As I've said before it seems to take death especially suicide for people to suddenly think, oh no they were treated badly

.
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

.
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 .
