Jordan Chandler and the 1993 Case

2007 August 9

Just various information that I found interesting. Wikipedia – Jordan Chandler

The civil portion of the Chandler case against Jackson was mutually settled with the payment of an undisclosed amount of money. In a legal court document filed in court on March 22, 2005, it was stated that Jackson’s insurance carrier ultimately negotiated and paid the full settlement amount[2]. The court document states that “the 1993 civil settlement was made by Mr. Jackson’s insurance company and was not within Mr. Jackson’s control… The settlement agreement was for global claims of negligence and the lawsuit was defended by Mr. Jackson’s insurance carrier. The insurance carrier negotiated and paid the settlement, over the protests of Mr. Jackson and his personal legal counsel.”

In 2005, according to Raymond Chandler, Jordan left the country to avoid testifying in the trial against Jackson; Ray states that Jordan does not like the media attention and has moved three times since the case began. His mother, June Chandler, has not seen her son in 11 years either, and Ray is also estranged from her.

In 2006, Jordan Chandler accused his father of abuse. The accuser, now 26, says his ex-dentist dad Evan Chandler “struck him on the head from behind with … (dumbbell) weight … sprayed his eyes with Mace or pepper spray, and tried to choke him” last year, according to court documents filed in New Jersey.

As some of you know, the man in the picture is Jordan Chandler, the boy who had once accused Michael Jackson of molesting him in 1993. He currently lives in New York/New Jersey  with the money he obtained from the settlement in the 1993 case.

Many people like Diane Dimond want you to think Jordan’s life is going great…in reality Jordan is a legal fight with his father, Evan Chandler. Jordan sued his father because in mid 2005 (now his father is suing him as well) because his father tried to KILL HIM. Take his own son’s life away. Jordan Chandler accuses his father of hitting him over the head with a 12-pound weight, spraying his eyes with mace and trying to choke him.

Why isn’t this information all over TMZ? Why isn’t Diane Dimond all over this one? If Diane can find out what underwear Thomas Sneddon Jr. is wearing, why can’t she find out about this case? Perhaps because she may be afraid to know why he would do something like that to his own SON. Perhaps she fears what she will find out. I would think that Evan Chandler trying to take out his son would be ALL OVER THE NEWS. I’m wrong. These folks don’t care about Jordan Chandler and what happens to him if it not related to Michael Jackson. But, who says it isn’t? Some alleged Evan and Jordan dispute is over money! You know that money they got from Michael Jackson’s insurance. I wonder, if Evan Chandler was capable of causing such injuries to his own son over what some allege is money, then why wouldn’t he be capable of falsely accusing a rich celebrity to get that money? It seems nothing stands in the way of Evan Chandler. Not even his own son.

P.S. Write to Harvey Levin and ask him why hasn’t he covered this case? What is he waiting for?

Michael Jackson’s accuser now sues dad for life threatening physical abuse

Posted on Wednesday, September 06, 2006 (EST)

The boy who got a 20 million dollar settlement from Michael Jackson after accusing the pop star of sexual molestation in 1993 is now battling his own father in court over charges of life-threatening physical abuse.

New York, Sept 6: The boy who got a 20 million dollar settlement from Michael Jackson after accusing the pop star of sexual molestation in 1993 is now battling his own father in court over charges of life-threatening physical abuse.

The accuser, now 26, says his ex-dentist dad Evan Chandler “struck him on the head from behind with a 12-1/2-pound [dumbbell] weight … sprayed his eyes with Mace or pepper spray and tried to choke him” last year, according to court documents filed in New Jersey.

It’s a mystery why the son and the father, who became millionaires in 1994, thanks to the Jackson sex-abuse settlement, were fighting in August 2005 – just two months after the singer’s acquittal in another [alleged abuse] case involving a teenage cancer survivor.

Santa Barbara County prosecutors had begged the 1993 accuser to testify at Jackson’s 2005 trial, hoping he could bolster that alleged victim’s similar story of fondling at the pop star’s hands. But the college graduate refused to get involved. (ANI)

        You dickhead. Sorry, how about we destroy your childhood by making you perform in pubs and restaurants from a VERY EARLY age, so that you never have THE CHANCE to be a child, and then accuse you of being a Pedophile when all you are trying to do is make SOMETHING in this fucked up mess of a life special.

        He never had a childhood, the whole idea of Neverland and Peter Pan is that you don’t have to grow up and face the world. WHY THE HELL would a man, with the mind of a child, have sex with children then?

        This is simply because someone so good and talented and so terribly human cannot be all perfect so we as an apparently ‘civilised’ race have to pick him apart until he can stand it no more and dies of a heart attack!

        I hope maggots rape your brains in the night shithead.

        the jury also called OJ Simpson innocent while there was tons of proof in both OJ’s and Jacko’s cases that should have found them GUILTY…

        you know, if they were regular people instead of famous “stars” they would have been locked up behind bars for the rest of their lives.

        And if Jackson wasn’t so famous none of you would even liked the guy, you would have called him the pervert he was and said he’s guilty.

        The only reason why you think he’s innocent or pray he’s innocent or refuse to believe the truth is because you are fans of his music…. There is no way in hell any of you could possibly trust him alone with your children and if you do, you’re asking for trouble

        Actually, we’re talking DNA evidence in the OJ case vs the word of some highly dubious sources in the MJ cases.

        Don’t even try to compare them. You’ll just be setting yourself up for ridicule.

        On topic:
        I like how the author of this article tries to portray Jordan as a poor little child against his big, bad father. He was 25 years old at the time of the alleged attack. And if it was so serious, why are you trying to sue him for money now instead of pressing legal charges?

        The world will be a better place when these two finally bite the bullet.

        Josh permalink

        Davz is right. There was no credible evidence presented against Jackson. People who talk differently on the matter, clearly have not read into the case. Very different from OJ. Not to sound cliche, but all public opinion against Jackson has been built purely on self serving media headlines and tabloids (financial/popularity reasons, obviously). This is easily proven just by asking someone who thinks that MJ was guilty, exactly why they believe that. I guarantee that none of them would be able to provide any convicting, factual information, if any info at all on the case. Extremely typical result of distributing information to a mass populous. One more note of personal opinion: none of this had anything to do with any God you my believe in. This happened, just as most everything else does because of the actions of people.

        My advice: If you want to know something, find out for yourself.

      Totally agree! He lied. His father lied. They accused an innocent man of the most horrendous act! They drove Mr. Jackson to his grave with their accusations for money! I pray that their conscious eat at them every awaking moment of the rest of their lives until they come clean and tell the truth! Depression and stress attributed to Mr. Jackson’s death. Shame on them! Can’t wait until the media spread this story like a wildfire just as they did when the accusations were leveled.

        God didn’t punish MJ, you and all the rest of the haters in this world did. You are the reason he was addicted to painkillers, and for his terrible demise now.

        So do us all a favor, get over yourself. You’re not impressing anyone but the haters. Bcuz the real fans knows that MJ was innocent both times and he died an innocent man.

        If you don’t like it, then, don’t look up anything about the man. He’s gone now and people like you just can’t let it go.

        There were no facts in either case to support anything the two boys had said. In fact, the first one, Jordan Chandler didn’t even want to testify. So boom that tells you right there, MJ was innocent. But if you don’t have a brain, or not intelligent enough to understand that, then I guess you wouldn’t get it.

        But oh well, despite of what you think, Michael Jackson is still loved by everyone all over the world and he will be terribly missed by us. No you. But who the hell cares?

        Sure… as an adult now at 26, he couldn’t use that money, never mind GIVE IT BACK, to buy air time to blare all over the media that he LIED, hence TOTALLY responsible for the public LIVING HELL MJ lived in ever since that very day, and furthermore blare his APOLOGY to MJ to him, and the world, either. Never mind beg his forgiveness.

        It would have been very simple to try to describe Michaels patches n his penis. He had it all over his body due to his skin condition. So lets just use are brains for a sec. He had it all over his body so of course there would be a chance it would be on his penis. A good chance. Anybody could describe the patches on his penis by knowing about vitigo and that Mike had it. I could tell you he would have patches on his penis without seeing it because the skin condition effects your whole body. Not to mention it wasn’t a accurate description of where the patches where or how much of his penis was covered.

        For your information, the description of Michaels private parts were in error. With that and anything else presented, it was deemed there wasnt any evidence to support EITHER chold molestation case. God knows the truth as do all of us in our hearts that support him before and after his death. Who are you anyway to judge? What kind of lowlife are you trying to judge something you know nothing about other than the spewwing of the media to gain sensationalism? Closed minds are not a good thing in life. Rest and blessed be Michael Jackson. Im glad you have finally found your peace amongst all the negativity, speculation, and untruths everywhere which effected your life and outlook so greatly. Another bright start is in the sky and it shines for Michael Jackson on all of us.

        penis and testicles-how can anyone not assume the genitalia of man with vitiligo not have blotches of discoloration

        how can a 13 year old boy (totally old enough) claim the penis he allegedly sucked circumcised when its not.

        how is it possible that jordie was not able to identify any markings on the testicles he claimed to have so much contact with.

        right i would call the descriptions he gave ‘correct’

      The media reported that Jordie Chandler’s description of markings on MJ’s penis were similar in person. The media failed to report that while Jordie Chandler said that MJ was circumcised, Mj actually was not. I point to Amy Fisher who also said that she could describe a penis–Joey Buttafucco’s penis. Right after the description, Joey went to jail.
      MJ did not settle after the strip search. The insurance company settled after Evan Chandler sought a detailed accounting of MJ’s income. Evan claimed that he was at a disadvantage financially in the civil suit.
      As for OJ, he was found not guilty because the most incriminating evidence against him–IMO–was precluded due to the unlawful search conducted at his house on the night of the murder. The DA executed upon 10 search warrants in the MJ case and (surprise, surprise) found nothing.
      It does not surprise me that Evan Chandler tried to kill his son after the verdict in 2005. He probably wanted to stop Jordie from coming out and telling the truth.

      Don’t blame Jordan, he was a child who did not willingly go along with this evil plan. It was his father Evan Chandler who perpetrated the scheme. Rather than blame Jordan, we should offer him support to come forward with the truth. He should not feel victimized once again for what his father did. Michael would want us ALL to pave the way for Jordan to do this difficult task by offering love and understanding. Attacking him ( the wrong person, Evan is the perpetrator- remember that) will only cause him to retreat more. Give him more time to come forward. Be patient.

      It’s obvious that there are MANY people out there with no understanding of pedophilia. It is a mental abberance; rather like the impulse that serial killers experience. It simply defies the typical lack of impulse control found in most cases of pedophilia that Michael would manage to resist the temptation in hundreds of cases where he had access to young children. If he had been a pedophile, there would have been hundreds of victims coming forward, instead of two who were obviously more concerned with civil suit money than taking their cases to a criminal court. Greed on the part of the “victims” goes much further by way of explanation than Michael being a pedophile. It’s just illogical.

        That is what makes me wonder about the prosecutor Sneddon — he was not professional in any way and lacked an education. he got it in his mind to go after Jackson and that is all he wanted to do. if Jackson were a pedophile there would have been many cases and the cops would have returned with mounds of evidence from all the properties they’d searched. I think the prosecutor had a vendetta and may have been racist. i saw one interview michael gave where the cops locked him in a bathroom for a long period of time. makes me wonder if there was racism involved, therefore the lust to go after him on the phony pedophilia charge.

        I agree 100%. If someone did to my child, what Michael Jackson was accused of, there would be no $20 million settlement to make it just go away. I would want revenge; I don’t want your money, your home, or anything you own, because if I get close enough to get my hands on you, your ass is mine. SIMPLE.
        Either Michael is innocent, or the parents of those children are as much low life as the person they made Michael out to be. Michael is innocent and the parents are low life scum, regardless.
        Michael Jackson and his music will live in my heart forever. Michael Jackson and his music will live on PERIOD. He is, was, and always will be a legend. Nothing anyone can say or do to take that away from him.
        Michael Jackson haters are ignorant, self indulgent, and can not see the nose in front of their face. You people have no common sense, much less any intellectual thought processes.
        May Michael REST IN PEACE…HE IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE LOVED AND SADLY MISSED BY MOST OF THIS WORLD…THE FEW OF YOU IGNORAMUSES NEED TO GO FIND SOME KNOWLEDGE OR GO TO HELL TRYING!!!

        EXACTLY. There is no way that they could have just said, “Hey its okay if he abused my son, after all, I got 20 million. A little groping can be bought over by 20 million. That’s just not going to happen.

        He was innocent. And he will be missed. To say otherwise is an insult to the king.

        Would you instead drag your kid through a lengthy court experience? The press at your heels all the way? 20 million might pay for therapy for the rest of your child’s life. I was molested and so was my child, did I take my abuser, a family member, or her’s, also a family member, to court and hurt my child or family any further? NO! So any idiot out there that thinks that settleing for cash isn’t better then dragging a kid through all the crap involved with a high profile case have no clue.

        Most importantly, a 40 year old man in bed with a 13 year old boy is molestation whether or not there was actual sex acts involved, with another person’s child if there’s smoke theres fire! My trusted family member used to have me sleep over, I even had my own bed, but he would coax me into his, and molest me! I trusted him, so I didn’t feel he was hurting me or doing anything wrong, how many boys out there trusted him?

