**FAIRFIELD, IA** – A new Discovery+ documentary has reignited the controversy surrounding actor Stephen Collins, the Iowa-native who played the beloved pastor Eric Camden on the long-running television series *7th Heaven*. The six-part series, *Hollywood Demons*, features Collins in its first episode, titled “Stephen Collins, America’s Dad,” detailing allegations of sexual misconduct with underage girls.
Collins, 77, who maintains a home in Fairfield, Iowa, was previously accused of inappropriate behavior with three minors. These accusations came to light in 2014 when TMZ released a recording of Collins confessing to his actions, followed by a statement from Collins admitting to the misconduct.
The documentary includes interviews with individuals impacted by Collins’ actions, including April Price, who alleges Collins exposed himself to her multiple times when she was as young as 13 years old. It also features commentary from Kyle Searles, who played Collins’ on-screen son, Mac, on *7th Heaven*.
The renewed attention on Collins’ past comes with the airing of the documentary on the Max streaming platform. Recent sightings of Collins running errands in Iowa in 2024 have further brought the story back into the public eye. The documentary aims to explore the shocking fall from grace of celebrities who faced accusations of misconduct.
