Stephen Collins, a former star of the hit TV show “7th Heaven,” has come under fire for allegedly confessing to child molestation.

However, in 2000, Collins was criticizing his co-star Jessica Biel for posing topless while underage.

During an interview with the New York Daily News, Collins condemned Biel’s photo shoot with Gear magazine, calling it “child pornography.”

He pointed out that Biel was only 17 years old at the time, a minor, and expressed concern about the message such photos could send to young people.

“The press has gotten Jessica Biel’s age wrong in their recent stories about her,” Collins said at the time.

“And as such, Jessica’s photo spread was child pornography. I don’t want my kid to get the message that that’s okay.”

In the controversial photos, Biel posed wearing only tan booty shorts, with her arms covering her breasts.

A year later, Biel expressed regret for the spread in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, saying it was a “really bad decision” and that she had gotten involved with people who were more interested in creating a story than looking out for her.

Fast forward 14 years, and Collins is now the one making headlines for his alleged confession of inappropriate conduct with underage girls.

In audio tapes released by TMZ, Collins can be heard discussing contact with multiple female children, including saying, “There was one moment of touching where her hand, I put her hand on my penis.”

Biel has not yet commented on the news, but other “7th Heaven” cast members have spoken out in support of Collins.

Catherine Hicks, who played Collins’ on-screen wife, told TMZ that she had “nothing to say, nothing to hide,” and that she didn’t know anything about the situation.

Kyle Searles, who played recurring character Mac, said that Collins was like a “father figure” to him.

The allegations against Collins have led to repercussions for his career, with networks removing episodes of “7th Heaven” from their schedules and Collins being fired from the movie “Ted 2.” Collins has since apologized for his actions, saying in a statement that he had “acted inappropriately” and that he was “deeply sorry.”

However, the controversy has continued to follow him, with the release of the audio tapes sparking renewed outrage.

Biel, for her part, has largely stayed out of the public eye in recent years, focusing on her acting career and her family.

She has been married to Justin Timberlake since 2012 and has two children with him.

Collins’ alleged confession has brought renewed attention to the issue of child molestation and sexual abuse, particularly in the entertainment industry.

Many have criticized the industry’s culture of silence and complicity, with some calling for greater transparency and accountability.

As the fallout from Collins’ allegations continues, it remains to be seen how the industry will respond and what impact the scandal will have on the wider conversation around sexual abuse and harassment.
