Gerard Butler’s Middle Finger Salute

Scottish hunk Gerard Butler rings in the new year with a middle finger salute, partying in Miami’s South Beach on Monday night.

Gerard’s next film, Nim’s Island, is set for an April 4, 2008 release. Nim (Abigail Breslin) is a young girl who imagines an island to be magical, basing its mystic nature on the experiences of her favorite fictional character, Alex Rover (Butler). When Nim’s father goes missing on the island, Nim teams up with Alexandra (Jodie Foster), the author of the Alex Rover books and Rover himself.

Have a Gerry-ful New Year!

Classy.

Who is he…must be a nobody.

# 4

Gerard you ROCK.

haylie is dumb @ 01/01/2008 at 6:56 pm

yo haylie…he is not a nobody. he was the lead in 300 as well as in Phantom of Opera…check your sources.

# 6

Far from a nobody.

# 7

what a deception, i liked him.

# 8

He is a greek god

# 9

#3 Why do you say that? Because you personally never heard of him? Actually he’s the star of “300″ one of 2007’s most successful films. A movie I feel is a bit overrated but he was good in it. Personally I think its cool he has the chutzpah to make his attitude towards the paps well know from the get-go, as opposed to plastering a fake smile on his face. Granted it’s not the classiest move but then neither are the people he’s targeting.

LIFE AFTER @ 01/01/2008 at 7:06 pm

i need to tell him to stop that…

LIFE AFTER @ 01/01/2008 at 7:06 pm

or else i will spank him

why HE IS SO FUVKING HOOOOT. HE IS SO SEXY AND SO YUMMY

#5 Get some class, its my opinion that i dont like him, i know who the hell he is, so go shove it up your ass. Your the dumbass, wow i swear people on this site get more and more stupid.

He’s also in the current P.S. I Love You.

Happy New Year to you too darlin!

THIS IS SPARTAAAAAA

Butler is a jerk! Must believe his own publicity. (And he wasn’t even good in Phantom of the Opera.)

THIS. IS. FINGAH!

Gold flecks search green flecks….
Anybody else feel like mushroom soup??

Chegs-HUn @ 01/01/2008 at 7:38 pm

And who is the woman with him this time? Check picture no.2. - there’s an arm around his waist. That stupid pap should have taken a photo of her, too. ;)
And yeah, it’s a bit of a deception - even if he doesn’t like paparazzi and he wasn’t sober (I suppose), this is quite ungentlemanly behaviour :(

totally heart him!

I wouldn’t want King Leonidas mad at me! I wonder what the papparazzi said to him to elicit that response.

Alexanderina @ 01/01/2008 at 7:49 pm

Love him, thanks Jared

*rolls eyes* Totally unnecessary.

not too hyped about the movie but i’m sure he’ll prove his acting chops once again.

He looks like he’s on something. And the finger thing is silly and stupid.

Justins t cousin @ 01/01/2008 at 7:57 pm

love him

bad boy……;)

TAN SUITS HIM!

LIFE AFTER @ 01/01/2008 at 8:22 pm

who’s this lucky girl…

I hate it when stars throw the finger,I always take it as an insult. It makes me not want to spend money on their movies.

Life After, are you crazy??? There’s no girl in any of the pics!

Class, that’s just what I like to see with a 38 year old man. Real class act. Yuk.

Just what I like to see with a 38 year man. Maturity; real class act. Yuk.

craig stairs @ 01/01/2008 at 9:00 pm

another nobody.

sometime they’re just stupid

LIFE AFTER @ 01/01/2008 at 9:10 pm

georgina- look @2 pix her arm is there in his waist…i do not like her already

It’s nice to see photos of stars but at what expense to their privacy.
So we are to think that Gerard Butler doesn’t have any class - what about the photographers stalking him and other stars? That gesture to me only means his privacy was invaded.

Justins t cousin @ 01/01/2008 at 9:19 pm

Comment 41 so right

LOL, he was at a public party at the vip section, had to know there would be photogs there, so what privacy was he expecting?

Hmmmmm….I think he’s saying, “P.S., I Don’t Love You.”

He looks like he is drunk. Yeah, he was the king guy in 300, but it was the movie that was a hit. I never heard no one say it was bcz of him. It was the story, and all the art and special effects like you never saw before. That is why 300 was so good. He just played a role. There were other actors who were good in it, too. Maybe even better than him. I checked him out and he did a movie with Pierce Brosnan that went straight to video, and he was in the new Hilary Swank movie, except no one even talks about his character except to say he was there. LOL!!! So as far as I’m concerned, he is only C-list…if that. He is probably haqppy to be getting paid. But he seems like he is arrogant. And he has nothing to get arrogant about.

