#DefendMichael #MichaelIsInnocent

I am furious over the recent documentary, Leaving Neverland, that is literally spitting on the grave of the greatest entertainer who ever lived! Michael is innocent and this has already been proven! I hate that these awful accusations are being brought up again and that so many people are buying the lies in this biased, one-sided mockumentry! Why can't people leave Michael alone?? I refuse to believe the allegations. When I first read about them (from '93 and 2005 - I had no idea he was even ever accused until 2015 when I was first becoming a fan) I was horrified and immediately re-thought my new found love and "fandom" in Michael Jackson. But, the allegations just didn't sit right with me. I wanted to know if it was true or not. After a lot of research I came to the conclusion that Michael Jackson was a GOOD, LOVING, KIND, and DECENT person who didn't do ANYTHING untoward or inappropriate to children! I'm not saying he was a perfect person. I don't agree with  him inviting children to sleepovers at his house, but from what I have heard, Michael didn't sleep in the same bed, there were always other adults present, his bedroom was huge so it was likely he wasn't even always near the children! Also, a lot of close friends of Michael (children included) would stay at Neverland while he was away! That's how open, honest, trustworthy and generous he was!

I understand and can even relate to Michael Jackson's love for children and why he enjoyed their company so much. Kids are non-judgmental. If you treat them with love and kindness they do the same to you. They are easy to love because they love freely. I've always gotten along well with children. I have always felt more comfortable around kids. I have spent time with children outside of my usual work with them because they wanted to be with me. Now, I didn't invite them to my house for sleepovers, but I did invite them into my home if they came over and wanted to talk to me (which has happened). I would have parties for the groups of children I used to teach. I would take kids to the store or go on walks with them if they asked me to and if I had the time. I have spent time with children because I love them but I AM NOT a pedophile and I have never done anything indecent or inappropriate to them!! I love them because they love me! And they love me because I love them! And, I believe, that is the exact same way it was with Michael! Everyone always wanted something from him whether it was his autograph, a picture, his time, his talent, sex, money, something! Some people viewed him as almost a type of God. They would scream, cry and pass out just being in his presence. No one wants to be around people like that, who only love you because of your talent and fame. Unfortunately, as we grow older we lose the innocence and purity that we once had when we were a child. We become self-centered, selfish and greedy. We forget that the simple things in life are what's important. Michael's childhood was literally stripped away from him when he was 8 years old. He suffered psychologically from it. He had a lot of mental health problems. But I believe they were illnesses such as depression, anxiety, phobias and Peter Pan Syndrome and that there were no behaviors of pedophilia or molestation. I don't believe he had any addictions to child porn or sex. He had more of a mentality of an innocent child. People don't want to believe that he was a reserved, gentle, quiet person. But, I believe he was. Multiple people have described him of being shy. Shy people get judged all of the time because other people don't always understand that behavior and how it makes you act, especially when you are so painfully shy. I would know, because I am. And I've been misjudged because of it.

I'll be honest, ever since I first heard about this documentary, I have had my moments of doubt. I have begun to wonder if maybe, perhaps, it is true. Or, that there is at least some truth to it. I want to believe people who come out with stories of abuse. I want justice for them. I don't want these things to continue to happen. Abuse is awful. Period. But child abuse, especially sexual is one of the worst kinds in my opinion. If Michael Jackson really did the things he is being accused of then he did. And no matter how much you love him will change that. But I need hard, cold, facts and evidence. As of right now, and the facts/evidence that are out there that I know about, there is way more proof that Michael is innocent! I will continue to believe that until proven otherwise! I have watched tons of interviews and videos of him with children over the years. I never once got a creepy, bad feeling while watching. In fact, I was so touched when I first saw and learned about the love he felt towards children. I related to it. It's what really made me love him as a person, not just an entertainer. He did so much good in the world! He holds the record of most charitable donations than any other celebrity. I don't believe someone who did awful things to children (because people who do those kind of things know they are doing bad things!) could be such a good person all of the time. And Michael was consistent. He was also honest. He straight up told people yes! Kids stay at my house! I invite them over! So, I also believe he is being honest when he says "I NEVER DID ANYTHING!"

