Bette Davis' daughter B.D. Hyman on The Joan Rivers Show (1991)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 жов 2021
- In September 1991, B.D. Hyman, appeared 'The Joan Rivers Show', during which she repeated her familiar litany of horror stories about her mother, film icon Bette Davis. This time, however, there was a twist: Bette's fifteen-year-old grandson, Justin, who was six when he last saw her, came on the show and offered support for his mother's stories. He told his own harrowing tale of being threatned by Bette with a fireplace poker (An event that was not mentioned in either of B.D.'s books.)

Those Hyman's seem crazy af to me. Bette your child is wild.
🤥🙄
BD is not being entirely truthful... she wrote the book three weeks after her mother's stroke knowing she would most likely die, so to say she wanted to get her out of her life is not true...
Mia Farrow spent a lot of time as a child with BD and Bette. She says its all lies about Bette. BD turned on her mother after marrying her husband who Bette disliked and found controlling. This lady has a very odd website too.
@@vintagebrew1057 and a very odd UA-cam channel
That is a lie...If you read BD's book you would know she why and when she wrote tge first book in 85, second book in 87
@@vintagebrew1057 would Mia Farrow's word bêe reliable? I mean, she married Woody Allen and there were those issues involving her adoptive under age daughter. As a daughter of a narcissist myself, i fear comments like this. All i want is to successfully disappear from my mother's radar forever. Few people believe i was a victim rather than a daughter. It's really tough.
@@vintagebrew1057 Can you please at least try to figure out what you're even talking about before writing nonsense.
*SHE SAID HER CHILDHOOD WAS FINE*
Shes said that probably a garillion times in every interview she has ever been on.
It was AFTER she became an adult and got married the problems started. FFS
So what the hell does Mia Farrow during her childhood have to do with any of this??!
It's interesting that she is now adding more to the story here, saying that Bette said she would destroy her kids so she would have her back. Never mentioned once in her entire book. Talk about embellishment.
As far as I can tell, B.D. has actually been quite consistent in retelling her version of events. She actually has mentioned the issues with her children and the fact that her mother wanted her to break up her family to go home to Bette. B.D. was selling a book, so I don't doubt that she exaggerated some details to capture her audiences, but I happen to believe the vast majority of what she's said over the years.
But during her initially interviews she didn't say she wrote the book to get Better out of her life she claimed she wrote the book to help repair the relationship with her Mom it's only once she durd she suddenly admitted it was to rid Better if her life so she djd lie probably because she received a lot of backlash for releasing the book whilst her Mother was recovering from a stroke which even you've got to admit is rather cruel @@texan903
BArry, yes she did !
At the onset she described her mother as a" wacko neurotic". I don't think I have ever seen an interviewee who is so self-centered, entitled and angry.
Bette was an actor
all are egomaniacs.
BD seems off here...Shes not usually like this
bette davis described herself as a wacky neurotic. in normal conversation..sure"it's rude..but not here.
entitled brat who wants attention due to Monny Dearest. Sad. Joan Crawford was a great mom compared to many others.....sad.
You are a extremely bad judge of character . Never do jury duty PLEASE!

I don’t believe a word this lady says 😢
Truth is NOT reliant upon belief.
There’s probably a grain of truth in some of what she says, but I agree that the “revelations” about her relationship with Bette seemed more designed to shock and generate publicity for her book than to tell the truth.
We're u there? This is her story to tell. Why is it hard to believe Betty Davis was an egotistical tyrant? She was, and this has been said by other sources other than her daughter. What would be the reason for her to hate her own mother so deeply if she gave her such a great life. She would have gotten more money from her mother's will then she would have gotten from the sell of her book. Your love for someone shouldn't allow it to cloud your judgement.
All the cow wanted was money her attitude destroyed her relationship with her mother. Bette Davis loved BD. BD was evil. MU MU MU
BD is crazy, but her description of Bette Davis and her need to get away from her seems very true.
