Michael Jackson

I just don't know what to believe but I've read the trial transcripts available on line and there's some very strange behaviour from this guy and the kids parents. Now I say this as a fan but he was spending time alone in his bedroom with kids, having sleepovers. For a man in his 30s that's odd but then Michael Jackson wasn't the average man. He was working from age 4 or 5 and famous around age 7 for a start. Then there's the whole father/son relationship that seemed to damage him somewhat. IF anything did go on there I feel the parents and his staff etc are as culpable as him. He paid the first kid off apparently because his record company wanted/needed him touring. They had money to make. Bad idea because it makes him look guilty and also opens the door for extortion. I think his lawyer said they dealt with 50-60 cases of extortion a year. Really I suppose we will never know the truth. This new documentary doesn't offer hard enough evidence for me, just the word of two men who have already sworn on oath that Jackson didn't touch them then changed their stories later. If you get a chance read through the court transcripts if you can, really really odd.

It couldn't have helped him being off his tits on fentanyl
 
I liked his music and still do I guess. He always seemed odd. There is a German guy that just came forward saying he and Michael hung out when he was 14 and things got weird sometimes, but he never molested him. Actors Jerry O'Connell, Corey Feldman ( who has named other pedos in Hollywood), and Macaully Culkin all say he never molested them.

Both the families of the 2 boys from the documentary took payoffs from MJ, didn't they??

If my son was molested by him, there is NO WAY I would take a payoff!! All of those parents should never have let their boys stay over his house, etc.

If he was a pedo, then at least he is dead now.
 
6th and 7th march channel 4. Date for diaries.

This wrongun is getting outted by another two blokes. The serial abusers family aren’t happy but channel 4 going to show the programme anyway. Well done to them.
 
I was on the fence for years, but there was a key phrase used in the Louis Theraux documentary / interview with Jackson where it was stated in the police evidence that the 2 boys that Jackson had paid off were able to "describe Jackson's genitalia in detail" and I thought, there is no good reason you can come up with as to why they could do that without something inappropriate taking place.
People can say he didn't have a nice childhood but it's no excuse, if he was poor he would just have been locked up, but he was rich, so he got away with it.
 
Isn't it strange that when a documentary is to be made about a dead man people just happen to come forward with their stories..... Not there to defend himself anymore........

For what it's worth I don't believe he ever did anything like that. The general consensus seems to be that he was essentially childlike himself with other kids which, kids don't normally do stuff like that.

But sadly the reality will never be known , far too many cases are convenient , especially as mentioned there is money to be made in a documentary.

A middle aged man having sleep overs with young boys is creepy and far from normal behavior the excuse of not having a childhood is pathetic

I don’t think it’s an excuse and I don’t think people are excusing his actions. I am far from a fan and would jump at the opportunity to make fun of him, but there was something seriously wrong with the guy. Just an observation
