This is the third child Chet Hanks is the third child of Tom Hanks This guy's famous actors of all time. Anytime his name has been in the media, it is negative. Giving the perception that he is the black sheep of the family. Tom has consistently maintained a positive and wholesome image which has endeared him to audiences worldwide.

Many people refer to him as America's dad. However, the actual son of the perceived down to earth actor says things were not as good as they seemed. This became abundantly clear when in November of 2014 Chet revealed that he underwent treatment for cocaine addiction. This was the first time Chet made headlines quite the introduction.

People wondered how a child raised in the same home as Tom Hanks took such a dark path. I've been struggling with substance abuse since I was 16 years old. Finally, at the age of 24, I decided to get some help with 50 days of sobriety under my belt. I Can honestly say I'm the happiest I've ever been.

Chet Said that his parents were very supportive and helpful towards him overcoming his problems. People sympathize with Chet for being so open regarding his addiction. However, just a few months later, he posted an Instagram photo that would change people's minds about him. Chet uploaded a photo of him holding two guns with a caption that reads: check out the song Me and My N-word chill that dude just dropped on Soundcloud Cheers Lincoln Bio Foreign Most people had no idea Chet was an aspiring rapper and they were not fond of his use of the N-word Czech claims that music is the first Outlet He used to express himself when he was 15.

First man, we talking about the hearse I got mad gifts but this verse about the curse of when life stops in the good time sees debris aunt and Dice Grandma piece that was the first verse I ever wrote. However, he didn't record or release music until he became a student at Northwestern University in 2011 recording white Impressions that goes fast without the G purple Under the Alias Chet Haze This song was a remix of Wiz Khalifa's black and yellow with the lyrics changed in reference to his school colors. He also dropped a few other club Style songs to show his versatility. People were dumbfounded at the thought of Tom Hanks son of all People becoming a rapper I'm aware that this battle during has been publicized so much is because of that fact.

so I'm appreciative of the publicity that I get because of it. According to Chet his father heard most of his music and was pretty supportive. He suggested his wealthy background didn't discredit him as a hip-hop artist, saying hip-hop is much larger than that. It exceeds boundaries Beyond Race and socioeconomic background.

It doesn't matter what country you're from or what nationality you are. Hip-hop is music an art form, a culture it can appeal and come out of whoever it speaks to. And it speaks to me. Three years later when the wrong question sheds use of the N-word he said this: look I know the majority of y'all are not going to get this because the history is still so fresh in our country.

But hip-hop isn't about race, it's about the culture you identify with and can't no one tell me what I can't say but he made a little adjustment to that statement I Just want to clarify one thing. he had me in the first half I was on board. then this is gonna slide out of the controller. Would I ever go up to somebody that I didn't know and just be like hey, what's up my it's an unspoken thing between people who are friends who understand each other.

but it wasn't just the word, it was the multiple photos of him on Instagram flexing guns and trying to act like a gangster when everyone knows that's not his reality. To put it plainly, people just saw him as a douchey out of touch rich boy who thinks he can say and do whatever he wants. However, Chet claims that these Antics were all a side effect of his really bad drug problem because later on in 2015, he announced that he was finally in rehab. All right hey, I just want to say I know like my name's been in the media about me, like going missing or getting kidnapped or something.

I'm just another shot No I've been I've been in a rehab right? I've been trying to get my together and I'm doing pretty damn good. You know what I'm saying and you know. Another thing is you know, like that stuff I was in the media about about the N-word and everything you know I know a lot of y'all kind of understood the point I was trying to make. but the truth is, it's not my place to speak on that.

and I'm genuinely sorry for the people that I've offended. up until this point, people are so eager to know what time no thanks, thought about his son and Chet finally let us know how his dad truly feels. genuine. But first a word from our sponsor: Aura Have you ever Googled your name and seen yourself on one of those strange sites that has way too much information about you? Yeah, be I don't know.

My parents are just like they're just like making sure I'm good like guys I'm like guys guys this is um I just see like great videos Patrick CC goes on next. boom they don't really like tell me what to do anymore because like I'm grown you know I mean like his brother Colin was asked like you've just responded with a bunch of vague compliments. He is, um, you know, obviously he's doing his own thing. He's very absolutely.

