The phrase Hollywood values is a pejorative which refers to the general lack of morals and values in Hollywood culture, which some argue lead to rampant drug use, extramarital sex, and disease.
Hollywood values can include a disrespect for:
- marriage
- patriotism
- religion
- accountability
Political correctness, at least publicly, is a central part of Hollywood values.
Hollywood values are deadly. Some examples include:[1]
- River Phoenix, 23, a huge star until he died from an overdose cocaine and heroin.
- Brad Renfro, 25, became addicted to heroin and was found dead after a night of drinking.
- Kurt Cobain, 27, "turned to drugs and alcohol to help him cope," then committed suicide.
- John Belushi, age 33, was a repeated drug abuser who ultimately died of a lethal injection of cocaine and heroin.
- Sid Vicious, 21, overdosed on heroin obtained from his mother.
- Jim Morrison, 27, died of an apparent heroin overdose
- Jimi Hendrix, 27, drank wine, took sleeping pills, and asphyxiated on his own vomit.
