Stage Mom: Difference between revisions

* A bizarre version of this was the infamous case of ''Daddyoffive'', a [[YouTube]] channel where the parents [[Abusive Parents|did cruel and outright abusive "pranks" on their children]] and then uploaded the videos [["Just Joking" Justification|as "humoristic" ones]]. They monetized their videos, so by the time they were finally investigated and arrested they had made billion by exploiting their children distress.

* Some people have accused Lynn Johnston, author of ''[[For Better or For Worse]]'' of a variant of this trope, in the sense that while she didn't directly exploited her children the way this trope is traditionally expected, but by [[Write Who You Know|incorporating a distressingly high number of their real experiences (ranging from comical to humiliating events) in her work]] she subjected them to [[Muse Abuse]]. As a result, her children were often victims of bullying in school, and as they became older they grew apart from their mother.

* Stage parenting was believed to be the reason behind the tragic case of Peruvian model and entertainer Mónica Santa María. She was pushed into modeling at 7 years old by her mother, over her father objections, and by the time she became a teenager she was one of the most famous models of her country. In 1990, when she was 17, became one of the hostesses of the famous children show ''Nubeluz'', who soon became the biggest children show in Latin America. She was the most popular among the hostesses, and she stayed in the show until 1994, with a brief retirement of six months in 1993. Unfortunately, she also presented symptoms of bipolar disorder and has frequent bouts of depression that went untreated, which derivedresulted on her suicide in 1994 at the age of 21.