        Jeremy, sorry for what happened to you & your child, but that doesn’t mean MJ is guilty. My sister was molested by my stepfather for some time. I was 7 & she was 8. It was never reported. It was pretty much swept under the rug. As a result, my sister turned to alcohol & died young from liver damage. The toxins went to her brain and like a child the last thing she cried out was “Mommy, mommy, please tell him to leave me alone. It tore my heart up because I knew what she meant. I don’t know why I wasn’t molested by this pedophile, but I feel like I was too because he got away with it & I had to watch her slowly destroy herself since she was 13 and then watch her die in the hospital. I also had a friend who died at 37 who was molested, she too was an alcoholic and eventually drank herself to death. A lot of these kids need therapy but never get it. I wonder how the children that claim Michael Jackson molested them are doing emotionally and if the parents ever took them for therapy. I would think that the parents who do report it to the authorities would seek therapy for their children. I wonder if the media has ever looked into that.

How many children went to neverland, and out of that only 2 reported bein molested…Plus FYI, after 14 weeks of search absolitly no evidence was found and even worse it appeared that they were makin false allegations, as proven by Jacksons lawyer…Finally the criminal court decided he was innocent, so he is until proven so..But the decison was based on the fact that there was no evidence and that the kids family had already tried that kind of thing b4..So please unless you have facts you better shut the ***up instead of acting like an idiot

      Your ignorance shows more intelligence than your moral. Do you know it is a crime to abuse young children. Hence if he was guilty he would have been locked up and no amount of money could have kept him from there.

      Actually, it DID happen to someone I know, a very good friend. He was invited to the ranch, he slept in the bed with MJ, and MJ… didn’t do anything. Did not touch him, did not touch any of the other children that were there. And while this obviously does not wholly exonerate MJ, because after all it was just one group out of hundreds of groups of children that were invited, it makes a pretty loud statement to me.

      I think that this is the kind of issue where most people decide one way or the other based on emotion, and do not bother to look at facts. I wish folks were more aware of the operational processes of both pedophilia and of Peter Pan Syndrome. The two are almost completely mutually exclusive.

      MJ’s love for children was taken for granted. This people drove him to his grave, literally.

      Stef- He was framed. I know you don’t believe that but I want to ask one thing of you. Watch “Larry Nimmer’s videos on Neverland” on You Tube, then form an opinion. Mr. Nimmer was hired by the courts to make this fascinating documentary. It is unbiased, you form your own opinion after watching this. If he was a pedophile, many many children would have come forward. He was a very wealthy man who trusted and believed in the good in people so he was easily taken advantage of. As for his jumping on the car, the reason he did that is because there were many fans there supporting him and he was going through the worst time of his life. Their support meant everything to him. He was in a sea of people and his fans could not see him. He got on the car to wave to them and show them he saw them all and recognized they were supporting him. Should he have done it? Probably not because he was being judged by everyone at the time. Even now. You judge him, but I don’t blame you because the media worked very hard to form this negative perception for you. ALl the news media went tabloid because that is where the money is. They realized there was big money to be made in tabloid gossip. More people are attracted to the gossip than to the “real news” and it is cheaper to get. Reporting real news takes hard work and lots of money to send reporters out into the field etc. After you watch the video, read Mary Fisher’s article at http://www.buttonmonkey.com/misc/maryfischer.html I would love to hear what you think after seeing those 2 things.

    That wasn’t a court appearance, that was an arraignment. It didn’t go to trial at the time, if I remember right. I’m not excusing his behavior though.

        I think that most “good” parents would not allow a child to stay at an Adult’s home. I certainly would not have. It is abnormal for adults to befriend children on that level and while I do not believe Michael molsested anyone–I think, as talented as he was, he was still a child at heart. But regardless of that, I would not allow my child to stay with him. Star or not. And I think that anyone who did, was using their child to get the perks of association with a huge star. The Chandlers used their kid to get rich. The others tried. Once Michael was accused, in my opinion the parents of the other children are guilty of child endangerment or neglect. You do not send your child off with someone who has the accusation hanging over their head. At least no mother I know would.

      The authorities searched the Neverland ranch and other residences mutiple times, pored over every photo featuring a child, and watched hours and hours of video footage. All of it came to nothing. The criminal case was dropped because there was NO EVIDENCE that any crime had been committed against any child while in MJ’s care. It was Jordan’s word only, and with a $20 million dollar settlement he had a huge financial interest in making accusations, but without the physical evidence Jordan certainly wouldn’t want to perjure himself in a criminal court.

Because I know Michael is a good man. And since Michael didnt do it…then it was the other way around. Idiot Jordan should be paying Michael $20 million for all the lies and crap he’s caused Michael! Freakin Jerk OFF!!! AND since his dad strucked him with a 12-1/2-pound dumbbell…it must have not hurted for him…for him to be thinking about taking his dad to court. Jordans dad should have struck him with a heavier dumbbell and then after that…struck himself. Oh…and since his mom hasnt seen Idiot Jordan in 11 years or so…his dumb ass took off with the money and ran huh? At the age of 12? Spending that money like theres no tomorrow.

Jordan and his father would not be fighting if it was not for something that went wrong.. basically lying about something.
      You mention R.Kelly…what he did was wrong!..but what were those girls doing in that place?? A lot of people accuse the guys.. but where were the parents??
      If you truly care about your child and do not want for something bad to happen or to be said you do not leave your children unattended. I am not saying these girls deserved it.. no one deserves to suffer!!
      A lot of things can be prevented by taking different measures..
      Clergymen as well… you trust the people because they are supposedly men of god… but you forget that they are humans as well.

      You’re an idiot. The girl from the R Kelly thing is just like the girl with the 56 stars on her face. The girls wouldn’t have had a problem with what happened to them if everybody else didn’t find out about it, but when they got found out and people were sickened or disturbed by it they got embarrassed and tried to get law suits out of it. There was no law suit before videos and pictures got leaked.

      Jordan Chandler and his greedy peasant of a father ruined Michael Jackson. Why was Jordan alone with Michael in the first place; his dad was obviously pissed off because he turned out to be a crap father, leaving his son with a man he didn’t know himself, so he set out to take Michael’s hard earned money.

      You people with your silly criticisms killed Michael, but luckily, he was such a successful artist that your lies and crap couldn’t stop his millions or even billions of fans from mourning his death. I’d like to see you sign and $890million deal with Sony for YOUR natural talents, jackass.

I couldn’t believe such bullshit could even make it to court (hmnn, well its America and everyone’s got a right to fair hearing), but i am glad it did because it completely exonerated Michael not on one, but all the counts. Need i remind you that the judgement was handed out by a 12 (i think) man (and woman) adult jury overseen by an experienced judge in a court of competent jurisdiction. The damage had however been done from 1993. I hope his murderers reap the karmic consequene of thier actions really quick, so that all observing would learn lessons from this.

      You seem at least semi-reasonable.

      No one has ever explained to me the following:

      1. Michael Jackson had pictures of nude boys in his house.
      2. Michael Jackson had over 70 porn magazines as well as porn DVD in the house with all the kids running around.
      3. SEVERAL witnesses say Michael Jackson gave alcohol to minors.
      4. Michael Jackson had alarms that alerted him if an adult approached his room.
      5. Micahel Jackson was the one with all the money and power, yet three separate boys came forward and said he molested them.
      6. Even Corey Feldman said Michael Jackson (although he didn’t molest him) showed him naked pictures: “If you consider it inappropriate for a man to look at a book of naked pictures with a child that’s 13 or 14 years old — then your answer would be yes.” Go ahead and look it up: http://abcnews.go.com/2020/LegalCenter/story?id=481709&page=1
      7. There are other witnesses who said Michael Jackson molested boys (despite Michael Jackson being ultra private when alone with boys.)
      8. Michael Jackson was not an innocent asexual person (he had porn and supposedly had sex with his wife Lisa Marie Presley) yet, came to the conclusion that it was okay to sleep with boys.
      9. His own defense lawyer (Anthony Pellicano) admitted that he slept with Jordan Chandler for 30 days IN A ROW.
      10. Michael Jackson ONLY slept with boys (this is corroborated by many witnesses).

      Would you be willing to explain all of these facts to me? Don’t skip any of them.

      Then if you don’t think Michael Jackson is a child molester, whatever. But tell me 1 through 10, which of these you have no problem with.

        You can’t go on hear-say sir. If you were to go to a court with this argument you’d have to show a judge proof. If you don’t have a written document saying that each of those things on your list is a FACT then its irrelevant bullshit. If you weren’t in the room, or actually the one this person was talking to and recording this thats basically a rumor because it can’t be proven true.

        Harold, here are the answers. It is actually quite easy to find those answers but clearly before you convicting Michael as child molester you didn’t bother to find evidence.

        1. those are from art books not porno books.
        2. first those were kept away from kids. second, I would think it is very common for adult males to have porn materials.
        3. those witnesses happened to be ex-employees bearing grudge against Michael for firing them. And most interesting thing is none of them alerted authority of this alleged behavior. They only came forward AFTER being fired.
        4. Michael was a extra private person and I don’t think for someone at his status it would be strange to have alarms in their bedroom. It was to protect his privacy. That is all. Plus those were to alert him of any person approaching not just adult. Don’t think the alarms would be able to distinguish adult vs child. so your question is misleading.
        5. if he was not the one with all the money do you honestly think there would be boys coming forward with molestation charges? Glad you mentioned money coz that was the root of all those. And last time I checked having money and power is not guilty.
        6. yes, after their 2001 feud. This is the same person who defended Michael in his 1993 allegation. And this is the same person who wrote ‘Michael was my idol, role model and a very dear friend’ on his website and showed up at his memorial.
        7. please give examples. It is irresponsible to write those stuff w/o backing evidence.
        8. sorry I don’t see how one can reasonably come to that conclusion. Having porn and having sex with your wife are not a crime for god’s sake.
        9. First not sure where you see him saying that, second sleeping in the same bed doesn’t equal to having sex. It is against the social norm, but it is not a crime. Huge difference here.
        10. again which witnesses?

      What fucker, are you the child. You just mad that you never and will never get a chance to accuse MJ for playing in your asshole. All you just seriously jealous that MJ is a man with a heart of a child. It is amazing that no one blames peter pan for crawling into little children windows and flying away with them. He is a boy who left and never wanted to grow up dose not mean he never aged. so for all I care he was 40 crawling into the window. Weather it is a friction no one said anything to than person who created it. The whole point is MJ never got a chance to be a child and being around children made him want to be that child he never got to be. The innocents of the child that he had and could not do or say anything when he was a child performing and doing stuff the public demanded. So if you think loving children is a bad thing then you need to take the fucking issue with your parents who never showed you love to make you think that loving a child is bad. And ask for Jordan he was probably a punching bag to his father so he miss understood the care that MJ showed him. So the true person that should be on trial is Evan Chandler.

    Everybody seems to have an opinion about this.. But not one of you can prove it to be how you think it is. I think he is innocent, but only because he is not proved to be guilty. He is only a human, there is no need to lift him up as a god, or any more special than he actually is. Right now seems that he is forgotten as a pedophile. And if he is one, life will strike him back.

    How clear is that?
    How clear is Jordan’s father only seeming concerned about how much he could get, hardly mentioning poor Jordan.?
    How bout the fact, 100s of children slept in Jackson’s bed, but this is all the victim’s there are? Someone else would’ve had the guts to come forward by now. So why hasn’t anyone else come forward, to speak out against Jackson?

    The floacists,

    Why doesn’t jordie talk to his mother anymore if he feels he never was molested?

    From what I’ve heard, jordie’s uncle said that jordie doesn’t talk to june anymore because he blames her for him being “molested” by jackson, because she allowed him to sleep in the bed with jordie.

    I never thought that was completly true. I’ve always thought that evan chandler got what he said he wanted in the phone convos and what he wanted was to bring both june and mj down…

    Where is jordie chandler now?

    And where did you hear about him telling people he was not molested? That is quit a revalation.

      How do you feel about the fact that your “husband” is a fucking liar? How do you degrade the character of an innocent human being. Lets look at Michael for a second. This is a man, who from the very moment that his father recognized his talent, at the age of 5, has been beaten (literally) to make good music. This is a man who from day one has been depended on by 8/9 other siblings (most of which were older then him) to put food on the table. This is a man who spent his entire childhood in the public eye, his every move being watched and judged, every show and song depended on, every opportunity to have so much as a friend or a trip to the playground or a normal class trip taken from him. This is a man who was forced to grow up and be serious and work before he even reached the age of childhood. A man who under strick religious upbringing was never allowed to date. A man who’s fathers wrath and that very religious upbringing, along with having his brothers damn him to silence as they had sex with random groupies in the bed that he was sleeping in is probaly the reason that he was so detached from the normal sexuality that human beings experienced. Failed marriages that most likely have a lot to do with the fact that this man was never allowed to be socialized. Accusation of child molestation on a man that through is entire life has done nothing but tried to find a way to fit the time to be that boy he never got to be into all the other craziness of his world. 40+ years of serious, dedicated work guided by the belt and the voice of a father that he probably fears more than he could find the heart to love. A man who never found comfort at home and had to run to Diana Ross to find that acceptance and the peace and understanding of a family. This man was doomed for psychological issues from day one. Look at everything he’s been through to be who he is “the icon” and “the superstar”. Those titles that left him with nothing but a fortune and confusion. And then here come these ignorant assholes too lazy to put in the hardwork it takes to make something of themselves and put food on their own tables destroying his career. Here come these assholes vividly describing a lie that took away 20 million dollars worth of hardwork, dedication, top records, and hit songs to a man very deserving of all his gains. A lie that caused stress and character assasinations that probably contributed to this mans death. And it took his death for Mr. CHandler to decide that the right thing to do was to come forth with the truth. How dare we feel like we have the right to treat people like shit? How dare we love him for his music, abandon him for this drama, and then feel like we can fall right back into our places as his fans when the dust settles and all comes to light? In what crazy mindset is any of this right? RIP Michael Jackson, your legend will live on, the humanitarian in you will continue to touch lives, your talent will continue to influence, and NOW (FINALLY) THE BOY IN YOU CAN FLY.

