What I find Bizarre and stupid is how they say nothing about the girls he hanged around with, so I guess if people think you're a paedophile it doesn't matter if you spend time with any little girls as apparently you only molest little boys :crazy: .

Surely if they genuinely thought he was dangerous they wouldn't let ANY kids around him .

That's like saying men were safe around jack the ripper just because he had a thing for killing women :bored: . Their logic is flawed.

MJ went about things the wrong way ,but I truly believe he was naive and as he didn't have a proper childhood he was trying to relive that. If he was this "evil monster" people paint Jim as then they'd try and bring him to justice instead of trying to extort money from him.

Macaulay cullin spent a hell of alot of time with him and do did other children and they say nothing happened. They all have happy memories plus his Neverland home was filled with cameras and staff .

He was investigated for 10 years and all clear .

Do you think celebs/famous people are all treated the same by the media and the public?

Just as an example the way Caroline Flack or Roxanne palette were shown in the media and the publics response compared to say Ant Mcpartlin

But it also depends what their scandal is and who the person is , Caroline was under scrutiny for the domestic abuse thing, Roxanne literally tried to ruin someone's life on TV :facepalm:.

Ant embarrassed himself and put others in danger on the road,but he got help and is doing well and he's popular .

I find it disgusting how Alexandra Burke got treated on strictly yet she did nothing wrong, Cliff Richard & MJ were cleared yet people still call them horrible things .

MJ's death changed nothing and he still gets his reputation tarnished .

They don't care about the little girls that stayed with him or spent time with him, yet they paint him as this "serial paedophile" who can't control himself :crazy: .

Why did all the accusers want money? :whistle: , they cared more about that than anything else.

Well we've already had this debate over and over at the time of documentary. I disagree with your points of view on it but I don't want to turn this whole topic into another MJ thread and get off the topic completely

My view is that Ant was treated with a little more compassion; there was more talk about his mental health and his alcoholism, there seemed to be more empathy for him. Whereas the immediate knee-jerk reaction after Caroline's arrest was more focused on hoping she wouldn't be let off a domestic violence charge just because she's a woman. As far as I remember, most of the venom towards Ant online was from his ex-wife.

I might have that wrong, but it;s my take on it.

..


Im positive the stats would prove this to be true as well.

Okay fine but if you think someone is a serial child molester you wouldn't let ANY kids around him. No matter what his fetish is.

There was footage of MJ holding a little girl , and a reporter deliberately LIED and said he was bouncing a little boy on his knee instead :crazy: . And she tried to twist it into something innapropriate.
