I recently saw an Eminem interview about Britney posted here, and I saw a lot of comments calling him a hypocrite, and not just here. I've seen videos of his stories about Christina, Mariah, etc., with tons of comments calling him immature. I know controversy has always been part of his career, but these aren't comments about his persona (like the LGBT march at the 2001 Grammys or stuff related to his music), these are comments about Marshall, the person.

I've only seen this kind of thing with pop celebrities, including MJ and these comments come from fans of both the "attacked" celebrity and even from Em's own fandom.

(I won't even get into his political views, that's a different matter that doesn't belong here) What I'm getting at is:

Nothing Em has done, including "Foolish Pride" and the gun incident, resembles statements like those made by Ye or actions like those made by Diddy, R. Kelly, etc.

Even so, beyond knowing that Marshall is a great father and many people speak highly of him... what's the worst thing Marshall has done? As a fan, to what extent should you defend him?

P.S. I apologize if this post is confusing. It's a genuine question and also a reflection on appreciating being a fan of a great man who generates more controversy for his art than for his morals.
