I wouldn't have had kids in sleepovers at his age, but funny how no accusers went to the cops first, but civil lawyers asking for $$$......and their parents let them stay over?
Not scrounging for money, then?
No one has ever proven that he did anything illegal.
Weird? Yes.
I have no idea if he is guilty or not. I probably will never know.
That's life.
Didn’t he pay off some kid and settle out of court for millions. Pretty sure he was a pedo.
shareYeah. Nothing smells "guilty" like throwing loads of money at your accuser to buy his silence. And IF he was innocent... what did he want to hide from the court, and thus the general public? If you have nothing to hide, you go through the process and come out clean and clear your name. But he did not do that.
shareNO...YOU GO THROUGH THE TRIAL AND HAVE YOU NAME SMEARED,EVERY SECRET TOLD AND THEN EVEN IF YOU WIN HALF THE POPULATION THINKS YOUR GUILTY STILL BASED ON THEM REMEMBERING THE TRIAL...ITS BEEN LONG ACCEPTED THAT OUT OF COURT SETTLEMENTS WORK FOR CELEBS BECAUSE A TRIAL IS JUST ONE LONG SHIT SHOW THAT DOES NOT HELP THEM EITHER WAY...I DONT THINK MICHAEL MOLESTED THOSE KIDS,BUT I ALSO DONT KNOW FOR SURE...WHAT I DO KNOW IS THE SETTLEMENT IS STANDARD AND DOESNT SPEAK TO GUILT AT ALL.
shareMJ was prepared to go to court and fight the bastards, but he was adviced by his insurance company to just pay them off and make them shut up. Because it was all lies, so they could get money out of him.
Let me ask you: if your kid had been sexually abused, would you let the predator remain free for any amount of money?
And really, is it really necessary to go through this shit eleven years after the man passed away? Even if you could prove that he was guilty, it is not like anybody could do anything about it now.
Me, I wouldn't (I don't have any kids but I can't imagine I could live with that) but there are all kinds of people on this earth. Some parents surely would. For money? Oh yes... I'm sure of it.
shareI think he was mentally ill, but not a predator.
I still like his music and don't want him, or anyone, "cancelled".
With the kind of childhood he had, there's no chance he would be 'normal' or 'conventional'. But certainly no child molester. ALL of his accusers have serious credibility issues. And there's a reason he was acquitted in the 2005 trial after it was revealed the kid's mother was full of shit and had a history of fabricating lies.
shareMentally ill is far too broad and not entirely accurate and has a negative connotation to it. We certainly don't go around calling people with depression or ptsd "mentally ill". He had a very unique and difficult childhood despite the unprecedented talent and accomplishments he would go on to achieve.
shareWhatever Jackson was, he wasn't stupid enough to prey on kids whose parents wouldn't let them stay over, and who'd go straight to the cops.
And you can't definitively say that he was innocent of any wrongdoing, you weren't there. I wasn't there either, so I can't definitively say that he was a sexual predator, but I sure as hell wouldn't leave a child alone with someone like him.
I completely agree with you. People who are so sure about it, one way or the other, make me cringe.
shareYou can be sure of the evidence and the evidence overwhelmingly supports Michael Jackson's innocence. It's not some "Well we just don't know" situation. He was the most scrutinized and investigated celebrity in history and all those years of covert & overt investigations desperately seeking to find dirt on him managed to do was further solidify his innocence, cleared by the FBI after a decade of investigating him, admitting themselves that there was nothing to be found.
sharePedophile freak, nothing less.
shareWatch Square One and see if you still feel this way. In the case of the 93 incident he definitely is not guilty.
Pretty obvious after watching Square One
All the evidence is there for those who want to care to look for it. Obviously that's not the case with 99% of Michael Jackson haters. They need the myth of the "pedophile" narrative to "legitimize" their hatred which often times stems from other things such as good old fashioned jealousy and anti black racism.
shareEmphatically innocent. Facts don't lie. But malicious, disingenuous people do. Facts don't give a f*ck about anyone's prejudiced conjecture & the facts conclude that MJ was about as innocent as it gets.
shareWhere there's smoke there's fire. MJ was the world's greatest entertainer. He was also very dysfunctional and liked kids. In what way he liked them is pretty questionable, especially in light of that recent show Leaving Neverland. So we've got to separate the artist from the person. But my theory is he was "normal" until that 1984 Pepsi ad fire. Then he was on all kinds of pain killers, had all those surgeries, and somehow he went to the dark side.
shareIn this case there was never smoke. Only hot air. Whatever conjecture and innuendo you might want to place on Michael Jackson's innocuous eccentricities, the facts always lead nowhere but back to MJ's innocence & the opportunistic extortion attempts against him. The nefarious hit piece Leaving Neverland has been thoroughly debunked & only served to further solidify Michael Jackson's innocent, & expose the lies against him, despite the media's corrupt attempts to artificially legitimize that slanderous farce. There are some great "fact based" rebuttals out there that i suggest you check out.
