7th, 2007

I’ve mentioned how Kevin Federline is the more sane of his kids’ two parents (versus Britney Spears) and how Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are looking to expand their village with yet another child. While these instances cause some disbelieving head shakes, this list of 8 horrid Hollywood parents will make you realize what bad caregivers some actors and actresses make. It’s got a relatively good historical outlook with inclusions like the abusive Bing Crosby and up to more recent parenting disasters like Courtney Love.

The write up on Love, for example, reads:

The offence: shooting heroin while she was pregnant.

The nasty details: In 1992, Vanity Fair reported that Courtney Love was using heroin while she was carrying her daughter Francis Bean. Whaaaa?

Crummy mummy legacy: The troubled Love denied this 1992 story, claiming that she went cold turkey before conceiving her baby girl. Poor, poor, drug-addled Courtney. Sad though it has been to watch this train wreck of a celeb come undone, knowingly frying your brain while you are pregnant gives new meaning to the expression “dumb blonde.”

One thing I love about this list is that it also includes terrible moms and dads from movies. On the list, Mrs. Bates from Psycho and Jack Torrence from The Shining. I only wish an actor/actress and one of their characters made both the real life and movie list.

Any suggestions that fit the criteria?