        I completely agree…and if you listen at his song They Don’t Care about Us, you can tell he was really hurt by what we as a country did to him as a person. We looked at him as Jack-o not Micheal Jackson the household name since he was 5 who sold out arenas, but Jack-o. A man the media portrayed as a nutcase dangling babies over balconies, a pedophile touching little boys, a has been who’s in debt by $500,000. Is this how we repay a man who through love, music, and charity brought not 1 nation together but ALL nation’s, a world, together to celebrate his life?

    Jordans DAD and MUM are the REAL scumbags in this whole story. Jordans DAD was a smart and money greedy man – He was a dentist and a Film Writer – A well educated man – He wrote the very sucessful comedy film “Robin Hood – Men in Tights” – Both parents manipulated the very handsome Jordan into the arms of Micheal Jackson – Once Micheal Jackson was transfixed on Jordan they were given houses and credit cards to go on lavish spending spree’s. DID they do anything to stop it? NO they didn’t – DID they pull their son out of the house? NO – They let it continue and went on a spending spree with Micheals Credit card. They blackmailed Michael Jackson into giving them the money to produce & finance the film. Only when Micheal didnt give them the film money did they sue – and got a £20 million payoff – Once they got the money, did they support their son? NO – The mother ran off and left her 14yr old son alone….. and the dad used the money for his own pleasure and advancement – IT IS NOT SURPRISING TO HEAR JORDAN is ANGRY – The money is clearly running OUT and JORDAN resorts back to what he knows best – SUE SUE SUE – but this time he;s SUING his OWN DAD!!!!!!….KARMA has a strange way of coming back and hitting you in the face.
    NOBODY has WON in this Battle – JORDAN – THE PARENTS – MICHEAL JACKSON –

    Man FUCK!!! all ya yall know that Michael Jackson could never do that.Did you know that he turned white because it was at the white house with Ronald Regean in 1984, that it was a plan that one of ronald reagans chefs put vitiligo on michael jackson dinner plate if you dont believe me look at this I got it from a website I copy and paste:

    The decision they made was truly devious: Why not make Michael Jackson into a white person, a race traitor? The medical technology already existed and all they had to do was lure Jackson into a trap and that trap was the White House. So in 1984 Jackson was invited to visit the White House to be “honored” for his accomplishments. As you can see from the photo above, Jackson was a black African man at this time. But during his White House visit, an aggressive biological agent carrying a strain of vitiligo was put in his food and Jackson’s slow decline in a white hell started.

    This did not go unnoticed by the white U.S. government. Alarm grew in Washington, DC. At this time, Crack-Cocaine was being funneled into African neighborhoods throughout the U.S. by the CIA to poison a whole generation of Africans. President Ronald Reagan also wanted something done about the popularity of Michael Jackson. A secret meeting was convened to discuss options. An outright assassination was deemed too risky plus they did not want Jackson to be immortalized. They wanted him discredited and destroyed.
    Dang that is fuked up.

    With a wave of his gloved hand, Michael Jackson signed the cheque for 25 million dollars.
    The world’s biggest and richest pop star believed he had finally put paid to claims that he had sex with children by buying the silence of young Jordie Chandler.
    Two years on, these allegations are still refusing to go away. While Jackson struts his stuff at the start of a year-long world tour, he is facing two multi-million-dollar law suits in the States which pull no punches in painting the Pied Piper of Pop as a paedophile.
    Even more sensationally, American fans have been stunned by publication of Jordie Chandler’s secret diary in a new book which tells in graphic detail how Jackson used his power and wealth to seduce the 13-year-old…and then win his silence.
    Revealingly, in one entry Jordie writes: “Michael and I talked about what would happen if I told someone about our sexual relations.
    “It was simple, he said. He would go to jail, I’d go to a children’s home and my parents might be jailed on the charge of negligence.
    “Michael told me, ‘If someone asks you if we have done something, just deny it’.”
    But neither Jordie nor his parents are willing to keep silent any more. And Jordie, now 16, is willing to take the stand as the family seek pounds 40 million damages in court.
    They are accusing Jackson of breaking an agreement never to discuss the case by denying on a TV talk show that he ever molested Jordie.
    Ex-bodyguard Jerome Johnson, who is suing Jackson for wrongful dismissal, is adding to the star’s problems.
    In his lawsuit he claims that he smuggled boys into the singer’s bedroom. He also alleges that he had to keep estranged wife Lisa Marie Presley away from Jackson’s bedroom during a stay in Las Vegas because he had two young boys with him.
    But it is the diary – the cornerstone of a book by Victor Guiterrez – that is the most damning.
    With childlike innocence, Jordie tells how he wandered into Jackson’s bedroom at his fabled Neverland ranch and found a group of young boys playing a slot machine that paid out $100 bills…naked.
    Jackson assured him it was to make sure no one could cheat by hiding trick devices in their clothes. He also made sure the boys knew they should never tell anyone else about the game.
    Guiterrez says the star mounted a calculated campaign to seduce Jordie. And Jordie’s account of their time together bears this out.
    Early on in their relationship, Jordie recalls: “Michael’s kisses were so passionate. He touched my hair and put his tongue in my ear.”
    In Los Angeles, Jordie adds: “We kissed with Michael touching me all over my body – but only on top of my clothes.”
    In Monaco, where Jackson was receiving a music award, Jordie tells how the singer invited him to have a hot bath.
    “While I was taking off my shirt, Michael took me in his arms and began to kiss me,” says Jordie.
    “Michael finished taking off my shirt and then took off my trousers. When I was left only in my underwear, he pulled them down and took them off with his teeth.”
    They got into the bath hand-in-hand and Jordie then tells of the “games” Jackson taught him to play as they sat among the soap suds. Those “games” included oral sex and mutual masturbation.
    As they dried off, Jackson assured Jordie that what they had done was OK.
    To prove it, he recited a list of the other boy “lovers” he had had in the past.
    Incredibly, Jordie had been accompanied on the trip by his mother June and his little sister Lily.
    On a previous trip to Las Vegas, June had discovered that Jordie and Jackson had shared a bed for the first time. Incensed, she confronted Jackson, who burst into tears.
    He assured her: “Ours is a friendly, honest, true and loving relationship. I don’t see anything wrong with Jordie and I sleeping together.
    “From then on,” Jordie notes, “Michael and I slept in the same bed.”
    The next day, Jackson bought June a Cartier bracelet worth 12,000 dollars and gave it to her along with a note “thanking her for her friendship”.
    One of the ways Jackson allegedly persuaded Jordie to participate in the sex games was by detailing his sexual activities with another boy, Brett Barnes. “If Jordie, wouldn’t do the same,” he claimed, “perhaps Jordie doesn’t love me as much as Brett loves me.”
    Jordie’s father Evan was divorced from his mother and he reeled back in shock when Jackson came to stay – and he found him in his son’s bed.

    “Jordie was in the foetal position, with Michael hugging him from behind,” says Evan. “Michael’s arm was in front of my son’s body with his hand resting in my son’s crotch area.
    “I was extremely confused. I didn’t want to start a fight with a high emotional charge when I might hurt my son.”
    Evan says Jackson insisted in sleeping in the same room as Jordie and Jordie’s stepbrother Nikki. “I thought that it was because he was a simple person who didn’t need luxury,” he says.
    Jordie says Jackson joined him in his bunk bed where they masturbated each other. It had a serious affect on Nikki.
    “Next morning he woke Nathalie and me up, asking if it was all right for two boys to get married,” Evan recalls.
    “When we asked him why, he didn’t respond. Later he told us, ‘Michael is bad, he was hugging Jordie in bed’.”
    As Jackson’s hold over Jordie grew, he would tell him to repeat six “wishes” three times a day so that they would come true.
    They were: NO wenches, bitches, heifers or hoes (whores). NEVER give up your “bliss” (sex acts). LIVE with me in Neverland forever. NO conditioning. NEVER grow up. BE better than best friends forever (lovers).
    Evan adds: “By then Jackson and Jordie were so close they had developed their own vocabulary, shared the same inside jokes…they even had the same movements and style of dress.”
    Jordie was no longer the same boy that he knew.
    His second wife Nathalie put it coldly, if accurately, when she told him: “Jordie doesn’t even notice if you’re in the same room.”
    Puzzled, he asked what she thought was wrong. “It’s obvious,” she replied. They’re in love.”

      Obviously if you’re going to accuse a Star of child molestation, and get what you want out of it – you go about with a plan. Since there’s no evidence you’ve got to come up with something right – can’t come empty-handed? You make up scenes, stories that would put the target millionaire in a bad light. If Evan Chandler is a film writer as stated earlier, I could imagine that he could easily describe scenes that never happened and help his son put together a diary that would assist in destroying MJ and getting a hold of his money.

      If MJ was really a child molester he wouldn’t be so open about other “victims”, and he wouldn’t be placing himself in position like that with Jordan at his parent’s place, with other adults present, for the obvious risk of getting caught. It’s ridiculous, and it sounds totally made up. I don’t believe this crock of bullshit. Just a product of a “creative” man with an imagination that will do anything for money – and will definitely put his imagination to work when he sees the opportunity.

      “fuckjackothepedo” if you think this proves anything, then obviously you don’t have any understanding about how people’s minds can work when their eyes are on the money. Evan Chandler did not care about his son or his feelings, or the future consequences of all his lies and greed – That is obvious, looking further down the road of their relationship as father and son, which is full of problems. I do feel somewhat sorry for Jordan because he was dragged into this scam at such a young age, being forced to lie by his father. His father put him in a very difficult position and screwed up with his mind and his dignity.

      MJ’s name deserves to be cleared. It’s already been cleared by the court of law, but not in the general press. I hope the truth comes out.

      In 1993, Michael Jackson was accused of abuse by Evan Chandler, on behalf of his then-13-year-old child, Jordan Chandler. Jackson and Jordan had become friends in May 1992, to the father’s disapproval and concern. The friendship became well known, as the tabloid media reported that Jackson became a member of the Chandler family unit. Under the influence of a controversial sedative administered by Evan Chandler, his son said that Jackson had touched his penis.[1] Evan Chandler was tape-recorded threatening to damage the singer’s music career,[2] and engaged Jackson in unsuccessful negotiations to resolve the issue with a financial settlement.[3] Jordan Chandler then told a psychiatrist and later police that he and Jackson had engaged in acts of kissing, masturbation, and oral sex, as well as giving a description of what he alleges were the singer’s genitals.[4][3]

      Jackson’s home, Neverland Ranch, was searched, even though other children and family members had stated that Jackson was not a pedophile. Jackson’s older sister, La Toya Jackson, accused her brother of being a pedophile, but later retracted her statement.[5] Jackson became dependent on drugs as the stress of the allegations mounted,[6][7] and canceled the remainder of his tour. He went into rehabilitation overseas, and began a relationship with Lisa Marie Presley. On his return to the US, Jackson agreed to a 25-minute strip search, which was required to see if the description of his genitals provided by Jordan Chandler was accurate. Doctors concluded that there were some strong similarities but it was not a definitive match. Jackson proclaimed his innocence, and criticized the media coverage. Jackson’s friends and legal advisers took over his defense and finances, persuading him to settle the allegations out of court.

      Tabloid reaction to the allegations were negative towards Jackson,[8] and complaints about the coverage included bias and accepting stories of criminal activity for money, and engaging in illegal activities themselves.[9] Public polls at the time reported that a large majority of people believed Jackson was innocent.[10] On January 1, 1994, Jackson settled a civil suit out of court with the Chandler family and their legal team for $22 million. Because Jordan Chandler refused to testify in the criminal proceedings, the state closed its criminal investigation citing lack of evidence, and Jackson was not charged with a crime. Jackson’s support amongst the public then began to waver, and Jackson’s own career and image was significantly damaged, which became a recurring theme in Jackson’s future music. Prosecution evidence from the 1993 allegations would also be used against the entertainer in the 2005 People v. Jackson child sexual abuse trial, where he was acquitted on all counts.[11][12]

      [edit] Friendship, tape recording, allegations and negotiations
      By the summer of 1993, it was revealed that Jackson allowed children to sleep over at his Neverland ranch, a fact which came under much media scrutiny when child sexual abuse allegations were brought against him.[13][14] Jackson became firm friends with Jordan Chandler and his family after a meeting in May 1992, as he was a fan of Jackson.[9] Their friendship became so close that the National Enquirer ran a featured story with the title “Michael’s New Adopted Family”, which implied that Jackson had “stolen” the family from the father, Evan Chandler, who was admittedly jealous over Jackson’s influence on his son.[15] Communications between Jackson and the father broke down further when Chandler asked, “Look, are you having sex with my son?”. The father’s opinion of Jackson then changed, to the extent that he invited Jackson to build an extra wing on their home so that the singer could move in with them permanently.[15] Chandler’s concerns about the close friendship returned, and he tried to prevent Jackson from seeing his son, using a prior custody agreement.[9]

      Once incorrectly labeled a “Truth Serum”, sodium Amytal has long been discredited by the medical profession. It is now considered a mind-altering sedative.On July 2, 1993, in a private telephone conversation, Chandler was tape recorded as saying,

      There was no reason why he [Jackson] had to stop calling me…I picked the nastiest son of a bitch I could find [Evan Chandler's lawyer, Barry Rothman], all he wants to do is get this out in the public as fast as he can, as big as he can and humiliate as many people as he can. He’s nasty, he’s mean, he’s smart and he’s hungry for publicity. Everything’s going to a certain plan that isn’t just mine. Once I make that phone call, this guy is going to destroy everybody in sight in any devious, nasty, cruel way that he can do it. I’ve given him full authority to do that. Jackson is an evil guy, he is worse than that and I have the evidence to prove it. 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.[2]

