There are always going to be haters, no matter what, Wildy. But otherwise, the situation depends on the reason that Michael's death was faked.
If it was because his life was in serious danger, as I believe, I think most people will give him the benefit of the doubt and (eventually) treat him with respect, compassion, and understanding.
However, if the events surrounding June 25 were for an arguably selfish reason, such as getting out of debt or making a movie, I think the general reaction will be much less kind and infinitely more negative.
