I feel upset, sick and cheated by Leaving Neverland

I was one of those people who kept saying the men are out to make money. That there’s no evidence etc. But I finally watched the documentary yesterday and it’s hurt me a lot. I feel like I was lied to my whole life. I know it sounds so melodramatic and selfish but MJ was my idol growing up. I remember being 7 years old and dancing and singing his songs.

Now I feel sick to the core. If Wade Robson and James Safechuck are lying, then they’re incredibly good liars.

MJ was a paedophile.

James Safechuck is a (wealthy) software designer who works in IT, he's never been a professional performer. You need to check your facts.

Here's his LinkedIn:

Why do you keep saying 'you've been triggered', 'you've been triggered by such an emotive subject'? It's incredibly patronising and passive aggressive. You can't speak for other people. Another poster said they are not triggered and neither am I. You can't keep repeating things and hoping they will become true.
The 'holes' in the two boys' stories can easily be explained- there are multiple simple explanations.
The fact that frightened, abused children testified (I don't think James did actually?) because of a sense of loyalty to their abuser says exactly that: they were under his spell. How can a child groomed from such a young age even have a concept that their 'relationship' was wrong until much older anyway? You could see even as men, James and Wade are still struggling with it.
Not everyone was convinced by Wade's testimony anyway, you would know this if you looked into it.

Never been an a professional performer? How did he meet MJ? It was in the documentary. He was a child actor. Wade also did some projects and was in films but they flopped.

Written by an abuse victim themselves. There are people seeing this from all angles. There is also an interested video on that article which Dan Reed is part of.

I didn’t realise the UK got a different version to the US. It was apparently edited in relation to timelines and factual errors in the original.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 01/04/2019 11:13

I'm not sure how anyone could've watched the documentary and not seen two utterly broken/abused men.

sashh · 02/04/2019 12:01

They are both professional actors/performers that was their job. They have now convinced people that what they are now saying is the truth.

There is a documentary on Youtube from years ago, it was made a year or two after the Bashir one, it tells the story of two boys, one is mentioned by name.

The accounts are the same as from leaving Neverland.

ccmrob12 · 03/04/2019 13:22

Well, we’ll even the director of this film has now come out saying James couldn’t have been abused in the dates given in the film. The lies are starting to unravel. Clearly didn’t know neverland that well.

You are talking three years, not dates. It's not like getting a month or day wrong. How many more lies do you want to make excuses for? Simple fact is, some don't want to know if was guilty or not, they have made their mind up.

Dan Reed said he double checked and triple checked for any inaccuracies. I guess he didn't check his facts enough before giving these lies a platform. There is a reason they waited to so long to come out with these stories, they cannot be done for slander. They know they have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

I think they could both come out and admit they were lying and there would be people willing to make excuses for them.

LunafortJest · 04/04/2019 09:09

@ccmrob12 You are posting links to tabloids and YT fan clips. Not credible. It is more than obvious that you have done little to no research at all, and the only research you have done, is from made up articles by tabloids and YT fanbot clips. I have heard every argument going from the fans, and there is an answer to everything they come up with.

LunafortJest · 04/04/2019 09:12

@ccmrob12 The info is from a former FBI agent who investigated Jackson:

"So what did we learn from the Jim Clemente interview.
1/ There was no formal 10 to 13 year investigation into Michael Jackson
2/ The FBI did want to bring a federal case against Michael Jackson but because of the statute of limitations it did not happen
3/ Jim Clemente in 2001 reached out to Michael Jackson's head of security and told the head of security that he was responsible for the safety of the young child in MJ's entourage
4/ Jim Clemente also told the head of the security if MJ was a pedophile that he could help him and gave him his card
5/ There was another victim during the investigation that shut down during the grand jury and because of this MJ could not be charged for that victim
6/ The FBI found both Jordan and Gavin credible and Jim Clemente stated that Jordan did accurately describe the markings on MJ's genitalia
7/That there will more than likely be more victims coming forward"

@ccmrob12 "All the facts were laid out in court and the man was exonerated. Simple."

All the facts were laid out in court and OJ Simpson was exonerated. Simple.

What is truly simple, or simplistic, is your child-like thought process. You are brainwashed and haven't the ability to research or think for yourself. 5+ victims. Multiple testimonies from witnesses. FBI thought he was guilty.

There is no smoke without fire. For goodness sake, WAKE UP.

LunafortJest · 04/04/2019 09:25

@ccmrob12 You are deeply misinformed. The FBI said the drawings DID match. And when erect, which is how he drawed Jackson's penis, foreskins often extend to the length and make it look uncircumcised.

You really have done absolutely no research at all, have you?

LunafortJest · 04/04/2019 09:29

@ccmrob12 They recovered a picture of a naked boy. How did you not know this? It is in the evidence log.

