Rising starlet Dakota Fanning has just finished filming a key scene for Hounddog, a film, which according to Cinematical, concerns “ a young girl who turns to Elvis for inspiration after suffering through a tremendous amount of abuse.” The nature of this scene? A full-on child rape. And you want to know the worst part? Her mother and agent wanted the twelve year old to take the role because it has “Oscar written all over it.” Now that’s some seriously fucked up Jean Benet Ramsey style parenting there. Why the hell would anyone want to subject their child to something even remotely close to that? Does she not know that as a parent she’s supposed to look out for her daughter’s mental and physical well being? Give the little girl a chance to grow up! She already acts like a little cyborg! But I guess money wins out over everything these days. If Oscar doesn’t recognize Dakota’s performance, at least her mother can rest assured her daughter will be immortalized in a lifetime worth of VH1 Specials ten years from now. Ms. Fanning, you’re a despicable human being.
yeah heard about this a few weeks back. definitely disturbing. i have no doubt that this girl is mature enough to understand the subject matter (she freaks me out anyways), however the ‘rape scene = oscar’ is just flawled logic fueled by greed.
shame.
Fucked up?
yes.
Surprising?
not really.
