Michael Jackson

[C4tintherug]

Why has Michael Jackson not been cancelled?

I don’t understand why a musical has been made out of his music, and why his music is played at school discos and is still everywhere.

After I watched the documentary where the men described how he raped them, I won’t listen to his music at all, in fact, I feel a sense of disgust when it is played publicly.

I don’t understand why we seem to have cancelled everyone else except him. Is it because he died before he was officially found guilty?

YANBU.

I can't believe that anyone who has seen Leaving Neverland can believe he is innocent. Or anyone who knows anything about James Safechuck or Wade Robson. It is 100% obvious that they are telling the truth.

I wish I could separate the music from the artist, but unfortunately cannot listen to his music without thinking about what he has done.

What I don't understand is how his biopic is going ahead.

I've never believed it. I just looked up and watched Leaving Neverland after reading this thread. A few people have commented about inconsistencies in the witness' stories. Can anyone fill me in ?

I'm watching Square One on YouTube to refresh my memory of it. It's an interesting watch.

Read back through all of my posts and tell me where I’ve ever said that Saville is innocent. Quite the opposite.

In which case you will agree that the statement that Savile should not be around childrenis not a “feeling” but a fact.

What a load of utter nonsense!

MJ fans are incredibly obsessive about him and his mediocre music.

Tell me you have never listened to more than 3 Michael Jackson songs without telling me you've never listened to more than 3 Michael Jackson songs!

Some people like to make up nonsense, and reach for the stars to find a 'reason' why 'people are guilty really,' when it's not the verdict they want. I hope to fuck that none of the MJ bashers on here are EVER on any jury!

Prove it!

You prove it's true! You can't. Because it's a load of steaming bull!

Like I just said, it's amazing what people make up, to try to prove themselves 'right.' Some will even go as far as to find a fake news story to 'prove' they are correct! 😆

As IF Michael Jackson's defence could pick the jury, and make sure they're a bunch of starstruck fans! Give over FFS! 😂 You're deluded!!!

!

Knowing what we know now, yes, of course. But the plain fact is, the BBC were complicit in allowing situations where he could access children and engage in abuse. And the fact remains that Saville was dead before he could be brought to justice, MJ was tried and acquitted. Big difference.

I was asking a question not telling you what happened. What I think happened is that he was a nonce and groomed at least 8 little boys, I suspect it's a whole lot more though, but feel free to tell me my opinion is "a load of steaming bull" that is your right after all.

Saville was dead when his crimes came to light. Jackson was tried and acquitted. Not the same thing. At all.

I’m not particularly a fan. And as I’ve said before if the charges were sleeping in a bed with children and preferring to spend his time with them, he would have been convicted. The charges were child abuse and they weren’t proven beyond reasonable doubt. And most of the comments here from detractors can be characterised as ‘feelz’ because the fact is that he was acquitted, regardless of what they think.

The load of steaming bull this poster called you out on was your assertion that Jacksons’ defence team ‘hand picked’ the jury based on whether they were fans, ‘starstruck’, or somehow in their pay, or whatever other utter bullshit you came up with to support your narrative. It’s been explained to you how actual jury selection in the real USA works, as opposed to the Hollywood courtroom drama version you seem to be clinging to.

Wacko jacko was the biggest dirtiest pedo to ever walk the earth . All the nounces can flap their tongues all they like and get hot under the collar . He’s where he deserves to be . In hell .

I asked if that was what happened not stated. I have said what I think of that vile man multiple times. I also don't believe someone as rich and powerful as Jackson didn't use underhand tactics in that court case. My narrative is he's a filthy nonce, I also don't watch "Hollywood courtroom dramas" so have no idea what happens on screen or in real life.
I also think that if it was reinvestigated now it would have a different outcome.

Wondered when you’d surface again. How’s the anger management going ?

Well you'd let Lucy Letby babysit your kids so not much room to talk...

It is surprising how many posters on MN of all places seem to be perfectly comfortable with a grown man sleeping in a bed with random children - but not just children, boys. No sleepovers with girls that I have ever heard of. Boys. Not just any boys, but boys of a particular age.

Little boys who later grew up to tell what actually happened to them. Little boys whose entire lives were twisted and hampered by shame.

The lawsuits and the pay-offs were the tip of the iceberg.

Good to know you'd send your own little boys off to sleepovers with some man, so long as he was famous and made what you term good music.

According to a report by NBC News, authorities in the early 1990s investigation thought there might have been as many as eight or 10 other victims.

Michael Jackson sexual abuse allegations: The complete list of accusations. (slate.com)

Unless new evidence has come to light to change the original verdict it wouldn’t. And so far everything is conjecture.

OJ Simpson was found innocent

It is weird that he would sleep in bed with them, and weird that their parents allowed it. But watching the documentaries it seems he was friends with them, like he had the mind of a child

Oh god I thankfully forgot how utterly disgusting those accusations were! Those poor boys!