From the block @ 01/01/2008 at 9:39 pm

It’s not a great shocker if Haylie doesnt know him. Not everybody seen’300′ .

I don’t know Anon, Gerard WAS King Leonidas. He became Leonidas. He made you want to follow him into battle. I don’t know any actors who could have pulled what Gerard did. 300 would have had a different effect with anyone lesser in strength and appearance.

Gerard looks good pissed off.

I think Gerry looks way older than 38 and is acting like a spoiled child. When he does things like this, he is insulting his fans and he should remember that his fan base is what carries his success. He wouldn’t have what he has if he didn’t have his fans.
Grow up Gerry, your diaper is showing.

Gerry is yummy and has historically, always been cool w/paparazzi. I think he’s just finally giving them a taste of their own medicine. Remember, paparazzi are usually the ones initiating these types of reactions, flipping off these types of stars first. It’s a money shot!

well hes sexy and hes ctually a nice guy. the paps must have done something to get that reaction or else he was sh*tfaced since it was new years eve.

he can go all spartan on me with his finger any day

Holly golightly @ 01/01/2008 at 10:48 pm

Though 300 had a lot going for it, Butler was Leonidas, period!
Most of the reviews on PS I Love You have been kind to Butler, if not the movie, so that is a bunch of crap! Butler’s performance was not what sent the other movie straight to DVD.

Giving someone the finger is perhaps not the classiest thing to do, but he owes his fans a good performance and that’s it….also period!

hes an ass pffft

Gerard, you are far too beautiful to be doing something so ugly.

This guy looks like he reeks of alcohol and cigarettes. Kind of that dirty bum thing. I don’t dig it.

he is still sex on a stick !

everybody does that. get over it!

Gerard’s great! and his middle finger is great too!

Love him!

Just to let everyone know, Gerard has not had a drink in 10 years and he quit smoking 8 months ago. He’s a fine actor and human being, who was probably being pestered by the razzi. Who know, maybe one of the photogs made an insulting comment about his his new film PS I Love You, which the critics hate, but audiences love.

postwatcher @ 01/02/2008 at 2:09 am

If Gerry doesn’t drink, then why is he at ALL the trendy clubs?

Don’t DRINK, Don’t Smoke….What does he do? I am sure it is something!

Yeah…. he’s a work-a-holic!

haha, i think someone got a little too wasted on new years eve!

#57 sounds like they’re trying to come off as “in the know” .. get over it.

This info is readily available in Gerard’s public interviews, and articles about him. He’s been very open about his former drinking problem, and his battle to quit smoking.

CHUCKECHEESE @ 01/02/2008 at 2:48 am

Why would a person go to a place where it is known that paparazzi would be hanging around trying to get pictures of guests and then flip them off? This is the public image he must want to convey.

#62 is sounding like he’s #57 and neither of you two actually know him, you just troll on his info and research him like an obsessed stalker-oo. why don’t you focus on the people in your actual life.. like what your uncle or sister is up to and get. a. life. :)

boopboopteedo @ 01/02/2008 at 5:56 am

Rude, Crude, Lewd.

Too bad not also Newd !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, that man can give the finger. Thud.

Betty

He is an ass! And I don’t care how long he was supposed to be sober, he looks wasted in these pictures. And why was he in South Beach of all places! Was he there to see thm “lower the shoe?” LOLOL!!!! I saw 300 and all he did was run around in a jockstrap screaming at people. He looks like he spits when he talks. Ewww!
He didn’t make me want to follow him anywhere much less in battleLOL!!!! I liked those two young actors better. And the guy who’s son got killed? And the guy from Lord of the Rings. David Wenham. Butler got on my nerves with his screaming. The special effects in 300 were totally hot. Butler…not so much.

he’s damn sexy (esp in 300), but why this middle finger?

I just checked out the other photos/articles of Gerard Butler on Just Jared & you can see he has been decent to the paparazzi - not one finger picture in any of them. This has not been his pattern. Cut the guy a break. He just looks mad as hell. So I can’t help wonder what was said to garner that response.

This is not the first instance where he as flipped the bird. He did it more than once during his press junket for 300, and not just to the razzis.

