Michael Jackson, R. Kelly, Kevin Spacey, the list goes on: Can we -- and should we -- separate the art from the artist?

Chat with us in Facebook Messenger. Find out what's happening in the world as it unfolds.Maybe it was when you first heard"Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" and realized little Michael Jackson was all grown up. Or those times the slinky beat of"Billie Jean" propelled you -- and half the club -- onto the dance floor. Or those private moments when you sang along to"Man in the Mirror" and vowed to be a better person.

As a seemingly gentle, childlike man, he inspired a protectiveness in his most fervent fans that continues to this day. "He was my childhood. I grew up thinking he was not of this world or that he was almost superhuman," says Hayley Winter, 35, who lives in Essex, England, and owns all of Jackson's albums."I found out that he had died whilst driving my car, the news came over the radio ... I sobbed all the way home.

What's true, and what's, fantasy. Sick and tired, of people, waiting years, to announce that they were abused. Why not tell immediately. On Michael Jackson, he's no longer here to defend himself. Shame on the parents, that didn't speak up, if it really happened.

No because the work has NOTHING to do with the mans wrong doings and besides Michael Jackson is decease. Let that one rest because HE'S always going to be a legend IJS.

Nmms es el ayuwoki

This is bullshit. We’ve always known this about MJ.

Where are the politicians list

I KNOW MICHAEL JACKSON WAS PROVEN INNOCENT IN A COURT OF LAW AFTER EIGHTEEN MONTHS OF VERY VERY EXTENSIVE INVESTIGATION AND I WILL ALWAYS FIGHT FOR HIS INNOCENCE THEREFORE YES I LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC WITH THE SAME LOVE AND RESPECT AS ALWAYS. MICHAEL JACKSON IS INNOCENT F THE MEDIA

We seem to be ok will not only letting kobebryant live his life but also letting him create his own show, giving him a statue and retiring 2 jerseys in front of the metoo Hollywood! So I guess it’s in the numbers!! hypocrisy

Just know evil is everywhere especially in Hollywood

No real right or wrong answer. But it's hard to separate them honestly. But, the difference here is - MJ isn't here to defend himself and was acquitted.

Where is TRUMP?

Claims about a Deadman who can't speak ....

I don’t know what he did or didn’t do. All I hear right now are allegations. But if a Michael Jackson song comes on, I’m not gonna turn it off

Artists not gods, don't elevate them and do not treat them as faultless.

I strongly disagree with Clint Eastwood's politics, but a huge fan of his movies.

All y'all can kiss my ass I'm listening to RKelly Michael Jackson I'm watching Bill Cosby reruns you tell me what to do I'm not a follower I'm a leader look at all them other white people that did all them rape and Charlie giving people AIDS and s*** 🤔🤨

Any proofs?

Speak for yourself when it comes to Michael and don't put R-Kelly in the same narrative it's disrespectful. This post is garbage

When we watch their films, listen to their music & buy their merchandise, we are showing society that we approve of their actions. We even help abuses to continue. When it comes to child predators, that’s where we MUST draw the line.

Pedophiles

Is this a joke? There are some child molesters out there who are really good accountants, or awesome business owners some are amazing welders and some are super wealthy and hold high office....but really they are child molesters - take this shit story down please.

I’d listen to Michaels music well before I listened to ANYTHING you fakeasfuck maggots had to say.

Sickening.

Did u forget about Elvis Hugh Hefner what’s up with that cnn

Most perverts cannot sing and dance like Mike.

Add CNN to that list...

MJ was a man who never had a true childhood, and therefore never grew up. Attempting to live a childhood he never had, money hungry trash attempted to exploit his kindness for money. It's amazing how the allegations while he were alive were settled for a cash value (1/2)

That's a shame Michael is such an ICON and you have no proof of deception ParisJackson JanetJackson titojackson5 Let this Go!

No. Next question.

PYT is def a no...

Yes

Absolutely yes

Good question. Long answer is if we don’t separate then we probably end up shutting down a vast array of arts out of our lives. Short answer is I don’t know 🤷‍♂️

I still don't believe that shit about Micheal 🖕🖕🖕🖕

Stop playing his crappy music and be done with him already!

No, we should not.

Should we separate rouges from politics?

Should you separate pedophiles from children? Then the answer is Yes!

No. I heard his music at a Red Robin this week and it bothered me. I can’t enjoy his music anymore and i wish it wasn’t played in public places anymore.

Exclude Michael Jackson off this damn list! You media MF’s are going crazy!

I'll listen to it just fine. I'm not watching any of the documentaries.stillafan lethimrestinpeace CNN

How come you left out Trump?

I WILL NEVER STOP LISTENING TO MICHAEL JACKSON OR LOOKING AT THE COSBY SHOW! WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO TALK ABOUT ELVIS PRESLEY!?

Yes

I am sorry. I abhor child molestation but he is dead. I will keep listening to his music

I will always love Michael Jackson and his music . The poor man is dead and gone . Let him and his family Rest In Peace

Someone knew, more than one, this was not a super secret world!

Liberals will. They love their child molesters.

All democrats democratssexualperverts

How about we let people privatey decide for themselves, and those of you who love to make yourselves the arbiters of morality just stfu and get out of the way?

NelsonBermejo Yes we can!!

No, if he molested those boys than he got off easy, those children will never get justice

OMG we all just need to get over all this

I just felt it was time to delete all his songs. It’s working for me. I haven’t died yet.

I didn’t watch the documentary and never will. they need to leave this man alone. Idgaf what they say but mj is not that guy. Let the man Rest In Peace and let’s not act as if these ppl aren’t doing this for the money and fame. Fuck outta here

What about their Chief Harvey Weinstein?

What they have in common is their color, race and creed... For having been the symbol of predation and abuse throughout history, even dead, the 'system' still values them as object of prime delight...

Can we separate CNN from the rest of those who harbor a deep seated hatred for America & who champion a Socialist Agenda? Isn’t that the real question everyone who tunes into this propaganda machine needs to answer?

Difficult question to answer. True statement to say it does cause a consistent thought of “how tragic”each time one visits the art.

Are you saying you don't remember that little boy who sang and danced for our pleasure while other childten laughed and played? Did You Never Love Michael, CNN? He Is Dead Now Didn't You say R.I.P. cnn?

Not if they were not found guilty in court.

I’m not sure, but I know I wouldn’t want to contribute any money to them.

He is dead. Have a bit mercy please

Promoting the art is promoting the artist

Did you stop watching Woody Allen's pictures?

