7th Heaven Cast Grapples with Stephen Collins' Scandal

Stephen Collins

The Investigation Discovery series "Hollywood Demons" has brought shocking revelations to light regarding Stephen Collins, best known for his role as Reverend Eric Camden on "7th Heaven". The docuseries delves into Collins' history of child sexual abuse, shedding light on the actor's misconduct that came to public attention in 2014.

In "Hollywood Demons", two former "7th Heaven" cast members, Kyle Searles and Jeremy London, confront the harrowing details of Collins' actions. Searles, who portrayed Mac on the series, expressed his revulsion upon learning the age of one of Collins' victims. "I had no idea the first one was 10 [years old]", he stated, visibly shaken by the confession.

London, who played Chandler Hampton, was similarly distressed, finding it difficult to process the information. These revelations follow the leaks of a 2012 therapy session audio in which Collins confessed to inappropriate interactions with underage girls spanning decades. Despite never facing charges due to the statute of limitations, his admissions left a profound impact on his former colleagues and the public.

April Price, one of Collins' victims, recounted her experiences during the documentary. She accused Collins of downplaying the abuse in a prior interview, detailing unsettling encounters when she was just 13. As the "Hollywood Demons" premiere approaches, these testimonies underscore the complex emotions and haunted memories that continue to affect those involved with Collins and "7th Heaven."
