I'm very glad this was posted in this forum, because this is a preview of what is going to happen with the media and the court of public opinion when the Wade thing comes up. I remember this all too well-there are only 2 men that I loved and adored on my own (my other big crushes have been on Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly and Gregory Peck-and my mother had crushes on them when she was a kid) have been on Woody and Michael-Woody I would rate a 10 in my heart-Michael a million.
And when this happened in 92, I raised an eyebrow when he got with Soon-Yi, but then I had raised an eyebrow to his relationship with Mia too-I thought it was an odd pairing and he obviously saw something in her as an actress that nobody else did)
But before Mr. Weide's letter came out in the Daily Beast, I have been on Yahoo and several other sites staunchly defending Woody on these accusations and the falsehoods that everybody is just presuming to be absolutely true-not even knowing the facts of the case-that Woody was thoroughly investigated-the accusations didn't even happen until after they were in a custody battler, that Soon Yi was NOT his kid, that he and Mia didn't even live together, etc. etc. -Mr. Weide did a far better job than I have on the actual facts-but it goes along the same lines. And I have been called absolutely horrible names in the responses.
I just can't believe that people just jumped to the conclusion based on her letter and Ronan and Mia's tweets (that are pretty much timed with his new MSNBC show) that he's automatically guilty and he needs to be "killed" or "thrown in jail" or worse. I just don't understand what happened to the world-when we started believing Tabloid Trash as the gospel truth because it's reported in the news "media."
And it's been on every news outlet, and entertainment outlet since last week-every day. I even saw that despicable Maureen Orth giving a bunch of gruesome details that have been proven to be only allegations by Mia.
Right now, more people are comparing Woody to Roman Polanski (which are apples and oranges since Polanski was charged, tried and convicted) more than Michael, but because of this and the reaction, I just know that when the Wade thing starts up, we are going to be hearing about this every day, all day-and it's really going to get ugly.
It's just been making me physically sick and I'm just terrified that this is really going to destroy Michael's legacy-and I'm just worried. Thank you for letting me vent.