Smh. Listen fakenews these pedophiles along with Roman Polanski need to be vilified more than they were revered .

How's church goin for you?

Every time

Nah

What about the Catholic Church?

No

Charlie Sheen, Rob Lowe, Hugh Heifner,Elvis Presley...

He is still the king of Pop I will always be a fan no matter what the lies is about him

No never if children are victims

Well if you would stop putting these dancing clowns on such a high pedestal he wouldn’t have this problem. Dancers dance, singer sing, that’s it! They are no better than you are I.

Yes! Your talent, gift or job shouldn’t get you a, get out of jail free card.

It's seems that you already have a veredict for MJ. Just 2 remind u that he was unanimously acquitted of all charges by a jury of not his peers and the guys who accusing today, defended him b4. Is CNN becoming yellow press?

Enough is enough. I have known for years michael Jackson was a predator - a child molester who preyed on the vulnerable . I didn’t need a documentary to believe it but hopefully others will finally believe. His music will always be tainted by his evil and disgusting behavior.

No. While I can appreciate their talent, I will not put my dollars in their pockets, and that's what it comes down to. If you buy their album or see their movie, you're making them richer. It's no different from advertisers choosing where to spend their money.

Since Michael is not here to defend and answer these charges I cannot give much weight to them.

Shame on CNN for allowing this nonsense propaganda to continue, tainting MJ’s legacy. MJ will always be one of the greatest human being ever existed in this cruel world. 👎

YES! SEPARATE MUSIC FROM THE ARTIST. They may bring us the music but the music is fueled by society. We thank them for bringing it to us, but if they hadn’t, someone else would have stepped up and taken their place. I love artists for what they do, who they are is another aspect.

Why.........you people are just evil..nope the devil race

keepitinthecloset

R.kelley on the other hand is just gross artistically nd personally and there is an aspect of violence and torture to his actions. He is just effed up.

Yes. For Michael Jackso . Yes. He was an artist. His music, his dancing, were art. His personal life was damaged from the very start and though it is no excuse, he was never allowed to address and receive therapy and treatment for the extreme abuses he received as a child.

I have enjoyed his music through out his career and will continue to listen to his music. Being on the outside looking in I have to say that if these alledge offenses happen he’s not here to defend himself and by no means am I saying they didn’t;It’s now between him and his god.

Yes, we can. We have always separated the artist from their art —writers, musicians and poets etc., particularly when we come to learn of their true selves long after they have been gone.

I think we have to. A song can take you to a memory of a place in time of your life. Be liked to an emotion, a situation. The artist created it, put it into the world then the art effects you regardless of the artist. Its unequivocally linked to culture.

A grown man does not let other peoples kids sleep in his bed. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Yes, I can enjoy MJ’s music and know his past (this accusation been out for a long time). Many people who add beauty to our world are guilty of evil things. The individual should be held accountable for this, but that doesn’t mean they also didn’t add something to the world too.

We ALL knew. The RUMORS screamed what was happening.

I love his music and not his past.. I can separate

His music will always be fantastic, no matter what his personal life was like. We never know a persons demons

If we knew every detail everyone's life, would we ever read any books, watch any movies, listen to any music?

All Democrats. Start with looking in the mirror.

Nope.

In any case it’s usually the kids of careless monsters calling themselves ‘parents’ — who groom & train them to prod ‘live ones’ to get them to offend in order to have them on the hook (where the term “hooker” came from) — who are mistreated. No fan of MJ but those two are goofs

He wasn’t found guilty. Aren’t we considered innocent until found guilty? Read the story of the Australian who contributed to the recent publicity and read his initial transcripts.

Why afford them a luxury that no other profession gets? They’re already treated better than most of them should be.

We have to grow up and accept that the pointy end of art damages the artist. They put so much of themselves into the making. If we want great insightful or joyful creation we have to stop trying to destroy difficult realities

Michael Jackson was speaking out against Sony Music and they killed him. R Kelley probably has shit with his label too...

The SAD thing is.. if a POOR broken down bastard molests/rapes is instant jail time.. if a RICH bastard molests/rapes just pay accordingly and get on with your life. That means: “justice IS NOT for all”... am I wrong

*Billie Jean is not my lover*

This unveiling information after someone is dead when you could have done it when they were alive is either cowardly or opportunistic. If this information was so important then they should have relentlessly pursued revealing then it no matter what was offered. Pointless now

MJ was found NOT guilty by a jury of his peers... if he has beef it’s with the man upstairs now! IMHO This is about MJ’s catalogues!

No

It is rewarding them for horrendous behaviour. They have ruined people's lives.

What about Woody Allen? That’s ok?

I mean come on the ones in the documentary either lied on the stand or lying now. You can’t have it both ways.

They can keep Michael Jackson’s name out their mouth. Until you can show proof of some kind and not heresay stfu. Not one shred of proof!!!!

Wait until they ALL are arrested. Then you can write a book.

Just because your a star. Behind closed doors you could be someone else. Two faces is what we see a lot in the world. Very sad and shame full.

If you can't enjoy Jackson's music anymore, I doubt you ever enjoyed it appropriately. The art is separate from the artist.

It is always difficult to separate art from artist, especially when the artist creates with a persona. Picasso’s work will live on as will MJ’s music but we are so attached to Jackson’s personality that this does, in fact, change his legacy.

I dunno... everyone sure does that to H.P Lovecraft. Joke's on you. I never listened to either of them. Unless saving Space Michael counts.

Thriller never touched a boys booty hole and Ignition (remix) never pissed on a girl. What if the people who created cars, planes, and trains were rapist, you gonna walk everywhere?

Yes... and no. Do I like MJ’s music less? No. Do I want to fund his estate? No.

All liberals..things that make you go hmmmm

This is absolutely disgusting. cnn this is beneath you. Michael Jackson is not here to defend himself against this type of innuendo. In any event the allegations now being made by these 2 men are spurious at best & have already been discredited by their own previous utterances.

Who's we?

I think we have to and many of us have for YEARS already. Unless it’s a personal bridge too far. Up to the individual!

And Hollywood preaches about morals.

Yes. But most artist are flawed like the rest of us. But you can’t discount the talent because of the bad. You have to view them together and enjoy the art and point out the faults.

THIS IS NOT NEW INFORMATION. The people on here wanting to protect a dead person before letting survivors speak their truth are getting tiresome. What exactly are you defending? Their bank accounts?

Eventually, one day we will be able to telepathically know every sin of every person and then we can say to ourselves “That’s horrible!” as we eat the fruit of their labor or toss it for its rotten smell. Until then we just eat the fruit while God judges...

