The Sun paper
Keep in mind the movie villanizes him more than reality. Yeah, selling his story was a betrayal and shitty, BUT he wasn't some devil on Freddie's shoulder forcing him into orgies.

Sad that this is the effect of this crap movie.
"Oh Freddie was really that ill during Live AId"
"Poor Freddie was forced to do gay orgies"
"Freddie had to beg Brian to get his job back"
Thats the price you pay when you spread lies like Maylor do

Incorrect, as stated by countless people who worked with the band at the time (and the band members themselves).
If anything, the film went easy on him.

Brian did say in an interview that Paul was to blame for Queen losing the States. That’s a pretty big deal.
Yeah, they lost a real market there...
Although as far as i know they never got first place in US Billboard Chart (only CLTCL and AOBTD could break it).
But of course they lost a huge sums cos' of their not wanting to touring America since.

You mean that Prenter in fact accustomed him to orgies & drugs or what?
I’m sure Prenter in the eyes of Queen was poisen but if Paul wasn’t there , I’m sure someone like Paul would be around to get Freddie what he wanted when he wanted it.
RadioDaDa, agree with you!
It's not clever i think, to make a naive parsee-british youngster from Freddie.
He did what he wanted to in both gay and drug worlds and one can only blame his curiosity.
And obviously he also was a bit of risk-taker, unable (or unwiling) to stop when the situation become slimy. If the curiosity has takin over his rational self, he felt very hard to say "no", i suppose.
