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?
Lot of famous, rich, and powerful people haven’t been convicted. Doesn’t mean they are innocent though.
Edit: weird amount of epstein defenders in this thread…
It also doesn’t mean that they are either.
Of course. Just seems really fucking weird in the context of Epstein to be talking about never convicted like there aren’t some massive fucking asterisks involved.
Entirely fair. I’m just tired of this MJ story that wont end
