Bette Davis: The Dark Side of Hollywood’s Fiercest Star

Bette Davis, the iconic American actress, was known for her intense and powerful performances on screen.

But behind the scenes, there was a darker side to the star.

According to her daughter, Barbara Hyman, Davis believed she was a witch and would cast spells on her enemies.

In a recent interview, Hyman revealed that her mother would often sit on her bed and cast spells.

She claimed to have witnessed her mother transform into an “evil, demonic presence.”

These shocking allegations come after the publication of a book by Davis's former personal assistant, Kathryn Sermak, who portrays the star in a more positive light.

Sermak's book, titled “Miss D And Me: Life With The Invincible Bette Davis,” presents the actress as eccentric but possessing a “heart of gold.”

However, Hyman's claims paint a very different picture of her mother.

She alleges that Davis was manipulative, hard-drinking, and emotionally cruel.

Hyman also states that her mother's interest in witchcraft had a negative impact on their family.

She believes that Davis placed a curse on their family when she married at the age of 16.

According to Hyman, this curse led to her son developing bipolar disorder and herself being diagnosed with “terminal” cancer.

The actress's alleged involvement in black magic was known to some of her staff, according to Hyman.

She claims that Davis's employees either assisted her in her occult practices or chose to remain silent about them.

These revelations may seem far-fetched to some, but Hyman insists that they should be taken seriously from a Christian standpoint.

She now runs her own Christian mission and wants to warn others about the dangers of the occult.

Hyman's claims add another layer of complexity to the already tumultuous relationship between mother and daughter.

Their bitter feud began decades ago and has continued even after Davis's death.

Hyman attributes their strained relationship to her traumatic childhood and her mother's neglectful and abusive behavior.

Davis was known for her perfectionism and need for control, which may have contributed to the deterioration of her relationship with her daughter.

Sermak's book highlights Davis's possessiveness and her attempts to mold those around her into her vision of perfection.

Despite the conflicting accounts of Davis's character, one thing is clear: her legacy as one of Hollywood's greatest screen actresses will forever be tarnished by the allegations made by her daughter.

The truth behind these claims may never be fully known, but they serve as a reminder that even the brightest stars can have a dark side.
