Word. That "It's showbiz so it's different" mindset is what has allowed Hollywood predators to take advantage of young talent for decades. They convince children that they are allowed to act like adults, as if being in showbiz makes you older than what you are, and that makes it easier to introduce adult shyt to them. And what kid is going to buck at being treated like an adult? Especially by people they look up to and idolize. They're going to follow the adults lead and try to 'act' grownup.
Go read the Roman Polanski abuse case. That entire thing was predicated on the guise of a child sipping wine and doing drugs with an adult being normal for celebrities and people in showbiz. And unfortunately, the parents are also manipulated into thinking their kids rubbing shoulders with adult celebrities is just networking, so shyt that would normally look creepy, like an adult taking a teenager to dinner suddenly looks okay because, hey, showbiz is different right? Maybe they are just discussing business opportunities. And that is exactly what predators rely on.
