As a lifestyle expert with extensive knowledge and a deep appreciation for the television landscape of my youth, I must commend Beverley Mitchell, David Gallagher, and Mackenzie Rosman for their courageous and sensitive approach to addressing the reprehensible actions of Stephen Collins on their rewatch podcast, “Catching Up with the Camdens.
Content warning: This story discusses sexual abuse of minors
The 7th Heaven alums kicked off their podcast with an important message.
In the debut episode of “Catching Up with the Camdens,” a podcast revisiting the classic WB series, hosts Beverley Mitchell, David Gallagher, and Mackenzie Rosman discussed the past allegations made against Stephen Collins, who portrayed their father on the show, regarding sexual misconduct that he admitted to over a decade ago.
During the September 23rd broadcast, Beverley initiated a discussion by expressing, “It’s essential for us to address Stephen Collins.” David, aged 39, followed up, “Any form of abuse, particularly sexual abuse, is unforgivable. Victims of such abuse deserve empathy and assistance.
Mackenzie, who portrayed the character of youngest sibling Ruthie Camden, pointed out that although the cast often talks about collaborating with Stephen, they do not endorse his behavior.
While viewing these episodes again, it’s hard not to mention Stephen,” the 34-year-old explained. “He played a significant role in the series and in our personal lives. However, we feel it’s important to clarify that there were no inappropriate encounters with Stephen.
As a lifestyle enthusiast, I must share some intriguing news about the upcoming rewatch podcast for the beloved TV series that spanned from 1996 to 2007. The show’s cast members from all 11 seasons are set to join in, but here’s an interesting twist: the actor who brought Rev. Eric Camden to life won’t be among them this time around.
Beverley clarified that Stephen, the character who played Lucy Camden, would not be participating in this podcast. Furthermore, she made it clear that they do not support or tolerate his actions.
When speaking out about their former co-star’s regrettable behavior, these TV siblings made it clear that their motivation behind their rewatch podcast was to provide pleasure and enjoyment.
Beverley, at 43 years old, expressed her desire for this podcast to bring us back together – the fans. She wants to reminisce about the ’90s and recount some cherished moments from the show 7th Heaven.
Ultimately, David (also known as Simon Camden), offered a heartfelt encouragement to the survivors and their supporters.
He acknowledged that it might be tough and potentially distressing, but he wanted everyone to know how much they’re cherished. In truth, they are deeply appreciative for the affection and backing their community has consistently given them. Here’s hoping that they’ll stay by their side as they navigate this path together.
In the year 2014, the Manhattan Special Victims Unit initiated an investigation into Stephen following the public release by TMZ of an audiotape containing him confessing to acts of sexual abuse against multiple underage girls, which he had discussed with his therapist and ex-girlfriend Faye Grant.
In an interview with Katie Couric, the 76-year-old spoke openly about his past mistreatment of a 10-year-old girl, which occurred when he himself was 25 years old. (Year not specified)
In 1973, there were two instances where I found myself in close proximity to a young woman. Approximately several months later, she paid me a visit and we ended up watching TV together alone. At one point, I guided her hand towards me in a manner that was inappropriate. I realized instantly that something deeply regrettable had transpired between us, which I couldn’t undo. This is what he shared during the interview.
Because the statute of limitations on the abuse case in New York expired before the reports were made public, Stephen could not be prosecuted. Over the past few years, he has chosen to stay out of the limelight.
