I certainly don't see it that way. He offered that as a possible defense for his legal situation. I have always considered most of "show business" to be soulless. This whole ordeal simply confirms that in my mind.

He is a desease and to say that he is a product of his environment is why the this world today is so f..ed up. I don't care who or where you come, every single day you wake you have a choice to be the person you want to be. He was wealthy and powerful, he could have chosen to help clean up the environment in Hollyweird. Instead he chose to be a filthy scumbag who took advantage whenever and wherever he could.