Even the grandson sounds incredibly rehearsed
No he doesn't your simple🤪🤥
She quit talking to her because of the book she wrote.
Her childhood sounded awesome, if bette was my mother idd worship the ground she walked on. Silly woman…
Oh if only I was as famous and interesting as my mother..right there!
I just watched Bette Davis on Joan River's show before this video. Love love love Joan but can't imagine why she would give this spiteful, hateful woman a platform to spew this nonsense. RIP Bette, absolute legend.
It’s hard to know what to believe but this was cruel and spiteful. My mother was very much like her mother in many ways but there were significant differences too. I still would have never ever ever done this to my mother. My mother passed 5 years ago and I’m still trying to deal with and face the neglect and the abuses I went through but I just couldn’t imagine doing this to my mother. When she gets the floor she really starts to unload and you can see the rage toward her mother. She’s a loose canon. I don’t think this is a good thing for children to watch. As the son is telling his story the pride on her face is unmistakable and she laughed with glee. Why would her son recounting a horrible incident with her mother evoke laughter in her? She’s really enjoying the spotlight. She did the full circuit and didn’t miss one opportunity to promote her book .
I agree,.....my mom asked me to NY I go....I accepted my mother for who she is and was, SHe did her best and Joan Crawford was nicer than my mom. She was not sinister and at the time I am sure Bette Davis was not sinister...she was who she was.
Get real you would have if your mother was famous like bette davis to make money!
She sure didn't get her mothers good looks.
Bette looked horrendous. There was nothing pretty about her. Most of the time she looked like a bitter snob.
She does have a look of her mother a little bit though
Her mom was a great actress, but pretty she was not.
She got Bette Davis eyes and Freddy Krueger everything else.
@@Eurovisionary851 Bette also looked like Freddy Krueger.
Bette was patrician and could seem distant, but that was her New England Yankee way. But she also showed what a great sense of humor she had in various interviews and, along with so many others in Hollywood, criticized people like Joan Crawford AND Bing Crosby for their brutal parenting methods. B.D. Hyman has no business comparing herself to Christina Crawford who could never do anything right in Joan's eyes. My God, Bette even got B.D. a part in "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?" despite the fact that she could never act her way out of a paper bag. A totally ungrateful woman.
Bette loved B.D. so dearly and treated her so well during her childhood years.
She looks so much like her mother
I’m not saying there’s no credibility to B.D’s story. Bette Davis was a friggin dynamo of a human being. She was supremely self-assured and any demons she may have had were concealed by a veil of indestructible determination, will and ego. And with that a brilliant actress-probably one of 10 of the truly great actresses of the 20th century. But I DO believe, like most highly successful and highly neurotic professional people, she probably had control freak tendencies and a sense that everyone around her were the supporting cast. I have no doubt she expressed the maternal instinct in a more aggressive fashion and this probably led B.D to become quite bitter. A child will always rebel when they want something that the parent keeps resisting from occurring and I’m sure B.D. felt like second fiddle. I’m also almost positive Bette said and did some things to her daughter that some children would easily grow to resent given that “control” factor. That said, I think writing a book about these issues was wrong. It could’ve been handled in a doctor’s office. Not a mass printing to air your dirty laundry. I don’t believe Bette abused her daughter and I think it was cruel to publish this
BD wanted Bette out of her life and decided a book was the best way to do it. I grew up in a violent family and moved far away to marry and have my children. I didn't want my family of origin near my children. I can totally understand what BD did. Just
because Bette was a famous star doesn't mean her family had to suffer violence from her.
Well - put, Philip and believe exactly the things you wrote above
@@dsrtflwr6093 She said when her mother was alive that she wrote it to be a wake up call for her, her story on her purpose she can’t even keep straight.
@@mykoniichistorychannel Agreed. I think she was an opportunist out for a buck. When her first version of why she wrote the book didn't help her save face, she started saying it was to cut her out of her life, contradicting her 'original' intention to give her a wake up call. Her real intention was always $$$ of course.
