Controversial MJ Documentary Leaving Neverland [GENERAL DISCUSSION THREAD]

[MJPoetryFan]

Branca was selling stories to the tabloids before her son ever accused MJ (which she on the stand admitted were lies). She was called by the police to Neverland during the raid to unlock the Cabinet which had the only 'incriminating' evidence found ever in MJ's possession the two infamous books (how convenient). She was actively cooperating with Guartirez and the tabloids throughout the 1993 debacle how ever after MJ settled with the Chandlers she went to Larry Feldman to see how she could also get money by accusing MJ. Sneddon and police officers met her son who had repeatedly denied MJ did anything to him one of the officers told him MJ assaulted Mac and Corey Feldman who are now abusing drugs because of their abuse and that he was lucky he had his mom who wanted to protect him they encouraged him to accuse mj to protect other children all recorded on tape. He eventually told them mj ticketed him on his private 'so they would leave him along' Immediately before the launch of History album, Feldman demanded a settlement from MJ lawyers otherwise he would ruin the History launch so they settled. Jason took the stand in 2005 had a total new version of events which he made up with the hope that once mj was convicted he would be able to sue again for damages he did not recover under the 1995 settlement. He testified he was not aware his mother received a settlement to make himself more credible to the jurors who saw through him immediately and started laughing at him. He was exposed as a complete joke on the stand.

Wow, I'm in complete shock over this. I wish MJ had fought it and told his gruby money hungry sicophants to go to hell. This doesn't look good on him and he was just too afraid to fight I think because the berage of fake accusations that would come after he settle with Chandler must have scared him off to fight because it does look suspicious and he couldn't undo the damage - sadly.

I agree but I also understand. People settle for different reason and being a black man who knows these people are conartist and want money I understand Johnnie Cochran, who told MJ to settle which MJ did not want to do but we along with the advice, doing so being black and accused of abusing a white kid even though u are innocent. Think about it. And look, they a got the money and ran. settlements do not stop criminal if MJ was guilty. Also, Jason looked like a fool on the stand and that is why the media barley brings him up. they saw for themselves he was full of it. And his mother was a proven liar and paid by hard Copy to lie and not one time on the show did she say her kid was abused until she wanted part of the lie.

Michael and Mesearu did a Press Conference during the 2005 trial and mentioned this and the 1993 settlement. There is nothing suspicious about it because Mez specifically said that Michael regretted setttling and that would NEVER happen again. The police badgered Jason Francia for weeks trying to force him to say Michael abused him. He refused and finally said Michael tickled him on the outside of his pants. Every fan who has been following these extortion scams for 35+ years know of the Francia extortion scam.
Damn, no human being should have to go through what Michael endured. He fought the Arvisso scam and WON. Yet, you still have people who doubt him. :angry:

I can’t stand DL Fugly either. He is weak minded and ignorant. Btw, I wouldn’t ever allow a child of mine to even be in the same room as him. His ignorance is probably contagious.

D L hugley grew up on the streets in gangs in South Central. No more needs to be said about the stuff he did that can be proven. Sometimes he joke too much over the line.

Oh I understand the pressue he was under to settle. It would have cost him more to have fought this because he'd have to cancel too many concert dates because of court room developments and what not that he'd have to be in attendance for. He'd have lost multi millions in sponsorships. I get it. I know innocent people just settle because it costs them less to get it out of their life than to litigate it.
'

Just like JC Penny's did with Janet Arvizo. We now know they were innocent in this but they opted to just pay it off to move on from because the bad publicity would have cost them more money than a settlement would (in most of these cases where alot of money is to be made)

Bill Whitfield talks for an hour.

This interview is several months old. This was before the Train Station lie was exposed and debunked. Michael’s music is still being played on radio, and in public. Statues are still standing. His name is still on a school and his merchandise is still being sold. Btw, I love Bill and what he says.

 

[Staffordshire Bullterrier]

Is it true that all kinds of channels and media sources have canceled plans to air anniversary shows/videos on June 25?

So basically these people didn't learn a ****ing goddamn thing then? LN has been torn apart left and right, but who cares right?

