I read about Wyman and Smith at roughly the same age as Mandy was when their relationship became public, and it struck me as deeply creepy and wrong then. I don't feel differently now.
"Controversial" is so devalued as a term now as to be almost meaningless. The on-stage antics of GG Allin back in the day might now be characterised as "controversial". A same-sex kiss on an 80s TV series is described with the same word ("at the time"). A dress at a gala that essentially shows the wearer's naked body? Thích Quảng Đức's 1963 act of self-immolation in Saigon?
Controversial stuff all 'round, with widely different contexts, bro.
