I don't know many who are still defending him. Most of the people think he was a boy molester but they still like his music. The downfall of his career is an example of how many people judged him and believed he was guilty. I personally don't have an opinion about it, I just like his music

Many people definitely do defend him even until this day, more than the amount of people who say bad things about him. His record sales before his death and especially after it also suggests that and all the homages dedicated to him as well. He never had a downfall, he just died. He may have had bad press and whatnot but, he was going on one of the biggest tours of his life before he died. And up until his death he was still one of the most, if not the most successful celebrity of his time.

Interesting to see someone's else perception. I honestly didn't meet or talked to many people who thought he was not guilty. I personally felt his career went down - he tried to revive it with few singles but no success. I believe his tour would be a huge success, people are attached to his old music and to the person he was before the scandal.

You also have no proof of what you claim. He may or may not have been. We don't know. You ask why people still defend his memory and it's because they either grew up in that age, or there's NO PROOF, or a mix of the two.

You look grossly ignorant to throw hatred out with no proof. Now stop being a fucking moron.

aww another bitch mad at my opinion....go cry about it

And thats to everyone who keeps bringing up wheres my proof....

where is your proof that he didnt commit the acts he was accused of...i got all day Stans

Yeah, I really don't know what to believe. He shared his bed with young boys, that one bothers me. Then again I know how vicious people are at grabbing an opportunity to make a shitload if money. Hmm and he settled out of court, that makes him look guilty.

I wouldn't just let anyone babysit my kid, e3. If its not family or close friends, slim chance.

If I don't know them, not a chance. Someone may have a clean record, never convicted, but turns out to be a douche.

You wouldn't let your kid go to MJ's house?

If I wont let a stranger babysit my kid, why would I let him be at a stranger's household?

Stans,

can I ask you another question?

Why would they go for Mike and not anyone else with a shit ton of money?

Stans lol wtf

A lot of other celebrities got blackmailed and had to pay money to people who made up lies about them, he wasn't the only one. In MJ's case, the circumstances just allowed for it to be easier. He was an easy target. He had a ranch that was his home that kids wanted to visit and asked to stay in and unfortunately he was naive enough to let them stay over.

Yeah but in his bed?

Maybe he was naive, but he had a lot of people around him who I am sure advised him that that was not a good idea. Sleeping with boys in one bed is just calling for trouble. The whole trial and details around it seem ambiguous and its not clear what actually happened there. Its not like the OJ case where it was clear as a day and he still got away... which just confirms, just because you got a jail out of free card, it doesn't mean you are not guilty smh

By the end of day, you just have to be careful who you deal with.

You know what they say, it's always the person closest to you, that you actually trust them with your kids, that do this.

^ agree

Statistics don't lie:

Approximately 2/3 of rapes were committed by someone known to the victim.
73% of sexual assaults were perpetrated by a non-stranger.

Jen be specific not just kids but lil boys. Did we hear about any innocent stories of Mike having girls in his bed no. But we did hear about those boys. How do you know it isn't true? You sound very sure that Mike was lil innocent boy being picked on...how are you so sure?

I honestly don't get how he got kids around him in the first place. When I was little, his face scared me to death LOL!

Lol that was during the later years of his life. During those "Rock With Me" and "Thriller" days he was very sexy, it was mostly in the way he carried himself. And even around the time he made Dirty Diana, when he did shit like this:

The girls would just drop their panties and throw them at him lol

how do you know so much about him, you are only 22! lol
He was not sexy to me, I always imagined him like a girl stuck in a man's body

I defend Micheal Jackson to this day. Why? Because he spread truth. Its dismissive to think he was batshit crazy or a pedophile. The media did everything they could to destroy his image. He has more dedicated fans than politicians. At his level of fame, I could only imagine his words and motives being watched like a hawk. Just look at Hollywood's history. People who spoke out against the system were ridiculed for rape, drug abuse, domestic violence, or pedophilia.

Was he really guilty though, or was he dealing with money hungry parents? If he was guilty then why did those parents settle for money? IDK about you, but if my child was violated like that, no amount of cash would stop me from getting justice. I honestly doubt their stories.

Same.

Right? Dude was creepy, but he had power and money and parents overlooked the creepy perhaps.

He knew his behavior was scrutinized. No one to blame but himself for his rep

I liked his music tho.

No, he had a life & a name to protect unlike them. Court cases go on forever & he had things to get back to ie. concerts etc. So he settled out of court because he had better things to do & I'm sure he knew exactly what they were after so he gave it to them...a fat cheque.

Plus paedophiles don't discriminate, they even 'do it' to their own children & family members. If Michael was indeed a true paedophile, how come he never touched his own kids, nephews & nieces?

I don't idolize anybody, he was my favorite artist, the best of all time. I valued his life thus the loss of it made me sad.

unlike you, i don't believe he molested those kids, so equating him to known molesters is bs.

prove it, substantiate it, or stfu

The thing is I don't have to shut up. I won't. You will deal.

Opportunity. Everyone knew he liked kids. Like womanising celebrities can be accused of rape.

Him being an adult man liking kids so much is creepy as fuck. If it were anyone else other than MJ he wouldn't get a pass. A grown man liking kids the way he did isn't normal or right. It's sick. He had a preoccupation with it. If you look into the history of pedophiles and molesters a lot of them have the same preoccupation, a history of liking children. Why is it any different for MJ.

I'm sure MJ isn't the only Pedophile to touch his fam. him touching his nieces i would highly doubt it because he is a gay molester had he been straight then i think he would be capable of touching girls too.

I do know is that MJ was accused by more than one person for molesting boys. There are also allegations about Macauly Caulkin. I don't need to know more. He is a pedo

Geez, you just got me thinking, Santa Clause must be a paedophile too. What's with him & kids on his lap?

A man liking kids doesn't mean he is a paedophile lol...that's insane. Other people just have a soft spot for kids because well, kids are non-judgmental & will accept a person plastic nose & all. Maybe he felt a connection with them because of that. I really don't know. I still believe he wasn't a sleazy old man, just misunderstood. Like they say, no good deed goes unpunished. Only the Almighty & those children know what truly happened...we all weren't there, so these are just opinions at the end of the day. And the court of law didn't find him guilty, so this is pretty useless at this point...it's not like he'll ever stand trial again.

Here's another artist who stood up for what he believed in and left us too soon. It raises questions.. Sorry for hijacking your thread but I wanted to post this too.

He was accused more than once, why did the other families let their kids be in the company of a person accused of molestation in the 1st place? It makes no sense. It's like diving into the ocean to go french kiss a shark knowing fully well that it bites. I say it was all a trap, get the kid close to him & then scream abuse. The others got money out of it, so would we...that must have been their plan all along.

MJ was so different that he went against the grain, and plus his childhood, lack of a "normal" upbringing = working his butt off due to his father's insistence, kind of made him want to "escape", and go into fantasy land.
Poor MJ though, people just didnt understand him on a deeper level, because he didnt allow himself to be what everyone wanted him to be. he did that for his father,his family, but ultimately in the end, he just wanted to be him. He liked the company of innocents who didnt judge him than the company of those who were money hungry grubbers and looked at him like a big fat dollar bill.
