Rene Angelil - Rene Angelil began managing the career of Celine Dion when she was 12 or 13 (the exact age escapes me). Ostensibly, their relationship was purely professional and appropriate until one magic day when Celine was 19 and she threw herself at HIM. We are to believe that there was a strictly platonic and professional relationship between the two for 5-6 yearsh, when one day, everything suddenly and magically changed. I used to hate Celine's mother for her failure to protect her, but to her credit, she did TRY to reverse course in the middle of Celine's teenage years and didn't know what she was getting into from the outset. An egregious error to be sure, but not an act of malice/negligence. She TRIED to prevent Renee from grooming her daughter. It was an earlier time, no internet existed to talk about the tactics of groomers or the abject depravity of the entertainment industry, so some allowances can be afforded to Celine's mother.
Rene, on the other hand, was a greasy as fuck 35 year old when he met the 13 year old Celine and was a greasy as fuck 41 year old when their "magical romance blossomed." Fuck this pedophile groomer and piss be upon him. Recently, Celine correctly expressed that she would be uncomfortable with a 30+ year old woman starting a romance with her teenage son. Maybe the Stockholm Syndrome will completely fade before her final days, maybe it won't, but she is at least not perpetuating the cycle.
Rene was a pedo groomer who operated in plain sight and praises were sung of his brilliance up until his death about 9 years ago. Fuck Rene Angelil, that greasy fucking monster.
