Do explain your answers answers much as you can. Like which of the ones were proved right/wrong , how did it come to be .etc.etc.
Nothing proven. Much documentary about it though.
There’s a vine/TikTok dude that made a short about it somewhat recently in a shallow and humorous fashion.
Basically, the Jackson dad was an asshole who beat his kids. Michael being the most successful one got the worst of it, as per the documentary. Not sure if his brothers covered him and how often.
He didn’t have a childhood, he had beatings, training and concerts.
His soft-spoken voice was beaten into him, only allowed to use his full voice for singing.
His Neverland was built for that which he never had and he tried to give that to other children he felt were like him.
Whether something happened is only known by the the people involved, but odds are that unless Michael himself was molested as a child, it’s far more likely that he was deeply traumatized, cried himself to sleep and had recurring night terrors.I’ll repeat, only the people involved know what happened and they’re not talking.
If he was specifically trying to invite children with bad childhoods then it’s not actually too surprising that some of their parents would come after him.
He was acquitted of criminal charges while still alive from NPR. People have tried to sue his estate over alleged inappropriate behavior since his death but nothing made it to court yet. So legally no, he never molested any minors. But the fact that there were multiple allegations is concerning.
Unless there was something to gain.
Grew up in a town near Neverland ranch in the 90s, he hosted the local little league champions team to a party there. I’m pretty sure a classmate of mine went there once. Only had nice things to say about it, but even then there were jokes and rumors.
On one hand I can see people scapegoating a successful black man, from multiple angles there may also be feelings of betrayal from the black community. On the other hand, I was also up the road from Oprah, and I never heard anything about parties for groups of minors that she hosted.
Where there’s smoke there probably fire, but racists and radicals are good at hiding smoke machines.
“Where there’s smoke there’s fire” is really interesting when the courts operate on the basis of “innocent until proven guilty”.
Anyone who says “where there’s smoke there’s fire” never did chemistry class at school. Probably the second worst idiom one can say.