Yes we can ...

That’s a tough call. On one hand I’d say yes that the art is out in the world now and independent of the artist; on the other hand, I don’t know if we can separate the two.

Michael was proven innocent... not only that these people were proven in court to be lying...

Yes . The music is the music. It’s a place & time for everyone to relive their own memories. No matter what happens to the artist. My music is not just mine it’s for everyone.

CNN a sham a shame a disgrace I can no longer trust CNN News

They “said” they lied under Oath. Shouldn’t they go to Jail?

Yes. People still listen to Elvis. What about all the Rock stars and Groupies. Where do we draw the line?

Gonna miss Kevin Spacey! Great actor!

I’ll never listen again

First of all, they haven’t been convicted, it’s horrible that people are assumed guilty because of rumor, risk free accusations & an unquestionably biased movie. On the other side, money & influence have had a free ride in this country for far too long, it’s truly disgusting.

Cheap sucker punch thrown by the accusers. Just a money grab on an easy target.

the REAL question is why are people like matt lauer, kevin spacey, harvey weintstein etc are still NOT LOCKED UP.

Public figures are row models

Art imitates life.

MJ was a pedifile

Anyone who’s been a crime victim (and I mean everyone and any crime type )comes up with that 10 years after, has a hell of a lot to explain. At least in my book that doesn’t add up.

He was a fruit loop in his days after he got older!

He's a nonce

Omg, I've been thinking that as well! I really wish we could. I would want it that way. It's amazing how somethin that allegedly happened yrs&yrs ago can destroy a career today KevinSpacey. He couldn't even film the last season of houseofcards I still haven't watched it😒

MSNBC cnn abc cbs nbc liars or fake news, we can never watch or listen to it again

Every famous personality has a past. It’s coming out now. Hope every one learns this lesson and behave. So that when they become famous...nobody can blame them.

CNN does not believe in innocent until proven guilty

Don't forget WE, the paying public, the 'ordinary' play a role in creating these artist, politicians, public royalty. Holding them to a lower standard, emboldens bad behavior. We the 'ordinary' should hold them to the same standard, not expecting better, or tolerating worse.

Off The Wall is my all time favorite album and tied to memories of my youth. He was beautiful then as it was before the skin bleaching, plastic surgery and child molesting activities so I still am fond of MJ's music from that album and earlier.

Not when it comes to sexual assault

Black women contribute to public hanging of black men AND Hugh Hefner continues to get a big fat pass, He housed hundreds of young girls and taught them how to serve men and degrade themselves. I hate watching this. Suck.

No

No. Because art is not a religion. F these guys.

I will listen and jam to R. Kelly any day anytime

Lets start with rap then country then rock what will ne next childrens music.

Part of boycotting the music of predators is not funding them (or their heirs) by paying for their music.

oh for fuck’s sake. then you were never listening to him the right way to begin with.

Jerry Lee Lewis married his thirteen-year-old cousin not only is he a pedophile but he practiced incest

Love how they now try to throw in a white guy name, Spacey, to try and counter ppl who point out that they only seem to target famous black artists/celebs. 🤣 pathetic

Everyone needs to stop acting like they didn’t know exactly what Jackson was, EVERYONE knew while he was alive and turned the other way. To attack him after he is gone is wrong plain and simple. His music stands on its own at this point.

I will cuz I wasn't stupid to buy into all the lies

Its a shame i love his music so just go with what ever u want

Why not? It’s pretty conducive with the liberal mentality. You’ve managed to separate God from his creation so everything else is fair game right?

Read all of the latest news for this morning. It truly felt like I was reading the National Enquirer. What happened to CNN ! It’s mostly opinion pieces. I understand now where Alyssa_Milano gets her truth. The ChrisCuomo and donlemon hour are much like jerryspringer

To be honest, didn’t work for me with barbra, though. On some level, I still idolize her, but on the other, she’s just too crazy and entitled, and it shows every time she opens her mouth.

I will never stop listening to MJ.

you can add catholic priests to that list

I did separate art from artist. I watched captain marvel and liked it very much. going into the theater, I already knew brielarson was batshit. But as actor, she was great, & that’s all I care about. She’s entitled to her views. I know, bad comparison. She didn’t molest anybody.

Sex with children is not the same as an adult touching up another adult. This headline is cheap and lazy.

I still like Dostoyevsky and Wagner despite their anti-Semitism. Or Chaplin despite his underage sex past.

Where's Elvis Presley?

Is this the same as tearing down statues? Art How can you hold people long dead accountable for today’s mores that are far different. What Micheal did was disgusting but he’s not here to defend himself nor are any of the people whose statues are being removed. I don’t get it

You speak for yourself. I will always listen to MJ! He is innocent, I’m not fooled by that movie.

Such a good question. I can watch Woody’s old films as long as I’m not distracted by what I know. (So many of them have young/old romances and also troublesome gags, even in Hannah.) What I won’t do is pay to see them anymore. Sad but true.

What happen to your fact first slogan? MJ was never convicted. Period. Are you trying to play judge now? That rubbish documentary was incredibly flawed. Shame on you for poor journalism, no difference from Fox.

Add Roman Polanski and Woody Allen and Bryan Singer and...

No

Who is we, because many of us are listening to MJ's music just fine. Actually, we're listening to it more after those two liars and that shameful documentary has the media trying and convicting a dead man.

Pedophiles should be banned from the circle.

Can’t listen to his music, who knows who PYT was about LeavingNeverland

I don’t know, can you?

It's nearly impossible not to. Harvey Weinstein has production credits on half the successful films in the world. Cosby is still in syndication. Etcetera ad nauseam.

I will never stop listening to MJ! Hi is still number one, I can feel other celebrities just envy MJforever

Why do so many white folks get away with crimes worse than Jackson's or Kelly's, who frankly, are being convicted off of accusations. Trump could fuck an entire school of kids, get accused by every last one, and beat the case within the week.

cnn going after deadman now.

Shame on you cnn for encouraging such an article!! I thought you were better than this but apparently any loser off the street can work for you!! Shame!!!

Idgaf

Should you? Yes, but not simply because of this. Can you? No.

CNN created their own identity politics. You made your bed now lie in it. Example: Jim Cary

I will❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😇

THE FBI DROPPED MJ CASE THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER! OPRAH WINFREY I HATE YOU !

Woodie Allen... sometimes the aberrant desires of the artist are right there in he art.

How is Kevin Spacey in the same ball park?

