Unless you have some proof of this please do not foment gossip! Gossip is a terrible thing. Like this dandy rumor I heard last night about Mama Cass Elliott that she died from choking on a ham sandwich. I believed it and it wasn't true. She died of a heart attack and left a 7 yr old daughter behind he had to hear that all these years. So please be aware that people have a life and family and reputations. I admit that I also forget the golden rule but I am trying to do better.
I completely agree about the need to back up claims with facts. It was pretty embarrassing that I was talking about the wrong person, so I've dined on my own foot today. 🤦♀️
But MAGULQ was very kind when pointing out my mistake.
There was something tickling my mind when I wrote that first post, knowing something was wrong with it. But I was too lazy to follow up on that feeling and look it up before sharing.
So, bright side, I'll be double checking my info before sharing in the future. Because that was embarrassing. 😂
Wasn't he a pedophile? After he died, when people started going through his stuff, they found a lot of nude photos of children he took in his studio.

Also am learning to read other's responses before I remark. Insert foot into mouth.

We all done the exactly same thing at one time. No big deal.

I'm an idiot. I have no idea where my brain is today.