He's very passionate about what he does and uh, he's got an incredible work ethic. Um, he really does I mean that dude hustles and works hard and you know I want him to be happy I want him to be successful I want him to to feel like he's uh, you guys guys, this is tough because I feel like a lot of times if you're not actually genuine and supportive right? saying this, saying this can go Can. It's like a double-edged sword. It'll either come out as a favorite genuine, but if it's not very genuine, it's the exact opposite.

It's not as condescending patronizing it. It's kind of embarrassing if you're the one on the receiving end of it, which really sucks. I'm telling you guys, this is not how I read this. this is a super mega black or Mega white it.

That's how it is in his passion and doing what he wants to do. From this clip alone, it seems like his brother Colin is more well adjusted and mature and that's because they were raised entirely differently. Tom's two older children are from his first marriage with Samantha Luz Colin his first son was born and raised long before Tom was a massive success Tom said Colin and Elizabeth remember when their dad was just a guy trying to make rent Colin grew up in Sacramento with his mom and spent every other weekend in La treating it like a fun sort of getaway Colin Didn't grow up living a lavish lifestyle. his mother kept him grounded I don't know how much money my mother was getting in alimony, but what I heard was we don't have the money for that.

Your dad has that we don't have that Chet On the other hand, raised in luxury Tom Hanks Met fellow actress Rita Wilson in the early 80s and a set of Bosom Buddies sparking a friendship following the end of his first marriage. Hanks and Wilson reunited on the set of Volunteers in 1985. in the film The Two played lover that's gonna, that's gonna cook though because I feel I feel like if both know about and interact with with one another. It's a bit like the video like we have two monkeys in a cage and one is given like a a fruit right? or like a raisin order and you want it.

It's getting like a cucumber and we gets really upset. That's a very normal thing. Like a verse translator expressed that there was instant chemistry I asked Rita if it was the real thing for her and it just couldn't be denied. Their connection led to a romantic relationship and three years later the couple got married before having two children, their eldest son Chester Chet in 1990 and their youngest son Truman in 1995.

two years before Chet was born, Tom starred in Big which became his breakthrough into Super startups and seven figures for every film thereafter. he went on a Legendary Run of huge hits Like A League of Their Own Sleepless in Seattle Philadelphia Forrest Gump Apollo 13. damn boy story. by the time Chad was six years old Tom Hanks legendary status in Hollywood and was earning tens of millions of dollars.

I was watching Big when I was a little kid and I was like that's Dad what's he doing on TV and mom was like he's an actor that's what he does Chet and Truman were raised in Hollywood in a luxurious mansion. They mingled with other celebrity children and took extravagant trips on private planes all around the world. However, Chet says this wasn't exactly what people thought it was. They expected it to be like me, like like running around like this.

yeah like Richie Rich like I don't have a care in the world I had like endless money and I could just like hang out by a swimming pool all day like drinking margaritas and I'm like whipping around like rolls royces and like partying in mansions like that's what they expected. My life was and it wasn't like that at all at all but me. it was like yo dad can I get some money he was like yeah, like go wash my car I'll give you 20 bucks Wow wow you know what I mean like it wasn't like that like it wasn't like that. like not only did they not spoil me bro bro, why do you think? wow wow bro.

that seems like a Dodge and it teaches kid financial literacy and responsibility. What the you know what I mean like it wasn't like that. like it wasn't like that. Like not only did they not spoil me, but they went to like far length to make sure like that.

I was like as normal as possible Chet Swears he wasn't spoiled and had to work for everything he has. However, people had a preconceived notion that he was a rich brat automatically disliking him. but the people that were nice to him. he felt that it was only because he was the son of Tom Hanks Either way, Chet felt like the entire world was against him.

His rebellion was smoking weed, listening to rap music, and being the antithesis of his father. When his parents caught him, they didn't discipline him themselves. Instead, they sent him away to a Wilderness Program for troubled teens second nature and Trotto was a troubled teen. Therapy Program Located in Santa Clara Utah Wilderness Therapy programs are a major part of the multi-billion dollar troubled teen industry, which also includes therapeutic boarding schools and residential treatment centers.

