have ya'll heard the news on Obie???

It´s probably a nice job. Though the sets are so similar they probably sleep there.

Well if he is being framed or wrongly accused - that is very sad and I hope justice is done for him and his family. My comments are based on the allegations made, and how I feel about this sort of crime. No matter what happened, I am sure his family are having a difficult time. But of course, as human beings, we are going to comment our views and opinions on these types of issues. If Obie is completely innocent, then I am so glad to hear it.

thank you Donna

I Agree

you all are so quick to judge the man..hey...until you hear HIS side of the story, please lay off him..

"it's just one story, from a two story town" right? he has made NO statement concerning his actions. you people talk as if you're better than him, and you know ALL the facts. leave the guy alone..let the one who is perfect throw the first stone..

i found Donnas post comforting..i can only imagine how he/his family is taking it, so let's at LEAST give the guy a chance to clear his name. He's human, just like all of us..

Donna - while i don't condone it i'm not bothered by what he's done

but just like your first post just completely denying it and this one...

things aren't as they always seem

most (though not all) of us are just discussing this since we know as much and as little about this as you... we have 1 source (or 2 or 3) and they are all good sources... no national enquirer rubbish (or whatever that paper is called) - i think anyway? has anyone answered me on the philadelphia... newspaper?

...again, She is 15 he is over 50! and they had sex. IT IS NOT NORMAL!
don`t need to hear more.

yes, he's human, and when it's about a "little difference" (15 years), no problems ... people are not shocked, and Jon ? who knows ? never slept with a minor ? and what about to be true etc ... ? he was ?? not really, but it's okay, because he's Jon ??
And about the moral, one thing again, kissing young girls on stage ?? he's 41 !!! 3 kids, married, and it's not something he did once !!! each show !!!
so where's the moral here ?
Obie must die, he's a monster etc .... and Jon, no, it's ok for him !!!

I think we have to hear the whole story before judging. I have a near 15 year old daughter so I find this appalling but I can also see how easily young girls these days can be mistaken for older women. Happens to my daughter all the time- but we keep her too busy for a social life- LOL! If it was rape, I would hope he would be fired, but if this was a mistake or a set up I just think he should stay in the background and continue to do his job. I do not think it would be wise to have him answering questions at Bonjovi.com unless the organization comes clean about this. I really think they should because it is out of the bag now anyway- his reputation unfortunately has already been destroyed at this point. I would like to hear what really happened- if he made a mistake and has paid already with a suspended sentence and probation or jail time I think fans would be forgiving. I do think he will fade into the background though which is a shame because Obie was a good ambassador for Bon Jovi over at the Q and A. I do feel sorry for his family.
