Judy Garland's Husband Claims She Was Molested By Munchkins During 'Oz' Filming 

Exactly. It's saddening to think of how many wicked people inhabit the movie industry and have ruined innocent people like her and get away with it.

And i watched this as a kid now i feel sick to my stomach

C B yeah but it did ruin my child hood a little cause I likes this movie a lot back in the day and to see this now is sickening. Also Okay boomer

@@caitlin1301 true even one of the male actors from the tv show called IT got molested

@Don't Eat Animals .

gretchen ortner What elsem

Penne Noodles she had to starve herself to stay skinny, took pep and sleeping pills, and had 18 work days.

gretchen ortner I heard that they made her smoke 60 or 40 cigarettes a day.

+Mia ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ why would they make her do that?

EvenWeave It helps suppress hunger. They had her on drugs too so she would have the energy to work 18 hour days without dropping dead.

Huh funny it is

She became close friends with the actor who played the Scarecrow. So him also.

That's wrong; nobody "put her through hell." As much as it was possible to enjoy working under hot lights, long breaks and around special effects that didn't always work, Judy enjoyed her time on "Wizard" and learned a lot about her craft, and made some lifelong friendships.

@@aaronsarchive82 All of them.

@@MaskedMan66 Wait didn't they just say she was molested

littlepaperjellyfish Same. I hate that people think this is funny.

Kayden21 Pervert ass

littlepaperjellyfish yeah this was messed up how so many people cracked jokes about someone being abused.

It wasn't funny I just find it very unusual and plus short people really short people touching on a tall person 😐 its the internet. It's sad that it happened she didn't deserve it. It's just a really crazy situation.

Kyle Broflovski What did u just say?

I always wanted to kick their heads in for some reason even before learning about all of this horrible stuff

Bigot.

@@usualdosage7287 You mean all those horrible lies.

Yes god saves her from this monsters

That's so heartbreaking

How?

@@user-so3yw8tr1x uh, what? What do you mean by how?

Omg that is sad

Same

Cause if she failed a scene to much the director would smack her across the face

She was neither terrified nor abused by anyone involved in "Wizard." And yes, she was a brilliant actress. Well, just watch her other movies as well as "Wizard" and you'll see.

@@meslahhh9896 That only happened once, and only because they were running out of time. Fleming felt horrible about doing it, and Judy forgave him. End of story.

@@MaskedMan66 no she was abused by everyone except the wicked witch lady. You know nothing

Matthew Hubbs probably

No, one munchkin is left smh.

Matthew Hubbs so is judy

there's a few left I think

lpsemma1243 How many munchkins that molested her?

Okaaay!😏

RexyRex HD reality doesn't go away based on your awareness of it.

RexyRex HD same

RexyRex HD hahahhaha i was thinking that too 😅 The munchkins for christs sake !

RexyRex HD okay then

She got drugged, too. And it also wasn’t just Judy, some of the other actors went through some stuff. The actor of the wicked witch got seriously burned. It’s heartbreaking how much the actors suffered.

@@mirowave4154 ik

@Valkayre That isn't true.

@Valkayre That whole paragraph.

@Valkayre No, you said, "yea and her mother didnt want her she wanted to get an abortion but she couldnt cuz it was illegal and she would have to do an illegal on but it would hurt the mother so she had to give birth to her," none of which is true.

you could email that to hollywood

Never idolize anybody or u will be let down

@@ejigthompson4645 there is nothing wrong with idolizing Judy.

One person even called her “A fat pig with pigtails” when she was ONLY 13 years old

Well everyone’s 16 at some point in their lives JoJo.

Kevin Smith I think he was saying that he thought she was older than 16 during filming

Same

@@bitchass7198 She was 16 when they started and turned 17 during production, which lasted six months.

@@KevinSmith-ee4jb ik they just didn’t think she was

Gacha Alexa look at Shirley Temple. She was a toddler basically and practically was drooled over by men those days.

@@RudyG210 that's so disgusting, do you know why?

It would be sad for anyone of any age to be molested.

probably because now a days evidence can can literally be live streamed for the world to see.

Hollywood back in those days sadly didn't care about what was happening in the background, only profit. Sadly stuff like this can still happen, and it isn't until the company is mentioned that they do the bare minimum of work.

Child labor laws had been in place for years; as a matter of fact, because of California child labor laws, Judy was only permitted to work four hours out of the eight-hour work day. At least two hours were spent in school with the studio tutor, and the rest was free time.

