I suppose that could be true for a 12 year old at the time. I would hope as a mature adult she would have reflected on it and gained the courage to speak about the evil rather than laugh about it. Larry King, who was not personally involved in her situation also laughed about it. He is trained to maintain his emotions, no matter the subject, and its one of the reasons he was a good interviewer. He laughed too. The mom also appeared to have laughed off that she was taken by surprise sexually, and as a mother, she missed a moment to show leadership to her daughter.
In the end, the fame and money was worth it to both of them to deal with sexual advances. That may be the case for most in Hollywood. The predators know it. People sell their souls for fame and fortune far too often and for far too little.
They both seemed to think this was really funny. To me, that's just as disgusting as the acts that occurred.
i think for her it was part cognitive dissonance. some things are to tragic to fully comprehend.
easy for us here and now not being a participant.
but finally it is wholly and completely repulsive.

All just my personal opinion.
Reading this makes me cry. This world is evil, but we can make it beautiful in God's image. Jesus Christ forgive us.
