The whole situation is sad but we should not pretend that these gentleman have nothing to gain by going public and putting out the documentary.

+1000 it bothers me that they first wanted to work with the Jackson estate and when that didn’t work out they made the movie. That says “for profit” to me.

If me or my child were sexually abused, you bet your ass I’d be going after everything I could get from the abuser — their freedom (if criminal charges are an option), their money, their reputation. Everything. You don’t have to believe these men. I get it. They have no proof. Just their word. But questioning them based on them seeking damages from the accused’s estate is ridiculous. They may not win any damages, and they know this. But they damn well have the right to seek them.

You missed the part where fonts were posting that the two men were not seeking a monetary award, and they only told their documentary story to get their information to the public. The PPP pointed out that was in fact an untrue statement. The two men are in fact looking for money from the estate.

No, they don't. They're liars.

It is for every individual to decide for themselves whether they can (or want to) separate art from the artist.

Perhaps some have empathy for him. Perhaps some think his art was just that great. Perhaps some believe that you shouldn't judge an artistic, scientific, etc. contribution by the morality of its creator. Perhaps some think listening to his music is a victimless crime since he's dead.

How is it ANY crime to listen to music?

Some of you are taking this WAY too far if you consider listening to an MJ song as a crime.
