This is a first. Both doing a solo episode, AND telling this particular story. I’ve dropped bits, scenes, moments, and alluded to, but never in my life, in any place public or private have I sat down and simply laid it all out - I was a teenage runaway. I was kidnapped at twenty. I escaped, moved to LA and rode the tidal wave of Hollywood’s music and entertainment-biz, while sinking into the drugs and alcohol I nearly drowned in. It was as exciting as it was harrowing. And now, I’m spilling it all - as well as how I recovered, found sanity, and became the person that can share this tale from a healthy, happy and very, very grateful place.

The HollyWould podcast is produced by Cristiana Ladki-Williams and filmed in Hollywood, California. It is the lovely Cristiana’s voice that chimes in to ask the occasional question.