Who knows exactly what went on with these pictures. But the point is that the razzi don’t have a “public” so they just behave how they want to get a picture. I know enough about Gerry to believe the press that he’s stopped drinking - me too - and I go anywhere anyone else goes - don’t have to stay away from clubs. He’s hot and he’s on the prowl - duh. I just think he’s smarter than he appears in these photos. Rethink this Gerry - is it so bad that you can’t just ignore the guys - are you so bereft of resources that you must demean yourself to your fans?

I’d be ***************** too, if people were following me around and invading my privacy all the time.

Yeah, I know…public event, yada yada yada. It still doesn’t make it right. Doesn’t he have the right to go to a party on HIS DAY OFF, just like everybody else?

Public event like this = press and paparazzi present. That is the way of the world. Either roll with it or stay home.

The more ‘fans’ you bring aboard that brings your popularity up-expect more from the angle of the press that want to show you off. Your ‘fans’ buy the photographs taken.

Can you really believe this is the same humble person who was proud of showing off his mother at his premiere to a person who wouldn’t care if his mother see him flick off people-even if they are paparazzi?

thatgirlxo @ 01/02/2008 at 11:05 am

i want to be that girl with him. one night stand with gerard butler, woo hoo! haha

Welcome in the shithole again, Butler. Go drunk, that’s very wise movment for a “recovered” alcoholic. Recovered-my-ass.

Naaaa I don’t think he looks drunk … he looks rough and his eyes are puffy… he’s probably been crying LOL It is hard to think this is the same sweet seeming guy we saw in pictures with his darling mom in LA. I hope he figures out how to handle this razzi situation cause I doubt he’s quite a big enough celeb to be so indignant about the celebrity press. Gerry…. methinks thou dost protest too much!

So he has been crying for last six months, without a break., because he has that swollen face and puffy, bloodshot eyes that long. Or maybe even longer.

IMHO the cutest thing he could do when approached by these types of razzi is look behind him… as if to say “oh wow, who’s here that you are photographing….are you guys really taking a picture of little old moi…..” that would endear him to everyone… wise up Gerry!

What an *****. He must be starving for attention. Shattered and PSILY were box office bombs and this is how he shows his appreciation.

Keep smoking Gerry. You already look older than my granddad.

What did they say to get this reaction some posts have asked - well my answer would be “Gerry where’s the hooker tonight”

Remarkably, he’s both ghetto and eurotrash! His handlers should tell him to stop playing with the tabloids/papparazzi. They always have a way of bringing “out” certain issues.

Or they could have just shouted “hey Gerry how many new year’s resolutions have you made”

At comment #82. You obviously don’t know your facts. If you don’t know what you’re talking about, just be quiet and shut your mouth.

For your information, he quit the smokes months ago. And PSILY opened the same day with other big box office movies, so its understandable that it wouldn’t top the charts. And considering that its a romantic comedy, its not going to appeal to just about everyone. And yet, the movie is still holding strong and has had dramatic increase in sales within the past weeks.

And how is he starving for attention, when its obvious that the paparazzi are the ones following him and must have provoked him somehow.

Grow up and stop making childish remarks. None of you would have the guts to say some of these ignorant comments to his face, because you know he would knock you right upside the head.

I guess it makes you all feel good about yourself for making such remarks. That’s fine. If its to make you feel better about your life, then go ahead. When the haters start to come out, you know he’s making it big. :)

Sorta immature for a man nearly 40….that’s his tip-of-the-hat to his fans….lame. He nows paps will publish his every movement.

Not very mature. Eventhough he’s giving the middle finger to the idiots that made him mad. It’s actually the fans that are on the receiving end of that. Sounds like he’s not handling the 12th minute of his 15 minutes of fame very well. I knew he would do something to screw it up for himself. What will he do when they (the paparazzi) follow him around and rummage through his trash? I feel it’s a violation of the celeb’s privacy when they do that. However, he chose the career and the ugliness that comes with it. He should’ve been the fine actor that he’s considered to be and handled whatever they threw at him with a little more class. People, we may have another Sean Penn on our hands.

Let’s put the blame for his behavior where it belongs–BLAME THE TARTS!

It’s their fault the movie bombed-and it did by Box Office records–and he’s NOT given up the smokes–no matter what you’ve been told.

And Paparazzi is just doing their job.

Who are the tarts????? According to the latest numbers PS I Love You is not a bomb. Numbers are very good.

TARTS is the name of his mindless fan base that love nothing about his talent, but love his Scottish accent and ‘Hot Body’.