@@MaskedMan66 she was still forced to work on other sets during that free time tho

@@squidwardsdiary2776 No, she was not, because MGM didn't want the law down on them. Don't make things up.

Protection from such abuse should not have to be under child labor laws......Hollywood is filled with perverts...

Maddy wiz me

Maddy wiz, I think they explained it in one of the books.

Maddy wiz me! Me!

Go to glinda castle

In the land of the quadlings

@i ate my username It was in some documentaries and you should be able to look it up. She tried to slash her wrists with pieces of broken glass but fortunately survived. They put her in the psychiatric hospital after that for two weeks.

You might mention that that was years after "Wizard" and had nothing to do with it.

The movie cause death. So if it wasn't because of this movie, Judy would have lived longer than she did.

@@cowboybill9821 if we ever catch movie pepole touching children call police.

Well. You can’t change the past.

Of course she would; she always spoke of it as a good time in her career. She made lifelong friends and got herself her own theme song.

@@cowboybill9821 Wrong. This movie had nothing to do with what she went through later in life. She always considered it a good memory.

I'm even surprised Shirley Temple lived as long as she did.

@@Only1Noodle Why?

What do you mean "now? She was older than the other two.

@@MaskedMan66 I meant the order their scandals came out. Not their ages.

@@starr3701 Their tales have been told (both factually and otherwise) for decades.

You should keep watching it for her. She would of wanted that

this and the Hanging munckin theory scare me

@@astonishedhoplite2510 yes I agree, we have to think a bit what she had to go through

@@sierrasaleste Mark 11:25 And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.”

When what happened? This video is full of misinformation.

R0xXx78 the reason for her alcoholism was due to her drug use which started when she started working with MGM they fed drugs to judy to keep her slim and perky

peach thats illegal.. and was? why didn't anyone do anything?

+Kisha Kwlwl Money works :(

According to the British autopsy she was not an alcoholic.

Kisha Kwlwl The movie industry "owned" Hollywood they bought lawyers politicians judges and lawmakers and the drugs were prescribed by a licensed physician ..

WRONG! Victor Fleming thought the world of her and she of him. She in fact had a huge crush on him, and he regarded her as one of the most talented and professional people he ever worked with. Judy's cast mates, some of whom she'd worked with before, loved her. Really, this bull**** about them treating her badly has to stop.

@@MaskedMan66 The director did body shame her he made her smoke 3-5 cigarettes everyday to get skinner and she was in a very strict diet

@@allukazoldyck5914 That's not what Judy said about him. She said, "He’s perfectly marvelous. He has the nicest low voice and the kindest eyes. Besides, he realizes that a girl who is sixteen is practically grown-up. He shows me all the courtesies he would to Hedy Lamarr. That’s very important to me. He notices my clothes and the way I do my hair and remarks about them.” I've seen too many fat smokers to buy the "smoking for weight loss" rubbish, and in any case, Judy was an anti-smoker at that time in her life, as she stated in an interview quoted in the book "The Road to Oz" by Jay Scarfone and William Stillman.

@@MaskedMan66 Oh well then I apologize for not looking up things before I speak.

Judy at the age of 17 when the movie came out, and Judy through all of her years and decades LOVED that movie. This video lies.

Same here they always gave me the creeps

Bigot.

Indeed, but that was all after this movie, not during it. The only way "Wizard" can be connected to the later sad events in her life was that it made her a star, and after that was when MGM started overworking her.

@@MaskedMan66 i disagree, her life was already pretty hard before Wizard of Oz came out - her mother was very cruel to her and was hellbent on sending her into show business from a very young age, and she was signed to MGM when she was 13. From then on out, she was fed pills to keep her energy up when she was filming and pills to help her sleep when she wasnt filming, she was being told that she was overweight and her diet was controlled by people at MGM and it was all over the place (leaving her with lifelong body image issues). This went on for 4 years until the Wizard of Oz was filmed when she was 17. I wouldnt say the problems started after the movie, but they certainly got worse after it as her drug addiction grew (because of the constant pills she was given by MGM) and the standards for her were much higher.