What a lying cat
Rip Bette 💐. None of us are perfect. I can’t imagine having a child putting out their families dirty laundry out there and for what?! My goodness! 😞
So abuse is okay, talking about it isn’t?
Daughter Dearest :(
Their marriage did work. Jeremy and she were married for 55 years or more, until his death
In earlier interviews she said she wrote the book to reach out to her mother…interesting how time distorts reality…
Mike Wallace rebroadcast a 60 Minutes interview he had filmed with Hyman a few years earlier in which she commended Davis on her skills as a mother when she (Hyman) was younger, and said that she had adopted many of Davis's principles in raising her own children. My Mother's Keeper was a best-seller; the second book, however, did not generate the same level of interest. Despite the acrimony of their divorce years earlier, Davis's former husband, Gary Merrill, defended Davis and claimed in an interview with CNN that B. D. was motivated by "cruelty and greed". B. D.'s brother through adoption, Michael Merrill, ended contact with B.D., and refused to speak to her again. Bette Davis disinherited B. D. and her grandchildren; her estate was instead divided between her adopted son Michael Merrill and her assistant Kathryn Sermak.
Its yourself who's distorted.
Merrill a liar . And immoral.😡🤮
It's a good thing Bette disinherited her spoiled behind. I can't BD Hyman and her false brand of Christianity. Disgusting getting her son out there.
Bette never suffered fools, but she sure suffered the disloyalty and malignment of her daughter BD. Guess she only shares her mothers stubbornness and none of Bette's many amazing traits!
I read her book and it was a page-turner. It came across neutral and I was very impressed. But seeing her live does make her appear spiteful..
You probably are a bit angry if she tried to destroy your marriage & boss you around after you are a married adult.
She didn’t deserve her mother.
Don’t believe a word!
I’m curious… why don’t you believe them? Bette’s thought to have caused the death of one of her husbands according to his family. The man died of skull injuries that were suspected to have been caused by Bette.
B.D. seems to be very nervous in this interview.
I’m so confused how was it legal to get married at 16 to a 30 year old, I believe her mother would of had to approve that. If she was really like that why would they let them get married. I did see in a interview where a bunch of actors and helpers all said her work came before her kids and she was very hard to work with so I can see some of this being true but no all of it. Honestly who the fu(k would let a 16 y/o marry a 30 y/o man that some perverted shi7 there is no way in hell I would of ever allowed that if I had kids, there’s no way my parents would of allowed us to do. I’m not sorry her husband is clearly a child sex offender and it’s disgusting
I really question BD!
5:20 That little punk is lucky Bette didn't jab him with it. BD Heffer is a piece of work.
Sorry to see BD act like this. Seems that she was over-the-top in her talking about Bette.
Brat kid
Blames her mother for everything and drags her kid into this. She could have taken measures to distance herself..This is not Christian conduct from a minister
Have you been listening to what she said!!🤨 fool.
This interview suprises me because I read her book. It was a last cry out for help from Bette. She had hoped to have her mother come around...She looks shocked here and never should have let her son come out like that
she was a brat
In all due honesty, one look at her son, and there was no way anybody could figure him to NOT be gay.
@@nassauguy48 For his sake, I hope not. BD has stated on many occasions that she believes homosexuality is evil and they will burn in the lake of fire. She even claims the anti-christ is a homosexual. Did you notice how the "F" word for a gay man rolled so easily off her tongue? Bette does indeed have a huge gay fan base, so apparently BD is uncomfortable with that.
Never mentioned that her mother appeared on her balcony then changed into a demonic being.
@@brentbeacham9691 some things you block out and remember it later.
Ungrateful daughter and grandson 😩
What's interesting, in an interview with Chris Wallace, 1980, Chris visited with BD, her husband and children, and Chris had asked her if Bette and she discusses what it was like growing up. She didn't mention anything negative. Perhaps things got a little more extreme after this interview, which is possible, based on Bette's strong convictions. ua-cam.com/video/g857qqY0D90/v-deo.html
Another interesting point , BD signed the book deal 3 weeks after her mother's stroke, which leads many to believe that she thought her mother was going to die. BD clearly stated she wrote the book to get her out of her life....