So basically these people didn't learn a ****ing goddamn thing then? LN has been torn apart left and right, but who cares right?

I think that is the story the media wants to tell atleast but there are atleast three new documentarys in France and in Thaiwan they have a month of MJ music. Anyway this isn&#8217;t the 90s anymore and people are watching what they want then they want. One good indication of that I think is that then John Ziegler uploaded his video interview with Thomas Mesereau more than 100 000 people watched in less than a week. I think Robson and Safechuck made a big mistake anyway. What are they going to do after this? Evan Chandler didn&#8217;t become a famous screen writer, he died with no contact with his family. Eventually I hope Taj documentary will be released (just donated another $10 and a rose for MJ even though I think he prefer sunflowers) and we will continue to spread the word through social media.

 

[elusive moonwalker]

Exactly. Fans need to stop been so easily led. Have you all learned nothing from the media and their mute campaign inorder to push the public to think that way when the evidence showed the opposite. A show based on a haters book got cancelled. Well great!

 

[La74]

So my point is even if some tv anniversary special actuall was canceled on June 25th the media is trying to make it sound like that means a lot more than it actually does because that is the story they want to sell and they want to cover up the fact that LN was a global flop and they don&#8217;t decided the narrative anymore, people are doing what they want.

 

[elusive moonwalker]

It was far more than that. The motions he lost would have caused him to be a sitting duck in any criminal trial which he would have prob lost as sneddon would have already seen mjs defence and built his case around it. It broke mjs right to a fair trial. The law was changed later inorder to protect defendents.

 

[ElectricEyesAreEverywhere]

Long time lurker here, sorry that my first post might seem like a negative one but I wanted to hear your take on this.

Not sure if this has been mentioned or not, but Janet is playing Glastonbury festival this year. For anyone who doesn't know. Glastonbury is an enormous music festival and a huge deal here in the UK. The main stage where Janet is playing has a capacity of 100,000 people and it is televised live on the BBC. What's more, MJ passed away during the festival so Janet will be performing just a few days after the anniversary and I am sure this will be mentioned.

A tradition of Glastonbury is for people to make and carry huge flags, which can be anything from a sports team, some kind of funny slogan and many even poke fun (that's putting it nicely) at public figures, for example the UK Prime Minister and these are visible on the TV, which is one of the reasons why people make them. I have seen people saying on a Glastonbury forum that they will be going to see Janet play "just to see the MJ flags" (i,e they are assuming someone is going to make a funny (in their eyes) flag about this whole situation). Others have also expressed the view that Janet should not be allowed to play based on recent events - a ridiculous view in my opinion as whatever side of the fence you sit on with MJ, Janet has nothing to do with it. This makes me worried that if/when Janet addresses MJ, the anniversary or performs Scream that certain people in the crowd may not react well. Some may even attend Janet's show so they can boo and cause whatever scenes they want for what they consider to be a laugh.

Of course, it could go the opposite way and someone could take an MJ Innocent flag and this would be visible on the BBC. I have considered taking a flag myself but I'm going in a large group who have very mixed views on MJ so I don't think it would be a good idea.

Personally I think anyone who would go to the trouble of making a flag like that and carrying it around for attention is pretty sad, but it does happen and I've seen it. I am just hoping the performance won't be used as an opportunity to draw attention to this situation in a very public arena. Hopefully I am just overthinking it and worry about nothing and everyone will just enjoy the show. If anyone is interested I will report back afterwards on what the general feeling was in the crowd.

Awesome! I just said it on Twitter as well that one thing you can easily notice ever since that trash LN aired is that the folks that actually knew him, never spoke shit about him all say the same thing. It's the ones that are shady, with something to gain, an agenda that bring doubt or talk shit.

I'll never forget the logic of some of these haters. "Brandi and Taj constantly say the same things, in every interview." these haters mean to imply that this is suspect, LMAO. But people that have millions of different versions of a story, yep they believe that. Hahahaha. Saying the same things means they are genuine, there's only one version anyway, lol.

