Leaving Neverland, Part 7

From Part 6:

As far as I'm concerned, Wade's credibility was completely shot even before the documentary aired. Shopping the book deal, denying knowledge of the estate, suing them under seal, omitting his relationship with Brandi which lasted for years, his multiple versions of events, him emailing himself, and it goes on and on.

Let's discuss.

Any child abuse survivor deserves to profit from his abuser's estate. The end.

by Anonymousreply 1March 15, 2019 12:27 AM

And yet he basically said what the other guy. The Jackson camp is going after Wade hard but they seem to chicken shit to do the same to the much more credible witness. They're trying a divide and conquer strategy, but their biggest problem isn't Wade's credibility. It's the airing out of Jackson's disgusting behavior in graphic detail.

It's the most naked portrait of Jackson as being an evil, manipulative child rapist.

OP- What, pray tell constitutes a "perfect victim" of paedophilia for you? Because you haven't said anything that negates that Michael Jackson stuck his tongue up a 7 yr old's arsehole. I'm sorry that you are so invested in somebody that is a dead stranger to you, probably hated you ( all "disordered" people hate those who call them out more than those who fall for their fuckry), died and left people like you to cape for him whilst he is hopefully, roasting underneath the gravel.

I won't even imagine how your type of personality manifests itself with the "norms" that you have to live amongst. My mother used to tell me that stupid people are more dangerous than "dangerous" people.

But carry on, rudebwoy. I bet this is the most attention that you've had in your life.

r7, let me ask you this - is it at all normal for a grown man to share a bed with a prepubescent child? Yes or no.

by Anonymousreply 8March 15, 2019 12:40 AM

R8 I assume you are referring to the debunked Bashir interview where Jackson said he shared his bed with the boy in the film. From Part 6:

Yes, but it is generally acknowledged that Bashir purposefully staged and omitted many details from his film to create an imbalanced and biased representation of Jackson. For example, when Michael Jackson stated that he shared his bed with the boy in the film, Bashir removed the section where the boy added that Jackson slept on the floor.

We know all of this only because Jackson had instructed his own videographer to record every interview without cutting (alongside Bashir's camera crew.) As a result, you can see what Bashir omitted and you also see the interactions between interviews. I highly recommend doing so. Bashir's journalistic practices in that documentary still affect his reputation today.

If you are truly interested in that interview, I would suggest watching: Take Two: The Footage You Were Never Meant to See (also referred to as "the rebuttal video"), which was seen on Fox in the United States. This was presented by Maury Povich and contains even more material which Bashir omitted (it is numerous.)

You are such a pompous joke R9 You dismiss Michaela Coel as not knowing Jackson thereby making her opinion worthless, whereas you as an anonymous poster, strangulating yourself to look smart and using all the big words you can muster, have the same relationships with Jackson i.e you have fuck all to do with him other than swooning over his music. Your opinion is worthless by your own standard and yet you have vomited it copiously regardless. In any case it is good to remind ourselves what a cunt our pedo defender is . I quote his charming riposte at R307 from the previous thread....... 'You seem awfully upset. I'm guessing you never got justice for the guy who diddled you? Calling me a "sad fucker fan" or any other of your slurs does not affect me in the least, because like the person who hurt you must have reminded you, you are nothing to me or anyone else. Your pathetic insults aimed at everyone who questions these two just further demonstrates your emotional instability'......Your obvious contempt for CSA survivors is another reason your opinion is invalid, your bias is off the chart , all in all you're a bit of a failure at this. You can drone on all you like, but yours is a futile ambition, Jackson is a pariah now to anyone other than the most blinkered of fanatics.

Um, R9? Even if Jackson slept on the floor, that's not normal. Sheesh, an adult doesn't "hang" with children, share a bed with them, or even a bedroom.

by Anonymousreply 13March 15, 2019 1:10 AM

OP/R9, you're a big fat fail. Jackson's own witnesses in his criminal trial, who were prepped by his attorneys, confirmed they slept in the same bed as him. I posted this already in Part 5:

Macaulay, Wade, and Brett Barnes when testifying *on Michael's behalf* in 2005, all confirmed they slept in the same bed as him multiple times. Wade said at first it was both him and his sister, then later just him. Macaulay said it was him and Kieran (which Michael had also said in the Bashir interview). Brett confirmed most of the time it was just the 2 of them. Brett's testimony (starts at p. 231):

Q. Have you been sharing a bed with him consistently from age nine until age 19?

A. What do you mean by “consistent”?

Q. Well, in all the times that you visit, predominately do you stay in his room, in his bed?

A. Yeah.

Q. Did you do it when you were ten years old as well?

A. Yeah.

Q. Did you do it when you were 11 years old as well?

A. Yes.

Q. Most of the times you did it, there was nobody else in the room; is that correct?

A. I guess you could say that.

R10 I am here to discuss the documentary, not engage in personal attacks with you.

