How can anyone be a fan of this woman?


I still see there are some fans around. I am just disgusted to hear this. This woman was an extremely abusive person to her adopted daughter and son. She may have not touched her other adopted kids (the twins) but she terrorized her daughter. This woman was a monster and should have been imprisoned for the child abuse.

Anyone claiming to be a "fan" is a deplorable person. This was the most evil woman that has ever existed in Hollywood. This was a criminal.

She's a good actor. That's why I am a fan. It doesn't mean that I approve of everything she ever did in her personal or family life.

Um, a LOT of people have denounced Christina's book, even her own sister: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mommie_Dearest#Reactions

True. Many say she was nowhere near as bad as she was depicted.
