There's a good chance he really was innocent, but being weird around kids like that is enough to tank your career regardless, which is probably for the best.

What stuff?

Please show us something, anything.

Was he weird? Fuck yes. Was he a pedo: acquitted on all accounts. So hell no.

Good to be the favorite

His father was a complete piece of shit and treated him horribly and also he was never really allowed a proper childhood.

So I have heard some people argue that perhaps he was not a pedophile, but rather just really mentally ill, partly believing to be a kid that just wanted child playmates. Still wrong for an adult to act like this, but perhaps there was no sexual misconduct.

Not sure what to believe and perhaps I just don't want him to be a villain, but I would like to hear if there is some concrete evidence.

Is there a single viable claim against him?

From what I recall it was parents trying ton get money and nobody confirmed he abused them, even McAuley Cullen.

There are probably just as many people coming out to say they accused him just for the money than people actually accusing him. I'm not saying he's innocent, but i'm pretty sure i know him just as well as you do. Maybe you are willfully blind because you just want him to be a paedophile

I don't really care for his music and his behavior was immature at best (all can be chaulked up to his father.) but I'll believe evidence of his misdeeds when I see it. Every single accusation was walked back and admitted to be pressured by parents or lawyers for an out of court settlement and every investigation, including by the FBI found zero wrong doing. If he had inappropriately touched a child we'd have some evidence about it.

Nah I don't think he did. Two reasons

Every accusation is super weak and some get walked back. Michael Jackson suffered from toxic masculinity, he wasn't allowed to play with children because he was a man. Society is the issue there.

Second reason that sells it, Macaulay Culkin, Hollywood fucked this dude up he's literally talked about it and he says Michael was legit.

Testimony from those around him and supposed victims go the opposite way. Film and music industry is full of a lot of pedos, but MJ seems to have done his best to shield them from it and make moves to distupt the process established pedos used to lure in victims.

Think of how Wienstien used his connections to ruin those who opposed his rapist methods and now imagine how people with money, wealth and relative anonymity to everyone but those they have power over would try to get revenge on a public figure like MJ literally cockblocking them.

Did he ever get convicted over anything? Even though i won't say he was not a pedophile, is there actually any evidence that he was? Are people really that needy for hate?

I had a roommate who was actually hating on me for listening to micheal jackson for that "reason". Back then i sadly was afraid enough to even "associate" with a person "like that" via listening to his music. Pathetic, i know.

I wish he was still alive.

Are you okay, Annie?
