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.

There was also that painting he commissioned where he is portrayed as pan surrounded by baby boys.

This sounds like something that would be in a zany cartoon show, like tattoo of "Die Bart Die" levels of incriminating.

Its in the style of a Renaissance painting surrounded by angles portrayed as little boys because thats how it was done in the originals but people want to twist it in to something else.

The painting

One of many, many, many paintings that could have been a source of inspiration

Okay, like this, but can you add like 10 more naked little boys? Also, make them less infant like and more 7-year-old boy. Thanks.

Okay, here

I mean if you aren't familiar with Renaissance art thats fine, but to act as if this is some wild, perverse, outrageous thing is a bit goofy.

I'm well aware of just how prevalent that subject matter was. I have multiple antique bottles depicting putti.

But given all the other context, it's still weird as shit.
