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 .

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 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 .
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

As far as the public is concerned it's just about always women slagging famous women off for no other reason than jealousy.

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
He was Drunk Driving
No One Died.

Nothing like that sad star of ITV who Hanged herself

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.

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 .
MJ in particular was treated awfully by the press even before any allegations ,so much so he wrote a song about it (Leave me Alone) poor guy could not breathe for so many vile stories.

Without the media, these celebrities wouldn't be celebrities. They sell their souls for Yankee Dollar, they know what it's all about.

So no men "slagged" Caroline Flack off, it was all just women? Don't be ridiculous. More sexism to add to the mix though.

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

Exactly it was horrible, even when he died they still kept talking about his face and his death body .

And then last year those idiots go and make a mockumentary propaganda movie accusing him , they just won't leave him alone even in death .

There seems to be more money to be made in tearing down women. They also get nitpicked at more especially when it comes to appearance.

Definitely not.

But it also depends on whether the reporters choose to slant a story from a more compassionate or a more disparaging angle.

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.

I might have that wrong, but it;s my take on it.
Just from daily mail when I've scanned Ant stories in the past the comments are full of hate for his (now ex) mrs rather than him. Despite, apart from the facts of Ant's addiction and drink driving conviction we don't actually know anything about the circumstances of their relationship really. But she got immediate hate for "not supporting him". People can be crazy.

Perhaps they did after she allegedly assaulted her partner..but in general it does come across on social.media that it's mainly women slagging of famous women
..


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

Mostly blokes commenting originally that "if that were a man they'd be locked up" when it came to Caroline. Not sure what that has to do with jealous women.

Think you'll find Jade BEARED THE BRUNT of that. Danielle had zero remorse and had a stupid grin on her face , despite her saying worse remarks .She continued to make TV appearances like nothing happened .

Jo squeezed out a few tears and felt bad . But Jade got all the hate , then when she was diagnosed with terminal cancer people felt sympathy for her.

Who wouldn't though, the parents? Most parents wouldn't for sure, but not all parents are good or smart parents either

You'd have to ask them, how much money they can be bought for.

They couldn't buy me, to be a celebrity, for all the money in the World
