Leaving Neverland - Three Years Later

[staywild23]

I found this artice from Joe Vogel from 2019. I did not read it before.

Joe Vogel @joevogel1 wrote the ONLY piece that defended Michael in 2019 after LN came out. Forbes was only outlet that would publish it. After it came out, HBO forced a disclaimer that Joe had not seen the film yet, and made him retract the words below, under threat of lawsuit.

What You Should Know About the New Michael Jackson Documentary

Recent allegations against the pop icon are disturbing. But do they hold up to scrutiny?

When I first became a fan and was uncertain about the allegations, I read and re-read this article many times. It had a big impact on me!

Some of you probably read Elton John's book, know about the chapter where talks about Michael. It's very consistent to this 1994 Barbara Walters interview he gave, where I've skipped to the part where they discuss Michael.

Walters broached Michael with Elton again 10 years later:

Keep in mind, I obviously wasn't necessarily saying a message of saying I agreed fully with Elton's comments to Walters.

Of course, remember, Elton doesn't outright demonize Michael either, and even admits "I don't know the story." He just says, "If that was me, I would've fought like hell," and he talks about his past experience fighting the false allegations brought against him by The Sun. Of course it probably would reflect better if Elton did learn more about Michael's case, but he's certainly not required to, and he has his own life to live.

It's also notable, however, that Michael dedicated Blood On The Dance Floor to Elton and considered him a friend because of those horrible days of him withdrawing from the painkillers. Much the same way Michael still considered Paul and Linda McCartney to be friends of his even long after they'd stopped having contact with each other.