      —Evan Chandler
      In the same conversation, when asked how this would affect his son, Chandler replied, “That’s irrelevant to me…It will be a massacre if I don’t get what I want. It’s going to be bigger than all us put together…This man [Jackson] is going to be humiliated beyond belief…He will not sell one more record”.[2] The recorded conversation was a critical aspect of Jackson’s defense against the upcoming allegation made against him. He and his supporters argue that he was the victim of a jealous father whose only goal was to extort money from the singer.[2]

      In early August, Chandler, a registered dentist, extracted a tooth from his son’s mouth, and was later forced to admit that he used the controversial sedative sodium Amytal during the procedure.[1] Under the influence of the drug, Jordan alleged that Jackson had touched his penis. Experts state that the drug sodium Amytal “makes patients extremely susceptible to suggestions”.[1] Dr Lewis Strong, a Los Angeles psychiatrist stated, “You can’t trust it, I never use it in my practice. I have found it to be unreliable. It’s certainly not a truth serum”.[1] Dr Kenneth Gottlieb, a San Francisco psychiatrist who has used the drug, stated, “I would never want to use a drug that tampers with a person’s unconscious unless there was no other drug available, and I would not use it without resuscitation equipment in case of allergic reaction”.[1]

      Over the next couple of months both parties engaged in unsuccessful (out of court) financial negotiations, with Chandler and his legal team asking for $20 million, or the issue would be taken to criminal court.[3] Jackson declined the offer, saying, “No way in Hell”. A few weeks later, Jackson’s legal team gave a counter-offer to the value of $1 million, which was declined by Chandler.[3] The father then lowered his request to $15 million; Jackson rejected this and lowered his original counter-offer to $350,000. With both sides unable to reach an agreement, Chandler decided he would take it to court.[3] Chandler then took his son to see a psychiatrist called Dr. Mathis Abrams, and during the three-hour session with the doctor, Jordan Chandler said he had had a sexual relationship with Jackson that included incidents of kissing, masturbation and oral sex that went on for months. He then repeated these allegations to police and gave a detailed description of what he alleged was Jackson’s penis.[3][4]

      [edit] Allegations made public, investigation and La Toya Jackson
      On August 18, the Los Angeles Police Department’s Sexually Exploited Child Unit began a criminal investigation into Jackson. The same day, Jordan Chandler’s mother told police that she did not believe Jackson had molested her son.[4][13][14][16] On August 21, a search warrant was issued, allowing police to search Jackson’s Neverland Ranch. Police questioned 30 children who were friends of Jackson, with all denying that the singer was a child molester.[13][16] A police officer involved in the investigation told The Los Angeles Times that no evidence (medical, photographic or video) could be found that would support a criminal filing.[16] The same day the allegations were made public, Jackson began the second leg of his Dangerous World Tour in Bangkok. On August 24, Jackson’s investigator held a press conference accusing Chandler of trying to extort $20 million from the singer, although the investigator failed to mention that Jackson had given several counter-offers.[13][16] On August 25, Jackson’s young friends Brett Barnes and Wade Robson held a press conference where they stated that they had slept in the same bed as Jackson, but nothing sexual in nature had occurred.[8][17] Jackson’s family soon held a press conference of their own to show support, saying it was their “unequivocal belief that Michael has been made a victim of a cruel and obvious attempt to take advantage of his fame and wealth.”[8][17] The police then began an investigation into Evan Chandlers’s prior actions and found that he was $68,400 behind in his child support payments, even though he was well-paid as a dentist.[9] On November 8, police searched the Jackson family home, Hayvenhurst, but found nothing of importance to add to their investigation.[6][13]

      In the winter of 1993, despite not seeing or speaking to Jackson for a number of years, La Toya Jackson claimed that her brother was a pedophile and that she had proof, which she was prepared to disclose for a fee of $500,000. A bidding war between US and UK tabloids began, but fell through when they realised that her revelations were not what she had claimed them to be.[5] Then in Israel, she stated, “I cannot and will not be a silent collaborator in his crimes against young children… Forget about the superstar, forget about the icon. If he was any other 35-year-old man who was sleeping with little boys, you wouldn’t like this guy”.[5] She also claimed that checks had been made out to several boys and that Jackson’s own physical abuse as a child had turned him into an abuser.[5][18] She would later claim that Jackson had tried to kidnap and kill her.[18] The rest of the family disowned her, and in subsequent years she would insist that she was forced to make the allegations by her then husband for financial gain.[5] Just prior to making the allegations, her husband was arrested for striking her in the face, arms and legs with a chair.[19] By the turn of the millennium Jackson had forgiven his sister.[5]

      [edit] Lisa Marie Presley, health concerns, rehabilitation and Elizabeth Taylor
      See also: Michael Jackson’s health and appearance
      Jackson first met Lisa Marie Presley (the daughter of Elvis Presley) in 1974, during one of Jackson’s family engagements at the MGM Grand.[8] In 1993, Jackson was reconnected with Presley through a mutual friend, staying in contact every day by telephone. As the child sexual abuse accusations became public, Jackson became dependent on Lisa Marie for emotional support; she was concerned about his faltering health and his addiction to drugs.[20] Lisa Marie explained, “I believed he didn’t do anything wrong and that he was wrongly accused and yes I started falling for him. I wanted to save him. I felt that I could do it.”[21] In one phone call he made to her, she described him as high, incoherent and delusional.[20] Jackson proposed to Lisa Marie over the telephone towards the fall of 1993, saying, “If I asked you to marry me, would you do it?”.[20] The marriage was, in her words, “a married couple’s life … that was sexually active”.[22] They divorced less than two years later, remaining friendly.[23] The entertainer began taking painkillers, Valium, Xanax and Ativan to deal with the stress of the allegations made against him.[20] A few months after the allegations became news, Jackson had lost approximately 10 pounds in weight and had stopped eating.[24] In a court deposition unrelated to alleged child abuse, Jackson was visibly drowsy, lacked concentration and repeatedly slurred while speaking. He could not remember the dates of his prior album releases or names of people he had worked with and took several minutes to name some of his recent albums.[25] Jackson’s health had deteriorated to the extent that he canceled the remainder of his tour and flew with Elizabeth Taylor and her husband to London. When the singer arrived at the airport, he had to be held up; he was then rushed to the home of Elton John’s manager and afterwards to a clinic,[6][7] but when he was searched for drugs on entry, 18 vials of medicine were found in a suitcase. Jackson booked the whole fourth floor of the clinic, and was put on Valium IV to wean him from painkillers.[6][7][14] The singer’s spokesperson told reporters that Jackson was “barely able to function adequately on an intellectual level”.[7] While in the clinic, Jackson took part in group and one-on-one therapy sections.[6][7]

      [edit] Strip search
      See also: Michael Jackson’s health and appearance

      Michael Jackson in 1988, two years after he was diagnosed with vitiligo, pictured in the early stages of the diseaseIn December, Jackson was served with a warrant for a strip search of his body, as police wanted to verify Jordan Chandler’s description of Jackson’s genitals, and details of patches of vitiligo on the singer’s body; an illness Jackson was diagnosed with in the mid 1980s.[5][26] The order stated that officers were to examine, photograph and videotape Jackson’s entire body, “including his penis, anus, hips, buttocks and any other part of his body”.[5][26][27] The warrant stated that refusal to comply would be used in court as a possible indication of guilt. The strip search took place on December 20 at the entertainer’s ranch. Those present for the prosecution were District Attorney Tom Sneddon, a detective, a photographer and a doctor. Those present on behalf of Jackson were his two attorneys, a physician, a detective, a bodyguard and a photographer.[5] The attorneys and Sneddon agreed to leave the room when the examination took place, and Jackson demanded that the prosecution detective should also leave, which he subsequently did. In an emotional state, Jackson stood on a platform in the middle of the room, took off all his clothes and was examined for approximately 25 minutes, although he was never physically touched.[5] The search report concluded that there were some strong similarities between Chandler’s description and Jackson’s body, but there wasn’t a definite match.[5]

      [edit] Jackson speaks out
      On December 22, Jackson responded to the allegations and everything that had occurred for the first time via satellite from his ranch:

      As you may already know, after my tour ended I remained out of the country [US] undergoing treatment for a dependency on pain medication…There have been many disgusting statements made recently concerning allegations of improper conduct on my part. These statements about me are totally false…I will say I am particularly upset by the handling of the mass matter by the incredible, terrible mass media. At every opportunity, the media has dissected and manipulated these allegations to reach their own conclusions. I ask all of you to wait and hear the truth before you label or condemn me. Don’t treat me like a criminal, because I am innocent. I have been forced to submit to a dehumanizing and humiliating examination…It was the most humiliating ordeal of my life…But if this is what I have to endure to prove my innocence, my complete innocence, so be it.[13][14][28]

      —Michael Jackson
      A poll at the time, conducted by A Current Affair, found that nearly 75 percent of people believed Jackson was telling the truth in his response.[29] While Jackson sought medical help for his faltering health, his legal team and friends, such as Presley and Taylor, took control of his defense and finances.[24] Much of Jackson’s legal team would meet three times a week at Taylor’s home to discuss the case.[24] Taylor then called in more legal professionals on Jackson’s behalf. Eventually Presley, Taylor, and Jackson’s team all agreed that the singer should settle out of court; it was their opinion that the entertainer’s health had deteriorated to such a degree that he could not endure a lengthy trial.[7]

      [edit] Media reaction and settlement
      Complaints about the coverage and media included using sensational headlines to draw in readers and viewers when the content itself did not support the headline,[16] accepting stories of Jackson’s alleged criminal activity in return for money,[30] accepting confidential leaked material from the police investigation in return for money paid,[9] deliberately using pictures of Jackson’s appearance at its worst,[8] a lack of objectivity[8] and using headlines that strongly implied Jackson’s guilt.[8]

      The New York Post ran the headline “Peter Pan or Pervert”, despite minimal information being disclosed by the police.[8] Just two weeks after the allegations were reported, the headline, “Michael Jackson: A Curtain Closes” reflected the attitude of most tabloid-orientated media.[31] In a piece for Hard Copy, Diane Dimond—a journalist who would spend the next 15 years trying to prove Jackson was a pedophile—ran a story stating, “And one more shocker, Hard Copy has obtained new documents in the criminal investigation of Michael Jackson, and they are chilling; they contain the name of child movie actor Macaulay Culkin”. The document itself stated that Culkin strongly denied being harmed by Jackson.[16]

      Two tabloid television shows accepted confidential leaked documents from the Los Angeles County Department of Children’s Services for $20,000.[9] A number of Jackson’s former employees—most of whom had worked at his ranch—sold stories to the tabloids of alleged prior sexual misconduct on Jackson’s part, instead of reporting their claims to police. One couple initially asked for $100,000 claiming that Jackson sexually caressed Macaulay Culkin. They were prepared to expand upon this allegation for a fee of $500,000, whereby they would allege that Jackson put his hands down Culkin’s pants. When the story broke, Culkin strongly denied the allegation, and did so again in court.[30] A former security guard made various allegations about Jackson, saying he was fired because he “knew too much”,[32] and alleged that he was ordered by Jackson to destroy a photo of a naked boy. Instead of reporting this to police, Hard Copy accepted the story in return for $150,000.[32] Afterwards, Jackson’s maid, Branca Francia, alleged that she “quit in disgust” after seeing Jackson in a shower with a child, but did not inform the police. It later emerged that Francia was actually fired in 1991, but nevertheless sold her story to Hard Copy for $20,000.[32]

      When Jackson left the US to go into rehabilitation, the media showed the singer little sympathy. The Daily Mirror (UK) held a “Spot the Jacko” contest, offering readers a trip to Disney World if they could correctly predict where the entertainer would appear next.[6] A Daily Express headline read, “Drug Treatment Star Faces Life on the Run”, while a News of the World headline accused Jackson of being a fugitive. These tabloids also falsely alleged that Jackson had traveled to Europe to have cosmetic surgery that would make him unrecognizable on his return.[6] Geraldo Rivera set up a mock trial, with a jury made up of audience members, even though Jackson had not been charged with a crime.[33]

      [edit] Public reaction prior to settlement
      Despite the negative attitude of the media, the public (at least before the out-of-court settlement) still supported Jackson. A phone-in poll conducted by A Current Affair—known for its unfavorable coverage of the allegations—found that more than 80 percent of callers did not believe the Chandlers.[10] A poll of teenagers—Jackson’s central fan base at the time—also reported that 75 percent did not believe the allegations; this rose to nearly 90 percent amongst African American teenagers. Two thirds of children between the ages of 13 to 15—the approximate age of Jordan Chandler at the time—believed he was innocent.[10] A poll conducted by Entertainment Weekly showed that only 12 percent of adults believed the allegations, and only 8 percent of people were less likely to buy a product endorsed by the entertainer. The same poll also concluded that public opinion of Jackson had risen since the allegations, with Jackson’s past records selling at a faster rate.[10][31]

      [edit] Out of court settlement
      By January 1, 1994, $2 million had been spent by prosecution departments in California, two Grand Juries had questioned two hundred witnesses, but Jordan’s allegations could not be corroborated.[34] A few weeks later, Chandler’s attorney, Larry Feldman, petitioned the court that he should be allowed access to Jackson’s finances over concerns that the singer’s wealth would give him an unfair advantage in court. One adviser to Jackson stated, “You can take pictures of Michael’s dick and he’s not gonna like it, but once you start trying to figure out how much money he has, that’s where he stops playing around.”[34] On January 25, Jackson settled a civil suit out of court. He agreed to pay a total of $22 million to Jordan, Chandler, June Chandler (the mother) and prosecution attorney Larry Feldman.[27][34] Jordan refused to testify in a criminal trial, neither the police nor the Grand Jury pressed criminal charges, citing a lack of evidence, Jackson was not charged with a crime.[11][13][27][34] Both parties signed a legal agreement declaring they would not speak about the case details. When asked why he paid off his accuser, Jackson answered, “I wanted to go on with my life. Too many people had already been hurt. I want to make records. I want to sing. I want to perform again…It’s my talent. My hard work. My life. My decision.”[34] He also wanted to avoid a “media circus”.[11]

      [edit] Aftermath
      Three years later Jordan Chandler’s alleged account of the relationship was detailed in a book by journalist Victor M Gutierrez. The book was said to be based on a diary the boy had kept at the time and included details of alleged sexual encounters between Jackson and himself.[13] In 1996, Evan Chandler sued Jackson for around $60 million, claiming Jackson had breached an agreement never to discuss the case. In 1999, a court ruled in Jackson’s favor and threw out the lawsuit.[13]

      Today, Jordan Chandler is in his late twenties living in a $2.35 million home in Long Island under an assumed name. He and his family also own a high-rise apartment in Manhattan and a condominium in Santa Barbara. Jordan Chandler and Jackson never spoke to each other again; he received his last installment from Jackson in June 1999.[34]

      [edit] Effect on Jackson’s career
      Jackson’s commercial appeal and public image declined, and further controversies involving Jackson, as well as a general decline within the twenty first century music industry[citation needed] were also factors. The allegations had other notable affects: the singer released material less frequently, toured less and the allegations against him became a recurring theme in his music.

