Packed Schedules
Clearly, the Osmonds did not enjoy your typical childhood. At 17 years old, when his peers began working after school jobs, Donny was working way more than the average hours of those peers. Marie and Donny at the time were working about 20 hours a day! I mean, they had a lot on their plate, such as, learning new songs, scripts and dance routines. Sadly, not everything they were exposed to at their age was completely appropriate.

Fear for Her Daughter
Marie Osmond really opened up in her book when talking about daughter Jessica. Her adopted daughter had come out of the closet. During an interview with Diane Sawyer, after Marie was named Person of the Year, she explained her reaction to Sawyer. She told Sawyer she cried when Jessica broke the news at age 17. Actually, her tears were because she feared Jessica would face judgement and hardship. She told Sawyer that after seeing LGBT friends of her deal with troubles, “I didn’t want that for my child.”