Tried by public? By a documentary about a dead man ? I will listen to him forever

First we need to separate the artist from the public. Then we need to stop covering for rapists and child molesters. Then we can enjoy whatever art we want.

I can’t. I can acknowledge his genius, though.

People should leave mj alone even in death they are still talking nonsense about him .pliz stop

Yes, always.

needs a merger and a rebranding. And when they do, they need to start delivering news.

I seriously had no clue who Michael Jackson was before he died. Gen z

Definitely the art is different from the artist . If the guy who invented penicillins is a pedo would we question the use of it . The art is good don’t feel guilty ! Enjoy it !

Don’t know why everyone is shocked. When this story came out years ago when he had sleepovers at Never Land people knew. What grown man is allowed to have young boys sleep unsupervised at his castle? A rich famous one.

Better not to listen anymore at all; de man verwoestte met zijn pedofilie vele jonge mensen levens!!!

Speak for yourself No evidence

Sadly he is not here to defend himself, but stop listening to MJ's music? that hell NO. And if all copies are to be deleted off the internet, sorry I already bought and download most of his songs. Goodluck.

Oh yes, we can. I could never stand MichaelJackson the person. Yet I can't get enough of his music!

No. Hannahgadsby first showed me that we can't.

How many pedophiles are working at cnn? How many wonen who have not come forward have been/are being violated at cnn?

No, we shouldn’t deprive others of peoples’s art

Extremely irresponsible journalism . You have put Michael on a list of artists that have been accused, but never convicted, of some heinous crimes? By asking whether to separate art from artist, you are implying guilt. Do better.

Yes !!! Sheep 🐑!! These people are !!! Money makers ....so

Hell No

I never cared for Michael Jackson or his music anyway!

It cannot be done. Music is an emotional connection, do the math.

No.

This is so heartbreaking what’s happening to his legacy 🙁

“If you’re a star, they let you do it.”

For all those who support Michael Jackson.... one question.... why does a grown man hang out with little boys? Not little girls.... boys....don’t you think it’s quite odd and disturbing..... why do people fail to acknowledge this.... it’s actually disturbing

To think if they weren’t famous they would have probably have been serial rapist and murders,because the wouldn’t have the money to buy there way out of it.

You need to stop convicting these people in Social Media, using FakeNews Let them have their day in court.

Men need to start having a dialogue about what is happening within.

We cannot,,, bing crosby never did these things,, bring back crooners please

For fuck sake... They raped kids. Kick them to the curb. Art is great and the best part is there is other art to appreciate from non kid rapists.

No

Yes.

We knew all this 25 years ago, no one stopped then, why would it bother them now

Not for me

Yes. Sure.

Why now? For more money maybe. It’s the spoken version recorded of a deceased man against them. He could be another Kevin Spacey or the accusers could be another Jussie Smollett as well. Who knows? There’s no evidence of who the victim really is...

Not everybody’s perfect. But also not everybody is an absolute monster

Yes we should. Asking that question shows a lack of morality and disrespect to the victims

Sure you can, take the artist to jail for a long time, if he is still alive that is, and if people want to listen to his music, well, it's their choice.

I don’t understand what was he found guilty of? Is he here to defend himself? What evidence was presented...he was weird I’ll give you that...I don’t listen to him and could care less I just believe people are innocent until proven guilty! Remember that when a person was innocent

We should add Weinstein and woody Allen movies, the king himself Elvis,etc...

I notice the mainstream local and cable news will not talk about all these females teachers have sex with their students and Sunday school teachers having sex with young boys. this is a sham women's predators are protected , I don't watch this crap.

What kind of question is this? Are humans not complex enough to separate the evil things he did from his music career?

Shit you might as well add QuincyDJones too🤷🏿‍♀️

I wonder...Woody Allen should be in that group...wen him and Mia Farrow was married they adopted a girl and next thing I was reading Woody married her at 14 and had a baby, and nobody DID nothing...Movie industry, Mia divorced him she tried to get the girl Scandal

This isn’t anything shockingly new , strange how people are trying to make it like he’s dead why now But it’s been out there since he was alive . I thought with all this me too movement stuff people want to support the accusers when they come forward ? Why is it that only

Nope. We should not be supporting people who fuck with kids PERIOD!

One less child touching bitch-ass punk on earth! 👍

Why are they saying this now like it’s something new? THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KNOWING THAT THIS GUY WAS SICK.

Please Stop with this Shit!

No, we should all jost keep patronizin’ child molesters.

Mercedes made cars for Hitler. Why is Mercedes allowed to sell they’re cars here? The list is endless.

We should otherwise not many would really stand the light shining on them

Does this mean it's PC-OK to watch Woody Allen films again?

Yes. Apparently money & fame influence decisions as the judicial process moves along & then with juries. Just look at OJ Simpson as a prime example.

Bunch of hypocrites. You listened to him when he was alive and had been accused of this very thing. Now that he is dead it is easy to be outraged.

yes

Remove this. If you want to report on Jussie Smollett, then you need to be critical towards Wade Robson and James Safechuck just the same. They are accused of lying and there's concrete evidence to prove it. Report it.

I’ll stop listening to R kelly and Micheal Jackson. When MFs stop making me sing the national anthem. The man who wrote that makes kels and mike seem like chop liver.

Due process CNN?

The Right Wing finally happy they are not in the entertainment industry. . The Liberals are imploding. 😁🇺🇸

You stupid people refuse to accept the fact that he was investigated for 13 years by the FBI, the LAPD and was tried in a court of law and acquitted. And they found zero. The man is innocent.

I am disgusted that CNN ran with this story and this headline. I get the R Kelly situation, but stop dragging Micheal’s name through the gutter. He’s been dead for 10 years now, isn’t here to defend his name. LEAVE THIS MAN ALONE 🗣🗣

Wth 😡 why are u lumping Michael Jackson in with the rest of these degenerates...in case you missed it he went thru a months long trial in 2005. Not guilty on 14 counts by a jury of none of his peers😠 Perhaps you meant Harvey Weinstein!

Kevin Spacey is not lk MJ & RKelly..these are blackmen: powerful & influential in there careers..Hw do yu know they are guilty?

MichaelJacksonIsInnocent

What about priests and woody Allen?

Leave this man alone.

Waiting on Oprah to do the Harvey Weinstein story / interview with the victims. Hollywood entertainment metoo

Don’t forget him!!!

Add elvis if u wanna be accurate

We should separate the truth from media originating bullshit.

