Here is what the father of the first boy said in a private conversation:
"There was no reason why he [Jackson] had to stop calling me...I picked the nastiest son of a ***** I could find [Evan Chandler's lawyer, Barry Rothman], all he wants to do is get this out in the public as fast as he can, as big as he can and humiliate as many people as he can. He's nasty, he's mean, he's smart and he's hungry for publicity. Everything's going to a certain plan that isn't just mine. Once I make that phone call, this guy is going to destroy everybody in sight in any devious, nasty, cruel way that he can do it. I've given him full authority to do that. Jackson is an evil guy, he is worse than that and I have the evidence to prove it. If I go through with this, I win big-time. There's no way I lose. I will get everything I want and they will be destroyed forever...Michael's career will be over"
Oh, and that kid's story was inconsistant as well and that same father also drugged his child with a rather potent painkiller before recording his accusations, the child's mother said that she noticed no change in the boy's demeanor and that she doubted the story, and some thirty other child friends of Jackson said that they witnessed nor received no abuse from Jackson.
That's another thing also that you pointed out. If there were so many other kids, and he was a pedophile as people say, wouldn't there be waay more kids that would've been molested and come forward? All the molestation aqusations seem fishy to me.
Michael's problems began in the late 80s when he started morphing in to someone else with all the plastic surgery; ie, the Bad albumn era, with the bleached skin and 2nd or 3rd nose job. But it was really the relationship with that brat Jordan Chandler, the kid who first accused him of molestation in 1993, that paved the way for what now has turned out to be Michael Jackson's ultimate demise.

This story is all over the Internet and may not be true. I couldn't care less at the moment. I read a GQ article yesterday from 1994 which gives the fine details of the 1993 molestation story about how Michael was framed. Was Michael Jackson Framed? | USNEWSLINK |
I have been having some deep thoughts since Thursday, wondering how the media who has been after Michael for 15 years, would handle the whole thing. I have been listening to the Wacko Jacko spin for years and frankly am sick of it. What came to mind yesterday is a scene from Breakfast at Tiffany's which I watched a few weeks ago. Towards the end of the movie Holly Golightly gets a telegram that her brother Fred who is in the army has been killed. She goes beserk and starts throwing her bedroom stuff all over then hurls herself on the bed sobbing. Her date, a rich Brazillian diplomat, says to her neighbor Paul that her behavior is bad, he can't believe she is so out of control. Paul says back to him, "There is no law against busting up your own apartment."
Michael did a lot of things I didn't agree with, definitely I would consider him eccentric. Since when is that a crime?? Yikes every media outlet I tune in to has to add some bit about his bizarre behavior as though it was against the law or something. Then you spin that out with the bad plastic surgery and fabricated child molestation story and he becomes the Wacko Jacko we've all had to deal with the last decade. I'm over it. Yesterday when watching his final press conference on You Tube I was floored that he said he loved us all from "the bottom of his heart". I guess I tuned out so many years ago that I didn't remember that Michael really did love his fans more than most entertainers. I can't remember ever hearing Madonna say how much she loves us. Earlier I was watching BET and someone commented that Michael gave his all to us. That is so true. I have sat at this computer crying the last few days, my heart is utterly broken not just for his passing now but how the media and his own actions dragged him down, how his own life was ruined.
I have to say that I think this is a really thoughtful post. I think Michael did give his all to us - not everyone appreciates his efforts but many people, like myself, do. I am truly amazed how easy it is for some people to harshly judge a man whose life was truly extraordinary. As human beings we are not meant to endure the type of fame - and the stress that comes with it - for the length of time that MJ did from such a young age. How can anyone condemn a person for not handling it well (in terms of his self destructive behavior) is beyond me.
As far as MJ being a pedophile... I don't believe that he was at all. I would think that by now, if his accusers really were molested, that one of them would have come out and told their story like the girl who was molested by Roman Polanski did. No one knows for sure though what happened and it annoys me that anyone would pretend like they know the truth for certain. What a tragedy it would be if Michael was falsely accused and endured the wrath of so many people unjustifiably? Michael's not even cold and in his grave yet... and there's people saying some really nasty and hateful things about him. I'm truly disgusted by this type of behavior (and you know who you are) but I guess some people don't give a second thought about speaking ill of the dead.
To all the fellow MJ fans. - thanks for being fair.
There will always be haters in this world.... ALWAYS... One Messege to ALL You Michael Jackson Haters....I hope it hurts reeaally bad when someone you trully love dies.. And then to top it off someone talks S***t about your loved one. ..maybe then you will have some respect for the dead and compassion for others while they grieve the loss of a loved one
Would Michael Jackson's work have been accepted and successful if he had never made any medical alterations to his head and body?
Or, was his altered appearance fundamental to his success as a performer?
A shallow or juvenile culture is heavily influenced by looks.
Was he right in doing what he did to his appearance in order for his work and his celebrity to succeed?
Would MJ's work have been accepted if he never made alterations to his face and skin tone you ask?
He would have by Black fans. They (we) adored him from the beginning and never stopped.
