what did he do?
fuckin virgos man! where is mel to answer for this?
Posted by feby16aqua
Should he be discredited and his entire music legacy be null and void because he was a deplorable human being?
Have the accusations been formally substantiated?
Posted by feby16aqua
I just wasn't sure he was ever found guilty of the accusations. Did he really do those things?
Posted by WaterCup
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.

Ruining lives? He made them rich beyond their dreams. Now tell me which sane parent would choose money over their child's wellbeing? They were quick to run to the courts as if they were genuinely hurt & wanted to keep a 'paedophile' off the streets...well until they saw those zeros on that cheque. I know not one single parent that'll back down from something like that.click to expand

I heard some of the people admitted they lied on him. Dont know. I still love his songs and for whatever reason dont even think of him like that. Sometimes i think of all the plastic surgery.

I think they took advantage of him, period. He seemed weak & a pushover imo.
Posted by JenLove
I can't say I ever "defended him" but, I'm most definitely a big fan and will always be. If there is one person in this world who deserves all the praise for changing the music world forever, it is Michael Jackson because that is exactly what he did. His personal life had nothing to do with his music. He made amazing music and that is all his fans should care about. His legal issues were his own and those allegations were never proven. Even if he was a molester, it still wouldn't change the amount of talent he possessed and what he did for the music industry.
Did you see him molest a little boy? I sure didn't so as far as I'm concerned he's innocent until proven guilty like everybody else who goes on trail in the U.S. And if there are people who truly don't believe that other people in this world would do just about anything for some money then they are living in a fantasy world.

I don't see Michael as weak and a pushover at all....i think he had many facets to his personality, but molesting children? hmmmmm idk, but i do know the whole of hollywood are full of pedophiles so who knows if he was molested as a child...you never know..most child stars were abused.
anyways i'll forever love this man, even in his white face, with nose falling off, i love you much mike, it hurts.

A grown man by age, yes. But was he really grown psychologically, etc? I think not. Michael had no childhood, he missed out on that hence why he loved kids so much. I think he envied them to be honest. When he was around kids he turned into a kid himself...I've seen a documentary done on him by Martin Bashir. He later made fun of him & Michael was deeply hurt by that, for he let Bashir into his private world. I think he was too trusting, JUST LIKE A CHILD.click to expand

I think he was an extremely sensitive person so i don't know how its possible to harm children, remember he grew up in an abused home.
just like people get really involved with their dogs saying that they're completely loving and pure...i think MJ saw kids like that, pure, not as tainted as the adults around him.
i think what bugs me the most is the fact that his kids don't even look like him or have any tint of black, the dude totally hated himself and his blackness.
that's sad.

so if it came out that the president was molesting children should we just look the other way and only care about him running the country. Is that all we should care about?
The judicial system would be the one handling that case, the jurors and judges would be the ones who have to worry about those legal issues and can't just turn the other way. The public only gets to decide if they would still like him to be President. We would still need someone to be the leader of the U.S. If those allegations were proven he would be impeached anyway but, if he had done good things for this country those things would not all of a sudden be void just because of his actions. We would still benefit from them wouldn't we?
Michael Jackson wasn't the President though, what he did with his personal life did not affect the important decisions that this country must make in order to remain intact. I never said "anyone should turn the other way", if he did molest those children then he should have faced legal consequences but, it still wouldn't change what he did for the music industry. Would our views of him change? Most certainly but, he would still have people defending him musically.click to expand

He did music for many years, it was like a 2nd nature to him. I've heard of children who are referred to as 'music genius', like that piano playing kid they sometimes show on tv. Plus he sucked his thumb in his sleep ffs lol...which grown man does that? LOL.
NO I didn't know about his homosexuality, but I suspected as much. Being homosexual still doesn't mean he is a molester, though. It just meant he liked men, men he could get anywhere if he needed some arse.click to expand

because he didnt father his children
they arent biologically his
you dont think a man that hates himself wouldnt be more inclined to do such things? Mike was sick for many reasons
Well i think he was a sensitive kid and the childhood abuse he faced really stunted his growth in other areas, sexuality included, why i don't think he molested those kids. He was asexual as hell. i mean no chicks every came out and said they slept with him, no men, etc...it's very odd for a star of that caliber and he was the biggest to not have even a hint...i also think mommy dearest and her religion confused the boy...
he hated himself so much, you could see it in so many ways, why he used so many escapists tactics like building neverland.click to expand

There was already a parent-child issue during MJs younger days.
If you look at their relationship before and after, you would see how his parents didn't really support him in ways that they should have.
Imo.

How do you know which experience is worse when you are only an observant? Have you experienced anything similar or even close to it?
Posted by JenLovePosted by bkbella86
I dont need to see him. he was accused more than once and other things point to it. That man was sick.
Well that's still your opinion. You have no proof, you're just going off of your preconceived notions of what you previously heard from what other people claimed happened and what you've observed about his life. And that's your right, if you want to form an opinion that isn't based on any factual evidence then so be it.
My opinion is that I could give a shit if he molested kids or was a virgin or if he had surrogate children, I just enjoyed his music. I never knew him personally. If he did molest anyone then I agree that he should face the consequences but, I would still like his music and him as an artist. I wouldn't defend him nor talk bad about him, I would just hope he got the help he needed. All I'm saying is that we can't just assume someone is guilty and even if we do it wouldn't make it so.

my mom was molested and so was my aunt
hits home for me
Ok but I asked you if you know he did it for sure.
Im sorry to hear about your mom and aunt, but people are different. It might be the same experience but its never quite the same reaction. Some people handle painful experiences well while others struggle. Im not justifying wrong actions, im just telling you that its not just "a or b"click to expand

This discussion is stupid.
Michael wasn't found guilty.
Furthermore several people have stated that he in fact was probably asexual.
The kids' parents just wanted to squeeze some money out of him.
Macaulay Culkin who's been around Michael since the 'Home Alone' days has appeared at his trial and said that he "never sexually molested him or touched him in any inproper ways" and referred to the allegations as "absolutely ridiculous". Now what kind of a pedophile wouldn't "improperly touch" Culkin? lmao
I've never been a fan of Michael so this is not a fanboy talking, just my common sense. People these days are so sick, and I'm not talking about pedophiles but about "the mob" who's so quick to make a hen out of a feather.

yes that he was a homosexual and that he was molester.
I don't like unsubstantiated words like that being thrown out...it's really classless.
You have me researching the web to see if i am missing something.
MJ said he wasn't gay. So why not believe him? They found lots of porn in neverland with his fingerprints, all STRAIGHT porn...
you have to back up what you say. What i'm getting about MJ is that he was extremely shy and sensitive.
in fact it hurts me to read about him, cause it reminds me of my X boyfriend who actually looks like the black version of MJ and is sensitive as hell, but i just ignored it...
gosh one time me and my ex were in the car talking and he was so disturbed, he was like a leaf shaking, i could see he wanted to cry. we kissed and he told me to stop cause he was getting hard.
thats when i saw his true nature, he generally hid that from me, but it's there, so beyond sensitive.click to expand