Box Office: Domestic Total as of Jan. 1, 2008: $27,901,562–Rather Lame

If he’s such a big shot in the Hot actor Field that should have been the total from the first weekend–not just the entire time since the 21 of Dec.

#91 As far as the Box office for PSILY being pretty lame.
Take a look a Johnny Depp’s - highly reviewed and nominated film Sweeney Todd movie’s box office –as of Jan 1 it was only $30,609,858.
Sweeney Todd opened with over 9.5 million to PSILY 6.4 million. Sweeney Todd Box office numbers have decreased during this same time period while PSILY #’s have increased even without the critics & nominations to bring in the audience to 27,901,562.
I guess you need to say Johnny Depp is not such a hot shot actor since he can’t kept the audience coming in to see Sweeney Todd and that would be just ridiculous.
Give Butler a break he has a fan base - and it is not only because he is hot looking - he is a very talented actor and he is just getting started. And, you don’t have to go to any of his movies if you don’t like him that’s your right.

he’s just great, everybody can have a bad hair day…

O, that what he does here is really immature. So he has the comments he deserved. I have a lot of warm feelings toward Gerard, but I hate him that way.

That what really pisses me off are his brainless fans who don’t want to see that something wrong is happening with him. Come on, he looks intoxicated. His face is swollen, his eyes are bloodshot. He’s an alcoholic. Now, do your math, people and stop repeating how wonderful he is. Because now he is not wonderful. He’s deep in ****.

You put Gerard and Johnny in a room and ask a group of 100 girls whose who and I bet because Johnny has been in the industry much longer that Gerard that they would know him.

Gerard is burning candles at both ends where Johnny has reached a point where he can bring them in or doesn’t Pirate of the Carribean mean something to you?

When was the last time Johnny Depp went full force to the press and gave them the finger?

He’s starting to believe his own press thank to his nutty fans.

He needs to take a break-go on vacation-get back to Reality. He’s just another actor who is passing on his looks and backed by crazed fans.

have seen him act, not many better around. he brings depth and emotion to all his roles. don’t care what he looks like.

Gerard Butler is one of the hottest stars in Hollywood since 300, this according to numerous popular magazines. He has established his position as a male lead with excellent performances and has an enormous fan base, which explaines the razzi’s interest in him.

It does not take a stalker with no life to know that Gerard is quite open about his past with alchohol and the fact that he has been dry for over 10 years. He also recently stated that he had quit smoking shortly after filming ‘PS I Love You’ because playing a man who dies so unexpectedly had quite an effect on him. He felt it was important to take better care of himself.

For those who have accused him of drunkeness, well your eyes must come equiped with breathalizers if you can look at those photos and determine him drunk . Is it possible he was tired? I am also a non-drinker and know that going out with my friends is reason enough to go to a club. And where does the smoking enter the picture, because there is ciggy butt on the ground? Have you ever walked past one?

The “finger” is not the most tactful of gestures, to be sure. I personally find it unappealing, however I know that it can also be used in jest, as Gerard has been known to do on other occasions.

This really boils down to a man who is known for being exceptional to his fans, generous with charities, kind to his co-workers and a squared away individual who is still single and enjoys a healthy social life, going out one night and gesturing the razzi for reasons we cannot fully know.

Was it his best move? Maybe not, but for a man who has done an aweful lot to earn respect, I hardly think it equates to reason for harsh judgment.

Something else being reported, Gerard has suffered from back to back chest infections, while filming GAME in New Mexico. Give the guy a break!

Gerard is wonderful and talented actor. 99% of the time he laughs and jokes around with the papparazzi; I’ve seen the videos of it.

Like Suz said earlier the papparazzi don’t have anyone taking pictures of what they are doing. It’s obvious something happened here, but geez don’t we all have our bad days. Give the guy a break.

OH! Give the guy a break? If he’s not drunk, but tired then maybe he should have stayed home with his dog instead of some date.

Also his “Charity” work is do to all his cult-like fans who pay collect the money to keep his website open, who pay for the planting of the trees, who collect for the kids with Cancer. He does nothing, but pick the charity to be on his behalf. Just check out e-bay for all the ‘charity’ things people are chucking up there. Blankets, signed stuff, ect.

Hey a talented actor, sexy on the eyes, and has an accent…..now that he has the finger trick (done several times-some without involving paparazzi) down we can now graduate him to the Colin Farrell School of Acting.

