I feel brought down now.
But it was not because of Karen's tweet--
it was your reaction to it.
We're believers, but there are two kinds of believers:
Those who believe in Michael, and those who believe in everything any random person tells you.
Karen Faye did Michael's makeup for 20+ years, and must know him well by now, yes.
So taking this into consideration, you automatically believe what she says is the gospel, right?
So if she says he's dead and she did his makeup for his funeral, there it is, she knows 'cause she's been around him for so long.
Right?
Wrong.
Let's say for a moment Karen WASN'T just making publicity for herself off dropping MJ's name and mentioning hoaxies.
(Not to judge her character, but you can't tell me that people who have posed/are posing as Michael's "friends", for I don't care how long, know the sure-fire way of drawing attention to themselves: talk about MJ, especially in a dramatic light.)
Let's assume -- okay, she's a close, trusted friend of Michael's.
If YOU were in this position, as someone he trusts, would YOU answer particularly rude people who are ENTIRELY missing Michael's point and reason for this hoax with a "oh yes, he's alive and well, you're right! But don't tell anyone 'cuz it's a secret okay?"?
Yeah.
Some all-knowing, MJ insider/friend YOU'D be.
Blowing his WHOLE cover like that.
If you've come along this far and are brought down by stuff like this,
you may as well go all the way back and be devastated by Jermaine at UCLA (no, not a certified doctor on the premises, but JERMAINE) telling all of us Michael's dead and gone, the end...
Because you're completely missing the point, and also the point of entry into this roller coaster Michael's got us on.
