Female Celebrities Who Were Pressured To Get An Abortion In Hollywood
The release of the Netflix movie "Blonde" caused many people to be upset when a scene showed Marilyn Monroe getting a forced abortion. But these underground procedures really did happen in Hollywood, and many female celebrities had to abort their unborn babies against their own wishes.
In the early days of Hollywood, studios (like MGM) would force young starlets to work long hours in order to generate as much money as possible. Anything that would interfere with a celebrity's ability to work was often dealt with by their management team – including pregnancies. Most of these famous women were used as puppets who were often supervised and treated like objects. Marilyn Monroe wasn’t the only actress who was controlled by people. Other female stars also had to give up their bodily autonomy or authenticity for roles and money. And when you look at the dark history of Hollywood, you’ll find many horror stories of women who were allegedly forced to terminate their pregnancies. Here are some of them.
