We watched Cheer until the “Jerry Episode”.
On one hand, it is crazy how can you fall from grace so quickly: from speaking with the US President and hugging with Brad Pitt, to spending up to 50 years in jail.
On the other hand, it isn’t the first teen celebrity that couldn’t handle the fame. Most of them end up overdosing. At least Jerry is still alive. Still.
A couple of things bothered me in the episode, though.
Mother checking her son’s phone “not on a regular basis”? But well, maybe this ended up for the best, I dunno.
Then their lawyer said that Jessica, Cheer manager (I guess that’s her official title, she isn’t their Mother, right?), “didn’t apologise using the correct and approved words”.
And finally, the fact that the mother report abuse multiple times, and all the bodies ignored it, until she reported it to the FBI (and apparently also went to the press, although that was kind of glossed over).
Like all those compliance organizations, are we going to investigate what exactly are they doing (nothing) or nah?
