The same sort of treatment for MJ would have you going mad...


Sorry mate, but you're not being even handed here.

When did I disagree exactly??? , I already know the nasty things papers print about celebrities. When did I say it was ok? .

And when that mj mockumentary was done last year you forgotten the hate he got?, that's why I'm saying even in death some people still get their name dragged through mud and I find it disgusting.

Well that's how the first para of your post sounded to me. Have another look.
Apologies if you didn't mean it.

People's reputations get destroyed , accusations get thrown around and they stick.

2S the point I'm making is a few of us hear a story and we make judgements, we hear Caroline was arrested and the whole domestic violence thing and we form an opinion. Even the people who thought she was violent were still saying "if" as we didn't know the full ins and outs.

I already said after she died that we were not hearing the full story ,and we'll probably never really know what was happening. All we know is her mental health was suffering. But the police being involved , obviously shows things were out of hand.

I've always hated newspapers like the sun , people are confused why her boyfriend and people like Schofield sell stories to papers like that.

My bad. I get it now what you meant. Completely agree.

tbf Goldheart acting like MJ got unfair and unrealistic backlash is nonsense. Even if you don't believe that he abused young boys, you can't deny he had really weird and inappropriate relationships with them. He's not really a great example of unwarranted attention imo

i think it very much depends on who the celeb knows and how much power/money/ influence they have. The same as applies in all other aspects of life

For me, the most obvious recent example is prince Andrew ... there are a few minor mutterings, but it would take an earthquake for something to happen to him

Conversely, Meghan and Harry don't have anything like the same power and influence ... need i say more?

Donald Trump gets a few minor mutterings, but his behaviour has been despicable for decades ... not just during his time as president

Minor celebs that haven't built up their power/influence will always be the first to fall

The media attacked MJ for his voice, body, face , skin & sexuality.

For the millionth time it wasn't just boys he spent time with , that was a dumb narrative pushed to accuse him of being "creepy paedophile with a boy fetishi" which again is offensive . They tried to out him from the closest, even though he clearly liked women.

What I find Bizarre and stupid is how they say nothing about the girls he hung 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 .

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 . 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 culkin spent a hell of alot of time with him and so 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 .

That's like saying of a rapist, well he never raped his neighbour Mary so therefore he couldn't have raped anyone. That's not a good argument

Not really as if you thought someone was dangerous you wouldn't let anyone near him . He had the biggest target on his back and made silly mistakes by letting children into his home to stay.

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 .

Why did all the accusers want money? , 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

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 . And she tried to twist it into something innapropriate.