These programs are actually I Heard from somebody else that went in one of these programs. He said that maybe he was wrong so that most people that go there are are court ordered to go there right? because they do something bad. When they're young, there's some sort of crime, whatever, and they're like Yo dude like send your kid to one of these things or something like that, right? or whatever. the that? That's what you said it.

maybe I'm wrong though. which also includes therapeutic boarding schools and residential treatment centers. These programs are designed for adolescents struggling with issues like drug dependency, depression, poor grades, low self-confidence suicide, and eating disorders as the name suggests. Wilderness Therapy combines counseling and Wilderness experience like hiking, camping, and other outdoor recreation activities at the program.

Chet was forced to do manual labor in the remote Wilderness He said he never knew when he was supposed to leave the camp. it's extremely uncomfortable. It's not like camping, it was like designed to be as harsh as possible. yeah, themselves a terrible reputation over the years.

The main philosophy of the TTI is that teens need to be isolated and broken in order for them to improve and this is done by making right when I was really young and I kind of felt like crying a little bit because right? I don't know why I don't know why? Okay, okay I don't know man. like being being like away from home or something somebody else I don't know why it's common apparently. Okay, so not only being in another place, not being even near your parents or remotely close, and not knowing when you're gonna sit or whatever, it must be kind of. It must have Kind of tough though.

dude. like never dissipating humidity, group activities, forcing them into manual labor, giving them small amounts of food, and threatening them with violence. The program that Chet went to Second Nature decided to Rebrand to evoke therapy programs after a staggering amount of lawsuits. One claiming that a child was unable to bathe themselves for eight weeks.

One saying a child is sleeping under a tarp in freezing snow. One child said that she was held in solitary confinement, one parent was denied communication. She didn't even know if her child was alive. That doesn't sound real.

Okay, Again, yes, if you sleep, if you sleep under a tarp, in in the cold snow, you're not waking up on it. Okay, you're You're waking up blue and you're missing half your limbs. You know all your limbs. you're dead.

Five, There is a very extensive second nature and every other Wilderness Therapy Program In the United States Chet said this program did not do any good for him. He wanted to go harder, party harder, do harder drugs to make up for lost time. He spiraled for years I hated my life and I felt like a gum I felt like a loser that didn't last very long that that didn't last very long because was in that time period that I found out I was having a daughter Chet's girlfriend at the time Tiffany Miles revealed to him that she was pregnant. Immediately, his whole mindset shifted.

He realized he needed to get sober, take responsibility for his actions, and get a real job so his daughter can have a good life. He tried another go at music. this time he started a Duo alongside Drew Arthur called Ftrz. They released two singles models in nowhere land as well as the ocean.

Parking probably went relatively unnoticed and Chet knew his best chance for a real career was not in music, but rather following the family name into the world of acting. He landed a few one-off roles in Marin Tails and Curb Your Enthusiasm before landing more permanent spots and two hit TV shows Shameless and Empire Empire provided him with enough money and stability to provide for his family. And believe it or not, Chet is actually a decent actor must be in his blood. He's particularly exceptional at acting like a Jamaican man and in 2020, the world got to see his talent pick up the whole island.

Massive! It's a boy from The Golden Globe of the awards president. This took place on the red carpet of the 77th Annual Golden Globes where Tom Hanks was accepting the Cecil B Demille award for his impact on the industry as an actor, producer, writer, and director. Sadly for Hollywood, nobody cared about the awards. Only two things were being talked about that night: one host Ricky Gervais absolutely roasting the audience for three hours straight and two chat Hanks speaking Patois The internet was on fire.

calling him cringy, racist, and a cultural appropriator, He responded to the criticism with the second video on Instagram outside a smoothie shop in L.A Kingston and we wake up this morning and we see the thing tunnel internet gone mad. Respect: You don't know the so far what I got Chet was loving it and he kept feeding into the memes. Okay guys, stop, It's not my best to talk about another case. I'm not okay but I think I I think it's like you could say it's cringe or whatever funny is I think it's funny.

Okay, but I think going as far as it's a race essentially like that I don't know if I would go that far but I guess I guess people can people can despite the outrage many Native Jamaicans thought it was hilarious and were not angry. the money just having fun man. He even got an acting role for one episode on Atlanta because of his fake accent. Guys: Yes, because if people like, like to like, actually try and do like the accident of another spot on another plate, that's fine.

