Why Marilyn Monroe fans hate Arthur Miller

Imagen
 The other day, I was watching a YouTube video of a press conference with Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller just before they got married. Marilyn looked happy and affectionate toward Miller, smiling at him and even hugging him. In contrast, Miller appeared very serious and barely acknowledged her, not even meeting her gaze. I checked the video comments, and almost all of them were attacks from Marilyn’s fans directed at Miller. That got me thinking: why do Marilyn’s fans harbor such disdain for Miller?

 Marilyn Monroe really loved the animals. She liked them because animals were beautiful and inocent for her. She enjoyed playing with them and showed interest in rescuing stray dogs.  She had a lot of animals during her life. She had dogs like Tippy, Muggsy, Hugo or Maf. Some people say that Maf was a gift to Marilyn fom Frank Sinatra, but acording to Donald Spoto, Maf was a gift from Pat Newcomb and Marilyn named it Maf because it reminded her of Frank Sinatra. Apart from dogs Marilyn also had cats like Mitsou and Sugar Finney. Marilyn had two parakeets, Butch and Bobo, a gift from Sidney Guilaroff and a horse Elbony wich were in her house of Roxbury during her marriage with Arthur Miller. Marilyn did not just loved animals she was very sensitive about animal abuse. Marilyn  couldn´t stand it if any living creature were hurt. Her dog Tippy was her pet when she was a child in the house of her foster parents the Bolenders, but a neighbor hated the dog, so he sooted an...
