It’s a movie starring his nephew in the lead role, approved by his estate, and by all accounts it just feels like an attempt to whitewash him. This is a man who was accused of being a serial child molester, settled with a family out of court for $25 million just to avoid a trial (Chandler), and openly admitted he slept in the same bed as kids while he was an adult (Bashir interview), among other things. I don’t really see what there is to debate.
Anything pointing this out gets backlash on movie-related subreddits, which I find wild. It makes me wonder, if Epstein could sing and dance, would he have gotten a biopic too? Would people be defending him like this?
I don’t know shit about Michael Jackson, but if he never had sex with his wife, how did she give birth to his kids? Did they do IVF?
Have you never met a gay guy? They are not attracted to women, that doesn’t mean they aren’t capable of impregnating one. There’s all kinds of ways that can happen, from an altered mental state, to assault, to just “giving in” to a partner, to a fertility doctor, etc…
Sperm donor.
Ah, okay. So he was ace/gay and agreed to be a father to his wife’s bastards? Cool, that’s a really mature attitude. I’m ace and I’m okay with My partners fucking other people. But I don’t know if I’d be willing to raise their kids.
No, he was a pedo who used women as a shield/incubators. Lisa Marie Presley (his first wife) publicly said that they’d fight about having kids & MJ would tell her “Debbie will have them for me then”. It’s not about being gay.
