Michael Jackson Dead

[Medusa]

I can recall his sister Latoya speaking out against him, insisting that he was a pedophile. I didn't believe a word she said simply because I felt that she was doing it to get attention for herself. She's a no talent, isn't even in the same range w/Michael or Janet or even the rest of the family. It'll be interesting to see how she conducts herself now.

I am going to take Mr. Jackson at his word, which is that he slept with boys in his bed and he felt there was nothing wrong with that.
Now the question is why did he feel it was not wrong?
My personal belief is that he was molested as a child, perhaps by someone in the music indrustry, someone he trusted and loved.
He was not close to his dad, from what I remember he was a bully and the kids were afraid of him.
So in comes this other man, giving praise, perhaps a mentor and young Michael for the first time in his life has a man who is kind and loving to him. Yes the relationship was sexual after a bit, but it was also the only love he had from an adult. So Michael thinks that sex with an adult is the only way to get love and praise. He has decided that this is not so bad.
This of course confused Michael and started his mental confusion, thereby wanting to remain a child in many ways so he could continue to recieve love and affection.
As an adult a child in his bed is not such a bad thing, he is after all loving this child, showing them kindness, patience, understanding, giving gifts and yes having a bit of sex.
Twisted but oh so logical to Mr. Jackson.
That is my arm chair consul. That will be $200.00 please pay Margaret on your way out and don't forget to make a follow up in two weeks.

That's ALOT of assumptions about someone you don't know and cannot answer the allegations. What he did or didn't do may never be resolved. I choose to remember his talents and not his eccentricities.

I am looking at it positively...it will knock Kate and Jon off the cover of EVERYTHING!

Agreed. And I still believe the absolute truth died with him and it will never be resolved. Unless of course, that MJ wrote a confession/explanation and had it locked away in safe deposit, with instructions to be read 50 years after his death. Highly unlikely, and by then, not many people would care anyway.

I just saw this link posted in another forum, and if it's true, it would be more than ironic at this point:

Jordan Chandler admits he lied about Michael Jackson??

That would be no surprise to me I always figured that is what happened.

I guess it remains to be seen if this is true. Frankly - I hope it is!

I did some Googling...there are the tabloid bits that now bring "Jordy's diary" to light...and a couple of articles on Jordan's confession.

I hope this makes it to a more mainstream media source; I would love for it to be true.

On the one hand, yes. On the other hand, if it is true, what a despicable family plot! Charges should be brought against them if it's true. It would have been a deliberate extortion attempt and in the process a ruination of the man's life.

I've watched a little of his story on VH1 because it was mostly his performances. What a loss!

Years ago, I scored a couple of great tickets to MJ's Philadelphia concert. I took my 10 year old niece with me.....well, we went together and it was for her thrill, not mine. The concert was out of this world with special effects and music. My niece and I will never forget the fun we had getting to the concert, attending, standing on our chairs throughout the entire concert, and then getting home. It was my niece's first concert and she had flown from Florida to Phila. just for the concert. It was the such a highlight in her life.

I will say that Michael was one of the most talented people I've come across. His private life was part of his public life - he made it that way. I am sorry he left this earth so early, but that too was his doing.

We will probably never know what a life he led behind those closed doors. I would never know who to believe anyway.

I hope the best for his children. I don't think MJ's mother (and father?) are the people I would think of as guardians, but then no one asked me. No matter who they go to/with, their lives have changed forever.

Rest in peace Michael. You changed many lives - many for the better. You were such an entertainer - filled with talent and achievements. And you had your shortcomings as well.

Rest.

As I mentioned I am taking Mr. Jackson at his own words, which were that he saw nothing wrong with sharing a bed with children.
As for his talent, no one can beat the King of Pop.
A great lose to all who love music.

There was plenty of creepyness about MJ without the pedo charges.

Yes MJ was a Magician with his music and stage pressence but he still had the creepyness off stage and out of the studio.

[caseysmom]

Talk about creepy, his fathers interview with CNN was creepy, he is already trying to promote stuff.
