That picture has been floating around out there for a very long time. I suspect it is legit.
The problem is, we have way too much bias at work here and pedes are far too happy to jump to and accept a given premise without actually finding evidence.
Even if the photo is "legit" there could be other legit explanations for this situation, including a pedophilia situation, but it isn't the only one.
Perhaps people have more evidence on Cowell; and I'd like to see it. But people also need to remember what happened at the French Revolution.
True, however I am going to jump to conclusions each and every time I see a celebrity holding a small Asian child. Their fault, not mine.
Your choice. I prefer to base my responses on evidence and not bias or preconceived ideas.
By all means jump to a conclusion. Just don't pretend or kid yourself that its fact or evidence based.
PS. As someone with Asian people in my family, both close and extended, and with a good number of Asian families as friends, I probably have a lot more experience with non-evil interactions of this type, and so, I'm not immediately drawn into a single explanation.
My response was only to suggest that the picture is an actual picture not a doctored image. Make of that what you will. I see no conclusions jumped to by that suggestion. My instincts are apart from that suggestion. They begin based on hope. They are then shaped by experience. In my experience, few make it in that world soul intact. None of the latter was alluded to in my initial response.
