two hundred on a 1 million dollar life insurance policy for his son which he named himself the sole benefactor of sounds a little fishy right angers attorney tried to settle with the actors father out

was mostly raised by her grandmother after her mother gave birth to her in a halfway house her ex-con mom was serving a federal sentence for a substance smuggling charge when Meester was born after her mother finished her sentence she had high hopes for her beautiful daughter when Meester was 10 she became a model and moved from Florida to NYC with her mom the pair ended up in Los Angeles when the actress was 14 acting as her manager Meester's mother took her to auditions and acting classes until it finally paid off then as the actress started making more money she would send some to her mother to help take care of her sick brother eventually Meester cut her mother off but she was still sending money for her brother's medical bills then in 2011 the actors filed a lawsuit against her mother Meester found out her mother was using the monthly checks for plastic surgery and other things that weren't for her brother of course her mother denied any wrongdoings and filed a counterclaim for 3 million dollars the greedy mom also said she would drop the lawsuit if Meester raised her monthly checks from 7,500 to $10,000 needless to say the two aren't on the best terms these days amanda

little did they know that by 1999 she would end up with her own TV show on Nickelodeon though the child stars seemed to have her life together in 2011 everything came to a crashing halt in her late teens her family dynamic was completely thrown off and Bynes even sought to emancipate herself from her parents apparently her parents were very controlling to the point that her father was call all the shots for her and her career she eventually withdrew the petition to legally separate from her parents during that time she was relying heavily on her Nickelodeon producer and his wife for moral support then by 2010 she announced she was ending her acting career and she started her public meltdown the actress made things worse by lashing out against her dad in 2014 with a disturbing Twitter rant vines claimed that her father physically and verbally abused her growing up she later deleted the tweets stating that a microchip the father put in her brain caused her to say those things after the rant Bynes was placed in psychiatric care thankfully she has cleared the air about her dad and she is doing much better these days she is sober and looking forward to getting back into acting Jena Malone so Jena Malone's mother didn't have a lot of money when she was younger it didn't stop her from helping her daughter pursue her dream then when she was 9 years old the child star impressed audiences with an incredible performance in a Showtime movie and the rest was history soon after the dazzling performance Jena Malone became the it girl of the late 90s child star world but it came at a hefty price by the time the actress was 14 she realized that her mother had squandered a good portion of her money Malone accused her mother of stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars for bad investments and loans to family members because of this the teen filed to become a legal adult and separate herself from her mother's care a Los Angeles Court ruled in favor of the star and at the age of 15 Malone was on her own she moved out and eventually got her own apartment in Hollywood she admitted that it was a hard time in her life and she had to grow up quickly thankfully The Hunger Games stars mother eventually admitted her wrongdoing she claimed that she was taking advice from the wrong people who didn't have her best interest at heart though they may have a rocky past Malone has forgiven her mother and the two have mended their ties Aaron Carter no one can blame Aaron Carter for riding on the coattails of his Backstreet Boy brother Nick ticking cue from his older sibling Carter got into the music business and signed his mother and father as his co managers after a world tour and months of performing when the singer came back home from Florida he realized the numbers were off in his bank account according to the singer and his father his mother had stolen over $100,000 from right under him this obviously didn't sit well with the teen star who took matters into his own hands and fired his mother he even took her to court and requested a legal separation from the parent so that he could cut all ties with her completely later interviews with the singer's mom revealed that she blamed her ex-husband Carter's dad for everything that went down she claims the two were going through a divorce and her ex-husband convinced the child star that his mother was stealing from him sadly that wasn't enough to repair her public image or the family the mother of five is now estranged from four of her children and even tried to launch the career of her youngest daughter to no avail though more recently Aaron Carter is making headlines for negative reasons we are pretty sure he's happy to have his mooching mom out of his life Taylor Momsen when she was just 2 years old taylor momsen 'he's parents signed a contract for their daughter to be modeled with Ford models since then the ex Gossip Girls star doesn't remember a time when she wasn't working well most kids get to go to school and live a normal life Momsen did the complete opposite she was in and out of school she didn't have any friends and she had no time to be a kid so when fans started seeing a shift in her attitude they wondered what the problem was the star admitted that she blamed her parents for pushing her into stardom at an early age she claimed that no two-year-old wants to work but she had no choice this led the star to rebel from her parents in the long run when the actress turned singer was 16 she graduated from high school two years early under a law in New York she was legally able to become an adult meaning she stripped her parents of any rights they had over her with her newfound freedom she could tour the world with her rock band without any supervision of her parents she did eventually apologize to her family for the unkind statements thankfully Monson still has the full love and support of her parents for the artistic change in her career Macaulay Culkin in the early 90s Macaulay Culkin was easily the most bankable child star on the planet thanks to his roles in movies like my girl and home alone the actor acquired a pretty hefty fortune before he even entered high school during his years in the spotlight his father Kitt's Culkin made a reputation for himself in the entertainment industry according to Hollywood sources Kitsch wasn't the most pleasant stage parent to have around it wasn't long until the child star was able to cut ties with his abusive father in 1995 Culkin's personal life took a partial turn for the worse when his parents decided to separate the problem was both of his parents were acting as his managers so not only did they have to split the relationship but they also had to break their contract as co managers because of this Culkin's parents went to court to battle out who got custody of the child star in his career the custody battle got so heated that Culkin's attorneys threatened to file for emancipation from his parents eventually his father relented and gave custody of Culkin and his siblings to his mother the last time the now-retired actor has seen his father was in 1996 apparently they don't even consider themselves related to each other anymore considering they haven't spoken in over 20 years Culkin has spent more time apart from his father than they ever spent together drew Barrymore actress