      The album he had released prior to the allegations was Dangerous in 1991, and with shipments of seven million copies in the US and 30 million copies sold worldwide, it stands as one of the world’s best-selling records.[35][36] The album’s appeal meant that singles were still being released through 1993 (at the time of the allegations) and Jackson was still traveling the world on his Dangerous World Tour. However, by the fall of 1993, with criticism mounting, the ninth single “Gone Too Soon” did not sell enough in the UK, and the tenth single “Dangerous” was canceled.[37] Jackson canceled the end of the tour, without performing in the US.[6][14]

      After the allegations broke, songs specifically recorded by Jackson for the Addams Family Values movie and soundtrack were dropped.[10] Plans to market new Michael Jackson fragrances for Men and Women were shelved by the maker because of Jackson’s drug problems.[38] By the end of 1994, the ten year partnership between Jackson and drinks manufacturer Pepsi was dissolved, even though Jackson had grossed the company $500 million in a decade. Jackson’s fans then boycotted the company; its stock value fell 20 percent the following year.[25]

      His next studio album was HIStory; released in the summer of 1995. It was a double album, making its level of success difficult to compare up against Dangerous. Worldwide sales were 18 million copies, but as a double disc album, it sold 36 million individual units.[39][40] It was Jackson’s second-best album in terms of grossed revenue, behind Thriller, and is the best-selling multiple-disc album of all time.[41] He promoted the album with the HIStory World Tour; it remains his most successful show to date with 4.5 million tickets sold. Despite the show’s success the singer avoided taking it to his home country, aside from two concerts in Honolulu, Hawaii. Jackson never performed another world tour.[42]

      The allegations also had an affect on the content of Jackson’s music: HIStory, which was released shortly after the allegations, “creates an atmosphere of paranoia”, according to one writer.[43] Its content focuses on the public struggles Jackson went through just prior to its production. In the songs “Scream” and “Tabloid Junkie”, along with the ballad “You Are Not Alone”, Jackson directs much of his anger and personal hurt at the media.[44] In the track “D.S.”, Jackson launched a verbal attack against a character who is often cited to be Tom Sneddon; the District Attorney that requested his strip search. He describes the person as an antisocial, white supremacist who wanted to, “get my ass, dead or alive”. Of the song Sneddon said, “I have not, shall we say, done him the honor of listening to it, but I’ve been told that it ends with the sound of a gunshot.”[45] In the introspective ballad “Stranger in Moscow”, Jackson laments over his “fall from grace”.[43][44]

      Released in 1997, and premiering at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival, Ghosts was a short film written by Jackson and Stephen King (directed by Stan Winston).[46] The story was based loosely on how Jackson felt after he was accused of child sexual abuse in 1993. In the plot, the Maestro—played by Jackson—is nearly chased out of his town by the residents and the mayor, because they believe him to be a “freak”.[46]

      Jackson’s last album, Invincible, was released six years later in 2001, which was the longest period the singer has ever taken between records. It was seen as a relative commercial disappointment when compared to Jackson’s prior solo material; it shipped two million copies in the US (worldwide sales stand at approximately 10 million copies).[35][47] The album spawned three singles: “You Rock My World”, “Cry” and “Butterflies”, but only one reached the top 10 in the US.[48] The low sales were accredited to the lack of a supporting world tour, only two music videos being released to promote the album, and hampered by a label dispute. Just before the release of Invincible, Jackson had informed the head of Sony Music Entertainment, Tommy Mottola, that he was not going to renew his contract.[39] As a result, all singles releases, video shootings and promotions concerning the Invincible album were canceled.[39]

      [edit] People v. Jackson (Evidence Code 1108)

      A decade later fans show their support as further allegations are made against the entertainerIn 2003, Jackson was charged with seven counts of child sexual abuse and two counts of administering an intoxicating agent in order to commit a child sexual abuse felony against Gavin Arvizo, who was under 14 at the time. Earlier that year, a Granada Television documentary, called Living with Michael Jackson, showed the pop star holding hands and discussing sleeping arrangements with Arvizo.[49] Jackson denied these allegations, saying that the sleepovers were in no way sexual in nature. Sneddon again led the effort to prosecute Jackson.[50] These prosecutions led to complaints that Sneddon was motivated by a “vendetta” against Jackson. Evidence to support these claims include Sneddon joking about Jackson’s greatest hits album being released on the same day as his arrest and saying, “Like the sheriff and I really are into that kind of music.” He then preceded to call Jackson “Wacko Jacko” and shouting “We got him, we finally got him” to the media, when he had only just began an investigation and had gathered limited information or evidence.[50][51]

      The People v. Jackson trial began in Santa Maria, California, two years after Jackson was originally charged. During the trial the judge allowed the prosecution to bring in evidence needed to determine whether or not a defendant had a propensity to commit certain crimes. This meant that the prosecution were allowed to use any evidence they had against Jackson from the 1993 allegations to help secure a conviction.[11][12] Although evidence from 1993 was used, Jordan Chandler did not appear in the Jackson trial. The trial lasted five months, until the end of May 2005, Jackson was found not guilty on all counts in June.[52]

      What makes you talk like this is *fact*?? Were you there? If not, these are just lies. And I can make up lies about any damn person I want to as well… for example, Obama was hugging Whiskey, my pet terrier and had sex with him in the white house while security guards were outside to prevent anyone from finding out.

      See… even I can write shit, just like anyone else can… doesn’t make it reality.

      Hahaha. Victor Guiterrez is – together with Diane Diamond – the most pathetic excuse for a journalist ever. It’s common knowledge that the man hasn’t done anything worthy to be called “serious” in his life, and it’s ridiculous of you to post this and then demand to be taken seriously. Guiterrez isn’t a journalist, he’s a parasite, and if you would’ve done your research I wouldn’t have wasted my time reading this shizz.

      got all that wrong. check wikipedia and read books written about the cases. the police did not find any child porn on jackson’s computers, pictures or magazines. He also gave his bed to his guest while he slept on the floor — that he admitted in the Bashir interview. The police interviewed 100s of witnesses and all said he was not a pedophile. You obviously only listened to rumors

    I’ve heard rumors that after 1993, Jordie Chandler was caught buying a MJ album. Can anyone confirm this as truth or lies?

    Perhaps he should write a book about this scandal: Jordie Chandler: “If I was forced to make false allegations against Michael Jackson, This Is How I’d Do It.”

    If a pedophile molested your kid, what would you prefer to be paid off or to see the pervert in jail? MJ was obviously set up. The Chandlers are scum and will no doubt pay dearly for what they did.

    what a load of crap that book is… im sure michael didnt molest jordie or any other child for that matter, the chandlers are motivated by money just like the arvizos are too. its because michael is so kind and loving and innocent that these people took advantage of this. yes he had sleepovers but it wasnt just boys like the press make out, michael loves being in the company of children because he is so childlike himself, and children love being with him because he is so much fun to be around. michael is a very touchy/feely man, he likes to kiss and cuddle people but i believe this is as far as it goes. harming a child is not michael jackson. these stories were completly made up,the same as the one where a former employer took to the stand to say he had seen michael jackson molest macculley culkin, yet maccully culkin said no such thing ever happened. and im sure culkin would no if he had been molested or not!! but sick minded people think they can go around saying what they like about people, regardless of whos life they muck up. well they tried and failed with michael, he is an angel and the majority of people can see that, he is still setting records now with 50 sellout concerts in london,because people still believe in him and knew from day 1 he was innocent and always will be innocent. the facts speak for themselves, its just the minority of the world who refuse to look into the true facts and instead pass their time reading a liars book, and then even more laughable believing it!! there is one thing that always puzzles me though, why are these mj haters always on his pages and taking the time to comment about him? i dont understand it, its like i cant stand gary glitter, he is a convicted pedophile, but not once have i ever typed his name into my search engine to read up about him!! so if the so called mj haters really feel that he is guilty then why would they waste there time reading about him and writing blogs on him? WEIRD!!!!

    well someone said that jordan was pissed becuase his mother did not step and she let jackson molest him, why then he did not show up and back up the arvizo boy?

    i mean he was that angry and he wanted to make jackson pay for what he did why did not he testify against him in the court room the second time he was accused.

    lets say he was a kid back then in 1993 his family got the money and run away but he wanted justice.

    why he did not show up to the 2003 trial why???????????
    becuase he was not molested, all he cared about was the money like his family.
    as for the one who posted and claimed to be close to jordan, sorry but you can’t even right in english you probably never been to the us before so what the hell are you talking about.

    I feel sorry for Michael Jackson. When he was being accused as child molestor, all the main media put the spotlight on him, highlight him and publicly judged him as child molestor. But the main media don’t care to help Michael explain his innocent in this case. I was just like everybody,think that he is such a sicko,weirdo,a real child molestor until I google everything about him after he passed away. All this time, the main media really KILL his public image. The Chandler family and the lawyer that represent them ,destroy the innocent Michael Jackson in their own evil hand!!

    Uhm, Jordie probably did have sex with Michael, and then got pressured by his parents to fight for a 20$ million dollar pay out. For most people there are only two possibilities: EITHER Michael Jackson is a child molester who deserves to burn in hell and lose all his property. Or, Michael Jackson would never hurt a child, and all the accusations are false. But there is a THIRD possibility: Michael Jackson is a boylover, AND he would never willfully hurt a child, AND he has sex with boys who are willing, AND the world is completely hostile to this, THUS turning his young lovers into victims and enemies he has to fight in court, making him a target of public derision. Until we can appreciate this third possibility, the behavior and vision of Michael Jackson will remain incomprehensible. He was attracted to kids! But that doesn’t mean he was bad. Time will tell if the kids he loved will come forward to set the record straight.

      hey donkey boy, are you a paedophile to throw up option 3 and think it is ok?

  52. 2009 June 26

    Some of you may not believe Jesus is the son of god, but the Jewish and Islamic people except him as a prophet.

    Pilate saw now wrong doing what so ever in Christ. He washed his hands of it and couldn’t justify putting an innocent man to death. So he gave the choice to the people and they wanted him crucified.

    We all know the truth, these greedy little lying bastards and the media are the ones who finally got what they wanted, Michaels ultimate destruction.

    Now, I think the accusers should be turned over the public for their fate. Unlike Jesus, we will be crucifying guilty people.

    I hope those kids and their families die a slow painful and lonely death.

    R.I.P. Michael, I’ll miss you and always love you…

      You start off writing about Christ and then end your message saying you “hope those kids and their families die a slow painful and lonely death.” No matter what a person does (and yes what the Chandler family did was despicable) we are no one to judge or wish such terrible things upon them. I am a devote Christian woman that has a wonderfully close relationship to the Lord and I know they will reap what they sow, if not in this life for sure in the next. No one can hide from the Lord, He sees all and knows all! And if you can remember before Jesus took His last breath He said, “Forgive them Father for they do not know what they do.”
      Michael Jackson is finally at peace and that’s something we his fans should be happy about! :)

        I can understand what you are saying, but unfortunately anger is my cross to bare. I just don’t think he received any justice of any kind. It is hard for me not to hate the scumbags that took so much away from this world and people, he gave so much.

    Gosh how sad is this! All these years people were treating Michael Jackson like a pervert b/c of the alleged abuse w/ Jordan Chandler. His dad Evan is devoured in his love for money that he created all those lies to destroy Michael Jackson and now will even try to kill his own son for that money from the settlement. I think it’s so sad that people will believe anything and everything they read. I’m sorry but the media twists any little thing into something they know will keep people interested. And sadly no one cares to hear about the good things people do, they like the drama, the scandal. Michael Jackson opened his home to so many people and helped so many people only to be done wrong by so many. I’m happy that he is now in peace and away from this crappy place that we call earth!

