I see ur point Action but what about other famous ppl who still get the love for their achievements despite a chequered personal life? OJ has been mentioned but the ppl like Michael Vick? To a lesser degree Robert Downey Jr for Ironman despite in the past being a notorious alcoholic and drug user? Half the ppl in bands are reckless alcoholics or drug users?
I'm not disagreeing with ur post but surely we can still appreciate the guys ability in ring?
Does reckless alcoholism compare to murdering your disabled son to you? Are those equally disagreeable things to do? And to answer your initial question about famous people who's career goes on despite doing shitty things, well that's easy. People are fucking stupid and obsessed with celebrity. There are a lot of mouth breathers in the world who suck celebrity dick left and right. That's why bottom of the barrel bullshit like TMZ exists. That's why these shitty reality TV shows are on every goddamn cable channel.
Now Michael Vick and OJ can go fuck themselves. One's a murderer and one found entertainment in abusing animals and forcing them to fight to the death. I never gave a fuck out of either of them anyway. OJ was pretty funny in Naked Gun, I'll give him that.
On RDJ, drug abuse and alcoholism are easy pitfalls for those with the money to afford those things. There's a lot of peer pressure for celebrities to party and live a certain life. It's seen as acceptable behavior. Not everyone falls for those pitfalls, but some do. I find Robert Downey Jr to be incredibly admirable in the 180 he's made in his life over the last decade.
Tell me where murdering your wife and child are seen as acceptable behavior by any stretch of the imagination? Hey fuck it though, the dude did neat suplexes. Yay child murder!
