With all the news surrounding hollyweird's treatment of young actors i don't doubt for a second that leo experienced some harassment or worse assault as a child, he was very famous at a young age and was already a star before titanic.
Something about him is strange to me, his dating history especially, i feel like he's stunted in some way.

Compares Tom Cruise and Leonardo Dicaprio's body language on the Ellen show, Tom Cruise is relaxed with open posture and dictates the conversation meanwhile Leo was the opposite. If he did get molested then his behavior makes sense.

If so, I also hope he has the courage to share his story one day.

If someone as prolific as DiCaprio were to open up about the sexual abuse of children in Hollywood, it would blow the lid off of a very deep and scary box.

As glad as I am that the MeToo Movement happened, we should already have had something similar in relation to the mistreatment of children - but the only person who ever speaks up about this (and still refuses to name names) is Cory Feldman, whom very few take seriously (with good reason).

I recall Elijah Wood broaching this topic during an interview very briefly, but he stated he wasn't one of the abused - something I find almost impossible to believe given his huge success as a child actor. DiCaprio has more credibility than both Feldman and Wood, so there's no one who wouldn't take him seriously if he spoke up. And surely many others would follow suit.

Corey will be taking those names to the grave unless someone offers him a 7-figure option

I doubt even the money would be enough; I really think someone would've made him an offer before now.