People do that to like UK and a bunch of other places to do what. Why is is some more bad in others? You have to kind of in my opinion if somebody's actually trying not making fun of it deliberately right I think I Think it's all fine or it's none of it's fine. I think that's kind of a good approach to it. Grow up in Trinidad or Jamaica is Trinidad and Tobago you know I'm from Tribeca However, Tom never spoke about his son's dreams of being Jamaican Chet was feeling Unstoppable and he made an announcement on Instagram that hyped up all white boys around the world look I just wanted to tap in really quick I Just got this feeling man um that this summer is a it's about to be a white boy summer.

Others took offense to the phrase, especially since Chet had already garnered criticism for appropriating Black Culture in the past and a video posted a few days later Chet clarified. you know, oh my God.

Well bro. wait, it can't do any culture then I mean what do they want to do? They want to do like what? like sign language? at this point having any ill will or Prejudice towards anybody from a different background race Walk of Life than you chat. Capitalize on the controversy by releasing a song which is his most successful song of all time as well as releasing a line of merchandise which included hoodies, t-shirts shorts called out the gothic style font placed on the merchandise as it resembled a font used by white nationalists. He also launched a line of Black Queen summer merchandise using the same font I Want to see some white boys and some black queens wearing each other's shirts? However, white boy Summer was about to come to a screeching halt before it started and his girlfriend Kiana Parker in the middle of a domestic altercation hit the internet.

This just attacks me with a knife. Exactly the knife? No no. Chet claims that Parker attacked him with a knife, stole his belongings, and charged thousands of dollars on his credit cards. The pair reportedly began seeing one another in March of 2019, but split in January 2021 when Parker got arrested alleging that he threw a bottle at her and said no one would believe her because she's quote a ghetto black Hanks denied any abuse and later filed a lawsuit against Parker for assault, battery and theft Parker told a different story and claimed that Chet threatened her with a knife when she showed up at his home with movers to collect her things.

She also claimed that Chet pushed her and attacked her outside not offended. what did they say and he's leaving it I said bro these all words I don't know what happened with this I'm I'm letting it play out right Chet's attorneys told media Outlets her claims are completely false, fabricated and fictional. Come April of 2021 Parker Filed a 1 million lawsuit against Chet Her lawyers accused Chet of making a mockery of black women in the criminal justice system by proclaiming that it's going to be a white boy summer and a black queen summer while knowing he mentally and physically abused a black queen. Chet As okay.

Okay, these guys must lack actual structure in their claims I Mean guys. I'm gonna pick a limb here and say that they're they're what they actually have and someone must be so slim to have that at the top of it to be attacked. To put this on, that's like a black queen summer. Well, nobody.

Yeah, maybe. I don't know what I'm talking about I don't know Chet has continued to deny all allegations of abuse and as of right now the case is still in process. Kiana even tried to make Tom Hanks a witness claiming he provided a Healer for her who has not been named during this whole time. Tom has never spoken about Chet's alleged abuse Chet Decided to end his white boy summer with a statement about the vaccine.

Well, I'm gonna get the vaccine. First things: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I Never had covet. Yeah, he's sticking me with that needle.

A man called Otto is his newest film where his other son Truman was chosen for the lead role. The most recent videos this guy and Tom is at this Dodgers game singing Take Me Out to the Ball Game Chet says that his dad loves and supports him.

Most people who say that Tom is embarrassed by Chet are just guessing. it's actually Tom's silence that draws him criticism. He has been sort of the innocent, nice guy his whole career. literally 80 of the time that people call out cultural population on Twitter or anywhere.

Dude, it ends up that the culture that they were taken from actually they didn't get it right. It's another one and the one that they're saying it's stolen from. actually they only from the other one. And the point, we don't even know what's going on anymore.

Dude, she's a lack of controversy and always positive attitude. Makes people think that he is secretly hiding something. More specifically, conspiracy theorists think he is a part of the Q Anon Global child sex trafficking ring. They point to Tom's Instagram where he often posts photos of people's gloves, children's socks, shoes, and pacifiers.

They say Tom is hiding in plain sight leaving a trace of evidence for his crimes. Plus, he has the comments disabled making it look even more suspicious. Chet has actually addressed this on the Impulsive podcast like this is the like It's really funny because like I saw this like with the conspiracy there's like these are the gloves of the abducted children. It's like dude my dad like was doing that glove because he's like trolling Instagrams right? and like he kept on like seeing like gloves on the ground because people like rose their clubs on a coat or something.

Celebrity Status However, Chet has not earned his own Fame He still has big shoes to fill the harsh reality is true.
