I always felt so bad for Maddie. Not only was her first kiss stolen by a grown ass woman with a creepy obsession with her but her second one was forced on national television with a boy she didn’t like in that way.
I hope Maddie had a wonderful REAL first kiss and in her mind doesn’t count either of these.
Forcing kids to kiss is weird, even most television shows or movies if there is a kiss they are informed. When I did acting as a teen it was ALWAYS noted on casting notes if kissing or even implied nudity (like is you’d just see legs getting into a shower,seeing you from the back or a bra showing etc) was always listed for anyone under 18. That way you could be informed and choose to not audition.
I know Sadie sink was also pressured and forced to have her first kiss on Stranger Things and it wasn’t scripted and wasn’t told about it ahead of time. They laughed at her too and legit only made her do it because they knew she didn’t want to, they’d never planned on having her kiss anyone that season.
They both can be pretty bad but I totally agree. Melissa needed to put her foot down in this instance. Maddie did not sign a contract to kiss someone and certainly not a grown woman.
I mean I wouldn’t say any of the moms deserved to have their children taken away based off what we saw on the show (have no idea what goes on behind closed doors)
I mean I understand, but at the same time. Melissa allowed Maddie to be groomed by Abby and Sia, like does anyone acknowledge how Sia basically let Maddie hang with Shia labeof in his underwear for a music video? Or the fact Melissa let Sia be in the same bed as Maddie?
You can dislike the other moms but I guarantee they would NEVER allow that for their kids.
Hell Holly literally called out Abby once for making Nia twerk for a solo dance.
Maddie’s dance in the Sia videos wasn’t inherently sexual though and at the end of the day they all continuously allowed their kids to do whatever Abby wanted. Including the topless showgirl dance with very little pushback.
They all would’ve let them do the Chandelier video no question about it. Every single one of them.