    • 2009 June 26

      I agree with you 100%, I can’t stand the media. It’s all biased and based on ratings rather then truth. For years the news bashed him, but now with so much support Michael has, is the media going to continue to bash him? No, they are going to go with what people want to hear, and now they praise him. Nothing but hypocrites…

    After all is said and done, Michael Jackson was a truly beautiful man with an innocent and beautiful heart. He never grew up from being an 8 year old kid, and like a child he lived his life with nothing but love, sweetness and hope. There were many who tried to take that childlike beauty away from him, and I am happy he died before they could. I loved Michael, and like Jesus the world did not deserve him. May he have eternal peace.

      Don’t you think that’s taking it a bit too far HE WAS A CHILD. I adore Michael and I am absolutely devastated by the news but I would never like to call a young child a liar after disclosing something like that.

      The truth is we may never know and it’s unfair to judge that boy and the ‘other’ without hard evidence because lets face it, it happens, sadly, all the time.

      RIP MICHAEL xxxxxxxx

    Ok People, Michael had the best lawyers money could buy. They sited several cases including State V Hulburt , N.W., 1992 WL27770 ( Iowa 1992) and State V Swan ,114 WA 2nd 613, 790 p. 2nd ( wash, 1990) Dr. Undrewager stated that he does not fit the profile of a pedophile. That cost 30 million dolors. Justice is corrupt and the courts can be bought and sold with the right amont of money and power. God bless america !

    • 2009 June 27

      That doesn’t mean a damn thing having the best lawyer. You have been watching too many movies. The judge doesn’t make the verdict, the jury does. Bribing not as easy as you make it sound. In Los Angeles or any court you can have the best attorney, but if the evidence says that you did it beyond a reasonable doubt, they would have hung his ass. Hypothetically, lets say he bribed some jurors to vote in his favor and the judge didn’t agree, he could make them deliberate more or call a re trial. Besides, most people are stupid and can’t keep their mouths shut and it would have came to light by now.

      Michael was even checked by state psychs and their conclusion was that Michaels mentality regressed to that of a ten year old and he showed no signs what so ever of being a pedophile.

      Michael was a caring, generous and one of the most humane people in history and it’s a shame people pushed him deeper into depression that he couldn’t find his way out.

      As far as Jordan, he can rot in hell and so can his family

      Michael jackson will always be remembered for the love he tried to give the world and the beautiful, meaningful music her made…

      oj got off & mj got off if either of them didnt have the cash they had, they both would be in jail .. oj proved to the world with the cash u can get away with murder ,,,,,, so did micheal get away with it with all his cash??? we may never know ! lets hope the kids come out to tell the truth one way or the other …..its hard to believe he did’nt with the way he feels about kids and that the fact he sleeps with them and makes it public …. he has never denied sleeping with kids …. and why would he do so?? and for what reason ??? he could of slept with any man /women in the world .. but he chooses to sleep with kids ??? as for him being a child himself come on people he grew up with no childhood in his life (his own words to effect ) so that mean he was a young adult then and a fully grown one before his death ….. and what adult sleeps with kids not there own !???? i do believe the media dont help in proving or disproving the sexual abuse .but the fact is the world is driven by money and money was never an issue for mj so he bought all the parents presents and kids presents worth over more than most earn in a year why???? who does this ?and for what reason ??? just meeting the person would a big deal for these people but he feels he needs to buy them stuff why?? u ask the wrong questions .. u can buy a court and u can buy silence … did he do this ?? what has it cost a man who wants to sleep with kids abuse or not …. messed up he was… and messed up people do fucked up things ….. you will never know what happened anytime soon if any … in my mind he is guilty an adult knows and an adult he was does not want to sleep with kids and that it is wrong in the eyes of other and god ! so why does he choose to sleep with them ?? and make special friends with kids ?? u should ask yourself did he bring this on himself ??? he knew what he was doing and that sleeping with kids would at some point end in up people asking questions and people saying stuff weather it true or not … i would never put myself in a position which he put himself in .. and nor would most . he chose to sleep with them !he must of got something out of it !! other wise he would’nt do it you dont do something for no reason!! and i cant think of any reason why you would want to sleep with kids that are not you own and even if they were his own at the ages of 10 11 12 13 , you would want your kids to sleep in there own bed … i dont know of any1 that will say they want there 11 year old child sleeping with them!! they may come in during the night frightened, scared, and you let them stay and this is for a reason but the next night there in there own bed again ..

      as for the jury in the court they are chosen by the lawyers their life’s reviewed and are selected by the lawyers ..lawyers can also get evidence thrown out and not admitted and can also stop the public from ever finding out..they are very clever at throwing you off course and also lead you to where they want you to go…so yes the best lawyer in the world do help if you think they dont your a fool they dont get people off of shit for no reason they earn there money !!! and they done a good job in mj case as you still cant see all that went on in the trial …. as many court filings, search warrants, and other usually public documents–remain under seal, cloaking many case details. so yes lawyer do matter and play a big big part in every court case ……..

      20 mill is a lot of money .. not saying that a child torment is worth 20 mill but many parents would take the money knowing that prison would be too good for any1 that does do shit to kids they get fed, housed ,taught, visits, payed work , fuck in some countries even holidays visitation right is this really punishment .. with 20mill you can make sure the kids forgets and has never has to worry or go through anything like that again you can , change there name, the country they live in , it can change there whole life and start a new and different life … im not saying i would take the money nor would i like them to rest in prison for the rest off there days.. i would rather you let me kill them and ill spend the rest of my life in jail … but then again if i was mj and didnt do it, i would not of paid up either … insurance included as they got it from them i still would not of let them payout if i was innocent ……i would fight so they didnt get a penny !!! …

        Let’s get one thing clear. Michael had held sleepovers at his house. But the way you’re describing it, he would “sleep” with kids as a a man and woman in love would sleep in the same bed, and that he was admitting to that? NO, he had sleepovers where he would be in the same room as the kids, but he would sleep in a separate bed, or on the floor, and the kids would sleep in another bed. Haven’t you ever heard of slumber parties? That’s all he’s guilty of. I am a preschool teacher myself, and I enjoy the company of children. Once a year we have a slumber party at school for the biggest children, where a few teachers and a bunch of children sleep in the same room area – Parents are also invited to stay if they wish. At these parties we play fun games, we play hide and seek, sing songs, read bedtime stories – There’s an exchange of hugs between teachers and children before they actually go to sleep. There’s nothing wrong with any of this behavior, and I believe these are the kind of activities that were going on at Michael’s sleepovers. And anyone who automatically reads sexual intentions into this behavior, must be some kind of a pervo himself.
        MJ probably would have been a great and fun kindergarten teacher if he wasn’t a multitalented superstar.

        Ι know in some cases he would actually share a bed with his closest friends, like for example Macaully Culkin – but even he had said that there was never ever anything sexual about that or even an implication of sexual behavior. They would just sleep, side by side, like any 2 friends sharing a bed in a hotel room – no touching or anything like that. Generally though he would not share a bed with the majority of visiting sleepover-guests, and many times he wouldn’t even be in the room while the kids were sleeping there.

        Because of the misunderstandings and worries that it can cause, I don’t think it’s entirely appropriate for an adult to share a bed with a child friend. Not because it implies any pedophilic behaviour, but because of the way it might be misinterpreted. As an early childhood educator (preschool teacher), I’ve also had some babysitting jobs in the evenings, where at times I had to lay in the same bed as the child to comfort her/him for one reason or another, fx. the child could be anxious and stressed because mom and dad were not present, and may have had a hard time sleeping, and it had occurred that the child would ask me to lay with them for a while and for example read a story together. That’s a natural request from a child that feels comfortable with the person they’re with. Of course, we have to be careful as adult caregivers or friends to young children who are not closely related to us, because these situations can be misinterpreted, especially when the adult is a man.

        If MJ was a normal-looking non-eccentric woman sharing a bed with the children she’s looking after or spending quality time with, I don’t think it would be frowned upon to such a degree or considered “sick”, like some judge MJ’s behaviour to be. I see MJ as a nurturing mother/father figure. He was strange-looking, eccentric and a bit wierd like any uniquely talented person usually is, but if you look beyond all that, he was just a nurturing parent figure with a childlike heart, but an adult mind, just wanting to give all the love, compassion and childlike joy that he had in his heart.

    For every pathetic person who believes Michael is a pedophile there are 100 people who know the truth. Jordan Chandler and his family are the reason he is dead. He was so kind and loving, he forgave his own sister LaToya after she lied saying that she had evidence to prove he was guilty. And still after his death, people will not let him rest in peace, i hope Jordan goes through what he did one day, karma is a bitch and he will get whats coming to him.

    The events of the case speak for themselves – Mr Chandler used his Son to take advantage of Michael Jacksons fame and wealth; it was only ever about money. Selfish, cruel B*st*rd.

      Well said. They wanted money, not justice.

      If the news about Chandler confessing he made it all up are true, what a bitter sweet feeling. Couldn’t the little coward come out and talk about it earlier?

      All of us who loved Michale Jackson, his music, and his legacy endured long conversations trying to put things in perspective and give him the benefit of the doubt. I hope this is it. Too fucking late, though.

      this is a civil suit.
      what the chandlers did was take the quick route and saved their son the humiliation and pain of having to give testimony at court.

      • 2009 July 26

        I can understand your point. But let’s not forget that by not going to court, the Chandlers allowed someone they believed to be sexually abusing kids to remain free to continue the abuse. If their allegations were true they knowingly let a child abuser off the hook for money. If their allegations were false, they ruined a man’s life and caused untold trauma to their own son for money. Either way the Chandlers seemed to be more interested in money than doing the right thing.

    I entered the trial of Michael Jackson without much knowledge of the evidence. I couldn’t say for sure whether or not he did it. Having watched the trial on TV it is without doubt that he was innocent. The accusing family were appalling witnesses, and the panel of lawyers commentating on it all agreed. The mother was the least credible witness I’ve ever seen, and after the trial the members of the jury said as much. In order to be able to accuse Michael after the Arvizo family defended him shortly after the Bashir documentary the mother had to invent an absurd story about being kidnapped and being forced to defend him. Gavin explained away his telling a guidance counsellor that he wasn’t abused by saying it was because kids were making fun of him. This doesn’t ring true. The guidance counsellor wasn’t going to make a public announcement that there was no abuse! Gavin and his mother were forced to admit to lying under oath in a previous trial. I have to suspect that anyone who believes Michael was guilty simply didn’t follow the trial and is poorly acquainted with the facts. Michael was exonerated because of lack of evidence. Michael wasn’t even charged in 1993 because two grand juries couldn’t find enough evidence. Nor could they find another boy who claimed abuse.

    I was so angry after Michael Jackson died. I blamed the freaken media and the freaken liars who ruined and destroyed his name. I googled and read everything I could about the damn court cases against him. I read the transcript of the testimony of that cancer patient. That damn kid should have died from his cancer!!!! But MJ was so kind and gave him so much that he was so happy, it affected him spiritually and thus, physically. Allowing him to live. Now he went back and repaid MJ by accusing him of lies! His testimony is so damn ludicrous! Plealse so read it!

    http://www.thesmokinggun.com/michaeljackson/021505mjgrandjury.html

    That kid’s testimony was so weak, scattered, was never sure of himself, and sounded like the liar he really was! There were over 100 pages of testimony, and the ony thing he could say was that MJ molested him 2 times and then with more questioning from the attorney, he changed it to 5 times and then he said he didn’t touch MJ in the private part, and then he said he but but that he pulled his hands away. Yeah, well, you have a hard time covering your tracks when you start to lie. You can tell where he lies because he doesn’t sound sure of himself and he stutters and is always saying “I think…” and never sounding sure at ALL!!

    One lady from MJ’s estate testified that these kids were rude and roamed wrecklessly around Neverland. She even said MJ was getting a little bit frustrated with it. These kids did not appreciate what MJ did for them, opening his heart and home to them so that they can enjoy what their dirt-poor family couldn’t afford. He was so giving and kind and they slept in MJ’s room and he was almost never there. The boy even said that most of the time they were at Neverland, when they slept in MJ’s room, he wasn’t there. I think that they were rude kids like the lady said and they roamed the estate freely because MJ wasn’t there most of the time. They went to his room and did what they wanted. The slept there, he wasn’t even there. The boy kept changing the story on this because he says MJ slept with him only a few times, most of the time his brother and him slept in MJ’s room and MJ wasn’t there. Then he went back and changed the story that, oh yeah, MJ slept with him….etc and etc. Please go read the transcript. You will see what a liar the kid is!

    I think these kids roamed Neverland freely, were sneaking around because MJ wasn’t there….snuck alcohol from MJ’s cellar, snuck into MJ’s bathroom and saw his suitcase (with pornography–normal for a man to have…there was no child pornography at all….not one! The magazines were mostly of girls). They knew where the suitcase was…I believe they snuck into it. MJ never showed it to them. The boy also says his brother typed in the urls for the porno sites that they saw. Michael never typed in anything. He knew exactly what sites they went to. This tells me that he and his brother did this on their own and the story of including MJ came later when they wanted to get MJ for his money. Yet, the damn media says MJ typed in the urls. Damn liars!
    I read the whole 100+ pages and got nothing concrete from it. My conclusion is that the cancer patient kid lied and should have died! MJ was too kind and never knew how evil this family was!!!! His kindness was repaid with the evils of this family that has led MJ to his death. I am so angry!

    The LA DA wanted to get MJ so bad, but lacked evidence to take either case to trial. That was the only reason why the cases did not go to trial.

    I used to appreciate the media in distributing real news and what is truth. Now, after reading the testinomies….I hate the media! I will never respect the media again for their evil lies and greed! If we are too stupid that we let the media dictate truth and we cannot even get off our lazy ass to question the media’s truth….with our own research and getting ourselves informed…..we are a pathetic society that has been brainwashed by what is becoming a very powerful and bias media!

