Whoa I had no idea this existed and didn’t remember that he was hanging out with Jackson back in the day. This is horrifying.

All that says is that he didn't abuse Macauley. Doesn't mean it didn't happen to someone else. He can only speak to his experience. I found the accusers believable.


He also had a very close friendship w/eightie’s icon Corey Feldman who also says Michael never abused him.

Perhaps Michael only abused boys that were not so famous……?

The current men that are trying to sue Michael’s estate come off to me as money-hungry snakes.

Just a weird vibe I get…….


Well... YES! That would make total sense. He is going to go after kids that lack power.


And then conveniently accuse the parents of just wanting his money or to shake him down. That's harder to pull off with the child stars who don't need his money.

To be fair, the one family was shaking him down and that's probably how he got off. Because they had shaken down other celebrities and it became clear that was a pattern.

Innocent people don’t invite minors to share their bed and then lock the door, and have alarm systems to let them know if anyone on their staff is approaching.

Hell, my kid's coach can't text him directly (for good reason) and yet, we are defending a superstar sleeping in the same bed with a kid.


And those same kids could describe his penis. In what universe would a parent think that's ok? Parents wouldn't allow their kids to have sleepovers and shower with their coach so why are so many looking the other way on this and making up excuses? It defies logic.

Guilty - definitely a pedophile

He got away with it because the jury was star struck.

The only thing different between him and a poor pedophile is that he was wealthy enough to pay kids very well to be with him.


And to pay off their parents and hire a top attorney like Johnnie Cochran.

I am in the middle; notwithstanding guilt or innocence, Jackson’s art is bound to stand the test of time, much like the work of other controversial icons, such as Walt Disney (racial insensitivity) and Alfred Hitchcock (accused of abuse).

Of course he wasn’t innocent, and just because he didn’t abuse every boy (McCulkin) doesn’t mean he didn’t horribly abuse others.
The movie out now makes me sick. I can’t believe people are going to see it. It’s a slap in the face to his victims.

Maybe he didn't abuse Macauley, that doesn't mean he didn't do it to non-famous children who spent time with him.
