Why was Michael Jackson stigmatised so harshly?

I'll start with what he wasn't stigmatised for. MJ was balding and had cosmetic work done to darken his scalp at the hairline as well as wore a wig woven into his hair (as revealed in his autopsy report).

So why was he stigmatised at all? [...]

"Stigmatized"? Lol... He was the King Of Pop, until the kid-fondling thing got out of control. Every celebrity of that stature has sh*t-tons of myths and rumors attached to them. It's part of what keeps them famous. And Jackson was clearly creating and/or fueling many of those rumors, because he must have been smart enough to know, how fame works and that - at the end of the day - almost nobody (and certainly not the general public) cares about music/art alone. He possibly also wanted to give the tabloids some outlandish sh*t to write about him, so that they didn't start digging into his ambiguous sexuality, lack of family-life, sleep-overs with children and "Jesus-juice", or whatever he was up to.

He's dead. Maybe few years down the line his kids will shed some more light on what Michael was up to, if the price is right. However - I don't believe he was entirely innocent, even though I doubt he was raping any underage rectums, catholic-style. If I was accused (however falsely) of child molestation, and paid millions of dollars to make the accusations go away - I sure as f*ck would make sure I wasn't in a similar situation again in the future. But apparently he absolutely HAD to have unaccompanied minors at his creepy theme-park, so either he couldn't control his sexuality, or he was very, very dumb, or simply mentally ill. Could have been all three.
