Gary Coleman Selling Car -- and Dignity -- on eBay

16. His parents - the ones who spent all of his money - should be sorely ashamed of what they have doomed this man to. He's never going to break out of having been Arnold on Different Strokes, but he should have at least had the money he earned to fall back on.

There's a special place in hell for greedy as$ people who would do this to their own child.

17. #16 is so write. Gary Coleman was totally ripped off by his PARENTS. But his OWN PARENTS put him to work on TV and then rip him off of everything. I can't think of anything more horrible. I admire this man for pushing forward and tryng to do whatever he can to get by. How heartbreaking could it be to work so hard as a kid, and being ripped of totally by your parents and managers????? The people who were supposed to take care of you??

I agree with #16, I wish Hollywood would find a place for this guy. It's like--he got used up and thrown out, and he was just a kid. All of Hollywood should be ashamed. Who produced that show??? What are they doing with THEIR money???

Hollywood, stand up and be fair. This man is one of your own.

18. He is also auctioning off a dollhouse. Poor guy will be wheel-less and homeless.

19. Boo Hoo! I'm all choked up. Did you see what the interest was that "loan company" (the one he was doing the commercial for) was charging? I wonder how many people got sucked into a "loan" because of his association? This guy is a puke.

20. I guess Gary can take some solace that he is was adopted and his actual biological parents were not the ones who looted his funds. The sad part about his career, Gary was labeled as a problem star. His management constantly held out for more money(that he never saw) in negotiations thus, causing production delays. This is why Different Strokes season would start and Gary would not appear until 3 -5 shows later. The industry has never forgiven him for it and Gary has probably been blackballed. I find it hard to beleve, that there isn't any type of position within the industry for Gary, besides a security guard in a toy store.

21. If he'd just embrace 4 words. 4 WORDS! He could capitalise on his former fame.

23. Lay off of him. His own parents stole all his money. Pretty low.

24. This nasty little man has priors for assault & battery and a bunch of other things. He made a 'living' in the porn industry and did everything except look for a REAL job. I don't care about him on bit. He is responsible for his own life.

25. #20 What a great idea! WHA-CHOO TALK'N BOUT WILLIS? is a very famous line. Could he use it in commercials? Or would the people who own the show say THEY own the line?

Has he been on Oprah? She should have him on, talking about the old show, etc. That would give him more public exposure.

I wish the Hollywood Powers that be would pay attention and realize how fond many of us still are of this man. I would suggest Gary write a memoir, but I think he should wait until he can write it with an upbeat ending--and I think one of these days, it WILL have an upbeat ending!

26. I live in Utah not far from him. I have witnessed him being EXTREMELY belligerent to a checker at a local grocery store for telling him her grandchildren were fans. It was embarrassing for all within hearing distance. He treated this woman so rude she was ready to cry. He was in a huge cowboy hat with a huge belt buckle. Looked ridiculous. He left in a jacked up Dodge. I have no idea how he even got into the thing. After seeing how he treats others, he deserves what he gets.

#14 There is no such thing as an ex drug addict. Once an addict, always an addict, just controlled.