I just don't see why not... Music going bump the same to me... ripmike

MJ MUSIC TODAY, TOMORROW, and FROM NOW ON. Acquitted in a Court of USA.

Yall raped, killed, molested and humiliated our ancestors. Lets keep bringing that up. Since yall want to 'expose' someone. Lets see who really should be erased from history.

Like we separate the news from Journalists? You mean like that?

It is a must road ... MeToo Pedophilia Children

Will we EVER LISTEN TO THE POPE THE SAME AGAIN 😂😭🤷🏾‍♂️🏌🏾‍♂️

The media will not use their power to tear down one of our greatest talents. Everyone has sinned and fallen short of the glory. I'm standing for my black brothers and sisters period. The man is dead. Why dont yall focus on real life matters instead of bringing up old stuff.

In January 1994, Jackson reached a financial settlement for $23,000,000 with the Chandlers and in September a criminal investigation was closed. The allegations affected his public image and commercial standing, and several endorsement deals were canceled.

Where’s the ELVIS DOCUMENTARY HE WAS WITH PRICILLA WHEN SHE WAS ONLY 14

I dont feel its right to assume MJ is guilty since he is not here. Being he was under FBI investigation for 10 years and two raids with nothing found.

when oprah passes the skeleton that will be comming out of that closet is going to be crazy tooo. Everybody has a time when money wont get you out of the eyes of moral social opinion.

These Two Men Where Old Enough. To Come Out. If That Had Happened. Why After Michael Died.thats What You Call, A Real Witch Hunt, Don’t You Think.We Don’t Believe’ Michael Jackson. Did This. What Kind Of People’would Do This Right After Michael Died?

I havent changed my mind about the music, you cannot deny jackson's talent!

R Kelly is accused. Mj payed off parents and had porn mags next to the bed he had kids in with one if their finger prints. Spacey admitted it. Gotta see more evidence of r Kelly before he's grouped with these people.

Yes

The artist? What about all the people, staff, record labels, producers? We’re missing the elephant in the room....

Really throws a wrench in the whole 'believe survivors' thing, doesn't it? This a moral dilemma, not an artistic dilemma. It will be up to the individual who chooses to support or dismiss the alleged 'victims'.

Has anyone noticed that in one month, three black male entertainers are being raked by the media, with two being “retried” for their crimes - R Kelly, Michael Jackson, Jesse Smollett? Has anyone questioned the financial motives by their accusers across all three cases? BET

Cnn has 415 likes, Out of 41 million.fake followers?

Yes

All these Jacko defenders are sick MFer’s!

There seems to be a bias of immediacy...so we judge MJ differently than a singer from the ‘20s. But I think we also view singers differently than film or graphic artists. Rap artists are seen as speaking their own truth, but an actor is only in character.

The art should should stand alone from the artist. The expressive side away from the person.

The wave of blind MJ supporters is quite disturbing... but keep blaming the victims y’all. You hear an album and suddenly you know more about MJs innocence than the 7 year olds being persuaded to shower with him. His own staff testified to his pedophilia. He’s disturbing.

How about just the music they produced after the public at large knew they were molesting children?

My playlist will forever be full of Michael Jackson and R Kelly. I'm not muting anyone just because a bunch of sheep chose to do it. I believe FBI and I believe in letting people deal with the consequences of their choices. I don't give a flying f*ck about any alleged victim.

Don't compare Michael Jackson with these two ..Some bad guys try to make money by spoofing Michael Jackson ..That can't be allowed to happen.. As a fan of Michael Jackson, we have to stand against it..

That depends on whether one thinks ethics and character are important.

I am not defending MJ, but let's be fair he is dead and he is not here to tell his part of the story!!! So please don't put his name on this list.

Cnn mabe you can separate you racist commentators and cnn fake news

🐍...

(This is my personal opinion) If there was no evidence when he was alive and able to speak for himself, why are they attacking a decade after death? Why are problems that have already been dealt with arising now? Why can’t the media just leave people be? Let them Rest In Peace.

Separating Art from the Artist is a QUESTION? In capitalism, your purchase is equal to a vote or advocation. You support and enrich the artist due to his or her work. IF YOU SUPPORT THE ARTIST IN LIVING OR ENJOYING YOU SUPPORT THEIR ACTIONS IN ALL CONTEXT SMARTEN UP AMERICA

All Democrats

Keep trying that Michael Jackson propaganda but the problem is the media had years while he was alive and could defend himself but he is not here and you did not produce when you had the opportunity so L.I.G let it go.

No. The art IS the artist! To separate the two is to be complacent, and thereby, in league with these demons. Their music & dims should be trashes by all who have them, despite their entertaining qualities.

Ian Watkins (Lostprophets singer) was convicted and went to jail. So, sometimes fame can’t keep a person out of jail. Look how long it took Cosby to to be found guilty. The famous are good at surrounding themselves with people that enable their activities.

Wow, another witch hunt to push your ratings. Shameful

As much as I love his music, you cannot separate the two. Asking a molester of children to entertain me is unthinkable.

Yup. Must separate the two. Very wasted talent.

I new MJ was a pedophile just I knew rkelly was one. I didn’t need two well thought out documentary presentations to inform me, yet, they have confirmed what I already believed. KevinSpacey was no surprise either. He has demon written all over his face & built n2 his acting.

I'll listen to michael Jackson the same way. There's no reason not to, just don't like the dude.

I guess guilty until proven innocent only applies if you are white and rich, not black and rich.

Michael is innocent

Don’t forget, Bill Clinton raped Juanita Broderick!

Was this predilection inherent in his personality or a product of his callous, tyrannical upbringing? The nature vs nurture question

You need to keep Michael Jackson out of these.

Cnn msnbc nbc, the list goes on: should we separate real news from fake news?

Like pedophile priests, Michael Jackson was raising eyebrows a long time ago, but because he was Hollywood elite he was untouchable. The biggest atrocity was his being found not guilty.

No logical and educated person would ever stop listening MJ. He is not here to defend himself so everyone is coming out with their own fucking stories. Having said that please remember that he was proved innocent years back regarding this case. Let the man RIP.

Wait, so we all get to convieniently act like we didn’t know for decades that he sexually abused children?

He is dead I'm not worried about the dead I have a life.

Michael Jackson loves little boys. They’re easy to manipulate him to control.

He will always be 'KING OF POP' and will not change.☺🌛🚶🎵✨🙌✨

Lets not forget RobertDeNiro

He was a manipulative pedophile. He used his music to gain sexual access to children by corrupting their parents who were complicit by letting their children sleep with a grown man. What we need is 'Nonce: A musical extravaganza of greed, & credulous hero worship of a pedophile.'