You're just everywhere aren't you. Lol. Diana Ross/ Mary Wilson one day Bette Davis/B. D. Hyman the next lol
@@punkanellylovejoy702 I'm very diverse. Lol
@@brkitdwn LoL. Me too
Whack-o neurotic is a perfect descriptor for this woman
Fool is the word l'd call you. 🤡🤥 pagan
I don’t believe this….. she had already had her stroke and didn’t have enough strength to pick up a poker and scold a child….. this is so extreme and even if it is real why would they want to ruin her legacy. Sad.

Little crazy
To go into public and say the things that she did is shameful. I cant even watch this. This is unbelievable and i dont believe one word. She wrote the book thinking her mother wasnt going to make it. These people are poison.
Your evil.and a fool. Obviously can't understand what people are saying🙄🤦
Meanwhile she literally looks just like Bette Davis lol
I'm very interested to know what the Hyman sons do for a living these days.
Her oldest son passed in January
What a horrible human.
BD was obviously jealous of her mother.
🤭😅😅🙄🤡 Go back to sleep!🤣
None of us know the truth.
I could see Bette tried to take the snooty, righteous, I’m never wrong, my way or the highway attitude of her daughter straight out of her. Jeez.
She comes across as a nutcase, very jealous of her mother.what a shame she was so shallow, and not believable at all. 😢😮
I read the a few weeks ago and it is the most vile, disgusting, petty, chilish rant of a 15 yr old teenager but written by a 50 yr old woman. And to make it worse it was so badly written it was difficult just getting thru the last 50-100 pages. Like Bette said the last years of her life about her daughters book, "The only problem was I didn't die". Because BD put the book out expecting her mother was on deaths door and she would make a lot more money if bette had died at the time from stroke and breast cancer, but she lived 8 more years.
LIAR Something seriously wrong with you .seek PROFESSIONAL HELP.🤨🙄
Funny how BD doesn’t mention her religious fanaticism etc.
What are you talking about!?????. 🙄 because she's NOT A fanatic. She is a Christian pastor and has her own Christian ministry. And teaching the Bible ✝️ on YTUBE. Go there learn the TRUTH.
Fanatic? She is a practicing Christian. Stop calling Christians who practice their faith fanatical.
I would never dare smile as one of my children berated my mother. I have been lucky to have the mother I have, but I had a grandmother who was not quite so friendly. Still, if any of my children disrespected my grandmother, I would not be laughing about it. I might get sad that it played out how it did, but I would not be laughing.
I don’t believe anything she says!
.more fool you then !.l don't believe you
This reminds me of how Davis stuck her foot in Crawford when she was on the floor in Baby Jane - B.D. is doing that exact thing to her mother- but for real!
I wonder if the grandson actually remembers those things or that's just what BD fed him over the years...
Don’t most people have shocking, unbelievable things to say about their parents?
My grandma was a saint and I miss her everyday. Ok that said how cool would it be to have one of the original Hollywood starlettes be your grandma.Bette Davis was beautiful in the 30s in jezabelle and she was a great actress. I don't get it .
I mean this in the kindest way: there is something terribly wrong with her.
Liar!!!!! And her son too
Why do people find it so hard to believe that a person can be a controlling narcissist and still good at their job i. e. a good actress. If anybody has read any material about Bette, it is no secret that Bette Davis was very difficult professionally and probably carried the same attitude at home with her child.
My dislike is not for this channel. I It is for Better Davis' despicable daughter who published a hate filled derogatory book filled with lies about her mom to make money. She even admitted in an interview it was a business move. I have an abusive alcoholic mom and would give anything for a mom like Bette who supported her daughter financially her whole life and never said a bad word about her even when the book came out. The book was released when Bette was dying from cancer. It was a betrayal that deeply hurt Bette in her hardest, loneliest days.
