    Bob Geldof is a truly clever, unique man that I have always had a lot of admiration for. Shame some people with no intelligence feel the need to make comments about his 'look' - unimportant nonsense. When you achieve what this man has in his life - then, & only then may you have the right to make negative comments. Find a job maybe!

      LaughLightLove It's hard to say isn't it? Michael had loads of problems and she was not making it any better. I recently watched a DVD Mystify which was filmed in Germany and quite frankly I was shocked at how different he was. He was still a very good singer but there was something missing? It was not long before he died. I don't know. It was Michael but not? The band had no connection. Watch it and see what you think LaughLightLove?

I'm not knocking Bob Geldoff. You are obviously a fan and I respect that. I don't know why expressing an opinion should bring on such and insulting response. People here are just expressing their opinion. Some do go overboard, but mostly they are just saying what they feel. Why are you reading any of this if you are such a scholar? Wouldn't your time be better spent elsewhere? They will get worse if you respond in kind :)

    If there were no dysfunctional families, there would be no great musicians, actors, actresses, lawyers, attorneys and salespeople. It is from pain that passion and a seeking to fill a void creates great expression and creativity. Bob has the courage to risk criticism from the ignorant and jealous. Life is a mirror. We criticize in others what we wish we had or hate about ourselves.

      When divorce was not a option , incredibly creative people existed , creative people are born , not created through adversity , I think you need to broaden your perception of life. I think perhaps reading about the arts might broaden your view on human nature and it’s quality to be creative for thousands of years and not because the creative person was suffering some malady ……..

    Perhaps divorce almost destroyed Bob but, he was the lucky one, as it did destroy Michael and Paula. Whether or not he meant to take it as far as he did, only he knows. But, he had a direct and heavy hand in the death of both of them. What I believe he didn't take into account is how this would affected the children. Peaches had quite strong feelings about all of this which she openly spoke about in recent months.

      It was suicide from depression and the way his body was hanging from up hight before he fell - it couldn't be erotic afication - which involves hanging one self in such a way as they expect it to come undone. Alos, According to biographer lovegrove Paula had told friends that Michael was suicidal for months b4 he ded. An interview in the UK observer (2017) called “ln the eye of the storm”, friend Catherine Mayer, said ” Michael had called just a few days BEFORE he died, crying so hard I couldn't make out every word, talking of legal battles & the endless, relentless press attention”. Also if you google the “POLICE STATEMENT OF PAULA YATES AND Belinda Brewin” Belinda talked of the endless toRture from Bob. Oddly later Belinda recently (for the bio about Paula authorized by Bob no less) said that Michael broke up a family - the same narrative Bob wanted in the media! This counters old articles noting that Bob Geldof was alread in a relationship with his next wife Marrianne before Paula supposedly broke his heart.

      Bingo. It was also an ongoing problem that control freak Bob would change things last minute then laugh at Paula when she called him crying asking him why. It could be her day to have the kids, she get his permission to take them on holiday or to the fair, and last minute he'd do something to stop it. (she ranted this in interviews after Michael died when she called Bob a murdered for causing Michael to commit suicide. B4 she had to change her story after sh lost custody so he'd let her see the kids)
      She kept telling the press that he was constantly trying to drive a wedge between her and her kids (and succeeded with Fifi) and not even allow occassional visits.
      Read the "Police Statement of Paula Yates and Belinda Brewin" they talk about how he was constantly forcing them to change their plans and make strange complaints to the court. Bob wanted to drag this out to make Paula broke.

    Sir Bob says he loved his wife, his marriage breakup was blamed on Paula and Michael. So my understanding is that Bob was, at that time, living with his mistress who he later married. I don't believe they, Bob and Paula, ever had what we would call a normal marriage. I really believe that Paula should not have tried to take Bob's kids to Australia but just gone with Tiger and had a wonderful holiday. She made a bad decision and of course, Michael was lonely and missed his ladies. Such a sad ending. Also to note Michael gave Bob his house because Paula wanted the family home and actually Bob made out well on that deal because Michaels home was worth a whole lot more. So I really don't feel sorry for Bob and in the end, he even got Tiger which was a good thing for the little girl, she had her sisters.

It may have been a case, however, that if Paula did leave the other daughters and just go to MH with TL, BG could have accused her of abandoning their daughters. People do all kinds of crazy things in custody cases. So maybe that is why she did not want to leave the other daughters behind. Here in the US, actress Goldie Hawn went to leave for Paris (?) for a movie shoot. She left her children with their father, her husband, Mark Hudson and the housekeeper. Apparently Goldie was involved in an affair and when Mark realized she had left he contacted her and the two argued about her affair. He then decided he wanted out of the marriage and moved to a hotel temporarily, leaving the children in the care of the housekeeper for a few days until Goldie returned. Because of this action, when the couple was in divorce proceedings, Goldie accused Mark of abandoning the children and, thus, won custody.

