You guys, welcome to another episode of Beyond the Blinds.

It is me, Troy McKity.

And Kelly Williams.

And this week's episode is going to be, I think we should just do a trigger warning like from the very start.

Yeah, absolutely.

Like a second can't go by without us warning you that this is going to be probably our darkest episode of the whole of this entire podcast.

But the interesting thing about this episode is that most of it where normally we're alleging a lot of stuff and reading blind items that are gossip.

None of this stuff is really gossip. I'm mostly just reading arrests and police stings and court documents and stuff like that. So yeah, I'm a little nervous. I'm not going to lie.

Yeah, this episode originally we wanted to do the Leonardo DiCaprio part two because a lot of people have been asking about it.

And I mentioned it to Troy and this is Troy's episode. I am not, you know, I am just sitting back and if I have to read something I will.

But Troy did all this research, put the puzzle pieces together. So I have to give this one up to you Troy.

Yeah, I'm excited. I'm not I don't know if excited is the word I would use, but I am I guess I'm excited for people to know these people's names.

Yeah, and I almost feel like maybe eventually this could be a public episode because I don't want to use the word groundbreaking, but I feel like it's a groundbreaking episode.

This episode is going to be a big deal. And like Kelly said, I know that this was like intended to be just like a big Leo blinds episode, but you can't really talk about Leo's childhood without talking about this list of people.

And you can't talk about any 80s child star really without talking about this list of people.

This episode at this point is like much bigger than Leo. I don't know what we're going to title it, but like this is way bigger than just Leonardo DiCaprio at this point.

And again, as you guys can imagine, we are talking about young actors, so the trigger warnings are there.

It's very dark. And this is one of those episodes where you're like, I'm going to need to shower immediately after.

Yeah, and I did pull some blinds. So I will say that, you know, from this point on, some of the things that we're going to be saying are alleged and some of them, like I said, are just court documents and arrest, arrest documents and direct quotes from people.

Yeah, we're basically going to be going down a list of names of people who were either directly involved in Leonardo DiCaprio's life as a kid or passively involved in his life.

But Leo, unfortunately, and this is like the same for so many 80s child stars, like was surrounded by predators. His manager was a sex offender, his publicist was a sex offender, his photographer was a sex offender, like he was thrown to the wolves as a kid.

Now, do you know if his parents were super involved or were they kind of hands off.