I didn’t like that she called her mother a super star wako in this interview
What's she so angry about?
@@uyoebyik ...If you looked like that, you'd be angry too. 👍💯🤔
Karma… Sorry but Bette was a bch and did some foul sht to people.. life works in strange ways 🤷🏻♂️
You have no idea how Davis was in private. And you wanted her as a. mother? Delusional!
Look her up today. Totally crazy and hateful. Makes Christina Crawford look like a rational person. At least Joan’s daughter waited until her mother died to cash in. The son here is clearly gay, poor kid, because part of this woman’s crusade is against gay men. I can only imagine how horrible his childhood was with this as his mother. Maybe he should write a book about his mother.
YOURE WRONG
B D BOOKS WERE NOT THAT BAD ABOUT BETTE. I READ THEM BOTH.
BETTE WAS A WITCH
B D IS A FOLLOWER OF JESUS
YOU WILL GO TO HATIES FOR LYING
B D has a wonderful UA-cam channel BD Hyman...Successfull marriage
I totally agree, got instant gaydar going.
How do you know what he is or you talking from your own personal experience?
It seems like Bette isn’t the only one who’s crazy
BD is a flaming liar. She's riding her mother's coattails even now. How pathetic.
Bette Davis did everything for that girl. She is sooo ungrateful. Also Bette Davis was friendly to gay people. So I doubt she would say that about her grandson.
🤡🙄 "yeah right"
I completely believe her.
I love Bette Davis, actress!!! However, I believe those who suffered behind closed doors saying she was an alcoholic & mean bossy narcissist.
What else from religious people.
She's anything but religious.
She’s still living,thus proving only the good die young.
oh please with that nonsense. Are you saying that all old people are evil? I'm fucking tired of those worn out trite phrases that are more harmful than helpful.
Bette died at the age of 90 so she wouldn't be that good either. Even if I don't side with this ungrateful girl like Christina.
oh shush you Hollywood worshipping sychophants are just too much
Some people are just born different, whether due to chance or genetics. I think Bette was born very confident, lively, intelligent, but also a little narcissistic and attention seeking and in love with drama. My guess is her daughter inherited some of this. I'm sure both were not perfect people.
BD sitting next to Christina Crawford?
Yes
Modern-day 'Christian' 🙄
The grandson is more like a princess. 😆
Let''s hope not. BD is on the record despising homosexuals.
@@beedifrnt Then she probably forced him into 'conversion therapy.'
Barbara sounds just like her mom's movie characters. No wonder they didn't like each other, too much alike, all seem nuts. I've never been a fan of Bette Davis movies, or Bette Davis.
Bette’s daughter claims to be a Christian. Could have fooled me!
I know many Christians who attend Bible services regularly and you wouldn't believe the vile and cruel things they do and say to other people. The Christians at our church say horrible things about others and constantly fight with their spouses.
How could b.d hyman be so cruel?
She betrayed with total disrespect. She wrote her book for money.
Of course her mother was difficult-her mother was a gifted genius. A minister my foot "honor thy mother and father" at any price.
It’s hard to know what to believe but this was cruel and spiteful. My mother was very much like her mother but there were differences. I still would have never ever ever done this to my mother. My mother passed 5 years ago and I’m still trying to deal with and face the neglect and the abuses I went through but I just couldn’t imagine doing this to my mother. When she gets the floor she really starts to unload and you can hear the rage toward her mother. She’s a loose canon. I don’t think this is good thing for children to watch. As the son is telling his story the pride on her face is unmistakable and she laughed with glee. Why does this evoke laughter in her? She’s really enjoying the spotlight. She did the full circuit and didn’t miss one opportunity to promote it.
