Line 155:
* [[The Beach Boys]] suffered through years of dreadful stage-fathering. [[wikipedia:Murry Wilson|Murry Wilson]], father of Brian, Carl and Dennis Wilson, was a mildly successful songwriter/producer who, for their first few years, acted as manager, producer, and publisher to the group. Among other questionable practices and decisions, he allegedly whacked Brian Wilson in the head with a 2x4, causing hearing damage. ''[http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:wifrxqqkldje Celebrities At Their Worst]'', a collection of, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|well, you know]], features a 10-minute outtake of the elder Wilson guilt-tripping his sons through a recording session for "Help Me, Rhonda".
* Mexican singer [[wikipedia:Luis Miguel|Luis Miguel]]'s father and manager, Luisito Rey. Guy was very bent into making his precocious kid a star, and you can argue he suceeded... only for Luis Miguel to dump him when he got of age just to scape his incredibly contolling ways.
* [[w:The Shaggs|The Shaggs]], a band comprised of three sisters, came into existence due to a prophecy their father believed that they would form a popular music group. As soon as they were old enough, he pulled them out of school and bought them instruments and lessons, and forced them into gigs and the studio from 1968 until his death in 1975. Despite his efforts, the band would go down in history as ''legendarily'' [[So Bad It's Good]].
* [[Taylor Momsen]] has [http://www.popeater.com/2010/11/12/taylor-momsen-childhood/ accused her parents] of being this. This may explain her transformation from a [[Gossip Girl|teen soap]] star to a raunchy, scantily-clad rock frontwoman [[Jail Bait|before she turned 18]].
* Pop girl group Destinee & Paris' mother is like this. The main reason they became Destinee & Paris was that their mother suffocated the previous members of their rock band (Ariel and then Sarah, who lasted less than half a year as the Clique Girlz) and they were forced into it after all the bad publicity. (Ariel went on to name her next band NMD—No More Drama—as a [[Take That]].) When the two were featured on the [[E!]] reality show ''The Dance Scene'', their mother continuously told everyone around them they weren't ready to perform on the night of the performance despite Laurieann Gibson (choreographer for [[Lady Gaga]]) saying they were great. Laurieann dropped them as clients not long after.
