Breakfast Club star Molly Ringwald, 56, says she was 'taken advantage of by predators' as a young actress in Hollywood

Molly Ringwald, who began her career as a child actress on the sitcoms, revealed she was 'taken advantage of' in the early days of her career.

Earlier this year, Molly claimed that there were certain elements of The Breakfast Club - which follows a group of five teenagers in detention - that 'hadn't aged well' since its 1985 release. In April 2018, in the wake of the #MeToo movement, Ringwald called out her film, Sixteen Candles, for featuring a scene, in which Michael Schoeffling's character, Jake Ryan, toys with the idea of taking advantage of his passed out girlfriend. Additionally, the star revealed, that at the time, her mother shut down a 'creepy' joke, in which her character's dad was suppose to ask 'what the hell happened to your underpants?'
