‘Laguna Beach’ was banned from filming at Laguna Beach High School
While the cast members of Laguna Beach attended Laguna Beach High School, they were never filmed at school. And there’s a good reason for this. Initially, the Laguna Beach Unified School District board members and MTV had a solid deal. According to the LA Times, the board member initially voted to let MTV film on campus. In return, they were to receive $40,000 for college scholarships and royalties from the reality TV show. However, after Timberlake and Jackson’s performance, they backed out of the deal.
Since MTV was the network responsible for the Super Bowl Halftime show of 2004, parents felt that the network wasn’t prioritizing the safety of children. Thus, they made the decision not to allow the network to film their students on campus. “I just don’t see any way the school can benefit from this or the community,” Ketta Brown, who was the then president of the Laguna Beach High School PTA, shared. “Did you watch the Super Bowl? Let’s put it this way: I would prefer that my children not watch that network.”