@@Olivia-tl1le Except that it didn't go on "for 4 years until the Wizard of Oz was filmed when she was 17," (a) because she'd only been with MGM for three years before she started on "Wizard" at the age of 16, and (b) according to California child labor laws, she could not work more than four hours a day. Given that she had tons of natural energy, she certainly needed no artificial stimulation to keep moving during that sort of a work period. The only reason I said that things got worse after she was in "Wizard" is because that's what the experts say.

She didn't go through anything extraordinary when making this movie; the worst thing she had to deal with-- apart from the beastly hot studio lights that everyone had to endure-- was her corset, which she found uncomfortable, but never complained about.

​@@MaskedMan66How do you know you weren't there

@@Kim-ss5bb How does anybody know anything about events for which they were not present? *You read books* by people who spoke to the people involved and did the in-depth research. I mean, think about it, if the only people allowed to talk about past events were the ones who were there, then there would be no history books and precious few news reports. Besides, why aren't you asking the person who posted the video that question, or indeed the OP of this thread?

No "criminals" worked on _Wizard_ , and Judy didn't suffer. She was not drugged, she was not starved, she was not harassed (sexually or otherwise), and she was not abused.

The film is not gonna be the same for people obviously but i do agree with u

@@jumpyultra9566 This film was always a nostalgic delight for Judy, Ray, Margaret, and all the rest.

caiori lol grow up

Too bad. You're gonna watch it or else!!😡😠

Same I didn't think of it scary or sad until I saw all this now it's not gonna be the same 😔

Bruh

@@braveheartthewarriorcatajClare Bruh

She wasn't mistreated by anyone involved in the making of "Wizard."

@@MaskedMan66 yes she was

@@animesimp684 I have it on good authority-- namely, authors who did decades of research which involved direct communication with the cast and crew-- that the worst thing she had to put up with was her corset.

Much of what this video says didn't happen.

Nothing "sinister." It was just a very hard job, that's all.

@@MaskedMan66 Clearly you haven't read or heard what went on behind the scenes.

She had no reason at this point in her life to cry for help about anything. People conflate her later life and career with her early life and career. The truth is that she was over the moon to be playing Dorothy Gale, and "Over the Rainbow" was a song written for the movie by two other people.

@@MaskedMan66 Shhhh! The tragic folklore's more interesting.

@@akrenwinkle Not remotely funny.

She was not drugged, she was not assaulted, and she was not a woman. She was well-treated and she was a teenager. The work was hard, nobody has ever denied that, but she only worked for four hours a day and found it overall a good experience.

@MaskedMan66 ur lying. You’re defending the horrible things they did to her for what? You’re sick

@@bluesblooms No, I'm saying that those "horrible things" never were "done to her." If they had been, do you honestly think she would have always loved the movie as she did? Do you honestly think she would always praise her co-stars and the other people with whom she worked as she did? Do you honestly think that she would have adopted "Over the Rainbow" as her personal anthem if she had been through such hell?

@@MaskedMan66 uh she was silenced and forced to..

@@bluesblooms "Uh," you're making things up now.

Not her whole life.

She was abused..on many levels..and also made to take pills...and drugs ......it was not the fame at an early age.

Omigosh, that's terrible.. do you know which movie it was? I've been thinking about watching a Shirley Temple film for the first time, and I'd really rather avoid whichever one THAT is..

Watch the movie it’s good! But, the stuff that happened BTS isn’t......

@@dandy_candy835 It was just hard work, punctuated by some shocking accidents. But everyone survived and got on with their work and their lives. Far worse things have happened in other film productions, before and after "Wizard," right up to the present day. Daniel Radcliffe's stunt double on one of the last HP films is now a paraplegic because of a stunt that went wrong.

This isn't "it." These books tell the truth: "The Making of The Wizard of Oz" (1977) by Aljean Harmetz with an introduction by Margaret Hamilton, "The Wizard of Oz: The Official 50th Anniversary Pictorial History" (1989) by John Fricke, Jay Scarfone, and William Stillman with an introduction by Jack Haley, Jr., and "The Road to Oz: The Evolution, Creation, and Legacy of a Motion Picture Masterpiece" (2019) by Scarfone and Stillman.

The Munchkins weren't. A few of them enjoyed a drink or three after hours, but that was it-- and that was enough.

This video tells bigoted lies. They were just people, that's all, and Judy got along famously with them.

Bats ur dumb af

Her experiences making "Wizard" have been exaggerated and lied about for so many decades, and it's got to a really ludicrous point. She always spoke of this movie as a cherished memory, and loved it all her life.
