Excerpt:
Personally, I have always, and with sadness, felt that Jackson was guilty, from the time the first allegations surfaced in the early 2000s. I have also believed his guilt was by reason of insanity and diminished capacity. Jackson was not some kind of Freddy Krueger-like monster who got off on overcoming and hurting helpless creatures. Clearly, all of his creative ambition in those later years was aimed at trying to recreate a childhood he never had, to un-ring the cynical, sexualized, tarnished bell of adulthood, to fly off and become Peter Pan. There was something broken and unformed about him.

Jackson had toyed with and subverted gender and race roles throughout his career—only David Bowie, Madonna, and Prince came anywhere close to the number of reboots and reinventions he had. By the time he got to Neverland, he still physically “presented” himself as a grown man. But by his own admission, he literally wanted to transform himself—not into another gender or even another race (though his furious cosmetic and surgical alterations might suggest otherwise)—but into a pre-pubescent child. He spent mega-millions building a private theme park fantasyland for just that purpose.

And as the documentary chillingly reveals, he also had a child’s lack of ability to see or truly care about anything from any perspective other than his own. That along with his instinctive, defense-mechanism capacity to obfuscate and avoid getting caught at all costs made him into what he became: a juvenile sociopath. As the latest allegations of child abuse suggest, all of this was caught up in sexual perversions for which we have no explanation, only revulsion and a million questions about what really animated this man-child pop legend.

There was a time when I loved Michael Jackson and his music.

That all ended for me a loooong time ago, when it came out that he was into “sleepovers” with little boys and AFTER he paid off the parents of the first alleged victim, 13 y/o Jordan “Jordy” Chandler, back in 1993. Their “relationship” reportedly started in 92 when Jordan was 12.

The payoff totaled in the Million$.

I couldn’t AGREE with you more BD!!!

And I wish ALL of those parents could be prosecuted too! They not only Failed their children…they BETRAYED their children. Sold them like a Pimp peddles Prostitutes.

I see what you are saying here Truth. But I also see what DJ is talking about too. We can all have a opinion about what we think happened with Michael and those boys. I agree the whole thing never did look right either. But the case got decided and Wade Robeson is the one who helped him not be found guilty. Now if we all stopped liking Michael and playing his music back then that is one thing. But to love him again after the case then stop loving him because of this movie is another. I know somebody who been a Michael fan all her life but all of a sudden is going to stop listening to him now even though she never even saw the movie yet. That is some crazy stuff. The same people who loved Michael last week should not be hating him this week all over a movie that might not even be true. Let the man rest.