    I think that you deciding to be the one to answer this question and then proceeding to quantify the extent to how much he has or hasn't done, even going so far as to breaking down numbers from some invisible source speaks more about you than it does Geldof. No one can assess or depict Geldof in who he is, or what he has tried to do with any accuracy. The compassion and integrity of the man is quietly swept under the rug every time. ( Even though you're not one of the ones who hate him ).

      I've been rediscovering this whole situation with Paula and MIchael, and I always thought he was doing auto-erotic stuff but after extensively researching, I now believe he was upset and overwhelmed in a state of intoxication and killed himself while not thinking clearly. He was under immense stress with Paula's extremely messy, messy life and about to embark on a tour he didn't want to do. He got super bad news from Paula in the early hours and was wasted and just snapped. That's my opinion and in a way, it was an accident but it wasn't auto-erotic. It's like drunk driving, he was drunk reacting.

      Bob's full of it and wants to push the accident theory because he knows it was the stress he caused Michael and Paula - bragging he was "above the law" and could control the media.. It was suicide from depression and the way his body was hanging from up hight before he fell - it couldn't be erotic afication - which involves hanging one self in such a way as they expect it to come undone. Alos, According to biographer lovegrove Paula had told friends that Michael was suicidal for months b4 he ded. An interview in the UK observer (2017) called “ln the eye of the storm”, friend Catherine Mayer, said ” Michael had called just a few days BEFORE he died, crying so hard I couldn't make out every word, talking of legal battles & the endless, relentless press attention”. Also if you google the “POLICE STATEMENT OF PAULA YATES AND Belinda Brewin” Belinda talked of the endless toRture from Bob. Oddly later Belinda recently (for the bio about Paula authorized by Bob no less) said that Michael broke up a family - the same narrative Bob wanted in the media! This counters old articles noting that Bob Geldof was alread in a relationship with his next wife Marrianne before Paula supposedly broke his heart.

    • @aerialkate
      @aerialkate Před 7 lety +4

      Robin Williams was depressed because of his Parkinson's Disease and alcoholism. He had battled mental illness and addiction all his life. He was simply worn out and he knew things weren't getting better - they were going to get worse. I don't blame him for ending his life - I probably would have done the same if I had grown up children. Marriage? I think increasingly both genders are turning their backs on it. Statistically speaking as I recall, it was never good for women anyway.
      "...to all my brothers" - It does amuse me when men echo Eddie Murphy's old "Half!" routine. Most men ain't multilmillionaires and most women ain't supermodels looking to fleece you. What goes on in the weird and wonderful world of celebrity, with it's insincere relationships and silly amounts of money isn't real life. No need to get so excited and paranoid.

    • @aerialkate
      @aerialkate Před 7 lety +1

      ***** He was _not_ alienated from his children though. When a marriage breaks down you can't split children in two. One of the parents is going to see the children less - that's the awful truth of divorce. Divorce is a sad business. Given that women still comprise the primary care givers in society (in most, but not all cases), then women are disproportionately going to have custody of the children following family break ups. Though joint custody is increasingly common.
      I have sympathy for Williams in terms of his illness. But it was unwise to keep having children and remarry. When you create a family you are then responsible for their upkeep. He had addiction issues which would have consistently created big problems wtihin his marriages. Lena Heady had to pay her husband alimony and a settlement after she divorced, as she was the main breadwinner. That's how it works. In showbiz cases women tend to stay at home and look after the kids - especially when one party (an actor) is likely to be away on location. She's the one likely to be left at home to maintain stability for the family. So its understood she doesn't have earning capacity. These sensationalist cases are not the norm anyway. Stop getting your knickers in a twist.

    • @mrkrabappleson
      @mrkrabappleson Před 7 lety

      aerialkate When a marriage "breaks down" as you call it, what the *FACTS* tell us is that 70-90% of the time it's the woman that breaks it up and it's almost always for trivial reasons like she just isn't happy.
      97% of the time it's the man who pays alimony.
      You aren't seeing anything at all wrong or sexist with this picture???
      Do you realize how devastating it is to a man's life to not only break his heart but uproot him from his home that he's worked so hard for, to shatter his dreams of having a family? It's by far the number one reason men commit suicie *BY FAR* the number one reason and males are 4 out of 5 suicides!
      It's simply unfair that women have so much control legally, over a man's life.
      The fact that you don't care about that and are making excuses for it makes you so fucking callous and cold hearted it gives me chills. I wouldn't let any minors be alone with you for fear of what people (females) like you are capable of, given how lacking in any kind of soul you are.
      Honestly people like you creep me the fuck out. There could literally be a billion men bleeding to death in the street and you wouldn't bat an eye but if you heard about a woman that had a paper cut you'd cry that it's women who need help!!