This is what I believe. This is what I will stand by until proven otherwise. I pray the truth comes out so this can all be put to rest once and for all. This year marks the 10 year anniversary of Michael's death. Now, instead of celebrating such a creative genius who brought so much joy and happiness into the world, it's been tainted by digging up these old rumors and bringing them into the spotlight. I'm saddened by how many people believe the allegations because they won't do any research. It's so easy to believe the sensational, the graphic and the disturbing stories. It's easy to believe lies. And I can understand why people do believe them. These are two more people who have come out with accusations. Even though Michael was already exonerated and proven not guilty, once that seed of doubt is planted, if cultivated, it will grow. And that will forever be associated with him and it's sad. It's hard to forget. I think Michael put it best when he said "If you hear a lie often enough, people start to believe it." I truly believe in my heart of hearts that he is innocent. Michael Jackson was not a monster! He was a great person. He was different, even a little weird sometimes, but just go read about his life! Read his book Moonwalk! He never got to have a normal life! Ever! I have nothing but love for Michael Jackson. I will stand by him and all other MJ supporters! I'm not saying all of this because I'm a crazy, die-hard fan. I'm saying this because I've done my research. I've read and listened to both sides. I want justice for the innocent, who in this case, I believe is Michael Jackson. Truth always prevails. Light can penetrate even the deepest darkness.

FACT CHECK:
(and for the record, I'm not a very eloquent speaker and my vocabulary isn't the most sophisticated but I try!)

During the first allegation in 1993


  • The accusing family settled out of court for an extremely large amount of money (if I believed for even one second that my child, brother or ANY child for that matter, had been MOLESTED by someone, celebrity or not, NO amount of money would be enough to settle for. Money would be the last thing I would even want! I would want that person behind bars so they could never do this again to anyone! I would want SAFETY over MONEY!)
  • Jordan Chandler (alleged victim) estranged himself from his parents a couple years later
  • There is audio recorded EVIDENCE that Jordan Chandler's father (the mastermind behind this scandal) saying how he was going to "humiliate" Michael and "bring about his downfall")
  • The father, Evan Chandler, later committed suicide. So I guess money doesn't bring happiness.


*Read this eye-opening article from 1994 that sets the record STRAIGHT regarding the first allegation

The 2005 Trial


  • The family was known for trying to get money from other celebrities over the years
  • They defended Michael while their son was sick (with cancer) and Michael was generous in helping him and his family during that difficult time....once the boy recovered and was no longer receiving the money and attention they began singing a whole different tune....
  • They lied under oath .... their claims contradicted each other and their own previous claims
  • They lied about other "sexual assault" encounters (JC Penny)
  • Fully acquitted and found innocent on ALL accounts by a unanimous jury (most of who were WHITE and Michael Jackson was a BLACK man....unfortunately that says a lot)
  • A 10 year raid/investigation was done by the FBI on Neverland where they were NEVER able to find even a shred of proof/evidence that he was a molester (the raids were done at random intervals without Michael's knowledge and when Michael wasn't even home, therefore not giving him time to "dispose of any evidence")

Leaving Neverland


  • Wade Robson was friends with Taj Jackson, Michael's nephew, for years
  • Wade Robson dated Michael's niece, Brandi, for years (this was never even mentioned in the doc)
  • Wade Robson testified, UNDER OATH, while in his 20's, during the 2005 trial, that Michael never did anything to him! He was one of Michael's main defendants (why would you call someone you abused for years to be your main defendant in court?? Rather risky move there....if it were true)
  • Wade Robson choreographed multiple Michael Jackson dance tributes following Michael's death. 
  • Wade Robson tried suing the Jackson Estate and started coming out with these allegations after he was denied the opportunity to choreograph a Michael Jackson Ciruqe Du Soleil show
  • Both men tried taking their case to court but it was thrown out due to inconsistencies and not enough evidence
  • Both men claim they are not being paid for this documentary and don't want any money from it as they sue for a billion dollars....