His campaign for the trees, cancer charities, his pup… boy Colin, you sure have this man’s info down pat for someone who is not a fan.

Could you per chance be a jealous husband or are you disgruntled because he’s not batting for your team?

I don’t like “the finger” either, but since when does using it equate to destroying hotel rooms and physically attacking razzi like Ferrell and Depp?

It’s a matter of time before we hear of Gerard and destructive ways and who says ‘Colin’ isn’t a cover for a chick? Duh!

Gerard is directly involved with many of the charities he supports. Are you aware that he called a young boy who was dying of cancer, and spoke to him on the phone for 20 minutes. The boy died 2 hours later, and claimed that Leonidas was his hero. Gerard has done many things to help others. Do not judge the man’s character by a few photos. Anyone who wants to know what kind of man he really is, will discover that he’s a hard working actor who is greatly respected by his peers and fellow actors.

Colin, would really like to know what your problem is. If you dislike the man so much, why are you reading this board??

What I cannot understand is why his flicking “the bird” is such a HUGE deal? Has no one else on this board ever done that before? I for one have done it before - not my proudest moment - but it didn’t stop me from doing it again…you know those moments of anger where you need/want to do something - so you give someone the finger! It’s better than turning violent!

I understand that celebrities should expect to give up a certain amount of their privacy when they enter into this profession but haven’t we invaded their personal space a bit too much now?

Point of clarification about Gerry’s reputation for *****************: I have seen only one other picture of him doing it. I was sitting 15 feet in front of him at WonderCon when at a panel discussion a question was posed having to do with contemporary political implications of the movie 300.
Zack Snyder fielded the question though it might have been asked of Gerry - but to my recollection, that is when he flipped the guy off - of course cameras caught the gesture…we just laughed about it - so did he.
The current incident at this one at WonderCon should not constitute a reputation for flipping people off…let’s keep it real. And Gerry - keep your hands in your pockets when you’re around the razzi - OK??

He called a dying child and it was reported by him. Not for the kindess of the act only, but for the press it brought to him. Why didn’t he just keep the good-hearted moment to himself?

The ‘Finger’ has been done by atleast 4 times

At Wondercon while on the panel
At the 300 Premiere
At Dressed to Kilt in 2005
New here on New Year’s Eve

Why am I here? I’m here to comment of this dummy who gave the finger to the camera. This is will do wonders for his career when it comes to these ‘heartfelt’ and ‘kid friendly’ related movies he’s has out.

WRONG! Gerard did not report his kind act to the child with cancer. The man in charge of Kids Kicking Cancer quietly sent a letter to one of Mr Butler’s fansites, to let them know about the event. It was NEVER reported in any article or news story.

Yes Tom - it was Rabbi Elemich Goldberg, Founder and National Director of Kids Kicking Cancer - not Gerry. He has never spoken of it.

Tom, get real man. I love that guy but come on… . His eyes are visibly bloodshot. Do you see these broken veins in his right eye? Do you see his bloated face and puffy eyes? What kind of exhausting work he was doing a day before to look that bad?

I smell troubles here.

Witch, I share your concern and did see his very bad right eye. But upon enlarging the photo I did notice that it was only in one eye and not in both. Possibly some kind of injury? When I’m ****faced BOTH my eyes look bloodshot. He looked to me light he just got off a plane - no he didn’t look good - but I like rough LOL

Suz, he has been wearing that bloated face and puffy eyes for months. I know something wrong has been happening with him. And, as he is alcoholic I can’t exclude the possibility that he has started to drink, no matter how much I want it to be untrue.

And Suz, his both eye whites are pink,. Bad sign if you ask me.

What I mean folks, if he has really troubles with drinking again, the last thing on the whole world he needs is the blind defence. Think about that, “fans”.

Colin…I am NOT asking why you are here but HOW it is that you know every detail about Gererd (however slanted )? Your information cant be gathered by a simple check of his websites, you seem far too aware of his every move. Are you sure you are not a stalker? Have you been looking jealously over your wife’s shoulder?

As Colin no doubt knows, Gerard’s family lives in Scotland where he spent the holidays. Jet lag and airline travel could easily account for the broken blood vessel in his eye and appearant fatigue.

Those bloodshot eyes could mean steriod use too, along with the puffy face. I hope not but he did bulk up very fast for 300 and now for Game. It’s wonderful the work that Gerry’s fans do in his name for his charities. Gerry can barely say thank you for the thousands of dollors raised in his name.

http://www.gerardbutler.net/news/Print.php?NewsID=2654

It was reported in their news section (above link). If they didn’t want to world to know it–why not just share it with their members only section like some of his other stuff is?

