I truly don't believe there was anything sinister with regards to Michael Jackson. I feel his father made Michaels life a living hell. To the point of approaching clinical castrations in order to keep his voice high pitched to sell more songs
Being clinically castrated he would have had no urges.
I know one thing for sure if anyone, and I mean anyone sexually abused any of my kids, there would be no amount of money that would stop me from obtaining the absolute highest penalty of prosecution for the perbatrator. Would you accept money from someone who abused your kids?
I'd rip him limb from limb.
Yet his so called victims settled for money.... Would you?
Michael was an easy target, he lived his childhood through his adult life. He was no abuser, he was an easy target wide open for exploiting and he paid a heavy price for his innocence
His father making his life a living hell does NOT excuse his actions.
Jackson was not chemically castrated. In fact, videos of him in later years showed he put on his 'high' speaking voice and singing voice as a gimmick. It made him sound 'innocent'. It was an act. His real voice was deep.

This 'argument' can go BOTH WAYS. If you were innocent of a crime you were accused of, would YOU pay out? He paid off it is estimated between 4 and 21 kids. The FBI believes it was 21. Where there is smoke, there is fire. If someone accused you of molesting a child, WOULD YOU PAY OUT?
My late father was molested by a Catholic Priest. He got a measly $40 thousand dollars. Most of which went to lawyers. Now, you are very lucky you are not in the room with me to tell me to my face that my father must not have been abused because he accepted the money. Very lucky. I would not be responsible for my actions. The priest was 'too old' and he was let go.
There was NO PROSPECT OF MY FATHER GETTING ANY LEGAL JUSTICE. Are you saying he, and other victims, are not entitled to COMPENSATION?!?? If you fall over at work, you get compensation. If you or your house is damaged, you get compensation. If someone defames you, you are entitled to compensation. If you fall in a shopping mall and break a hip where there are obstacles and not cordoned off and no signs or warnings, you can get compensation for your injuries.
Is there some reason why you think a child who was molested, it destroyed their life, their relationships, turned them into an alcoholic and/or committed suicide, that they (or family members) are 'not' eligible for compensation????
Have a good think about that.
Damn right I'd, and any victim would, settle for COMPENSATION!
Jackson was clearly as guilty as sin, and he HID IN PLAIN SIGHT. A classic double bluff. He made people like yourself believe he was weird upfront but upfront so he was harmless. He hid in plain sight, and you fell for it. And his innocent VICTIMS paid a heavy price for people like yourself being blindsided by Jackson.
Believe me, no man makes up accusations like that. In fact, most men will DENY IT, like my father did. They'd rather gnaw off their arm and eat it, than admit they were molested. No grown man lies about something like that. And there is far, far too much smoke here. When a person, especially a man, says they were abused, BELIEVE THEM. Especially when they out themselves, knowing the abuse, death threats etc etc they will get from the more unhinged fans in the fan base.
