Michael Jackson

I agree. Nothing was proven. But I think that it is the PARENTS who should be charged for pimping out their children to a stranger for money. Wasn't there a case recently about a 15 year old American boy who had shot school mates and his parents were charged for giving him a gun for Christmas?

Who hands their children out to stay with a stranger?

The parents made money of MJ then and they're doing it now. It's impossible to know what did or didn't happen.

No documentary has produced conclusive evidence. It’s just more conjecture dressed up as ‘proof innit ?’

One of the guys from the documentary auditioned to be on one of the posthumous MJ tours, but didn’t get it. Why would you want to do that if that person had abused you? It was years after his death. It’s easy to get money from someone once they’re dead and can’t defend themselves.

Michael was found unanimously not guilty. His accusers have been proven to lie. There is a plethora of facts that support the fact that Michael was innocent.

Just because you read in a magazine or see it on a tv screen don’t make it factual!

Where is the proof that JC wasn’t lying ? Just because he reasserted that he’d been abused in a later court case, doesn’t make it any truer than the first time round. And it doesn’t make MJ a paedophile however much you want it to be true.

Yes exactly. But why let the facts get in the way of a good bashing of an innocent men eh? 😎

What principle though ? He wasn’t found guilty of anything. The evidence against Saville was overwhelming.

Are you prepared to cancel most hollywood movies, we all know about the casting couch harassments, young actresses/actors coerced into sexual favours, same thing happens in the music industry. Boy George was on prime British TV even though he assaulted a young male escort and there are many more perverts who still work in the industry. MJ was tried and found innocent and his music is here to stay forever, he will never be cancelled by those who love him. Even if he was found guilty I would still listen to his music. You are free to cancel any artist but his music is loved by millions worldwide. Personally I do not believe any of the accusations, their interest has always been about how much money they can get out of him, he was a cash cow for too many people.

But that’s only your opinion isn’t it ? Other people clearly disagree. That doesn’t make them bizarre, just mature enough to recognise that he wasn’t convicted of anything and able to separate out their enjoyment of his music.

He probably was a paedophile. That doesn’t mean that his music isn’t an inescapable part of pop culture history. What are you going to do? Loads of artists are absolute cunts and criminals.

No, I don't want to protect those men. But you asked how Elvis could have found Priscilla attractive, and I said that she looked much older - and also that he should have left her alone when he found out that she wasn't older!

14 and looked much older than she was. I think there's hardly a straight man in the world who wouldn't have wanted her.

One of the most problematic things I’ve read on here in a while. So pedohilia’s ok because the poor men can’t help themselves if she ‘looks older’ and is very attractive?

And for all those saying he just liked being around children because of his childhood do you not find it strange that he seemed to have a type.. Never little girls??!
There's not another person on earth who could go on television and for any reason say that they enjoy sharing their beds with multiple children and think that was acceptable.
Along with all the other shit like dangling a baby by its neck from a window.. But then you know, Thriller was an amazing album so let's ignore it,

Nonce sympathisers gonna sympathise with nonces!

He might have died found innocent in a court of law, but he groomed children and nothing will ever convince me otherwise!

A great dancer, though I can't stand to watch him because he was a creep. The popularity of his music is a mystery to me - it just sounds like a creepier falsetto-ier version of what every other mediocre pop star was doing at the time. Maybe Jackson's music is ephemeral after all, and will be forgotten when the last Gen Xer is gone. We were the ones who all seemed obsessed with the man in one way or another, whether we collected his albums or hid behind the sofa when he was on the telly!

If he were so innocent why did he settle out of court and pay hush money.
A pedophile sees nothing wrong with showing love to children and often vulnerable children who they deem in need of such attention.

Like many abusers they are extremely adept at hiding manipulating and presenting a different voice.

I won't be seeing the show and I can not listen to his music

That’s rich. You haven’t produced anything but conjecture and opinion, and you’re wading in with insults against anyone who disagrees with you, to the point of insults. I suggest a cool shower🚿 and a nice lie down🛌.

You're coming out with paedophilic excuses in an effort to protect a predator. Bill Wyman said the same thing about 13 year old Mandy Smith, that she had the face of a child but the body of a woman. You're tarring all men with the same brush, I doubt many would find a child alluring.

Too true . Weak voice .

Jimmy Saville