_____________________________

Not a stalker-not a man, though if I was-don’t think Gerry wouldn’t pounce on me with some Sparta love-I’m just infomed in the Industry-K. There is no need to post a comment about someone and know nothing about the person they are talking about.

______________________________
Drunk or not Drunk-that is not the question. Jet lag or no jet lag is still not the question. We don’t have to ask why he gave the finger–just comment on the person behind the finger gesture. Is this role model to our youngsters?

Don’t like the press-stay home.
Don’t want press-QUIT ACTING

Is this a role model to our youngsters?

Well..if you want to base your judgement on one picture…or a few, like they show here…then perhaps not. I certainly don’t think so.
BUT, is it really fair to judge a person by one bad picture?

I don’t like the *****************-thing, I wouldn’t do it myself, ever!
But it’s his choice, and besides that…we do not know the situation here!
Besides…we all do things we’re not proud of later.
Nobody can deny that!

I happen to be a tart, or a Gerard Butler fan. Which doesn’t mean I only pay attention to the looks and accent. I’m not that superficial.
He can act, he’s great at it actually. But that doens’t mean that I love everything he does….wether it’s in his acting or in real life.

Let’s just be realistic here…People….He’s only human….

….and he shouldn’t be judged based on this one thing (he did a few times, I know)!!

But that’s just my opinion of course.

Ok Colin, I am deducing that you are an older woman because of your term youngsters. It seems that you have mastered the art of contradiction completely.

Here is your quote (with spelling correction), “Not a stalker-not a man, though if I was-don’t think Gerry wouldn’t pounce on me with some Sparta love-I’m just informed in the Industry-K. There is no need to post a comment about someone and know nothing about the person they are talking about.”

So ‘Colin‘…. You have made comments about the man, tell me how well do you know him personally to be able to make these rude and unsubstantiated comments?

When has Gerry EVER said he wanted to be a role model for ANYONE! He is a man that is living HIS life and no one else’s it is plain and simple.

I highly doubt that his flipping off someone would come as a surprise to his mother. She knows exactly who he is and loves him dearly no matter what. He is the first to admit his faults for crying out loud. Give the guy a break and the rest of us.

Blame the Tarts? Is that the blanket excuse for when you have nothing better to say? Shame on you. You seem to know a lot about what goes on with him and the website. What happened did you get kicked off for bad behavior? Is that is why you are coming off as so bitter?

Pukkie I agree with you, you can’t base a persons character on a couple of pictures when we have no idea what was happening at the time.

Yes he has been sick lately, whose to say that the medication he has needed hasn’t had adverse side effects? No one knows for sure and it is just plain rude to speculate the worst about a person no matter who they are.

Gerry is a contradiction in all he does and he would be the first to admit that as well. He works hard at what he does giving it his all.

True fans don’t blindly sweep things under the carpet, never have never will, but they will care about him no matter what. There is nothing wrong about looking for the good in people, maybe some of the people here should try it for a change.

“True fans don’t blindly sweep things under the carpet, never have never will”

Oh, really? So what are you doing now?

arrogant and cocky! makes me sick! so unattractive.

big time loser!!!

Jeez Witch how long did it take you to come up with that brilliant comment? Obviously you just don’t get it.

There is no sweeping going on here. If you understood the written word you would understand that there are a multitude of reasons for everything. Just because you wear the “Let’s Find Something Ugly About Everyone” badge that doesn’t mean that I am sweeping anything under the carpet. This is your problem not mine.

Unless you are following him around 24/7 there is no one that know for sure anything about him. I am simply saying, why is it that everyone finds it so easy to just accept the worst about people? An why on earth do you find fault with any kind gestures he might make. There is something very wrong with that. I don’t care what the motives are, what is important is the outcome. Making a young man happy before he died, or making a call to a young woman facing the certain death of her mother.

Let’s just say for the sake of discussion that he is drinking, which I DON’T believe is the case, that doesn’t mean that I would see him any differently. Nor does that mean I would be sweeping a problem under the carpet nor making excuses. Believe it or not, it really is possible to care for a person unconditionally. IF he is in trouble, he is smart enough to take care of it and there are a lot of people willing to support him.

If there was a medical condition, what good would come of all the nasty spiteful comments that seem to be so easily spewed here.