You clearly have not seen this. READ IT!!! www.sbscpublicaccess.org/docs/ctdocs/011805pltreqaseemd.pdf?fbclid=IwAR3ekxso__b2_wGJiPE14gnp4FewFBILv-MrF4iGh2wZR07Ce_4pE68ANJ4

LunafortJest · 04/04/2019 09:46

@ccmrob12 On the one hand you say "Of course all the stories add up, they both saw the testimonies of the other two in the past and made them match up as they were in similar situations to them. "

then you say some details are false.

You're having a bet each way, if the stories add up, it's because they read others' testimony. If there are any details wrong (and victims usually forget a lot of details as they block it out - I could not remember every detail or date of my abuse) it's because they're lying. Your desperation is palpable.

"The thing that get's me about all this is the timing of it all. Wade only made the accusations after he felt slighted by the estate. He started to have big financial problems and then he makes his claim for millions."
That had absolutely nothing to do with it, you are reaching. He is a famous choreographer and co-wrote songs with Britney Spears and Nsync. He's made a million at least, in royalties alone, and continues to do so. He has no need for money. Safechuck owns an I.T company in California and his salary has 6 noughts after it. He, ALSO, has no need for money. Neither of them were paid for the documentary, not a cent. So THAT debunks your lie about them needing money. Also, the timing would have been better if he went for money back when he was alive and Gavin was after him.

It makes NO SENSE for him to do this now. So that proves you wrong.

James was present at Neverland before and after the train station was built. In fact he took photos of the completed station which we included in the doc. And his sexual contact with Michael lasted into his teens. That’s all in the film. The train was there in 1993. In fact, there was already a train line on the original property in 1973. 20 years before. m.youtube.com/watch?v=d0-G2L-0kJ4 1993 commercial shows the train .... can’t have train without a station can we lol

LunafortJest · 04/04/2019 09:51

@ccmrob12 Safechuck spoke about having a 'wedding ceremony' after him and Jackson went looking at rings. After the documentary, a news anchor thought it sounded familiar and found and showed a newsreel of Jackson and Safechuck looking at rings. Safechuck was vindicated and proven to have told the truth. www.news.com.au/entertainment/celebrity-life/celebrities-gone-bad/chilling-footage-of-michael-jackson-shopping-for-wedding-ring-with-leaving-neverland-accuser/news-story/3251ce9acff2ab139486a4c47f36037c?fbclid=IwAR3pusymXPB-ZxANRNnYi7FK3ivcKYg5FgkQmbVnvUHfD-urbEwHwkOtpOY

False. Fake news. The Director said NO....SUCH.....THING. That trashy tabloid MADE IT UP. It has been proven fake news.

But it's obvious that you rely on tabloids as sources, your only sources are Jackson fans that are willing to lie and manipulate to create a narrative that distorts the truth, You Tube 'clips' that any lunatic fan can splice together and present false facts in, and vicious and malicious filthy lies by tabloid 'journos'.

It is very clear to me you've done no research whatsoever apart from 'confirmation bias' sites. Heck, you didn't even know that the raids found a photo of a naked boy! You clearly haven't read the list of items recovered in the raid. You clearly believed the LIE that the train wasn't there in 1993 WHEN IT WAS. One wonders if you know anything at all.

It is very clear to me that you have convinced yourself that you are objective, and repeat it as if you are reminding/convincing yourself of it. However, your sources are all tabloids, fans and junk. You do not do any objective research, I doubt you've even seen the documentary. You may eventually fool yourself into believing you know the truth, but to the rest of us, you just come across as a naive, gullible, brainwashed fan who only looks at sources you want to believe, and dismisses real facts.

LunafortJest · 04/04/2019 10:02

These men have nothing at all to gain, and everything to lose. At this point I honestly believe that if a deathbed confession from MJ himself surfaced, the brainwashed fanbots would say it was an impersonator.

They have invested so so sooo ever so much in believing the fairytale Jackson spun them, that they have no choice but to continue to defend him come hell or high water. They will never admitted they were deceived by him. They will never lose face.

I was mainly shocked to realise how effective and large scale his grooming was. How he managed to build this persona that allowed him to groom young boys in plain sight. How so many of us fell for it. And how many others are there who are doing the same to us now.

This man here is more involved than any of you lot. All of his arguments comes from the news, news papers and documents.

LunafortJest · 04/04/2019 11:01

@thetwits Involved on the Jackson estate money side, you mean? His arguments come from tabloid news papers most which have been proven to be fake news. Read the actual documents and evidence on here that backs up Safechuck's testimony.

Stop being so gullible as to assume a self-proclaimed expert taking Jackson estate money knows anything. If you are that naive and gullible to believe that, you will believe anything.

thetwits · 04/04/2019 11:05

I'm a mother of 4 children what do you think I believe in.

LunafortJest · 04/04/2019 11:07

@thetwits Why would you link to a Jackson fan and insider then who has been on their payroll, as a source of any integrity?
