This article was discovered after reading the article regarding a young actor in this show receiving negative criticism which is very concerning, this article creates even more concern over the show and its negative impacts to the young cast members. When reading this article it seemed unrealistic that this would be allowed to happen, making the embedded video of an interview seem more reliable. Soon into watching the video which was uncomfortable to view it was clear that the text which appeared unrealistic was entirely true, the directors blamed the young actress for the kiss she was clearly not comfortable with and described how he said it was in the script to her as a joke and due to her stressed reaction he felt they should carry it out. This is completely wrong in every sense of the word, if she was stressed due to this and it was never written in the script it should not have been carried out. When she detailed how stressful it was due to it being her first kiss and this moment being in front of the cast and crew, the directors then joked about it being in front of many more people when the viewers see it. Saying this after the young actress explained how uncomfortable she was is extremely disrespectful considering they were the ones that sprung this incident upon her, making the directors who are brothers appear very unethical and unprofessional. Her unease of the situation can be visually seen on her face and even in the interviewers expressions, this alongside other current articles highlights that the people with power in the industry completely abuse it and appear to keep getting away with it which is extremely unethical.