Also, you guys are right. I shouldn't let myself be swayed so easily when media says things are being canceled.

I don't think many people going to Glastonbury will care so much about LN that they would take the time and effort to make and wave an anti-MJ flag just for Janet's performance. The ratings for LN weren't great over here and the reaction on social media afterwards seemed largely in MJ's favour. Try not to worry, I'm sure it'll be fine.

I have noticed my local radio station has completely stopped playing Michael Jackson since about April 1st, not a single song. And this was a station that played him 2-3 times a day! Makes me sad. In Canada there seems to be a silent elimination of MJ since this documentary. It was a slow process that didn't happen overnight but more so gradually over March and April. Now I haven't heard MJ on the radio in 2 months, even Sunrise Records (our only record store thats open) has stopped carrying MJ. No public statement or anything, and when you ask them on Twitter they just ignore you. I went into three of their stores and literally not a single CD, vinyl, poster, or anything! It makes me really sad to watch this happening. MJ's brand does have a toxic appeal right now so many companies are just pretending like he never existed.

That is locally in Canada right now and absolutely not true in many other parts of the world. We should also think of this in a longer perspective and not buy the story the media is trying to sell that is has a much larger effect than it actually has. Actually is it wasn&#8217;t because of this I would probably just be checking the forum at times to see if Paris has done a new photoshoot etc because Michael is dead. Many fans have been a lot more active than they have been in years because of this because they will always defend him against false allegations.

I guess it depends on where you live. I went to place yesterday to get some food. I have been going there for YEARS. While I was there “Remember The Time” played and the place was full. I could see people mouthing the words and moving their heads. I thought this was a block of “old school” jams; however, the very next song was a “new school” jam. When I read someone say their town doesn’t play Michael, I almost laugh, because since the child prom movie, I have heard Michael more than ever. It just goes to show you that not everyone is a weak-minded gullible simpleton.

 

[Anna]

The only MJ I've heard in public here since LN is Somebody's Watching Me, a remix/sample of ABC, and covers of Beat It and Human Nature.

I have read on twitter the replies to a Guardian's journalist question on how much MJ (and Kelly) have they heard recently. The vast majority has replied that MJ is still being played fairly well unlike R Kelly. But I did notice that many DJ's, theme parties organisers have replied that they have completely removed him from their playing lists and will not accept requests to play him. I don't know what will happen in the long run. MJ's legacy has survived but not without damage.

Thank you for posting. it would indeed be interesting to hear feedback from Janet's set (and reactions from the crowd) at Glastonbury.

I seem to remember that the reporting from Glastonbury 2009 was very much about how sad fans were regarding the news about Michael.

Hopefully, tickets are too expensive (£200 plus?) for too many idiots to have bought them...but you never know these days. It would be very disappointing at any concert if members of the audience disrespected the family of the performer, particularly a concert 'headliner' like Janet. Hopefully if any protest was large and /or towards the front, Janet would just walk off.

The press are another matter, and I remember them taking plenty of photos of any politicians who turn up. I hope the UK press don't harass Janet, and that she has excellent security to keep idiots away.

 

[Soundmind]

I am sure the Gaurdian journalist was not happy at all to hear that MJ is still being played and based on the feedback he has received he will either not write an article on the subject or do what other stupid journalists have done and write how people separate the artist from the art to justify why he is still being played God forbids he admits many people don't believe the garbage and that's why they are still comfortable listening to him.

I'm looking forward to seeing Janet perform at Glastonbury (on the TV unfortunately!). The crowd there is always amazing. Even in the past when there have been calls to cancel an artist, the actual reaction to them during their performance is the opposite! I'm confident people will cheer for Janet and any mention of her brother. Even if there is a negative flag they look insignificant and silly when everyone else is cheering. Glastonbury could be really good for the Jacksons.

 

[WannaScream]

But I did notice that many DJ's, theme parties organisers have replied that they have completely removed him from their playing lists and will not accept requests to play him. I don't know what will happen in the long run.

We'll see what support the DJ's have for LN once we get to Halloween. Who can resist Thriller and Somebody's Watching Me.
