Anyone watching this? Second part was this evening but Im watching the others now

Interesting that so far theres no medical views about what was wrong with Jackson emotionally, strikes me that he must have been PD?

Another MJ series is on BBC iplayer this week (3 parts)
Some of the contributors are the same.
His spiritual advisor (also prominent in the channel 4 doc) says that the Martin Bashir documentary was instrumental in his death, and his manager said it came out really badly and Michael was v upset about it. I know Martin Bashir has been discredited/cancelled but there was a lot that is literally straight from MJ himself. There was footage of him, behaving in a bizarre and totally erratic way trying to bottle feed his baby, while jiggling him on his knee and covering his face in a scarf. I mean fair enough if you dont want them in the public eye...but literally ask for the baby not to be filmed or keep them from the cameras. Then all the BS about how lovely and innocent the sleepovers were...
Im yet to watch part 3 ....

Yes. I agree. It was all rather odd. There is a scene where Prince is crying about something and MJ won't give him a cookie for some unclear reason. I think, unfortunately, some of his father's parenting may have been copied by him subconsciously.

Show quote history

That bit was terrible, also the feeding of whatever child it was, blanket, with his leg jigging up and down and being more concerned with covering the child's face and being quite angry
