AGT’s Jackie Evancho Reveals Hollywood Pedophiles ‘Wanted to Hurt Me’ as Childhood Star

[Jackie] Evancho wrote that “entering adulthood as a 18 year old moving to New York, I felt the need to put this out into the universe as a way of continuing the healing process I’m on. I no longer have the fear to stay silent.” . . .

She recently returned to compete on “America’s Got Talent: The Champions” and wrote on Facebook “there are a lot of aspects that aren’t so glamorous about being a child in the music industry but there’s a lot that I’m thankful for and would never change.” . . .

“Throughout my childhood I was also facing another reality – that there were men out there who wanted to hurt me,” she said. “Some even went to the extreme of claiming they were priests and other disarming occupations to gain trust and easy access backstage, but clearly their intentions weren’t so pure.”

Evancho also said her family had the additional worry of potential stalkers “and other dangers of being in the spotlight that my family and I had to deal with.” (Read more from “AGT’s Jackie Evancho Reveals Hollywood Pedophiles ‘Wanted to Hurt Me’ as Childhood Star” HERE)
