The whole video segment with Frank & Chopra is on here. Just click on 'Michael Jackson: What We Didn't Know' on the right

http://abcnews.go.com/2020/

this is so disgusting. yeah what a best way to promote the book with the "in" drug addict talk. I used to against so called friends written book about their 'version' of Michael's privacy, but when some said Michael was not here, we need some good book to balance those tabloids trash books, then I think ok maybe things are different, I should be open minded. and now I had this ish talk. Occasional drug addict? wtf! Michael Jackson now is in the same catalog of people like elvis or amy whinehouse. thanks to those so called money hungers, their meal tickets gone, so they had to say what media wants to get their 5 mins for $$$$$$$$$ sake.

Occasional drug addict????? What's this? Honestly, if it's true, I can take it. However, what the hell he have to say this at this time point? Promoting the book with drug addict story doesn't look so good.

et tu Frank?

Did Michael ever have any genuine people in his life?

I'll skip this as well, and here I was looking forward to it, to be honest.

Never had any plans to buy this book...

Absolutely not surprised....

Nice friends, real nice...
 
Re: Frank Cascio to write memoir of his friend Michael Jackson / press release at pg12 / Nov 15 ,201

And Diana Ross. I will forever appreciate her silence, especially when she was doing interviews to promote her tours. She could sell him out like other so called family or friends but she didn't because she cared Michael. I hope she would forever keep her silence. No wonder michael loved her so much and even in death he trusted her with his children.
 
Re: Frank Cascio to write memoir of his friend Michael Jackson / press release at pg12 / Nov 15 ,201

I canceled my book order today and instead contributed to the Invincible campaign. I wanted to do something to show positive towards Michael. I didn't care that I already own a few copies of Invincible I am so sick of all these people. For the life of me I just can't understand how one man attracted so many worthless, disgusting, backstabbing, lying, manipulative people when he himself put forth grace and dignity.
 
Re: Frank Cascio to write memoir of his friend Michael Jackson / press release at pg12 / Nov 15 ,201

Wow, i dont know what to say. I didnt expect this from Frank, to be honest... I am glad i didnt pre-order his book. Whats wrong with all these friends and family? They keep throuwing Michael under the bus to promote their shit. Yes, Michael had problems with drugs in the past, but you dont go on TV to discuss it during the jury deliberations!!! What was Frank thinking??? I am very upset and disappointed.
 
Re: Frank Cascio to write memoir of his friend Michael Jackson / press release at pg12 / Nov 15 ,201

Is that some sort of a plaster over MJ's nose? I can't make out what it is

It seems like the bandages / surgical tape used after a nose job. It holds the shape etc.

Example : Heidi Montag

Yes, it looks like something like that. Thanks.
 
Re: Frank Cascio to write memoir of his friend Michael Jackson / press release at pg12 / Nov 15 ,201

So there's another Michael book I won't be buying. So close Frank.
 
Re: Frank Cascio to write memoir of his friend Michael Jackson / press release at pg12 / Nov 15 ,201

And a nice picture to put out there knowing it will get more attention and talk.
 
Re: Frank Cascio to write memoir of his friend Michael Jackson / press release at pg12 / Nov 15 ,201

I've always expected most fans cannot stand reality and accuse those that share some real insight on the personality known as Michael Jackson as liars and backstabbers. Even though Michael himself wrote and sung a song about his addiction of painkillers (=legal "drugs"). And that song is from the early '90ies, in his later years he went on to regularly abuse medicine for his various issues stage efforts and diseases caused by longstanding overworking.

Face it, don't deny Michael's tragic and sad downside, it IS also a part of who he was! He had his flaws like any other human being! ;)
 
Re: Frank Cascio to write memoir of his friend Michael Jackson / press release at pg12 / Nov 15 ,201

I knew sooner or later that these same people who defended Michael for an entire year after his death would come out against him in the end. I don't know if I will ever support any of the people around Michael again. Ever. In the end, I always find myself being disappointed in these people. And it's not that I think that Michael was a god. But his "problems", whether true or false, are always being talked about as if he had no good qualities whatsoever and like all he deserves from now on is nothing better than to be trashed and dumped on. Trying to get anybody to say anything positive about him anymore is like trying to get water out of a rock in a desert. This is just my opinion.

I can face this but the things I can't stand is:

1 People are running around now saying oh oh he was an addict but didn't actually do anything when he was alive. If they didn't have guts to admit that before when he was alive, then shut up after he is dead. BTW, drug dependency didn't equal to drug addict.

2 The way they talked about this drug issue. As you said in your post, MJ had lots of health issue because of the injury from the performance throughout the years, the pressure he had. I am fine if they put it in a proper way and explain there's reasonable reason that sometimes he need to seek out medicine. I had a friend who actually knew MJ for more than a decade. She said she never saw MJ popping pills like the media are now keeps saying. She said MJ only took pills when he really can't handle the physical pains. When someone is really in pain, is that reasonable to seek out some medication? The way they describe these stories are like MJ kept popping pills for years.

