So who the hell was that man on camera inside the house saying he was from the mortgage company and that they had already reposessed the house? Why was this reported on national news programs? This is not comparable to ongoing speculation about what may happen with MJ's house. This was reported as something that HAD ALREADY happened. Bare in mind Five Star bought that mansion after only one big hit album. They presumed there would be many more and they got the mortgage on that assumption. When the money stopped rolling in (which it did), how do you think they kept up the payments on the 10 Ferraris, Lamburginis, and the multi million pound house itself? Remember, they weren't really THAT big, yet they were living like royalty. How was that possible? They did it all on credit, that's how. Stedman himself said that it was a big fantasy world. They were fantasising they had more money than they actually did. Ask yourself, why did they not buy a similar mansion in the US if they only left to escape the British press? The answer is because they didn't have the money.

first, slow your roll. secondly, did i ever deny they had financial hardships? so those long arse run on sentences were made for not.

all i am saying is that its plausible that the guy who climbed the fence and claimed to be a rep with the bank was in fact a fake. sure, they had financial burdens. so what? and if Stedmam, and the rest of the family, admit they were living a fantasy and spending beyond their means...why lie about the foreclosure? they wouldn't be the first celebs to loose it all. (hi there tlc, toni braxton and many many others).

I would believe that if it was just reported in tabloids, but it wasn't. It made television too, back in the days when those type of celebrity stories were nowhere near as common, particularly in the UK. Also, look at the hesitant, solemn expressions on the faces of the members when they deny there was a reposession. They look like they've been confronted with a shameful secret from the past, and the fact that the program makers contrasted their denials with footage contradicting their story means the group was either being framed yet again (the poor dears) by the horrible media, or the program makers smelt a whiff of bullshit.

THE FUNNY THING IS.....STEADMAN LOOKS NOTHING LIKE MICHAEL!!!!! HE LOOKS MORE LIKE JERMAINE, JUST NOT AS "GREAZY" (WORD TO CHRIS ROCK!!!!) OR MORE LIKE THE LATE GREAT ACTOR CALVIN LOCKHART (THE "OG" BIGGY SMALLS!!!). THAT'S LIKE SAYIN' JESSE JOHNSON "LOOKS" LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON!!!!! GTFOH!!!!!