Joan was much too polite to this woman, Ms. B.D. Hymen. She attempted to ruin the name of her own mother and make a cash profit like Cristina Crawford had done before her. Guess what? Ms. Hymen failed and her "biography" dismissed. Ms. Hymen also failed at one of the oldest and valued of the original biblical tenets..."Honor thy father and thy mother, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee." B.D. Hymen will only be known to history as an asterisk or a footnote referencing her lies, false statements, ill-will, and proudly willful perjuries within her own stated highest court of law, the biblical Christian faith.
I wish I could like this comment more than once, you've got it spot on!!
Joan Rivers was a class act and a saint. She was the epitome of professionalism
joan was killed on a respirator same way covids were killed weeks aftee video of her saying obama was first gay potus married to transgender
Not credible. Bd and her husband apparently left debts everywhere they lived. Bette gave them much funding. This woman is cookoo…. Have you seen her ministry videos? Cookoo!
Like Mother, like Daughter. Both mad as cut snakes.
I think she wanted to be a star and her mother said no and now she has to live a normal life.
Now BD is a religious wacco now..
Me me me
That poor woman no mother should hurt their child and grandchildren like that.
It's all lies.
Justin seems gay....just saying
And this is exactly a good reason to interrupt a pregnancy or to stop and adoption process too , ungrateful children with their famous mothers😡 writing books telling a bunch of BS 😡😡😡 I'm so glad I'm not having or adopting Kids 🤷🏻♂️
She's complaining about traveling the world, having a private tutor, and 24/7 nanny.
And you think thst traveling the world and Nannie’s is fun. Maybe she craved normalcy maybe she wanted one home. Momma to care for her only money doesn’t fix abuse or toxicity in a parent gift neither
Abuse and neglect have nothing to do with income or class
Rude and ungrateful
BD Hyman SPOILED WOMAN. Betrayal of her mother
That is what smoking during pregnancy may lead to😏🙄 (if we recall many photos during Deception filming in 1946 where Bette smoked being already pregnant😳)
Clearly Justin is gay
Your mean!
So?
Also you can't tell just from his demeanour/appearance. Camp effeminate heterosexual men do exist
All really good actresses are fuckups privately. If you know anything about Bette its that she was more then difficult woman. Extreme ego and self centered. So for her daughter growing up must have been really hard with a mother like that even with all the money involved. But other side of the coin is that she herself wasn't an angel. So when can you stop blaming parents for your own character problems is the real question. Her mother was an extraordinary woman in her work but as a person...who knows why she had so much issues. It doesn't seem like she herself was abused growing up. Maybe it was genetic, in borne neurosis and anger management issues that were not treated as a problem back then.
I like this interview. B.D has always been interesting when it comes to the topic of her mother.
"WHERE'S THAT POKER?" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is pathetic.
I love bette davis. But BD is right to come clean about the nightmare of living with her. Bette was nuts and a major drinker.
Jeanette mccurdy tho wrote a horrible book
WHY DOES U T ONLY SHOW LIKES AND NOT DISLIKES? CENSORSHIP AGAIST 1A
UA-cam removed the Dislike option when Covid came out as lots of people (a dramatic amount) were disliking a lot of things that the government were trying to push.. they decided it probably best to remove the dislike option as that is a clear indication of how the general public view things.. and it didn’t work for them with all that they were trying to push through
Soeake your truth BD.... noone under this comment section including me knew these ppl so how can u call her a liar because your a fan of her mom smh...
sad how the grandson couldn't find an ally in his maternal grandmother. that really sux.
Although I can see that BD is telling the truth, I can clearly see the truthfulness in Bette's "...faahg that needs to be toughened up" comment.. 🤭
He needs his a$$ kicked..so does she
@@sequin99 😁
LIES!!! LIES AND MORE LIES!
Bette Davis and Joan Crawford both sound like they had serious personality disorders, like they both had some kind of NPD going on in my opinion. I hope that Christina Crawford and B.D. Hyman live happier lives.
No, Crawford and Davies were hard working women who over compensated through guilt over being away working and were rewarded with evil daughters
