Why hasn’t Michael Jackson been cancelled??

Anyone who can look at these photos and not see how creepy and predatory this man was is delusional.

I love his music
I shouldn’t
But I do

I believe the 2 men who gave their interviews and it’s truly awful and Jackson is 100% to blame for his actions and he should have been stopped.

I do get it i suppose, my friend thought he was a musical genius and he's a big part of musical history. Personally I thought he was naff as fuck.😆

His legacy can't be cancelled that's ridiculous, but he was a raging pedophile.

Kevin Spacey is a wrongun but I love American Beauty.

Both things cam be true

Its literally documented and beyond doubt that he did have sleepovers with pre teen kids in his bedroom.

If we take at his word that it was all sweet and childlike and they watched movies etc, thats still a massive safeguarding risk and scope for emotional abuse even if nothing sexual occurred.

As ive said before it wouldnt be accepted that any Joe bBlogs could innocently have kids to play, take them to a theme park and then stay in his bed. It wouldnt happen because people would (not unreasonably) assume he was a paedophile. Ive no idea why MJ gets a special free pass on this.

I agree, OP - I saw people queuing up to see the stage show last year and honestly felt repulsed.

Because there was never anything conclusive, because it was all muddied by the huge amounts of money his accusers taken from MJ, and because his music is so fucking brilliant.

He’s dead and he didn’t do anything. Ok it wasn’t normal what he did but I don’t believe he abused any kids

People are not naive, they just want to believe he was innocent so they can feel happy about playing his music.

If you're ridiculously rich or piwerful you can get away with a lot for a very long time.

Epstein, Weinstein, good old Andy Moubtbatten.

In recent years thankfully it's rarer as brave victims speak out. I have no doubt there are numerous others who kept their heads down due to the raving fans.

@vickylou78 You’re very naive if you can’t see that the amount of money he had played a huge factor in him evading any charges. The same reason Trump appears untouchable and a certain ageing British pop star has avoided all charges so far.

Yes, really, to millions of people.

You need to understand better the effects of grooming. It’s very common for abused children to defend their pedophile abusers for years and years. Sometimes forever. It happens in situations where nobody was a world famous superstar, too.

You’re right.

Nowadays it happens behind closed doors, not in public or on a popular island visited by many celebrities. It’s disgusting how prevalent sexual abuse against children is, if anything it’s just gone underground, with access to the internet they can access those desperate families abroad for their children.
It makes me sick. The elite have their own rules.

Well for years and years they publicly defended MJ and they lived with him, spent Christmases with him, wrote books about him being wonderful, did interviews defending him.

Then as soon as he is dead (and they can't benefit from his generosity any more), they try extortion. The family brought forward these accusations of abuse after demanding $213 million. The court judge ruled in favor of the MJ Estate as their claims lacked sufficient evidence. There was also the whole debacle about the fake MJ songs that Eddie Cascio produced etc. and the song that Frank said he wrote etc.

She also told him after they got married that he should stop spending time with young boys and he told her to get lost basically.

He was obsessed with prepubescent boys and he couldn’t stop his offending if he wanted to.

Oh yuck 🤮

Yeah, his music wasn’t necessarily the best although catchy. His dancing and voice set him apart.

Go and watch the other documentary, about other victims.
Exactly the same pattern. They all loved him so much and didn’t understand they were being abused until they started to get older.

In Wade's case he totally defended MJ and lied to protect him... until he himself had his own child, and he imagined THAT child being the age he was and someone doing to him what Michael did to him... that the full horror of it him him. Up until then the grooming had worked so well on him...

Similarly with this other family... ir was only when each one reached adulthood and started looking at kids the age they were when Michael started abusing them that they realised the full extent of how wrong what he'd done to them was.

Yeh.

He made sure he did as he was very keen to have the child of the king of rock. He hadnt had a physical relationship with a woman until then. He wanted a brood mare and told her Debbie would have his child if she didnt. She states in her book she wouldn't consider it.

I watched a interview with her where when asked if they had a normal marriage. She giggled embarrassedly and said if he was in town they hung out😆

Admittedly she didn't think he was a child abuser and said she loved him...but there are lots of women fooled by pedophiles and indeed have moved them into their children's lives without knowing.

I think he was a hideous child abuser but I dont think his musical legacy should be cancelled, I found him naff in the extreme before he was accused so im not a fan and have no skin in the game, just think enjoy his music if that's your thing but goodness open your eyes to what he was

Not really, his music was pretty shite, All that ‘hee heeding’ Gross…

He also said strange things about how children marrying adults being normal in some cultures.

Agree, I can't stand this stupid cancel culture. People can decide for themselves.

I thought he was a pedophile. Who says along the lines "of course I share my bed with children, its a beautiful thing" 😤 you know fine well a normal guy just would NOT get away with that but because its MJ?? Nah.

What is this crap about ‘proven liars’?

What exactly is a proven liar? A person who has ever told a lie? So, every person in existence then.

I’ll tell you who was a pathological liar - MJ himself with his repeated assertions that he never had more than one nose job and that Blanket’s mum was black. In one interview he knew her, in another she was an egg donor.
