Re: Michael Jackson: The Life of an Icon - Excl Advanced Blu-ray & DVD Cover Preview *Update Post 13
It sounds strange to me when I hear that Michael eliminated ppl that wanted to help him. So, it could be true since many close ppl said that. But why? Even true friends will go away if you say them "Beat it". It's impossible that everybody was wrong. In somewhere Michael was, probably, also wrong.
Did you mean Frank Dileo as a true friend who is dead now? I am not positive about Frank's loyalty.
Magic you are right, I too think Michael told people to Beat It, but
the reasons they are giving is what I have questions about. In no way is he going to tell them to Beat It if he recognizes that they are friends and want to
really help him with something.
I think he recognized that they wanted something from him and was disguising it by pretending they wanted to help him, or whatever their plan was, was better than XYZ, things of that nature. He, must have sensed that there was something behind their interest, and kept away from them. I find it strange that all those who said they tried to help him and he kept them away, are people who eventually had something nasty to say about him later on, or have used him several times to make money or bolster their career. For instance, some who talked about him keeping them away were some members of his family, and we know this was said after they tried to get him to do that reunion show, he did not want to, and then the stories began. He was an addict and kept them away. Meanwhile Michael was all over the place, traveling, and visiting the Cascios. How come the Cascios never said they tried to help him and he kept them away? How come people like Chris never said he tried to help Michael and he pushed him away? William never said it either. It is always those who have big projects for Michael to do that makes these claims.
If anyone can give me the names of "friends" of Michael, who say they tried to help him and he pushed them away, and you can show me that this person did not want something from Michael, did not use him to get money for a project, did not use his name to help his career, did not have an ulterior motive, then I would more likely believe that person.
Also, true friends do not leave you
emotionally, which is what I said above. You are talking about physically. Physically they may stay away from you, but deep inside, emotionally, there is always a feeling for the person.
About Frank, Michael cared enough about him to rehire him. They may have had their issues, but I still will have more respect for him than some of the others. Frank died recently and he gave an interview before he died. He never at that moment had anything derogatory to say about Michael.
I wonder what these people want to save Michael from?
