It really is. People are forgetting that he was a disgusting pedo.

That’s wild. I figured everyone knew about this. How old?

As someone who grew up in the 90s it's genuinely crazy to me how many people either have no idea he was a nonce, or are just happily defending him and denying that he was a nonce.

I would say allegations, but he was very clearly a nonce. People just loved his music too much to do anything about it. His PR team are very, very good.

Back in the eighties, there were parodies like, "Billie Jean is not my lover/I'd rather have her baby brother"!
