Why Michael Jackson is glorified as a star even if we know that he was a child molester?

For similar reasons that OJ Simpson was let off, he was guilty also.

If you don't think Michael did anything wrong think again.

There is no dispute that, at age 34, Michael Jackson slept more than 30 nights in a row in the same bed with 13-year-old Jordie Chandler at the boy’s house with Chandler’s mother present. He also slept in the same bed with Jordie Chandler at Chandler’s father’s house. The parents were divorced.

Five boys Michael Jackson shared beds with have accused him of abuse: Jordie Chandler, Jason Francia, Gavin Arvizo, Wade Robson, and Jimmy Safechuck. Jackson had the same nickname for Chandler and Arvizo: “Rubba.” He called Robson “Little One” and Safechuck “Applehead.”

Jordie Chandler drew a picture of the markings on the underside of Jackson’s penis. His drawings were sealed in an envelope. A few months later, investigators photographed Jackson’s genitalia. The photographs matched Chandler’s drawings.

The hallway leading to Jackson’s bedroom was a serious security zone covered by video and wired for sound so that the steps of anyone approaching would make ding-dong sounds, you need that when you are doing things with kids you are not supposed to.

Jackson had an extensive collection of adult erotic material he kept in a suitcase next to his bed, including S&M bondage photos and a study of naked boys. Forensic experts with experience in the Secret Service found the fingerprints of boys alongside Jackson’s on the same pages. Jackson also had bondage sculptures of women with ball gags in their mouths on his desk, in full view of the boys who slept there.

According to the Neverland staff interviewed by the Santa Barbara authorities, no one ever saw or knew of a woman spending the night with Michael Jackson, including his two spouses, Debbie Rowe or Lisa Marie Presley. Rowe, the mother of two of Jackson’s children, made it clear to the Santa Barbara authorities that she never had sex with Jackson.

The parents of boys Jackson shared beds with were courted assiduously and given myriad expensive gifts. Wade Robson’s mother testified in the 2005 trial that she funneled wages through Jackson’s company and was given a permanent resident visa. Jimmy Safechuck’s parents got a house. Jordie Chandler’s mother got a diamond bracelet.

In a 2002 documentary, Living with Michael Jackson, Jackson told Martin Bashir there was nothing wrong with sharing his bed with boys.

I am not buying it that he did nothing wrong.

Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson (1958-2009) was a famous singer and entertainer. Between 1993 and 1994 and separately between 2004 and 2005, Jackson was investigated by California law enforcement agencies for possible child molestation. He was acquitted of all such charges.

People would rather overlook such inconveniences that hinder the view of their idol.

What kind of parent allows their children to do a sleepover at the man's house ? oh that's right I know, if a man has deep pockets and the parents are dirt poor

He was one of the most exciting and dynamic pop performers of all time. He was also probably a serial child molester and pedophile. Those things don't take away that he has written and performed some of the most classic and revered pop songs of the 20th century.

Because he is both

The truth is it is public opinion as to whether he actually did it or not and nothing was ever proved nor disproved (when something is put out there on the news and especially in the popular social medias , public opinion forms very quickly...especially when someone famous is involved). Do I believe he was guilty or innocent? I cannot say one way or another because I didn't know him or any of his "victims" and I haven't seen any of the evidence for or against. That said...What he did or did not do in his personal private life had no (and still doesn't have any) bearing on the music and entertainment he put out there. Add to that, the man is dead and that incident was years ago, it makes no sense to keep rehashing it.

Simply because people refuse to believe the truth as he was never convicted of a crime.

Being a star and being a good person doesn't go hand in hand. Even tho I absolutely hate his music, I can still admit he was a great performer with a massive talent.

John Lennon is hailed as a great talent too, and even a spokesman for peace, while in real life it's no secret he was a wife beater (among other things) Still doesn't change the fact he made a great impact in the music scene. (And no, I don't like him either, but his talent is still undeniable)

It's crazy. Some people choose to ignore unsavory aspects about him.

Good question.
He was talented, a good dancer and performer. Oh, and he was black - transitioning to white.
I guess when he had all that going for him, some people will look the other way when molested kids.

Was he actually found guilty? I thought he was accused but acquitted of all charges.

Baffles me

In your opinion, to me he had a childs mind, I've followed the case for years he was found not guilty, a grown man having young boys around was always going to cause a stir and in no way Is it right but I dont believe he did what he was accused of, MJ was a troubled soul but no way was he a molester

I think in the end the picture was that he was fucking weird - but didn't actually molest anyone. And the scandals took a huge dent out of his popularity.

Same reason we don’t talk about Whitney Houston being a crack head, or Prince being a pill popper.

People believe what they want too.

how is it known he was never convicted. i think he was messed up in the head and had like peter pan complex I dont think he was molesting children.

Where is your proof ? 🙂

I wonder if you are a Trump supporter. He sexually assaulted hundreds of women. ☺️
