Okay.

I'm so curious.

Something can't be going on and I don't know what it is.

Like, I have to know what's going on.

And if dad left, I'd say to mom, like, what just happened?

Yeah.

So this makes a little more sense because when I learned that you and mom moved to LA at 16, something precedes that.

You're at a pageant and you meet a manager and this again, and you say it in the book.

By most accounts, this is a dicey scenario, right?

So explain what happens at the pageant.

Scott?

That's crazy.

And he says, I think you could be in showbiz.

But this is a middle-aged man saying to a 15-year-old girl in a pageant, I think you'd be in showbiz.

Like alarm bells are normally going off.

I have a question.

If you're the baby of the family and you're blonde and cute, and then you go into pageants, do you start sensing your value is your cuteness?

And what does that do?

Have you explored that to be the object of such affection?

in that way and to be kind of getting told your values, this cuteness, how does that set your own self-esteem and identity?
