  "account": "Keke Palmer and Raven-Symoné are criticizing Hollywood for neglecting child actors after they leave the industry. During an appearance on Raven’s podcast titled “Tea Time,” Palmer expressed her belief that Hollywood fails to support child entertainers once they age out. Palmer stated, “I don’t believe people go crazy. I don’t. I don’t believe it’s just like that. Child entertainers – you have to understand, people say, ‘You are a has-been.’ Your life hasn’t even begun. You’ve done all of this stuff, and you’ve created all you’ve done.” Raven, who was also a child star, agreed with Palmer, saying, “We get old. So, you’re saying that I’m only useful in this life when I’m younger and making you money and making you laugh? The rest of my life doesn’t matter to you?” This discussion follows the tragic death of Hayden Panettiere, a former child star who appeared in films like “Remember the Titans” and the NBC series “Heroes.” Panettiere’s death has reignited conversations about the lack of support for former child stars. Palmer sees an opportunity for improvement with the rise of content creators, hoping that more people will offer support as child stars grow up. She said, “Everybody’s online and being perceived like we were being perceived as kids, and you know, it was only a certain avenue you could go to be looked at publicly like that. Now you can be a YouTube family, and they could know you when you came out the womb. So more people are actually having the same experience that we’ve had in different scales, in different niches, or worldwide.” Palmer added, “I think it lets people say, ‘Well, hey, wait a minute. There’s something we’re not talking about here.’ I think that’s something we’ve had a lot of experience with.”",
