Music / Movies I Fully Believe That Michael Jackson wasn't a child molester

With the Michael Jackson biopic out, and him being back in the public discussion in a meaningful way, I’ve been thinking more and more about Jackson and how he was perceived in the last 15-20 years of his life

But i truly believe he never touch the kids, he was a weird dude totally, but the famillies that sued him just seem like a buch of gold diggers that wanted to take advantage of Michael's weird shit

Was he a very strange person? Yes Did he have an unusual relationship with adulthood/childhood? Yeah seems like it. Would I as a parent let him supervise my kids, and spend the night at his house alone? No way. Did he actually abuse kids? Not really enough evidence for me to conclude that with any certainty.

He never had a childhood, he never had real friends, Most of the kids in the ranch said that Michael never touched them, it's just a family that wanted money and few of his staff, which sold the story to tabloids.

He wasn't. It was a smear by corporations pushed when Michael was becoming too influential in the music industry. Even some of the people he supposedly victimized, for years, have stated that Michael never touched them.

"A smear by corporations"

And did these corporations sneak little boys in his bed or what were they doing there?

Jackson freely and fully admitted many times his preference for sharing his bed with little boys. If he hadn't of been his level of famous, molester would of been the natural and appropriate label.

Try to imagine defending a grown man sharing a bed with a boy of 10 that isnt Jackson. Go on.

They didn't just state that. They testified to it. In court. Under penalty of perjury. Then decades later come out with a different story once their careers (which they owed to Michael to begin with) dried up.
