With R Kelly facing trial for sexual assault, and the doco on Michael Jackson allegedly molesting children, it has prompted me to ask if a celebrities' private life makes you no longer follow them as a performer. I relate this to music, movies and TV, sport or anything else.
For example, would the current controversy with R. Kelly make you no longer listen to his CDs if you were a fan, or has the recent doco on MJ make you want to less listen to his music anymore.
Are you now less likely to watch Kevin Spacey movies, or "The Cosby Show", because of what these stars are alleged to have done?
Or doesn't it bother you? Are you able to seperate the performer from their performance, and still admire their talent, even if you abhor their actions as a person.
Personally, I think I fall into the latter category, and can appreciate their talent, while not having respect for them as a person. But where do you sit with this, as a general rule in your life?
