Well said.

His later works are not as good as his early stuff (which has been said countless of times and IS true.) but that does not take away his legacy and what he has already achieved.

Especially when such allegations look to have been made for an improper collateral purpose (usually money or spite).
Nuff said, well done.

This is why I asked what the basis could be. His looks? I don't know.
Agree.

Right... the average person does not follow ALL the facts anyway ESPECIALLY when it comes to celebrities and people they dont know.

They go off of what OTHER people think, Media of course, what they see, from their OWN experiences, how people LOOK and they judge them by making their OWN conclusions and that is why that is.
People do this EVERYDAY with regular people on the street.
That should not be held against the person in question because ur judgment is not fact whether you feel it to be true or not.
