I'm all for another label. If he didn't have a childhood neither did his other umpteen siblings. He had his eccentricities like a zillion other people. Now whether he was messing with kids I need more proof. Time keeps on slipping into the future...

MJ alluded that he knew was stunted to an extent due to his experiences as a child star, that he had difficulty relating and even socializing with people. He said he "knew something was wrong" with him, in that talking to people in general wasn't really easy for him
but you're right, some people make him out to be nearly braindead and that kills their credibility and people on the other side of the extreme are just as bad.

But people are not all the same. One person might go through a breaktup and develop depression and suicidal tendencies, another might be just fine. Personal experience on the matter can't be used to determine wheter it's "correct" or not to someone to have developed some sort of psychological anomaly to deal with angst from not having had a "normal childhood".
If you watch MJ's home videos on youtube, he didn't really acted "childish" during his daily routine, he literally talked to kids the way they talked to them. He wasn't childish when he had Elizabeth Taylor for christmas, for instance. I doubt he acted "childish" when spending time with Lisa Marie, for instance.
(I'm a bachelor in social and clinical psychology, btw Michael was childlike (nothing wrong with that BTW) and shy but also intelligent and shrewd. People tend to stress the former over the latter when there was more to the man than that. | |

So you’re lying. There were a few that changed their tune when it was book writing time but that’s it. Many did not believe the accusations, especially the accusers at hand. I'm not lying. One of them called into the local radio the day after when I happened to be listening (sounded like an old white lady) and said exactly that. The old white lady you are speaking of didn’t believe grifter accuser and mom. She only changed her mind when it was time to write a book. | |

a) in the group, yes he was the youngest of the 5. He was 5 when they added him to the group and 9 when they signed to Motown. Jackie was 16 Jermaine was 13
b) to the fans, press and those at Motown. People at the label like Suzanne DePasse have said Michael was the main focus, Jermaine was 2nd in attention, and Jackie, Tito, and Marlon were kinda, "just there". He had the most responsibility and had to the most work.

He was socially awkward and shy mainly due to insecurity he experienced in his teen years and because he was sheltered. It seems the years in his youth after they stopped having hits greatly affected him. There’s one interview where his mother says the stage changed him. He basically became withdrawn and shy vs being outgoing as a youth | |

Now whether he was messing with kids I need more proof. The difference between MJ and his brothers is that he was a child star and he became more famous in later years. Had he never had the later solo success he still would’ve likely had issues that many child stars face. None of them were child stars. | |

I don't think what I said took anything too far.
He was a child star and had a lot of responsibility on him at a young age. That caused him to be stunted on a social level. He didn't have the chance to experience things and socialize like other kids
I may have worded it wrong, so it's my screwup and I apologize. I've always argued MJ wasn't the airheaded, near braindead man child some people sometimes try to make him out to be.

I just don't understand what is the purpose of a documentary like this,when Michael is dead and not here to defend himself.Seems rather pointless to me.I certainly won't watch it. | |

Yeah. It's just a smear campaign designed to make money. | |

Free2BMe said: oceanblue said: Truth is, we will never know the real truth about the sexual allegations about Michael Jackson, because the only one that knows the real truth, is God, Michael Jackson, and those involved in the accusations, or who knew Michael Jackson personally and intimately, and were really involved in his life. Michael Jackson was a peculiar man, who sometimes did peculiar things, and because of that, many didn't know whether the allegations were true or not, and they still don't know. I think that because of who Michael was ( a naive, somewhat gullible man-boy that didn't seem to want to grow up) and some of the strange things he did, that people will always have a question mark in their minds about him, and what he did or didn't do. Truth is that we DO know the truth. The evidence is there all to see, but some people are just too damn lazy to read the FACTs. Some people just want to accept what they THiNK. You can bet that MJ fans and defenders are activists, when it comes to defending Michael. We researched EVERY piece of evidence-pro and con. We know every word that the accuser’s uttered in their accusations, how time lines were altered by the prosecution to fit those accusations, receipts when accuser said one thing and receipts showed another and this is a fraction of what the evidence showed that proved Michael’s innocence. Yes, Michael was too trusting when it came to these grifters and accusers. Being naive or trusting does not equate with being guilty of abuse. The only question mark is from people who WANT to believe that Michael did something wrong and are just too lazy or don’t care about the truth. That’s their problem, not Michael’s. He can’t be hurt anymore;but, his fans will never stop defending his name and pointing out the LIES from scum like Wade Robson, in this latest vendetta. With a top-notch defence team that you're paying MILLIONS to defend you....anything can be skewed | |

