Michael Jackson stories

After the new film has come out. Does anyone have any stories of meeting Michael Jackson or hearing about someone you know meeting him?

One year Michael Jackson came to live in Ireland for a time. It was after his trial was over. I think he was in Ireland between 6 months to a year.
I lived in Ireland near to where he stayed for a length of time. He went to our local cinema and the child play area. I know a man that worked with MJ in Ireland. He said that he was very nice and that he was a really, really good father. That was it really.

Anyone have any other stories?

What do you mean why though. I have said why. He is a big topic of conversation at the moment, as the film about him is out.

And we have had loads of threads on mumsnet before

"Tell me stories about when you met a celebrity in real life. What were they like".

He went to the 'child play area'? Did he have a child with him?
I have no stories about meeting him, thank God, as I would've ran a mile. Especially if I'd had my young daughters with me, although maybe they'd have been safe with them not being young boys.

Yes he had a child with him. :) He was a father to three children of his own.

We all know he’s guilty. Lots of guilty people get away with things.

You’d only know if he was guilty if you’d been abused by him. Don’t believe stories you hear

Don’t forget the allegations that have surfaced since his death.
