Michael Jackson had a lot of plastic surgery, had a weird way of behaving around people, and just had a downright weird personality about himself. A lot of people do, though. That wasn't what made people despise him. It was the fact that he was brought to trial more than once for molesting children. Child after child testified, but because people are so corrupt, MJ was able to bribe them with a piece from his wallet and had the case dropped. I'm sure you wouldn't take someone molesting your child too kindly, would you?
