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?

      Were you there? If so, hi epstein.

      Allegations are easy to make, watch this: Keen flame rapes dolphins who dress too sexy.

      What you have in common with MJ now is no court has convicted either of you.

        Wow, talk about a high horse to draw the line somewhere beyond not inserting a penis into a child traumatizing them for life
