Do you believe the Michael Jackson allegations?

For me it’s undeniable and the evidence is overwhelming, but I’m shocked by the amount of people who don’t.

We’ll see what happens in Safechuck’s trial. His team would be very stupid to bring in that non-evidence.

What has been disproved? If you mean specific places then it’s not really surprising that people would misremember things after 40 years is it? That doesn’t mean that the abuse didn’t happen.

JS in particular seems to be a man in pain.

I think I could convince people I'm in pain if it meant I could get millions of dollars. That Casio man though...no. He won't win any awards for his acting 🤦‍♂️

I’ve seen a clip ‘Imagine a little child with his little backpack on to schooool waaaaa booo hoooo’ <scrunched up face, teeth gnashing> (no tears!) 🙄

There’s no proof of Jackson buying a ring for Safechuck.

Yes there is !! there is a security video from the jewellery store Jackson looks very creepy, (more than he usually did) his disguise is not even good.
but I predict you will say it’s a fake video 🤷🏻‍♀️

Still waiting for this "video".

why? You just said you won’t watch anything with the ‘scammer’ in ?

Oh behave. Stop deflecting. There's no video and you know it 🤦‍♂️😬😄

SqueakyFromme · 16/05/2026 13:20

@AutumnLover1990 yes, sorry to break it to you but there is. it was on the documentary called `leaving neverland’ which if you have watched you would have seen. 🤷🏻‍♀️ have you watched that documentary ?
I predicted you would say it is fake, but you have gone a step further and said it doesn’t exist, so really there is no point in trying to engage with you rationally.

I'm talking about the alleged video of the jewellery shop.

MyTrivia · 16/05/2026 14:45

It’s the totality of the evidence that is so convincing. And the stories are all identical textbook grooming of the children and their families. The denial is ridiculous from delusional fans.

It’s very similar to Jimmy Savile. The only difference is that Savile did his assaults with violence and nastiness whilst MJ was always gentle and convinced the children the sexual assaults were part of a loving relationship. And the children (some of them) enjoyed it and said it felt like they were special and they were dating him. Meanwhile, he’d tell them that nobody can know because they wouldn’t understand. Textbook grooming 🤷🏻‍♀️

The CCTV footage does exist and you can see MJ and JS walking and looking at jewellery. As well as the wedding ring, JS was also gifted other jewellery - he still has it in a box which he shows on LN. Small rings that would only fit a child.

Also I defy anyone to listen to the recording of MJ saying to 10 year old Jimmy ‘what was my best part of going to Hawaii? Being with you’ and not to feel sick.

How convenient that you don't mention the other book.

The one that MJ had inscribed himself, saying 'Look at the true spirit of happiness and joy in these boys' faces. This is the spirit of boyhood, a life I never had and will always dream of. This is the life I want for my children. M.J'.

And in that one 90% of the contents was of nude boys.

Interesting how he makes out he's so childlike and surrounds himself with boys and he seems to think the spirit of boyhood is boys hanging around naked all the time...and then he gets accused of sexual abuse multiple times.

Edited

The prosecutor attempted to introduce this book to suggest Michael Jackson had a prurient interest in boys, claiming that 90% of its contents depicted nude children; however, this figure was never measured, verified, or established by the court.

The book was allowed as evidence and shown to the jury. The prosecution, however, did not show that MJ ever viewed or used the book in any inappropriate way beyond inscribing a note on the flyleaf.

Nothing in his inscription suggests nudity or sexual content, and it was likely written in reference to the cover, which shows boys in swimsuits jumping into a pool. It is therefore unfounded and illogical to claim it means he thought “the spirit of boyhood is boys hanging around naked all the time,” and connecting the inscription to abuse allegations is purely speculative.

You're trying to talk like a barrister but this isn't a court of law.

There's nothing to suggest that the inscription was written in reference to the cover.
MJ knew exactly what was in the book, hence why it was locked in a filing cabinet.

everyoldsock · 16/05/2026 16:08

The totality of the evidence against Jackson adds up to very little, as has been clear on this thread and the other one.

kkloo · 16/05/2026 16:12

@Shs726
The defense could have verified the figure if they wanted to. And Wade Robson confirmed in his testimony (while looking at the book on the stand at the 2005 trial) that most of the photos were of nude boys.

AutumnLover1990 · 16/05/2026 16:21

I don't see anything on those videos to suggest he was buy a wedding ring for a 12 year old boy?? Did I miss something? The title is pure rage and click bait 🙄

The inscription relates to the book, which in some pages has photos of naked boys with their legs spread and genitals on display.

There are also interviews with the store manager who says he was buying a wedding ring.

Apparently for Sheryl Crowe. He didn't mention anything sinister.

Yes and he said that he didn’t know those books were in his house. When asked about it, his explanation was that fans sent it to him and he didn’t know they were inside his house.

Why would he have? He wouldn’t have known he was buying a wedding ring for a child would he?

MyTrivia · 16/05/2026 17:10

He was quite keen on pretending to be in romantic relationships with women who had no idea. Like when he told Oprah that he was dating Brooke Shields and they were ‘in love’. After the interview she phoned him up asking him wtf? Because she was engaged to Andre Agassi at the time.
