"Sounds like MJ's case" as in you think MJ wasn't a child molester and the victims just wanted money??
For me, a person's performance is a large part of the person himself. Like finding out Ian Curtis committed suicide makes his performances with Joy Division that much more emotional and meaningful than they otherwise would.
Or take an athlete like Michael Vick. As a dog lover myself, I hope each weekend to see him get crushed and his career in football ended. I don't care that he can play football, lots of guys can do that, but not everyone abuses and tortures little baby doggies in their free time.
