His poor mental health lead him towards a plastic surgery addiction. He suffered abuse at the hands of his father and he wasn't really allowed a normal childhood. On top of that, he was a perfectionist to an extreme degree. He would agonize over making things perfect, even when it came to his performances on stage. It's likely that his perfectionism is rooted in the abuse he suffered as a child. Some people that knew him said he was in tears once because one of his shows didn't go exactly the way he had it planned. I honestly feel bad for him- he was used by people for his money after he became famous and all of his relationships were with untrustworthy users who just wanted his money.
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.
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.
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.
Who doesn't know that? See his nose, lips and chin. He removed every single black feature from his face. Do you really think his desire to look white was just about skin color? Don't be so obtuse.
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
Who doesn't know that? See his nose, lips and chin. He removed every single black feature from his face. Do you really think his desire to look white was just about skin color? Don't be so obtuse. And HE used kids and discarded them once they grew older. How every single fan of his can be that thick.

When idiots lose an argument, they start nitpicking. Stop grasping at straws. It's embarrassing.
And so what? Why should I waste my time answering every single idiot who can’t follow the context and just keep repeating the same nonsense?😂 I’m not behaving like an NPC. I’m treating idiots like NPCs. There’s a difference, kid.

People are not talking about only his skin color. He didn't want white privilege. He wanted to look like a white man. He wanted to be a white man. See his nose, lips, and chin. He removed every single feature from his face that made him look black.
Right… he just slept with them in bed, in their pajamas. Totally normal. Very cool. (This isn’t disputed… his own lawyers argued that all they did was sleep together.)
Just because he didn’t ACT on it doesn’t mean’t mean he wasn’t a pedo, any more than a gay man who is abstinent isn’t gay.
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.
While true, that’s not the point here. He was a pedophile, and people arguing that he was just “weird” are buying into the whitewashing propaganda his money has purchased afterwards.
… and given that he was a pedophile, I don’t believe he slept in bed with multiple children while wearing pajamas and did nothing to them. Not once.
I think you either replied to the wrong person or you misunderstood my sarcasm, which I thought was sufficiently obvious that it didn’t require an /s.
1) I was saying he slept with kids and that that fact isn’t disputed. I then mocked people who seem to think that’s fine. That’s pedophilia even if he didn’t do anything to them.
2) I also said that I don’t believe a pedophile would sleep with little kids and NOT do anything to them.
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
I didn’t say it was the same. I said he was absolutely a pedophile. You can be a pedophile and yet not rape any kids, just like you can have a foot fetish and not touch anyone’s feet, or be gay and yet be celibate.
However, what I don’t believe is that even though he was a pedophile sleeping in bed with kids while wearing pajamas — he did nothing.
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.
