But there has been somewhat of a happy ending to the tale of harassment and abuse against young female stars.

In recent years, through documentaries like This Is Paris and Framing Britney Spears, have allowed female celebrities to reclaim some of the damaging narratives around them. Those who were once dismissed as “troubled,” “airheads” and worse are finally getting some control over how they are portrayed.

Last year, Spears’ controversial conservatorship was ended following allegations of financial misconduct against her father, including the hiring of a private security firm to keep her and people close to her under surveillance. In the same year, Amanda Bynes’ nine-year-long conservatorship was also terminated when it was deemed that her condition had improved (she had previously been placed on psychiatric hold), and protection of the court is no longer necessary.

After criticising her portrayal in drama series Pam & Tommy, Pamela Anderson recently released her own moving and emotional documentary, Pamela, A Love Story.

Lohan has, happily, made a return to film in Falling For Christmas and an upcoming Netflix project which remains under wraps.
