Is Wil Wheaton the one that there was abuse controversy about or am I confusing people

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 week ago

He was abused by his parents for basically his entire childhood and parts of his adult life, and I'm pretty sure is now no-contact with them. The tng cast became his real family, it's quite lovely.

Maybe Joss Whedon?

[–] spacegoat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Yeah that was it, thank you

I don't think so,maybe you're confusing Wheaton for his college roommate, Chris Hardwick?
