Controversial MJ Documentary Leaving Neverland [GENERAL DISCUSSION THREAD]

Cause the estate are the official representation of Michael, in his death. They're not doing nearly enough. You would think they would come out guns blazing at this kind of thing, but they're not. It's simply not good enough. And for them to rely on the fans as "front line" during this whole thing, well, that just shows there lack of defence for Michael. They don't care.
So if Estate would now say "It is not true" or tell in a statement exactly the same thing what fans are saying in here pointing out evidences, it would make you decide on your believe to Michael? But fans in here can't? Also Estate wasn't there to witness what happened or what didn't. So I still don't understand. Think on your own and don't let anybody to tell you what to think. Including Robson and Safechuck.

What about being innocent until proven guilty? There is no evidence Michael did it.

The Estate did everything they legally could to stop the film from being transmitted. I don't know what more you would want them to do. Since they could not stop the transmission, there is no point rushing in and drawing more attention to it. Everything they say now will be treated as an advert for the film, as long as it is being broadcast. They need to take careful steps to properly answer the film, knowing that everyone who wants to see it has done so. They can then use the truth to change public perceptions. it won't happen overnight. Reed, Robson and Safechuck have spent almost 2 years on the film. The Estate needs time to respond appropriately and not be rushed into doing a half-way job. Reed is still giving interviews. New and different things are still being claimed by Reed in interviews. Let them finish talking, and then let the Estate respond to everything properly.

(The HBO contract suit should hopefully start before the end of March - my main worry is that no media will give it any attention. )

I also wasn't there to witness anything at all. But I gather the information or I read or watch what somebody else had gathered and I decide on my own what to believe and what not. You can say that we don't know for sure cause there are many things in the world we don't know about but we believe.

For one thing I agree that they or somebody else should make a big documentary on all ppl coming out defending Michael and also facts that prove that those two are lying.
 
UK tabloids are now reporting that allegedly 11 more victims have come forward claiming Michael abused them as children. Do we know any more about this, any truth or reliable sources?
 
They are all fair points, I just still don't quite understand how you feel the estates actions, or lack off, are influencing your opinion. We have all the facts/evidence/testimony that we will probably ever get, its available to those who want to look for it. I don't see that the estate can do anything to persuade you either way.

And I agree completely that as passionately as we all feel none of us can claim to know for 100% either way. All we can do is come to the conclusion we find most believable based on the evidence and facts that we have, that conclusion won't be the same for each person as we are now seeing on this forum over the past few days.

Can I ask how long you have been on the fence? The facts you mention that are why you are on the fence (Michael sharing his bed/room with young boys etc) has been widely known and scrutinised since the early 90s, have you been unsure this whole time or is it the documentary and Wade & James allegations specifically that have led you to feel on the fence?

I've been on the fence since 2005, just some questions like why did his bedroom have alarms in it etc just strike me as odd. Even Mac said his bedroom had alarms, so there is a couple of things that make me go "Hmmm"
 
Dunno if it's posted here. From the nanny Grace:

It's a really long article too much to copy and paste.


'The place where I was abused is so special to me and my family, please let me marry my fiance there' ? ??

Didn't he get the alarms fitted after an intruder got into Neverland and he wanted it for security?

Why wouldn't the biggest star on the planet have a security system in his house?!! Especially the private part of the house?

and what if he is in a bed with a lady? Or watching porn. I don't know, there are many reasons in my opinion. There are kids in the property who may rush in or listen behind the closed door. Does the alarms sound weird if you think about it this way now?

And yes, security reasons from intruders as well. How simple.

Which ones? What they saying?
 
Can somebody explain this. These court documents are so hard to read cause of the language. Too still and official.

Safechuck's family waste company has shareholders, who should receive a share of the profits, according to their shareholding and whatever agreements are in place.

The plaintiff (Complainant) is saying that he hasn't received his expected share of profits since 2010. He's also saying that Safechuck, or someone else associated with the Comapny has pressured him to sell his shareholding. The amount in dispute is unclear, but seems to be in excess of $200k. The date on the complainants claim is April 2013.

There is no indication as to whether this case has been resolved, and if so who won.

I think Safechuck's complaint against MJ dates from May 2014.

Privacy? Have you forgotten about the nanny who used to trespass and hop in the bed with MJ while he was sleeping? Or workers who stole underwear and other things?

Have you really been a fan since 05?

I only skimmed before as I was checking headlines following the documentary airing over here. They both reference a Radar Online article.. so I guess its BS and US fans have probably already seen this.

Very unclear where this 11 new victims information comes from but they're reporting it.

Guys...Please remember that online media and newspapers routinely copy and paste each others articles and so we are getting the same 'reports' with the same 'news' and we are consequently going round in circles. There are no new alleged victims.

Radar Online also reported that child porn was part of the “evidence” that the police still had in their possession. Even though that kind of crap was never found. Radar Online and other Tabloids are full of crap.

No worries....If you invest in a business (put your own money into it to buy equipment or pay staff at start-up) you expect to get money back over time, and eventually make a profit. This complainant put money into the business, but says he has has stopped receiving any money back, and also that someone wanted him to sell his 'interest' (shares - representing the money he paid upfront) cheaply.

If Safechuck had to pay a large sum to this complainant (and we don't know that he does, as we don't know the court result), he would need to find a way to raise that money.

Everyone here in the UK, knows the tabloids are pure crap.
Stop paying attention and clicks to such rubbish.
 
But why have it in the first place?
I don't understand. There can be many reasons for the alarm system that I already mentioned. Imagine... You have a wife Lisa Marie (or any other women, I assume he had women before Lisa as well) and you have sex. She has children, you may have guest children visiting. They may be somewhere in a property, on the other side of the house. They either could rush in or listen behind the door cause you don't know when they may come. Another version... If we think that Michael was fearing for his life. He may be afraid that somebody would come to kill him let's say while he is sleeping and make it look as a suicide (money can do ppl crazy). Or... you hire Staff but you never know when they may betray you. They may listen behind the door without you knowing. Doesn't these reasons shouldn't be enough? Why there always should be something to do with accusations?
I think you are looking at this from the wrong angle since the begging, since 2005. Try to think about other reasons than the using children. Try to put yourself in Michael's shoes and think how it is to be the biggest star in the world. It is not all gold and fun. It was very hard for Michael, emotional hard. Try to vindicate him by yourself and look for other reasons rather than these accusations.

Thanks, I didn't share to 'spread the news' I just think its important we keep up to date with what's out there and what is being said. Any new victims would be widely reported, the original radar online article is from yesterday.

Really? wow hehe I haven't heard these things either. I am fan since '93.
 
I'm still on the fence if Michael is innocent or guilty. Obviously I'd like to think he's innocent, but with the lack of response from the estate, it's not looking good.

The Estate will continue to make money after this even if they do nothing.....and that's my fear.

Sharing his bed was wrong but it's hardly new information.
While I agree with many haters that MJ shouldn't have been doing that,I also like to add that he was always happy to say it on TV or wherever.

Hardly something you'd shout from the rooftops if indeed you were up to no good.

that you. So this is the reason why he needs money. Good to know. Cause I was unclear why exactly he is for this. I mean, yes, the money, but I thought there must be reason why and why now.
