OMG Thank GOD someone else feels this way, too. Jayd, I have sat here quietly stewing for the past few weeks, literally sickened by this stuff. I love Michael, and I don't believe the negative things about him either. Keep in mind, I'm a mom of four girls and VERY protective over them. Maybe that's why I "get" him. I think he's *sincerely a child at heart, and loves kids and would do anything for a child. I was SO angry at that "documentary" by that tabloid trash-writing "journalist", I wrote an email to Barbara Walters in defense of Michael and said "shame on you" to 20/20 for airing it.
When he "hung his baby over the balconey" and people went nuts, I was like "so?"... he had him tight around the chest. I've held my babies like that many times. How many of us have thrown our babies in the air to catch them, playing with them? How is that not putting your baby in danger when it comes right down to it? Every time we get into an elevator with our babies, we are doing the exact same thing Michael did that day, just in a different way, one that's "acceptable" to us. How many babies have fallen out of beds or off of beds? Same thing, whether anyone wants to admit it or not. I could go on and on, but I think you get my point.
When Michael was shown feeding his baby and was bouncing his legs, everyone screamed about how nervous he was and how awkward he was with the baby, and on and on. Let me tell you, my own husband couldn't hold ANY of our children comfortably, I could imagine him trying to feed them a bottle AND do it in front of a news crew AND try to keep the baby's face covered by a cloth to protect its identity. And, if you'll carefully watch that part of the tape again, you'll see how Bashir grabs that cloth and pulls it and in MY opinion, it aggravated the baby and got him crying. And the nickname "Blanket"? What is the big deal? I think it's absolutely precious that he calls him that, what it means. We all have nicknames for our kids. We called our first baby "Jellyroll", and our other three have nicknames just as silly but I won't post them because they include parts of their names. (I'm overprotective like that.)
So he's changed his nose. Big friggin whoop. I don't think he's lying about the rest of his face, the squareness of it, how it filled out. If you look closely at his old pics, and at his brothers' and sisters' faces, you will see they all have the same face shape and jaw line. Michael's long hair tends to cover his face up a lot and makes it look slimmer. Only Michael's nose is really different and the way his ugly-a$$ father treated him and things he said to him, it's no wonder he had his nose made as skinny as he could. Is it odd how it looks? Yes. It breaks my heart. Do I blame him? No, I don't. I was teased as a child about my wide nose too. Not nearly as much as he was and not by my parents either. I'd have nose surgery done if I could, because those few insults I received stick with me to this day and I can't shake them.
I'll never believe the molestation charges, never. I will agree Michael's lifestyle is odd and very different, but it has to be because of who he is. And by God, if I had his money, I'd do the same damned thing. I'd create my own little haven to live in and fill it with as many pleasurable things as I could afford and have all the fun I could. And yes, I'd share it with as many children as I could, too.
Okay, I could go on and on, believe me, but I think I've got most of my frustration out now. LOL I like the guy, I say "leave him alone and let him live his life".
