Justine Bateman has a brother...


I just watched the episode with Justine Bateman remembering her experiences as a teenager, and found it strange that the reenactments made it look like she was an only child, when in reality, her brother is probably more well-known than she is, as a celebrity. Why would they not have someone portray her brother, Jason Bateman, in the story she told? I'm sure he would have at least been there with her at their grandfather's funeral.

Because it's irrelevant to her story.

Because the story is not true.

And probably because of legal reasons.

I don't remember their ages, but maybe he was already working a lot and gone doing that, maybe he already had his own place, dunno.. as mentioned it's just a reenactment of her story, which might be made up in the first place

Same thing happened with the Rebecca De Mornay story. I thought she was an only child but looked her up on IMDB and she has a half brother who apparently went with them when her mother went nuts. Nothing about a trip to Mexico on IMDB either. Weird how these stories are told with half-truths when facts can easily be found. The show loses a lot of credibility doing that. Probably fake like all other "unscripted" "reality" shows.

The people you idolize wouldn't like you.

Could be Justin doesn't believe in ghosts and/or didn't want to be associated in any way with this.

I mean Jason*, lol.

I like your thread title. Yes, she has a brother, and he's the person your mind immediately goes to when you hear her name these days.