Surely, you know that these kids played on the amusement rides, train, swimming pool, went to the movie theater that were all on the property at Neverland. They weren’t in Michael’s room 24/7. You seem to be saying that a man can’t play with kids without something sexual going on. Least you forget, Michael’s three children were also at Neverland at one time. Are you saying that a 30 or 40 year man can’t have a pillow fight or play with his kids, his nieces/ nephews and other kids without being sexually attracted to them. How sad if you or anyone else thinks that way.I don’t know if you have children, if you do, I would hope that people wouldn’t think you playing with them means that you are attracted to them sexually. Can you imagine how that would completely destroy you? Think about what you just posted and put yourself in Michael’s place. Being innocent and people accusing you of a heinous act, when you know that you are 1000% innocent.  Why repeatedly put yourself in a position where things can be misconstrued? Especially after the first accusation. | |

Free2BMe said: oceanblue said: ^^"When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child, but when I became a man, I put away childish things" 1 Corinthians 13:11.....can't deny the truth of that! Amazing how that scripture applies to a lot of people who are too childish, weak and immature to decipher the truth from lies, innuendo and gossip. It’s a shame that some people think that they are mature and can’t think for themselves. I call them “followers”because they rely on others to think for them. They depend on anything other than the FACTs starring them “in the face”. FTR, Michael was twice the man of some of these so-called “he-man” types who would have never been able to handle the shit that was thrown at him on a daily basis. [Edited 1/13/19 18:52pm] Did he really handle it...WELL? Michael was clearly detached from reality | |

I would bet money that he was attached to reality as much or more than you are anyone else. Btw, what is your so-called “reality”? Michael was kind and generous; but he was highly intelligent and an astute businessman. I don’t know anyone who spoke or dealt with this man who thought he was detached from realty. I emphasize NO ONE. It is sad that you and a few others, base YOUR perception of normal as what you believe is “standard”. The ironic thing is that someone could think that of you or me. | |

What I find disconcerting is that people are either too ignorant, lazy or unaware that Michael didn’t just find solace in the company of kids. Michael hung out with Chris Tucker, Steve Harvey, Elizabeth Taylor, Gregory Peck and his wife, Jane Fonda, Sophia Loren, Teddy Riley, Nelson Mandela, etc. Just because you don’t know about these ADULTS, doesn’t mean that he only hung out kids and their FAMILIES. Let me emphasize to you again, that the kids who came to Neverland were their with their FAMILIES. His nieces and nephews were their all the time. HUNDREDS of inner city kids were invited to NEVERLAND with their parents, chaperones and sponsors. Everything that I am saying is easily verified by video footage. Seriously, you and other skeptical people need to do your research before you accuse or ASSUME that you know something. I can guaranteed you thst you really don’t know anything. It would like me assuming something about you,when I know nothing.  | |

Seriously, what does being performance based, motivated, dedicated, hard working have to do with the words “innocent” or “pure intent”? I don’t how old you are; but, do you really hear yourself “talking”. Are people really THAT naive? It’s truly frightening that an adult could think as you asserted! Shaking my head at the reasoning of so-called intelligent members of society. THINK! RATIONALIZE. I don’t see these things in your posts. You are going by innuendo, conjecture, gossip, etc. | |

I just don't understand why this trend of bringing back up old accusations of VERY successful black artist is coming from?The fans are still going to buy their muziq & keep them close to their hearts
Either way IT NEEDS TO STOP! The press BETTER NOT bring this up to Janet at her induction either.
[Edited 1/17/19 21:05pm] I actually agree with you there about the new trend of bringing up old accusations but it's not just black folks that this is done to. It's everyone. Nobody is allowed to make a mistake anymore. The media, or to be more specific, social media, won't allow it. Which is especially worrying when you consider that Michael Jackson was found not guilty and this shit still gets brought up. It's not like he was caught on camera actually doing it, like R Kelly. I don't see this documentary having much, if any, impact on Janet's Hall of fame induction though. Her career is not defined by the success of her brother. | |
