Martin Bashir playing with Michael? :/

[PoP]

He looked very handsome with a beard. too bad he didn't wear it often. he even said he just wanted to grow his beard out. he didn't mean to cause so much trouble. i liked the beard on him.

the baby accident is old. bigi is 18 now. yes it was wrong but michael isn't different to any other parent. he Way better than some parents i hear and seen.

It’s obvious he shaves and then hides it with make up and sometimes shown it without make up. Still wish we see more of Michael with a beard, I’m a beard guy myself.

If any other parent did that on the balcony would they be investigated by children services? Ask yourselves that.

[NatureCriminal7896]

yes they will. it's doesn't matter if Michael was/is a superstar or not. it's was wrong. there was others ways he could of show bigi by not holding him over the balcony.

[PoP]

Still, Allretch has no fricking @$$ right to threaten Michael by dragging child’s services into this, he said so himself that they should stay the hell out of this.

To be honest, I don't think many other parents would be questioned about it, or investigated by children's services. It was a lot of fuss over nothing - purely because it was Michael Jackson, in my opinion. It was an impulsive and ill-considered action, on his part, sure.....but was it worthy of the condemnation and recriminations he received because of it? A resounding "NO". Everything MJ did at that time was being exaggerated and publicised as "weird" by the media. By contrast, parents put their young kids perilessly on their shoulders all the time; they swing them around by their arms for "fun"; toss them in the air, in swimming pools; take them to violent rallies and protests, placing them in harm's way. Steve Irwin held his new born son in his arms, while feeding a crocodile and in some countries, kids are still unrestrained in cars and they ride on their parents' laps on motor bikes, without helmets. Every single day, children who literally are abused by their parents, are evaluated by Children's Services and then returned to those abusive homes....or abused in foster homes and returned to those same foster homes for it to happen all over again. Michael's action (for all of five seconds) pales into insignificance, in comparison to some of these other things and speaking of involving Children's Services was/is completely unwarranted. JMO

In my opinion, as a normal avenge human being. it was wrong what michael did. would i call child services on him? no. BUT it was still wrong.

How many years ago was this? ALL PARENTS make mistakes, the ONLY difference was MJ made mistake in PULBIC. My mom was sitting by and I took a doll and stuck in the OPEN FIREPLACE and went running with it when I was 5 years. So again, All parents are guilty even the parents who act self righteous and judge about MJ about what he did. I had one relative who went on & on about MJ making that mistake in 2002 and I had to remind her she let TWO KIDS stay at home ALONE while she went to the CLUB to party. She got mad with me but I had to show her "if a camera was running to catch what she did in the 80's, she would be judged as well. It shut her up.

So true.

[elusive moonwalker]

Parents do stupid things all the time where they look back and think did i do that. Luckily for 99.9% of them they dont have the worlds media and thousands of ppl watching them as they do it. Mj messed up .shock horror he was a human being and fecked up sometimes (contrary to the lynch mobs agenda)

[elusive moonwalker]

Around 2002 he acted foolish, the Sony demonstrations, the bizarre courtroom appearance with the beard and tape over his nose, the baby dangling, letting Bashir in to his life etc. There was something very wrong with him around this time. Not his best era...

A man with a beard how weird and bizarre is that you sound like bashir🤣 tape was for allergies. He was fecked off with mottola and the games they were playing with vince since the recording stages of it.been there in London 2002 was rather enjoyable actually. Ask geller about talking mj into letting bashir interview him,the bribe certainly helped. Bashir has a history of it. Criticize mj then you can criticize all the other ppl that have been taken in by him over the years. From diana to the babe in the woods families etc etc. telling mj he wanted to meet a child that he had helped asking him to hold hands etc. Shock horror he didnt want to interview dave dave that was there the same day as arvizo. I guess a disfigured adult didnt fit the plan.

I got this memory in my head since re-reading about the balcony in another thread on this forum...
My own father used to play with me as if I was an airplane at some balcony, and I was just old enough to realise there was something wrong... I can still feel the disappointment and "violence" I felt towards him in the minutes after... When I say I "violence" here I mean it as a reaction to a threat from someone who shouldn't be a threat to you and thoughts like "What the **** did you just do to me? What are you thinking?".
All he got was a remark from my mother... we're not famous.

When I saw MJ's balcony thing... Which I don't remember that clearly, I just though he was distracted, somehow goofy, but enthusiastic to show his baby to his fans...

--------------

I'm actually reading this thread because I wanted to ask a question regarding Bashir's documentary.
In the documentary we see Michael behaving weirdly with Gavin... But now that I re-watch some images I wonder... was it actually
the other way around?

But what I was wondering right now was, do we see that woman (at 4:01 in the video) leaning on Michael in the documentary? I don't remember it well enough. And who is he?

[Maxym]

Ok, well, the 2005 accusations were that part of the story I knew the less about... but this complete documentary (which i posted video #2 in previous thread) was quite interesting and relevant to this thread.
I just realised that if I write this post as I initially thought, it will get emptied but to "Promotion policy violation."
So here are just references: Title "La Historia no Contada de Neverland" (it's in English but most versions I can have with Spanish titles and subtitles) by Larry Nimer.

It includes some Bashir's outtakes... which hint that most likely Bashir made Michael think that his documentary be somewhat different...

I'm not sure you understand what the promotion policy is. You can post a YouTube video:

Yeah I must say I got a bit confused as I was not promoting anything but I was posting a link that was relevant to a thread, but then it's got removed, because it was from a MJ-dedicated blog? That's what I understood. Then, rule 22 also suggests citing sources...

Here for the video(s), instead of posting 5 links, I wanted to post a link to another related blogpost. Then I thought no. Then the whole video as a single link on YouTube but noticed it was on the account of an MJ "fan clubs". So I thought "maybe no" again... Then I went for posting without links.

If you want to post some content from another MJ fan site you can source with the name of the site, just no links or promotion. Feel free to pm me if you have more questions.
