‘Hollywood Exposed’: Former Actress Tina Griffin’s Valuable Advice for Teens and Parents

Contact Your Elected Officials

Tina Griffin left Hollywood to shine a light on what today’s media is really teaching kids, and how parents can counter it.

At age 20, Tina Griffin left the Wisconsin farm where she’d grown up milking cows and bailing hay and drove 2,000 miles to California to take her shot at acting. She was a working actor for 10 years, appearing in movies and TV shows.

Over time, Griffin became aware of the gap between the roles played by her fellow actors and their lifestyles off the set. Many of them were glamorizing or at least prompting negative behavior and values on the screen while sheltering their own children from such influences.

Eventually she left acting and began speaking out about the disparity in Hollywood between fiction and reality. Since that time, Griffin has spoken to countless thousands of teenagers and parents at home and abroad, in venues ranging from schools to cruise ships to music festivals. “I always hated lies and deception,” Griffin said. “And I loved exposing the truth so that they could get the answers they needed to make an informed decision.”

In her on-the-road show, “Hollywood Exposed,” she shares the “secrets” of Hollywood celebrities, explaining how they kept their children from viewing violent or obscene entertainment. She also lifts the curtain on the false premises presented in the media—about drugs, partying, and promiscuity—that lose their glamour and destroy the innocent in real life. She talks with teens about the dangers of drug and alcohol usage, how to deal with the low self-esteem so often created by social media, and how pop culture fads can be avoided.

Her “Counter Culture Mom Show” features an array of issues and guests with a focus on the destructive effects of media and pop culture on young people.

“It’s critical that we don’t allow our kids to be raised on technology,” Griffin said. “What are they going to get out of it? Most of it is not good entertainment, not even good media, and they’ll spend all their time doing that instead of developing the talents and gifts they have within them.”

From her parents’ example, her experience as a mother, and her many encounters with teens and parents of all backgrounds, Griffin shared below some core lessons on helping the young become mature, happy adults.
