2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

You seem to have followed that topic far more than me. So I'd like to state what I objectively understood from the mj case and then ask you. Please do not feel offended, I never like people being idolized but also not their image being damaged with accusations.
That being said, from what I understood he had a lot of kids around him which is at least unusual in any case but there was no objective proof for sexual abuse.
So my honest question: had this been proven? This was such a hot topic that it was impossible for me to follow the facts. (of course in a possible connection with Epstein - which I knew nothing about then - it might seem obvious now)
Thanks.
But still, thst does not sound as if it's proven he molested them. And if he did, he should rot in hell of course.
I'm just still not sure that he wasn't as naive innocent as he seemed. I really hate this.
So Madonna isn't dead
I was trying to look up what the Madonna controversy or allegations are and found this article about allegations of human trafficking and sexual abuse but then I saw this article about Malawi where her previous staff became head of education and this article about her healthy children
If this is the controversy or allegation, I'm not personally convinced as an outsider looking in 🤷♀️. Seems to me that people are bothered by her sexual advocacy including lgbt+ rights and though not saying theres 100% chance of this but I don't see any evidence of human trafficking or exploitation so far. The wrongful termination suit as well as Malawi's stance on societal norms just leads me to believe they have agenda against her.
Oh I haven't heard or seen that one re: minor. The younger guys ive known about.
madonna is deceased?
ah, gotcha!