    Please be angry like me….read about the cases, testimonies….never ever ever ever let anything like this happen again! We killed a pure heart with our indifference to truth and our ignorance…..Please demand truth and justice….not hearsay and do not believe one is guilty until proven guilty! Do not witch hunt, do not condemn someone for their differences, do not be blind to the truth. I believe these kids wanted to sleep with Michael because he’s so fun and after doing so with the kids, Michael didn’t see it as being unusual anymore because he saw the kids and treated them as his own. I’m a teacher and I love my students and want what is best for them and their future. Many come from broken homes. If I were ever to develop a close relationship with these children as a group….or as individuals, if they wanted to sleep with me….I can see where MJ had a hard time saying NO. I would not because I know how to deal with kids….Kids can truly be bratty and demanding and make you feel bad if you say NO. But if you do not have the experience of having dealt with kids, you do not know how to say NO and they don’t give up until you say YES. So I can see how MJ would have a hard time to say NO..to the kids and to their families….that’s how they got all the gifts.

    MJ is a like a kid himself….after the kids wanted to sleep in his bed several times….it became normal to him. The cancer patient even said MJ slept on the floor…..well, if MJ slept on the floor….I believe MJ saw it as a sleepover and didn’t distinguish whether or not these kids were blood relatives or not. I can see where some of the kids at school just want to hug me all the time….and I have to keep my distance because I am afraid of being accused of exactly what MJ was accusesd of. But I am very normal….not a childlike adult. MJ didn’t know how to say NO. That was his biggest flaw…to be kind and to be unable to say NO to children whom he loved so much. I could never love children like MJ…..I will spank my kids if they are bad, MJ probably would never do that.

    Please be angry!

      the reason why the kid could not remember was cause he was pissed !!!!!!!!!!!! most of the time he was there..the cellar was locked with a key and the kids did not have the key . so how did they get access !!?? you read the transcript with mj being innocent in your mind and you read what u wanted to read out of it.. a 12 old boy in a court of law will stutter and shift about and cant make clear whats what especially if they have been drinking at theses times he is trying to remember like you i have read the transcript but u say nothing about what mj called the boys and that boys only got names not girls .. how about the fact that both boys told the court that it was mj asking the kids to ask the parents for them to stay with mj in his bed both saythis . and both say that they were showed porn on the pc by mj and frank on the first night .. you left a lot out and read what you wanted to read ……. you forgot that more that 1 flight attendants stated that wine is to be put in coke cans … and that the kid was drinking on the plane with a coke can and that it was the attendant that says mj was licking the boys head not the boy saying as he had no idea that it had happened !!!! why cause he was pissed !!! why is a 11 year old drinking in presence of mj ????

        I did read the whole transcript. The boy was not credible anymore so I didn’t care about what else he had to say. His story kept changing and he couldn’t remember what they had told him to say..what the lies were supposed to be. At 10 years old, I remember precisely events that have happened to me…..I was not sexually abused…..just physically hit at times and I remember….so you see, something that tramatizes you….You do not forget.

        The cancer kid lied. Yes, he said Michael had pet names for the boys…uh, there were only two. Doo doo head and one more–I forgot what it was. I truly believe these boys were wild and mischievious and if anything happened that was not supposed to–such as drinking, surfing the internet, and looking at porn…it was them who was doing things they were not supposed to do, not MJ. It is ridiculous that you would show a kid these things on a first meeting and with the parents there with them too. IF this kid was really given alchohol by Michael….really? he would be OUT! hangovers and puking….He never said anything about that……cuz he doesnt know what it’s like to have a hangover–it was all a lie.

        No…I’m sorry….my child is 9 years old and my child only talks like that kid in the transcript when my child is lying. He stutters and the “I thinks…” come in when the lies are being formed. When he is telling the truth, he is adamant and does not stutter and is very sure of his story. Every single page in the transcript was filled with such inconquencies.

        Also, neither Michael nor his defense attorney were allowed to be present….and no one at all was allowed to ask/question the witnesses to rebut what they had said. So with that being the case, the testimonials were so weak!

        This was why the case did not go to trial…not enough evidence. They sued in civil court…not criminal….and no one stopped them from taking this to trial….except the lack of evidence–in both court cases.

        As I said, my son is only 9 years old and he can be taught to fabricate very complex stories and lies…..and there’s not millions at stake. Please put yourself in Michael’s shoes…..and imagine being charged with such accusations and you’re innocent…..

    I forgot to add that I have taught 1st grade and 2nd grade. It is not true when the experts tell you that children do not lie. In my 9 years of teaching, children lie all the time. They especially lie more when they think they might get into trouble. They lie when they get in trouble in class and they go home and tell their parents a different story. They come back to class and tell me a different story. I have to call home or their parents call me, angry because they believed their child. Sometimes I even try to explain to parents and most times, they always side with the child even when the child straightout lied! For instance, kids go home and tell their parents that they got in trouble for no reason. I tell the parents that your child got in trouble because they hit another kid, or were messing around in class. They still think I’m lying. Some even go as far as calling the principal to discuss it because they believe their child (who in the end turned out to be lying….and admitted to it).

    If 1st and 2nd graders can lie so convincingly on their own, I cannot imagine what kinds of lies 10-13 year olds can come up with when assisted by their parents and the DA.

    Please never believe something as truth until it can be proven…don’t accuse someone when all you have is the word of a child against them. There were mannequins of children (probably to match the theme of Neverland) but not much was ever said about them because they probably weren’t able to provide evidence that MJ was a pedophile. There was never any child pornography to be found….only painkiller drugs, a black suitcase with Playboy, etc….pictures of girls….at least MJ was normal and looked at girls….unlike what some of you sickos think.

    MJ was a very private person and shy about sex. I cannot imagine him being able to bring this upon a child. Especially a child that cannot tell a straight story and changes his answers here and there and cannot even be sure of what he is saying at all.

    Please know that children do lie and never ever let this happen to a living soul again. MJ was an angel sent from Heaven to teach us about love, peace, and saving our world from the destructions of our own hands. We didn’t embrace that, we spit in his face, stoned him, and brought him to his death. We should be so ashamed that his name will forever overshadow us as we continue to live on while he is dead because of our humaneless heart!

      this means heather that u read a little and made up your mind and forgot about the rest because u did not care ,,,,,,he was confussed of times but that was only cause the type of questioning from the lawyer that keep saying during the time of and restating the time before and after events .. if i ask u a question like the time before this and after this what happened between them dates your mind is going to think of all 3 time periods and then u have to make an answer with all 3 of them time periods in your head as an adult it is easy but as a child not so easy your mind is not focused u did not care what the boy had to say.. yes you have a child and he stutters when he lies …. but put him in a court room and swear him in and all that then tell me your child would not be scared up there on a stand with no parents to help and a strange man asking him questions going over things and changing the way he asks the question tell me your child wont be scared and confussed ..i know grown men who have been scared and confussed on the stand thats grown men …. so tell me a child wont be scared and confussed especially when he has all that attention and a circus around him ,yes a child even a man would be scared ,,,,,,,,,you should read some more transcripts as see if grown men /woman dont stutter on the stand or even get confussed thats the lawyers job to make u confussed and make u look like a poor witness … a rape victim on a stand is a poor witness as they dont remember every deatil or times and places after they have been intoxicated .. they move about stutter and even change events …

      and u have a good memory of your childhood but was u pissed in this childhood .. i get pissed now and forget some bits of what happened on them night this is normal for people who drink …… and yes the kids did say at times that he felt funny and was acting funny and did feel a bit sick and yes passed out..as he does not know half the time what time of day it was … as he was licked on the head when he was out cold !!! words of a stewardess !!! and grown woman …

      you forgot the fact that most of the evidence is still under seal like the notes to each other and all kinds of evidence. that mj lawyers have kept from being made public if they wanted to really prove his innocents to the world surly they would let the public see all to make up there own minds … how about the fact that mj wanted the kids to call him daddy ,,there is alot of evidence we know nothing about and just to disregard a transcript cause of stutter and confusion is very poor for you to do so …

      so yes mj lawyer did a very good job to this effect in both cases keeping stuff out of court and stuff not to be made public after all that is there job to do this

      there is a lot of my childhood i dont remember till to this day i can look at photos of me and say i dont remember that i was never abused just hit like you but i still have childhood memories and also some i dont remember or there are bits thats float but dont really make sense to me … as a child i was never pissed or anything like that but still have black spots in my childhood … times dates ect ect

    Michael is innocent, if he was in fact guilty, and this boy was telling the truth, wouldn’t he want Michael in jail to pay for what he did, basically the family said give me 22 Million and we will forget it all.

    I forgot to add that children will lie for their parents! I know this because my child will lie when I tell him to. Children love their parents so much, even after they have been hit black and blue by their parents. They have an innate tendency to want to please their parents and they will do anything for their parents, especially at ages 8-14 because they want so much to be loved. They will trade anything for their parents love. Unfortunately, MJ met these dog families who are worse than crap who did this to him. If my child will lie for me for the reason so that he can get a small reward, I cannot imagine what he wouldn’t do if I was going to beat him or if I promise him Neverland. I know I can get him to make up these kinds of stories as these evil kids did about MJ. Most of us, as parents, can get our children to make up stories like this…..all we have to do is threaten to spank them or to give them a really big reward. The difference is that I would never ever ever ever do this to my child or taint another person’s name like what these assholes did to MJ…because I have morals and would never kill a good man’s name like that. Now, if you say that MJ is guilty….please get to know my son, and I will guarantee you that you will be wiped of your good name when you wake up one day to find that I have filed charges against you on accounts of child molestation and being a pedophile. How will you defend your name because all you did was befriend my child and now he is accusing you of molesting him?

    This example was just to prove my point, I would never ever do that to my child. But I know that my son would give up his life to save me…as I would do for him. I protect him with my life and would never ever allow anyone to go free if he molested my child.

    I know both families were struggling financially and wanted money….both fathers were losers and their child’s fear of them allowed them to overpower the children…and thus, the accusations as we know it.

    Please wake up world…..children will lie for their parents….greed stricten losers will do anything to get your money. People have killed for hundreds of thousands and even just thousands of dollars…why wouldn’t these losers lie to get millions?

    I love you Michael Jackson….I am so sorry that I couldn’t free you…but God came in and freed you from it all. God will unite you with Himself and He will grant you a happier life here on Earth in another lifetime. You will be reincarnated again I pray and your talent will be reborn with you. Please Lord…..allow this to happen!

    The media should stop leaning on these excuses about MJ being a pedophile just to get people to read more of their stupid stories.
    You don’t have to see evidence in order to know that if anything really happened to Jordan Chandler, was the only direct consequence of the father’s negligence by pretending he was abused, I am sure that Evan Chandler was obsessed with MJ and in his dirty little mind he planned all this just show to get away with it and to get him to pay then those mm of $$
    I hope that Jordan Chandler speaks up and tells what really happened. Jordan, many people would appreciate your sincerity–

    Michael I am SURE and I KNOW in my heart that you are in a better place and resting in heaven and peace as it was your deepest wish.

    Perhaps MJ did not take advantage of children sexually but I believe he did take advantage of their friendship in other ways. I think it is definately inappropriate for an unrelated adult to share a bed with a child. I think it is incredibly naive to say he had the mental age of a child. In many ways, yes, there are similarities. He was shy and somewhat clueless – take his relationship with money as an example – but he was an adult, he was adult enough to raise 3 children without any intervention from authorities. Do you think this would have been permitted if the opposite was true? He was an adult with adult responsibilities and he should have known that some of his behaviour was not appropriate so in some ways I think he was a bit devious. I don’t believe his intentions were to hurt anyone but he did act selfishly.

      “I think it is definately inappropriate for an unrelated adult to share a bed with a child.”

      May I ask why it’s ok for a related adult to sleep with his/her child but it is not ok for an unrelated adult to do so? I’m interested in understanding what makes one scenario socially acceptable and the other not so.

      If the reason behind allowing a child to sleep in your bed is innocent, why would it matter whether the child was related to you or not? Is it really about the fact of a child sleeping in bed with an adult or is about the perception?

      I think herein lies the heart of the “innocence or child-like mind of MJ” argument. He simply didn’t see it as wrong to have a child sleep, play games, read books, goof off, tell jokes, etc. in his bedroom or bed. It was society’s perception that it was wrong and he really didn’t care much about society’s perception concerning anything other than his music.

      the fact is that child molesters have a very bad time in gaol. a large portion of the public did turn away from jackson after the jordon chandler episode. i therefore doubt that jackson would have received special treatment in gaol.
      whether jackson and chandler were “in love” might not have been an issue if chandler was older. since the photo is of jordan with a male friend makes me wonder if jordan is gay. sorry to tell you “jordan’s baby momma”! gay men will tell you they felt attracted to their own sex very early on. mabye michael was also gay. he never really took to girls like aparently his brothers did, in spite of being brought up in the same religious family. If Joe thought it OK to hit his kids for singing a note wrong can you imagine how he would have reacted to a son breaking god’s commandment. I think Michael was a deeply conflicted man. As much as people may think that gays are accepted, revealing homosexuality can ruin a career or at best hamper it.
      Lisa Marie said they had a normal marriage. I wonder then what is the story about her refusing him kids by him. She seems to like having kids and the family structure to her life. Is Debbie Rowe telling the truth about her kids coming via a sperm donor? You have to wonder about her mindset. Those kids have just lost their father twice in one week! I don’t think the public nor the kids needed to know that information.