3 They should be way more careful when talking to media and know the timing. They knew the media don't care about what Murray did. They just want to paint MJ a tragic person who lose control of his own life and destroy himself. Frank or others can for sure to talk about all these things as long as it's true. However, I think the timing is so bad and the media is running around said MJ is an addict without giving any reasonable explanation. Is it MJ or is it Murray on trial? All these people should know better. Does this too much to ask to shut their mouth until the trial is over? How come MJ is an addict be related to the Murray trial? The media wants the public to link the two things together and Frank and the bodyguards and the Chopra give them the fuel to do it. This is what pissed me off.

Thread cleaned
please dont personally attack each other. No one is being disrespectful to MJ
disgree and post your veiw but please be respectful to each other as you do it
 
Re: Frank Cascio to write memoir of his friend Michael Jackson / press release at pg12 / Nov 15 ,201

@missred07, agreed with everything you said.

Just yesterday, I was wondering what Frank would do to promote his book. Then, I saw him on 20/20. In my opinion, what he said was unnessary. Instead of claiming Michael was a "situational addict", he should have explained that Michael had chronic pain issue and could have depended on pain prescription from time to time. Frank portrayed himself as a savior who tried to warn Michael about drugs and took drugs out of his room. His words just reinforced people's perception that Michael was a spoiled addict. Tom Mesereau keeps telling the media that he had never seen Michael popping pills; yet, Frank and Deepak Chopa are cancelling out TMez's words.

I don't understand why Frank doesn't understand he has to be very careful when talking to the media.
 
Re: Frank Cascio to write memoir of his friend Michael Jackson / press release at pg12 / Nov 15 ,201

Frank knows very well what he's telling the media, and he totally aware of what kind of impact his little 'stories' have at this time, and he knows what will get him the maximum exposure for his crappy little book. Regardless of how true or false his claims are, he's saying the things he does, for a reason. Talking about drug addict at THIS time will get him maximum exposure.
Frank is not only aware of the impact of his words but of the timing as well.


before I forget:

whos dening that mj had issues? Mj was as high as a kite at msg. Thats not the issue.thee issue has been stated numerous times.

exactly

Wonder how many jurrors saw adverts for this interview while flicking through channels or the tv guide? give a toss do u frank? nahhh
 
Re: Frank Cascio to write memoir of his friend Michael Jackson / press release at pg12 / Nov 15 ,201

Totally agree missred07.

Sheesh all this drug talk is so boring and so sanctimonious. I hate how family and friends are playing into this new theme of how to traduce mj in the media - and during murray's trial as well.

So mj, like hundreds of thousands of others overdid it on pain meds at periods in his life - and unlike those others had the excuses of the pressures of staggering fame and staggering betrayals. He was hardly a cross between kurt cobain and charlie sheen - compared to other music legends/celebrities mj appeared to me really moderate in the drug dept, it was all to do with managing pain and helping to sleep. So he died of an overdose of sleeping drugs - but how many other drug-related deaths had the deceased person hiring a $5000 a night doctor to administer the sleeping drugs? Not exactly the actions of a reckless, out of control drug addict, but someone who faced unique pressures that no one else can even imagine.
 
Re: Frank Cascio to write memoir of his friend Michael Jackson / press release at pg12 / Nov 15 ,201

Exactly mj must be the only person in the world who gets called an addict cause he took pain meds for legitmate reasons. yeah i forgot mj was a subhuman who could never have illnesses it was all fake.

my mother takes tramadol (a drug waldman mentioned) everyday. she cant get through most days without taking one cause of her pain issues. i guess shes an addict aswell going by the mj logic
 
Re: Frank Cascio to write memoir of his friend Michael Jackson / press release at pg12 / Nov 15 ,201

Well, I hate to say I told you so....

from David Gest ...to bodyguards...to Latoya...to Jermaine...to Cascios" Save your hard earned money.


They are all finding for your money. They are all throwing MJ under the bus because that is the ONLY way they will get media attention. The public doesn't care about these books. Only we (well, not me, but you get the point) do...we want to know all the silly, crazy, private details of Michael Jackson's life. And these bloodsuckers will happily oblige to relieve our thirst for $15.31


So I blame fans...than i blame these leeches for this revolving hot mess we've been subjected to.



I will flush my money down the toilet before I buy anything from these self-serving friends and family.
 
Re: Frank Cascio to write memoir of his friend Michael Jackson / press release at pg12 / Nov 15 ,201

yes in mj logic if Michael loved children he was a pedo. If he drank wine he was alcoholic. If he took prescription drugs to treat his condition, he was drug addict.
 
Re: Frank Cascio to write memoir of his friend Michael Jackson / press release at pg12 / Nov 15 ,201

I would have liked to have bought this book, I always had a lot of respect for Frank and his family. I appreciate the friendship they gave to Michael for so many years. But after what they did to Michael's musical library, I'm afraid I can't support them anymore. I'm not trying to take this off topic but the sad reality is that that is the reason why many people won't buy this book nor have any respect for Frank and his family these days.