For Christ's sake - only ONE side was heard from that 'documentary' - let the family give theirs before rushing to judgement already! 😡

Everything about this has the stench of colonization. And got the anticipated reaction by colonizers

The success from their art gives the artist the money and power to prey on innocent people ... so, absolutely not.

And since SONY Dropped R KELLY and he doesn't Have Any OWNERSHIP of His Music....I'm not listening to the music....And if his FANS want to really help R KELLY...They wouldn't listen either...WHY SHOULD SONY BENEFIT FROM R KELLY'S MUSIC?

Uh, someone do the math here. If $100M is going to help 50M women - well, I hope so... because that is $2M PER PERSON!!!

Yes, the artist/art are separate from the person and should be judged as such. Just because there was a documentary made doesn’t mean it’s true. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty

No. We would not separate any other individual from their crime, they should be no exception.

Always have separated crimes vs achievements !!! OJ’s NFL records still stands and he remains in the HOF. Pete Rose is still a legend. Why not entertainers? 🤷🏾‍♂️

Says who? Them joker's own lawyer said they were lying.

Everyone knew he was a child molester!!! Its too bad

I suggest separating the music from the artists. I listen to MJ music cause it's good. His personal life is for him and his surroundings. Police is there if he has done anything wrong

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton - SLAVE OWNERS - the list goes on: White men and women have managed to separate their atrocities from their contributions to the United States. Let me know when we discuss canceling them too.

Lots of people covered for them. Because of money🔥🔥🔥

I think D H Lawrence said ‘Trust the tale not the teller’ but it is a really difficult one and thanks for mentioning it.

After Game of Thrones I am going to mute HBO!💯

Why are you repeating the same bullshit that WP is spreading? If these guys are telling the truth, they committed perjury, if not, they are false accussing a dead man...either way, they're lying...

What happen to the ladies with the allegations against the Supreme Court judge? Where is her support? That guy didn’t get rejected! He is sitting on the highest court in the land as an alleged sex offende!

Yes .

The more important question is: can CNN recognize the difference between 2 men charged with a crime by the government vs. 1 man who is the subject of another man's 'Get rich quick scheme?' So far, the answer is no.

Can we — and should we put MJ together along with those other people?

SONY knew 15, 20 yrs AGO that these allegations were made against R KELLY...Why would they continue to work with him and hire the best lawyers to protect him from the LAW? Now his BROKE...And they don't need him anymore...SO they DROP Him from the Label? WHAT MONEY WILL DO?

People can and should listen to their music and appreciate their art (especially if it has personal significance) that being said, money made off of the art after a guilty verdict should be donated to a charity pertinant to the artist’s crimes

Michael Jackson yes. That doesn't apply to everyone. Everyone wasn't Michael Jackson. Everyone isn't iconic. Everyone doesn't have his contact weight and influence.

Just reading the headline and know we do it in politics on both sides of aisle...I would say yes...and it is a sad commentary.

Case by base. Sleeping with underage kids is hard to look past to respect only the art. Easier for me to respect the athleticism of the married golfer who sleeps with multiple legal-age women. I don’t condone either but it’s easier for me to respect the latter’s professional life

Didn’t Donald Trump still become president? People listen to him and watch him everyday!

I see these victims coming forward as an attention grab. They said in court he didn't do anything and he was let go. He is now dead and can't defend himself. They had their day in court let it go!!

Shit I will I was listening to some of his music last night and I will listen to some more of his music today the same way I always have. But I bet you won’t say that about Elvis pedophile ass

We knew what he was when he was alive, don't feign surprise now

How can you erase the true accomplishments of these highly talented people? Their personal lives don’t disqualify them from their God given talents. This doesn’t mean we should condone them. Justice for all!

SONY got all they could get out of R Kelly....once worth over 300 million dollars....Know R Kelly is broke and they don't need him anymore? All the money his made for them over 20yrs...Know they drop him...these allegations were made 15, 20 yrs AGO?

h3h3productions

... never listen to Michael Jackson again/the same way... because con men/women trying to make money and fame. Sad

Can’t do it. I play blues for a living, can’t listen to Clapton because he’s a pompous jerkoff, let alone one of the coarse criminals.

I think if the person is 100 guilty they should be in jail , the average joe in jail doesn't get to make money while they are being punished why should a celebrity.

The answer is an astounding “NO”. The art is the the artist and the two should not be separated.

Not muting MJ or RKelly.

There is not way possible to separate one from another; both chapters abuse and music are the legacy of the artist, it’s more than evident that the artist use his fame as musician to get away and abuse minors and then just pay for their silence, money that he did as musician.

Let the people decide for themselves but if this question is asked include ALL everyone that has / had accusations

If MJ is on, it gets turned up.

The talent was God given, the men were self driven. I respect the talent, but not the man.

Some lovely artwork from Adolf Hitler for everyone to enjoy.

No

Though these posthumous allegations are disturbing, Michael Jackson was acquitted. I will continue to enjoy his classics. R. Kelly on the other hand, belongs in jail!

It’s a shame that a rip artist reputation is miss managed and accused and sentenced by money thirsty mob without any change for him to defend himself, society without morality is doomed to perish

Media is BS, Why now, they are trying to take away everything that Michael worked for all his life.

I'm sorry Michael is not here to defend himself so of course the story gets worse. I don't believe it

Hell Yeah! Micheal is the King 👑

Not shedding any tears over some white boys telling late lies. Gtfoh!

There was no evidence on Michael even after a 10 year investigation on him. He was acquitted 14 times. Also both men have repeatedly changed their stories on what happened which makes them unreliable and also have lawsuits going on with the estate. MJINNOCENT

No evidence only fruitcakes talking shit love his songs

MJ left this world an innocent man without any convictions! Allegations against a dead man who cant defend himself proves nothing! MJ was a great artist his music lives on whether people like it or not he was a legend & they cant take that away no matter how hard they try!

I absolutely adore Adolf Hitler's artwork...he's probably my favorite painter. *rolls eyes so hard that they spin out of their sockets*

And currently in the Catholic church...

You are pathetic, MJ cannot even defend these accusations! This is the Left for ya, first it was John Wayne and now they are going after MJ.

No I cannot separate the artist from the art. The reason is quite simple by paying money 2 them in anyway allows them 2 more easily commit crimes R Kelly and weinstein are prime examples they used those funds 2 manipulate intimidate settle their victims and pay enablers

2)serve more time than Manafort,a convicted enemy of USA for stealing money and working for a foreign enemy from the citizens of the USA and get 47 months! Seems that sentence was proof how well you can separate the criminal from the deed! So why stop listening to their music?