I do not believe that Michael was ever a child molestor he just liked being around children since he didn’t have a normal childhood. They were just after his money because when your child is molested you want that person in jail you don’t just forget about the whole thing with a money settlement. I hate stupid ppl that believe anything they read, it is obvious that Michael didn’t molest this idiot Jordan this retard just lied because he wanted easy money like a parasite that he still is. I hate him and I want to beat Jordan’s bitchass up. Jordan’s good for nothing dad should’ve hit him with the dumbell in his crotch so he would have said that he was actually molested lol. Michael was and is still innocent it’s just sad that everyone doubted him by believing some false accusations made by these lowlives.

    How do you degrade the character of an innocent human being. Lets look at Michael for a second. This is a man, who from the very moment that his father recognized his talent, at the age of 5, has been beaten (literally) to make good music. This is a man who from day one has been depended on by 8/9 other siblings (most of which were older then him) to put food on the table. This is a man who spent his entire childhood in the public eye, his every move being watched and judged, every show and song depended on, every opportunity to have so much as a friend or a trip to the playground or a normal class trip taken from him. This is a man who was forced to grow up and be serious and work before he even reached the age of childhood. A man who under strick religious upbringing was never allowed to date. A man who’s fathers wrath and that very religious upbringing, along with having his brothers damn him to silence as they had sex with random groupies in the bed that he was sleeping in is probaly the reason that he was so detached from the normal sexuality that human beings experienced. Failed marriages that most likely have a lot to do with the fact that this man was never allowed to be socialized. Accusation of child molestation on a man that through is entire life has done nothing but tried to find a way to fit the time to be that boy he never got to be into all the other craziness of his world. 40+ years of serious, dedicated work guided by the belt and the voice of a father that he probably fears more than he could find the heart to love. A man who never found comfort at home and had to run to Diana Ross to find that acceptance and the peace and understanding of a family. This man was doomed for psychological issues from day one. Look at everything he’s been through to be who he is “the icon” and “the superstar”. Those titles that left him with nothing but a fortune and confusion. And then here come these ignorant assholes too lazy to put in the hardwork it takes to make something of themselves and put food on their own tables destroying his career. Here come these assholes vividly describing a lie that took away 20 million dollars worth of hardwork, dedication, top records, and hit songs to a man very deserving of all his gains. A lie that caused stress and character assasinations that probably contributed to this mans death. And it took his death for Mr. CHandler to decide that the right thing to do was to come forth with the truth. How dare we feel like we have the right to treat people like shit? How dare we love him for his music, abandon him for this drama, and then feel like we can fall right back into our places as his fans when the dust settles and all comes to light? In what crazy mindset is any of this right? RIP Michael Jackson, your legend will live on, the humanitarian in you will continue to touch lives, your talent will continue to influence, and NOW (FINALLY) THE BOY IN YOU CAN FLY.

    It is heartbreaking to know the suffering Michael Jackson endured. The suffering goes beyond the allegations of child molestation. It goes back to little Michael who was a sensitive child raised by a monster. I don’t care how anyone else tries to paint it, but look at the picture. Katherine Jackson is so timid and her esteem is so low she can barely hold her head up (and I’m talking before this tragedy). The oldest child (Rebie) left home a teenager and never looked back. Michael, an unbelievable talent was alienated from his siblings because he received too much praise. They hated him for it. If they were close he would have never been so separated from them in his early 20’s. Everything Michael did in his career was for praise and acceptance. He needed the love of adoring fans because he did’t get it from his family. He did get it from Janet. He abused himself in adulthood because abuse is what he knew. He carried the abuse over from his childhood. He never learned to love himself unconditionally.

    I hope Janet is the one who will raise his children.

    ok, Michael actually lived with Jordan and his mother. He took Jordan everywhere, EVERYWHERE… They held hands, they hugged and kissed in public. Jordan didn’t want to charge Micheal because he LOVED him, They were in love with each other. Micheal bought Jordan and his mother lots of clothing and groceries and bling. Micheal at the time even called Jordan his boyfriend. Evan Chandler wanted to make money off it. He made Jordan say he was sexually molested. Although yes they have had sex but it was willing between Micheal and Jordan.

    Jordan told the police that masturbated together, acts of hugging and kissing. Jordan also told police descriptions of Micheal Jacksons penis, which turned out very accurate.

    either way Micheal is a creep, Micheal and Jordan were a couple in love. That is wrong…

    I feel sorry for Micheal’s passing but I do believe Micheal got off too easy. He was a sick man, he should have been locked behind bars.

    it’s not the people that killed Micheal… It was Micheals actions that killed Micheal…
    if you are innocent you fight for it and prove it. You don’t pay them off with money to be quiet about it… And you don’t start popping pills.

    Micheal even told Lisa Marie Presley that he was going to go out the way Elvis did…

    One more thing, There is no evidence stating that Jordan admitted he lied about Micheal Jackson… If there is there was nothing on TV and there was no real report coming from Jordan Chandler. People are in grieving stages about Micheals death and will believe or want to believe in anything that someone makes up, like the article you made here. Jordan never admitted anything either than he loved Micheal and that they played with eachothers body parts…

Besides if there was ANY evidence don’t you think the prosecution would have taken him to court? Why would a father sue for money instead of trying to make sure he pays in prison. He said he had evidence. Well where is this evidence? He is a con man. But at the end of the day he was found INNOCENT. You can say all you want but no dice.

      Jordan and Michael were very happy together and his mother was ok with their relationship. They lived together. Evan (not Jordans biological father) wasn’t happy. Evan didn’t care about Jordan either. Evan made Jordan go though with it, Jordan didn’t want to because Michael and Jordan love each other.

    I do believe that some very sick people took advantage of Michael for his money. We all know MJ just wanted to be loved and to help so many people. However, with this great desire came a dangerous level of trust in people with no good intentions.

    It’s one thing to want money, but they wanted to destroy him for no reason. The tape is very clear on this point.

    MJ might have died from a heart attack, but his heart has been broken a long time ago.

    Please read the article “Was Michael Jackson Framed?” by Mary A. Fisher, in GQ magazine 1994, now in web at:

    When MJ died, the author Victor Gutierrez, chilean, was in Chile at the time…
    he went on local tv bragging about his so called “book”, the only thing hes ever written, and the hatred as he talked about mj was overwhelming… he compared him to one of the biggest monsters in chilean history, pedophile Paul Schaeffer, and he couldnt understand how people were grieving him…
    He never had an interview with Jackson, and he was (quote)” relieved because now I dont have to pay for the lawsuit he WON against me, money which I dont have, and if I did have, I wouldve never payed “…the he moved on to showing “exclusive footage” on Neverland, scenes taken from Bashier´s documentary…

    I hope he has to pay it anways…

    in my humble opinion, 3 things:

    - Jackson thought he was a child, but he was not… besides, no court found him unfit to raise his children, anyways… this was never an issue. Wouldnt a mentally ill person be separated for the sake of those three kids?

    - Victor Gutierrez´s book is a bunch of bs, and

    - No parent in his right mind would accept money for damaging his childs life forever, however, due to this restraining order surfacing, these were not parents in their right mind

    The musical, fashion and dancing icon MJ was, is not up for debate

      The book is not B.S. Michael Jackson was a child molester, and a pretty classic example of one.

      It is funny that people use “evidence” like the taped phone conversation of Evan Chandler to say he was extorting money. You need to read the whole thing in context to understand what it is about.

      • 2009 July 26

        What part of the whole taped conversation between Evan Chandler and David Swartz (sp) points to something other than Chandler wanting Michael to be ruined? I’ve read the transcripts and can’t find anything. Can you point me in the right direction.

    You people who think Michael Jackson is a child molesting, are the type of paranoid (perhaps from smoking too much dope), about EVERYTHING! That Chandler family know Hells Angels and drug dealers. They mix with dubious people. They aren’t normal. Most people are content with work and family. They always want more. Evan Chandler will not cooperate and become an actual good dentist. He wants to do sloppy work and get paid tonnes. In the dental industry, you cannot be sloppy or lazy. In the extortion business, all you have to be is mean and greedy!

      It is laughable that you would call the Chandler family “not normal” in order to impugn their character. The hypocrisy is mind blowing.

    Money is the biggest corrupter of all. Why do kids in South East Asia get sold to be sex slaves by their OWN families? Because desperate people will do desperate things when the $$ come out. This is the sad reality people. I commend all of you who say no amount of money would ‘hush’ you up if your child was abused. But this is just not the case for all people.

    I watched a fascinating doco by the BBC last night. It was balanced and described MJ the superstar and then thoroughly looked at the child abuse allegations, what happened in court, what happened with various $$ settlements.

    Jordie’s parents allowed MJ to move into their house for a month and sleep in his room. MJ then took Jordie and his mother and sister I think overseas – for what Jordie and MJ described as their ‘honeymoon’. MJ gave the mother and sister a credit card and they went off travelling and shopping, leaving Jordie in Michael’s suite alone. Great parenting, huh, but as said, the $$ did the talking.

    The thing that scared me was footage of MJ sitting next to Prince Albert at the world music awards. MJ was rocking in a highly sexualised way with this child on his lap. It was not normal in anyway.

    After the trip Jordie was able to describe MJ’s private parts. Not normal. Police also found a series of alarms throughout Neverland that led to MJ’s bedroom. So MJ would know when anyone was coming to his bedroom. Alarms are fine, but why that room?

    Money talks, people. I am sick of people making excuses for this person who clearly had an unhealthy interest in children. Heaps of people who are child stars do not behave this way. Heaps of people who are abused as children do then not go on to behave this way.

    The courts are flawed because in many jurisdictions, if the victim is not willing to press formal charges they get dropped. And people can ’settle’ out of court for money, which happened in this case. If MJ was innocent, why pay 20 mill to the family. And, for many parents, having their child testify in front of the world’s media and relive the abuse would also be a victim. Ask any rape victim why they don’t go to trial.

    Laytoya Jackson also came out during the allegations and said she had seen various cheques (yes plural) written for stupid amounts of money being paid to families were abuse allegations were raised. Go figure.

    This guy was not some misunderstood ‘childlike’ innocent. People got abused and people got paid.

      Thank you for some sanity. Amen.

      “for what Jordie and MJ described as their ‘honeymoon’.”

      Where did the information about a honeymoon come from? Who said this? Did the documentary show MJ saying this?

      “The thing that scared me was footage of MJ sitting next to Prince Albert at the world music awards.”

      I watched this as well. I thought it odd that Jordy nor his sister had their own seat. The sister sat in the mother’s lap and Jordy sat on the edge of the seat between Michael’s legs. (Literally speaking, he wasn’t in Michael’s lap) There were a couple of times where the mother had left and Jordy took her seat and the sister was sitting in Michael’s lap…not between his legs but physically on his lap. Honestly, during these parts I thought it looked like a daddy with his kid in his lap. Interesting that the mother isn’t accused of child abuse for having her daughter sit in her lap while she moved to the music.

      There was some movement going on when Jordy was sitting with Michael but I thought it was more along the lines ‘chair dancing’ since they were at a concert. Both Jordy and Michael were singing along with a Boys to Men song.

      It really surprised me to later learn that it was during this very trip that Jordy later claimed the abuse started. Jordy seemed to be enjoying himself and smiling and moving to the music as well. I am a child sexual abuse survivor and, for me, it would have been very difficult to appear happy in that circumstance. I’m not saying everyone handles this kind of abuse the same way. Just that I know I couldn’t have sat between the legs of my abuser and looked convincingly like I was having a good time.

      “Alarms are fine, but why that room?”

      I would think it was so noone came in his suite uninvited regardless of who was in there with him. It doesn’t seem far fetched to me. The room had an upstairs and he wouldn’t have seen someone enter his room so he would need to be alerted by sound. This is a bit of speculation on my part since I don’t know if one could hear the door open when in the upstairs area. And if just wanted to keep people out so they wouldn’t interrupt him while he molested children, he could have just locked the door. From video I’ve seen it looks like one had to have a keypad combination to enter.

      “After the trip Jordie was able to describe MJ’s private parts. ”

      It’s been reported that there were similarities but not enough to be definative. Remember that Michael had just told Oprah in Jan of the same year that he had vitiligo which causes blotches on the skin. I’m thinking it would have been safe to say that Michael had splotches on his penis as well. If I remember correctly this was the basis of the “similarities” statement. Also it was claimed, if reports are to be believed, that Jordy said Michael was circumsized. He wasn’t…again according to reports.

      “I am sick of people making excuses for this person who clearly had an unhealthy interest in children.

      Pretend that Michael didn’t actually sexually molest a kid….because, really it wasn’t ever proven. Which part of his interest in children was unhealthy? And was it unhealthy for the kid or was it because society would have viewed it as unhealthy?

      “Heaps of people who are child stars do not behave this way.”

      For me, this statement is very subjective. Wouldn’t you have to be able to compare the specifics of one child star’s upbringing with that of another in order to make this statement. Don’t forget that people, even child stars, are individuals with their own personalities. For instance an introverted person will react differently than an extroverted person. One must take into account an individual’s life experience before placing them on a baseline for analysis and comparison. Are there any other child stars with Michael’s particular background including his early adulthood? Is there another who was “in star training” from the age of 5, a bona fide star around 12, a superstar during his 20’s and was, arguably, the biggest star on the planet in his early 30’s. His stardom started at a very early and age and continued to grow…..IMHO this is where he differs from most other child stars. Also his particular personality must be taken into account.

      BTW, I chose your statement to reply to in depth because it was articulate without being nasty. I can understand your points and can even understand how you arrived at your conculsions. I haven’t seen many interactions between opposing views of the Michael Jackson controversy that didnt’ end up with a battle between “I Love Michael” and “Michael is a pedo” type statements. So thanks for your post.
