    MJ was heavily abused physically and mentally in his youth. Being raised as a Jehovah’s Witness fucks you up in a lot of ways so those of us from that era and background were never surprised at how he became a fucked up adult.

    And to be clear, none of that excuses the things he did, but it does help explain how they came to be.

      What’d he do tho? Because everything I’ve seen says he’s pretty much exonerated/ claims were false and coerced.