Don’t know about the others but as far as I’m aware there is no new evidence regarding Michael Jackson. It appears to be a media assassination.

Jackson was proven innocent over and over. The last guy who brought this stuff up case was dismissed. If someone claimed that Brandon Griggs,( the writer ) stole their lunch money, without proof she we treat Griggs like a criminal?

Michael Jackson was never convicted of anything and isn’t here to defend himself: this was a one sided documentary and in my opinion the parents are just as guilty for allowing things to happen because they saw there kids and Michael Jackson as a meal ticket.

Why not Americans still play GARY GLITTER at every sporting event... & Gary Glitter got caught red handed with kids... So explain that damn hypocrites

If we continue to listen to their songs or watch their movies, that means it is okay for us if they are criminals. Thats not a good thing🥺they should be punished for what they have done.

I will! He’s been dead almost 10 years. If it was an issue this should have been done before he died, when he could defend himself. The same way R Kelly is being dealt with. Trashtv

The fall of an idol who escaped justice using his fame and fortune to never be punished until his death

The horror... the horror...

I do. I’ll still watch the Cosby show and listen to Michael Jackson and watch the movies. The personal life doesn’t stop me from enjoying the performances. If I cared about that I’d never watch movies, tv or listen to music again. Everyone has skeletons in there closet.

Hello, I never liked him, to much show and not much substance.

People never separate white supremacy when it comes to allowing black people to be equal in the world of financial equality when they want 2 buy property without higher interest rates or choice of where they want to live..or charging Smollett with charges that they surely will(1)

I can’t.

Anyone who didn’t see that Jackson was a perv many years ago is just naive.

Your banner literally says 'Facts First'. Take this down.

You want to since “the artist” is almost always a liberal.

People have separated art from artists for centuries. Go back to the works of Mozart. By all rights, he was. a childish, crass, inconsiderate person, but they celebrated his genius all the same. Everyone has their faults. That’s shouldn’t cancel out their gifts to be shared.

The only people defending him are those who still profit from his estate or have a connection

no...and crap like this is not newsworthy...it is macabre which will always fascinate some, and the weirdos too

Good question. HELL NO!

It's true that broken people make the most amazing pieces of art.These are freaks who have preyed on the young and innocent repeatedly. It's necessary however for society sometimes to draw a line and decide that enough is enough.

The testimony on that HBO documentary “Leaving Neverland” concerning Michael Jackson’s sexual abuse of that one boy was devastating. I’ll never look at Michael Jackson the same way again myself.

How does one draw inspiration?

How about separating Hollywood from politics?

If we can't separate the people from their work, then we should revise our use of most of our modern technology, for what led to their invention often has a somber, if not tragic, history.

A sexual predator is a sexual predator. That is of the highest priority. Anything else they may be or have done doesn’t matter. They are sexual predators.

How can you? I personally cannot.

Can't rape the willing. Those boys LOVED the cockk!

Seedy

Jackson is dead , he doesnt profit from his music anymore just listen to the songs if you enjoy them, just dont try and convince me he was innocent , he no more innocent than OJ

Yes

vallyflair

I would never stop listen to MJ's music!

This is the worst kind of cancer this hit here folks that goes around fucking up others their lives hitting their grieving fam below the belt for some one that’s been killed for his royalty’s and his legacy I’m listening to R kelly his music 🎶 is👍🏽all those ho’s was looking 4💵

How about separating the office of the POTUS from the person as well, ?

Yes because Hollywood should be renamed Pedowood! Insiders report that almost 90% of Pedowood is involved in the exploitation of child and they are involved in trafficking young children!! The bigger question is why the Media has not done their job in exposing the issue?

Actually no. What we need to do is realize the 'hate collective' that enables this kind of at the top allowances to get away with pratically anything even if people are getting hurt. CNN: I would like you to open and listen to 2 seperate presentations of an info theory. idea.

Society created these monsters by putting them on pedestals and created an artificial bubble around them. Of course their sense of reality will become skewed when they are denied nothing. We need to keep them grounded

Definitely we should, these people v gat incredible art in music, they are one ov their kind. When we do what we are doing right now in boycotting their music it's as if we jealous of what they have or had for that matter.

Elvis Presley, Woody Allen,

You forgot to include BillClinton

Keven Spacey should go out the way Jackson did.

Only conservatives can do that

If they stop playing it then you can download them. He will forever be evergreen

It's hard to argue the fact that MJ paid off multiple families to be quiet. Google it since you conven forgot about that. CNN SUCKS

We simply have to separate the art created by the artist--because these are so often just human train wrecks--otherwise, we would lose so much.

Stop it CNN...

What happen to Incentives till proven guilty. I do believe there is some substance to the allegations. Even so the premise must stand

not always, sometimes the artist is such a horrible person you need to abandon the art.

Wasn't that the plan from the beginning to call something that it is not, it is a sick perversion, to think anything else is to be living in a bubble, it's just when that bubble bursts, they know what they're doing is wrong, they're just not willing to admit they're wrong!

Hitler was a painter. Want to collect his art? Of course we can’t separate the art from the artist. The art IS the artist and the artist IS the art. If it wasn’t it wouldn’t be art - it would be a commodity item. No more MJ.

'Is it morally wrong to enjoy his songs? That's a decision each of us must make for ourselves.' 🙄

I love Michael Jacksons music. Not tying to date him

Yeah, Elvis and the 14 yr old. This goes waaay back

the court already ruled that michael was NOT guilty of all the charges. what the fuck you all want some more? dig him up and charge him again? this is how ugly the world is. how come no one ask how much those scums were paid for their 'stories'?

We have to try to separate the art from the artist. But I’ll never watch another Woody Allen movie. On the other hand, you’ll have to pry my Hitchcock collection from my cold dead fingers.

Parents ppl parents.

You don't know the personal life of a lot of artists so just enjoy the music.

Stop always suggesting censorship.that's why you are not real news, because real reporter's would protect the first amendment at all costs! And your liars! POTUS realDonaldTrump when can we get real news! Like SGTreport intheMatrixxx DiamondandSilk JustInformU

Thanks liberals Kind of backfired didn't it? Trying to get Trump.

Not sure, but we should definitely keep mindlessly arguing about this

I do not know if Michael Jackson is what everybody is saying, but I do know the man is dead and it is a one-sided story.

