RJ Mitte reveals how he was financially exploited at just 17 while trying to protect his Breaking Bad earnings. “I’ve paid more in taxes than I got from Breaking Bad. As a young kid, I had a big team, traveled the world, and spent money keeping my career going. Everything went back into the business.” A bad business manager made things worse. “During the last four years of my highest-earning series, I wanted to protect my money. I was 17 or 18, and everyone was telling me to get a proper accountant.” Instead, he got scammed. “Dude, I got eaten alive.” He says the woman targeted 14 other actors, including people with disabilities and older performers. “I’d write a check to pay my taxes, and instead of paying them, she’d send me a fake tax filing and keep the money.” He still takes responsibility for what happened. “At the end of the day, though, it was my negligence. The IRS doesn’t really care about you.” 😔 Rip Rj 🕊️
