I think this video was the peak of his plastic surgery excursion. No snark. He is hot in this vid.

Yes, he was definitely HOT in Thriller. I watched it again, and again and AGAIN. ;)

Christ.

It doesn't make any sense to me that someone can do something horrible, and we put blinders on and make excuses because they also did something that we like.

That's like the first few years of my marriage, but I figured out that some wrongs have more weight than all the rights.

Last I checked, Michael wasn't O.J. and these cases aren't even related OR REMOTELY SIMILAR. But since lumping all Black male celebrities accused of crimes together seems to be your strong suit I'll let you just run with the dumb shit you've just spewed.

In any case, as someone who has never even purchased a Michael Jackson album, I'll just point to the facts in the allegations against Michael as I recall them, having read about this extensively.

The families of both accusers first contacted his attorneys to obtain SETTLEMENT money before going to law enforcement with their allegations. Strange that when a child has been molested, the parents would try to get a pay check from the molester instead of trying to bring him to swift, immediate justice in a court of law.

Said families also have VERY sketchy pasts. Allegedly prompting a child to shoplift, committing welfare fraud, and other things consistent with general dishonesty. The father of the first accuser was caught on tape saying " "If I go through with this, I win big-time. There's no way I lose. I will get everything I want and they will be destroyed forever...Michael's career will be over".

Lots of language about destroying his career but shockingly no outrage over his son allegedly being molested!

Weird!

The second family is allegedly now living in Atlanta and using the last name "Jackson". Taking the molester's last name? ODD!

The prosecution in the last case interviewed at least 30 kids who'd spent the night with MJ who were adamant about never being touched inappropriately.

I could go on but why bother you are certain he did it! You're the one with the blinders on here. I simply stated we do not know for sure what happened.

Allow the accusations of two individuals (out of the probably hundreds of children he hung out with) to allow you to hang on to your absolute knowledge that he is a child molester.

You guys are surely right. A man builds a giant circus/zoo at his home, invites children to stay with him overnight sans parents, that really sounds like someone who has a normal relationship with children, and totally not the typical pathology of a child molester.

And surely there were only those TWO kids, right!! That's what you're saying, only those two, and let's all question their background, upbringing, and social class, they must be making it up to get something, that's what kids do, they make those things up ALL THE TIME. Also, all children report molestation to their parents, who in turn immedietly want to put their kids through what would probably be the biggest lascivious acts case in the US. What parent wouldn't want that for their kiddo, to get swift justice and all? It would probably even be their fault if they didn't report it, and then someone else was molested. Well, I bet those little skanks were even wearing suggestive clothing!! Seriously!! How is a grown man supposed to act??

Your argument is astounding.

I'd suggest you do some research but it's clear you'd rather just ASSUME that him being a weird, childlike man who's only friends were children makes him guilty of sexual abuse.

This is not a person you should be comparing to any other average grown man either. MJ had an abnormal life and a ton of issues. He made seriously horrible decisions that allowed him to be accused of shit like this, but naivete, and a lack of good judgment do not by default make him a molester. Do you know of any actual proof he molested these kids or would you just like to talk about his weird lifestyle and not offer up anything more?

I love that his troubled persona, coupled with two accusations is all it takes for you to convict him of molestation. Especially when the families of these TWO children have shady pasts and were found to have engaged in seriously questionable, dishonest things in the past.

Forget that the first kid's father put him under the influence of AMYTAL and then somehow a confession about the molestation came forth (which the kid denied later on when the drug wore off). Forget that after MJ's insurance company paid them the $22 million dollars (against the wishes of MJ and his legal counsel) they would no longer cooperate with the authorities. Forget that the second kid's mother was committing welfare fraud, was reported to have coached her child to STEAL at a department store and then lied about being mishandled by security at the store to receive a big fat settlement, pushed her child onto MJ and then was allegedly coaching him on what to say regarding this molestation. Forget that they are now supposedly USING HIS LAST NAME.

Don't you think it's FUCKED UP that BOTH families would ask him for money instead of first going to the authorities? Why do you think they would do that? And please don't give me this "not wanting to put their kids though a public circus" because the identities of minors are protected in cases of this nature.

Do you have any other pitiful excuses for their immediate money seeking you'd like to bring forth? I'm desperately in need of entertainment this morning.

Why aren't YOU bringing up any FACTS? Lemme think….could it be because you don't have any?!

Do you not realize that the profile of a child molester is one that indicates they have an average of over 240 victims in their lifetime? This is a compulsive behavior, these people cannot stop themselves from molesting when there are children around. Do you not think that the fact that only TWO kids brought allegations against this man makes your assertions weak as fucking hell? MJ was 50 years old. Probably 30 of those years were spent with various children, many of whom slept over and lived at his place (many WITH their families). You are so set on believing TWO kids? Like really? Two out of possibly a hundred, or two hundred?

All I can say is, you'd be a helluva loser in Vegas with these kind of odds.

Lastly it is so pathetic that you KEEP coming here to further besmirch this poor dead man's name over nothing but of rumors, oddities, and innuendo.

You are ignorance personified. Shame the fuck on you.

It would be great if people could honor his musical legacy just for a day and pay respect to his loved ones...

And, you gotta admit, the boy studied his MJ videos.
