As for getting pissed the night before having to testify against his own mother who assaulted him I don't blame him....I would do same if I had the guts and the money to get away with it. He shouldn't have to even attend court, it's giving his abuser the power to make him scared and unhappy all over again...she's a bitch..,he's a legend....

Loving Mr Marco

But it wasn't an abuse case, but a one-off 'assault' according to him, which apparently occurred as she tried to take his coke away from him. This sounds like a worried and frustrated mother trying to make her son see sense and to protect him against himself. Maybe he was 'hurt' as they struggled to get the coke from each other?

However, we don't know the full story as the court case hasn't gone ahead, and we haven't heard the mother's side of the story. How can you judge when you only know one side of the story?

I wonder how you will feel about excusing and defending everything he does if his path of self-destruction- which it sounds like his mother is desperately trying to stop- ends in an Amy Winehouse scenario?

My view is that people who are excusing and condoning his behaviour are enabling and encouraging him to continue with behaviour that is so damaging for him, and that, ironically, that 'support' will contribute to a very unhappy ending for MPW. To me that is so sad.
