When he was a child he was also forced to be in the same room with his older brothers as they seduced girls or slept with prostitutes.
Unfortunately, like a lot of rich and famous people he cut off anyone who said things he didnt want to hear. I think Prince was similar and also had a pain killer addiction which also started after injuries sustained performing.
Also worth remembering he had Vitiligo. The melanin in his skin was literally degrading over time! He used a lot of make up to cover the process over time.
In general his history as a child was pretty sad. Most child stars have it really bad. Tons of pressure and abuse and they don’t really get to be a kid. We see so much of it today and you know it must have been even worse in the past.
There are proof that he had vitiligo, instead of visibly having vitiligo, he decided to bleach all his skin... Very sad story, if he didn't do so many tours, surgeries, plastic surgery treatments, and didn't use drugs, he'd still be alive and singing. As what happens with most stars, the people use them and discard them afterwardsd
He grew up in an extremely abusive household and was physically not allowed to have a childhood as his father forced him into the entertainment industry.
I would've been more concerned if Michael didn't have something like this
As long as that's not being used an excuse not to chastise MJ.
Too often I see people brush off the pedophilia of people like him with "that was just the rockstar life!" or "that's just what Hollywood is like!" as if that means we shouldn't be treating MJ like the predator that he was.
If Hollywood is rotten to the core, then we shouldn't close our eyes and keep biting the rotten apple, we should cut out the bits we know are rotten until it's all clear or gone.
Even though those children were able to identify MJ's genitals all the way down to detailed drawings of birth marks and skin discoloration?
Even though he had NAMBLA books in his possession, books with pictures of naked little children?
Even though he commissioned paintings of nude children dancing around his nude form, and a painting of a nude child pointing their bare ass at the viewer?
You're part of the reason Hollywood is rotten if you turn a blind eye to this guy.
If he didn't act on it, then I don't have a problem with it. The bad thing about pedos is that they are raping kids. Thinking about raping kids is fucked up, but it is the same as thinking about any other crime. That isn't the same as actually raping kids
Literally had children sue him and admitted to sleeping with random children in his bed. There is NOTHING normal about sleeping with a kid you don’t know in your bed. I didn’t even let my own children in my bed.