I don't know how you can. I know I will never hear 'I Believe I Can Fly' again without thinking of some poor girl having to get R. Kelly's permission to go to the bathroom. And that's one of the milder images it evokes. He has ruined his music for me.

I will always listen to Michael Jackson's songs!👍 I will always remember him as the Same Good Hearted person every time I hear and see his talent, his music ❤RIP Michael Jackson

Not when the artists preach values

Was MJ not found NOT guilty after trial? Surely that proves more than a 2 hour documentary with an agenda? I believe in due process. If someone is convicted of a crime, then we can criticise, but until then I always thought we were innocent until proven guilty.

Rest in peace Mj

I can! If course, in the case of kelly and spacey, I never liked their 'art' in the first place!

We were bewitched by his star power and saw only what we wanted to see. Much in the same way Trump followers are today. But this changed everything. The spell has broken for me and I can never listen to his music without feeling revolt.

The art is separate from the man... no matter the crimes we can't overlook the fact that the music touched lives, the dance moves gave people careers and also saved people. The music must live on..MusicIsLife godisgood

Why should I be bothered by some unproven allegations against Michael Jackson? Because if he would have molested any child at all, it would have been proven in court right?

Demands on how egregious the offense, the degree of proof and the level of hypocrisy.

I know I have to hear ppl scream color, but Spacey's hitting on a kid that lied about his age is far, far less disturbing than the other two.

After years why now because he still number one in his art

Not for pedophiles

It’s a personal preference. There’s no blanket answer due to the myriad of factors.

Notice the creepy looking picture of MJ. Not fair. The American justice system found him not guilty. Leave it alone. Gee Wiz.

You don't the personal life of a lot of artists so just enjoy the music.

MJ was cleared and acquitted. He’s not here to refute the lies and negativity now. Keep him out of it.

Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, John Lennon. Keep going.

Yes!!!! In Jackson’s case, the MD was used as a scapegoat and lost his license to practice . For what?

Haven’t watched a Mel Gibson movie since his anti Semitic rants.

The artist is the art you can't separate

How? Let's stop for a minute to think abt what has served as 'inspiration' for these artists? From MJ to R Kelly, doesnt their inherent personality/characteristic form an intrinsic part of the music they deliver?

One of these things is not like the other one of these men are innocent

It's their 'art'. The answer is 'no'. Sorry. As much as I would like to kick a child molester's ass, I don't think you can separate the art from artist.

Can you & should you separate the art of Charles Manson from the artist? For CNN to even ask this question is pathetic & shows no caring for the abused children.

Moral standards can never be short change for life. No matter how perfect the art, evil will rub it of its glory if mixed together.

It's fine to listen to the work he did when he himself was a juvenile: 'Oh baby give me one more chance...' Or the 'Off The Wall' album, maybe. Everything he did after 1979 is tainted.

Please, don’t add MJ to the list. The other personalities you named were found guilty with actual proof in court. MJ wasn’t. Just because a one-sided documentary was made, that doesn’t make him automatically and factually guilty. He can’t even defend himself. MJInnocent

But we can wait for investigations to be done then make conclusions

I still going to listen to Micheal music

Why should we believe the allegations and take for granted ?

I’d say we should make the distinction. Not saying I can always do that though. But often partially.

It’s not art versus artist....It’s public perception versus true identity....We don’t “know” these people yet we judge them based on their art....then judge them again based on their true identity once revealed and our disappointment over the two.....

What about Harvey Weinstein, Woody Allen, and Ted Nugent? Will you be able to watch their movies and listen to their music the same way again? FirstThem

MJ isn’t really news, he was in court many times but since it was the king of pop, he was never getting charged with the lawyers he had!

the moral of this unfortunate fiasco is, don't ever be kind cos it will bite you back. the world doesn't deserve michael, especially the 'mighty' usa

Spscey maybe seperate, maybe R Kelly, but not Jackson. He was dating 7 year olds.

I may. I wasn’t living in denial 30 years ago when these stories were first told. I recognized that MJ was a person I would not leave alone with my kids but he was still the greatest pop star ever.

Its mostly a question of 'can' we separate it. With Jackson, it seems hard to do. But from what we know .. Leonardo da Vinci had sexual relation with minor(s), too - yet, we hardly question his contribution to art at all.

Or do you burn it all ... Truly a spiritual dilemma

Thinking that way is totally nonsense! I mean, could you prove that he really did it?

The royalties of his music should go to charities focussing on child abuse

So you’ve condemned him based on consistent changing testimony of two money grabbing no marks? So your judiciary, FBI investigation all useless the innocent on all counts verdict is a lie then? Why have faith in judiciary then? Stupid gullible humans

Priscilla was 14 when she started dating Elvis Presley . Look how the white media is makin it romantic..had he been muslim what wud that make him?

Reagan Judge Ellis's Sweetheart deal with Manafort, Republican Special Persecutor Ken Starr's sweet deal for Serial Child Molester/Trump Billionaire Buddy Jeffrey Epstein, apparently Reagan ordered FBI to drop investigation of Michael Jackson and child molestation in 1980's.

Yes we will

I don’t believe the MichaelJackson or KevinSpacey alleged victim(s). Kevin’s asking for phone records. Self incrimination? I thinK NOT. MJ’s alleged victim. 👎🏼! I’m not believing an allegation simply because it’s 2019 and ’s are continuing to trend. Show facts not fiction.

If you look at the old literary masters and mistresses, they were the same. You have to separate the art.

jacko kingofthepedos

...Donald Trump

The Art is separate from the person.💯

Elvis ?

From what do you start with?

No evidence on MJ. Keep moon walking to his tunes

No

It is not about them, it is about the victims, the families, the lives destroyed. To focus on them is doing an injustice to the victims.

Don't include michaeljackson he is innocent

of course, just if it is not touches your personally - music is more important, oh wait?

Nope, I never understood the fascination in the first place.

Pirate versions then! Bad X Bad = Good!

The should not be separated. Sick people. No excuses.

I can't seperate the person from their art, athletic prowess, etc. To me, its one and the same. Not saying its right, its just how I feel about it.

He was never found guilty of anything. Now y’all wait til he’s 6 feet under. FOH

The art is separate from the person..Bill Cosby, Micheal Jackson, Kevin Spacey , ETC....

Art doesn't belong to a particular person

Don’t forget Mohammed

hideous revelations!

Some people can some people cant that's peoples choice and we shouldn't be debating the merit of someones morals because they can listen to music or watch a movie while acknowledging said person might be a bad person 🤷‍♂️

and most of the democrats.
