The actress emphasized how her paycheck “should have been protected so that they’re not on the record.”

“It just puts children in a really dangerous situation,” Brown said. “I think everybody’s a little bit too lax about the way that children are brought up in the industry. I grew up with a lot of eyes on my parents, but I feel that those were the people that protected me the most.”

“My mom is very knowing and wise, and she advocates for herself. My dad has always been someone who pushes me to stand up for myself and never settle for anything less than what I deserve,” she continued. “The trust he’s instilled in me — the love and hope he’s instilled in me — has helped me go on sets or stages and fight for myself…in hopes that I can fight for others.”