R13 He gave his bed to the children (his guests) and slept on the floor. Michael also grew up sleeping in the same room with his older brothers for multiple years, he was used to it. Not to mention, Wade denied anything sexual ever happened at these sleepovers. He did this as a kid, then later as a 23 year old man under oath again. When did this story change? When he began shopping book proposals and ultimately filed a sealed lawsuit to try and extort a settlement.

R14 Let me get this straight: some of Wade's sworn testimony (as an adult and a child) is valid-just not the part where he denies both times any type of sexual abuse. Did I get that right?

by Anonymousreply 16March 15, 2019 1:26 AM

R16, either you believe Wade was telling the truth in 2005--when prepped by Jackson's attorneys--or you don't. It makes zero sense that he was telling the truth about being molested but randomly lied about shared a bed. Since Culkin and Barnes also said they slept in bed with him, are you now suggesting they lied? That they also told the truth about not being molested but lied about sharing a bed? Even though they also were prepped by Jackson's attorneys?

This is why you're not at all convincing.

by Anonymousreply 17March 15, 2019 1:29 AM

R16, you can spin sharing a room with an underage boy any way you like, doesn't mean it's normal or remotely socially acceptable. Brothers sharing a room isn't the same as an adult sharing a bedroom with an unrelated boy on a regular basis. Why was Jackson so intent upon having a male child as a companion? What's your spin on that?

by Anonymousreply 18March 15, 2019 1:31 AM

This nutter's explanation for why Jackson had endless pre-teen boys in his room at R16 sounds like Jessica Fletcher summing up a case , but only if Jessica had become a pedo excusing Jackson fan...'and that's how I knew Wade had to be the killer!' You're such a joke , see R12 , you have no credibility.

I can’t even imagine how much more intense it is when the person molesting you is ridiculously famous and rich.

by Anonymousreply 25March 15, 2019 1:47 AM

The LIE that Michael never meant sharing an actual bed was concocted after his arrest, when he told Ed Bradley that he never shared a bed with "that child," meaning Gavin Arvizo. But Jackson to Bashir had spoken more generally about "sharing your bed" and it being the most loving thing you can do WITH someone. The Bashir interview and Michael's own witnesses' testimony about it was so damaging--some of the jurors who acquitted Jackson in 2005 said that while they felt the prosecutor didn't prove Michael molested this particular boy (Gavin Arvizo) they believe he likely did molest other boys:

The jury foreman, Paul Rodriguez, said jurors were "very troubled" that Jackson, by his own admission, had overnight sleepovers with children in his bed.

But Rodriguez, a 63-year-old retired high school counselor from Santa Maria, said jurors were instructed by the judge to base their verdicts on the facts of the case, not "our beliefs or our own personal thoughts."

"We would hope ... that he doesn't sleep with children anymore," Rodriguez said on CNN. "He just has to be careful how he conducts himself around children."

At a post-verdict news conference, jurors said that after more than 32 hours of deliberations over seven days, they all agreed prosecutors had simply not proved their case against the pop star beyond a reasonable doubt.

At the news conference, jurors were identified only by their seat number in the courtroom.

"We actually challenged one another in the deliberation room," said Juror No. 1, a 62-year-old man from Santa Maria, later identified as Raymond Hultman. "We challenged the issues, and we came to the decision that pointed to reasonable doubt."

Later, in an interview on "Larry King Live," Hultman said he believes Jackson "probably has molested boys."

"I can't believe that this man could sleep in the same bedroom for 365 straight days and not do something more than just watch television and eat popcorn," he said. "I mean that doesn't make sense to me, but that doesn't make him guilty of the charges that were presented in this case and that's where we had to make our decision."

As they deliberated, jurors kept coming back to the "closetful of evidence" supplied by prosecutors during the 14-week trial, but "it was just not enough," said Juror No. 10, a 45-year-old woman from Solvang, not far from Jackson's Neverland Ranch.

"We expected probably better evidence, something that was a little more convincing. And it just wasn't there," she said.

Rodriguez said jurors did find credible some of the testimony relating to past child molestation allegations against Jackson, which prosecutors were allowed to introduce to try to prove a pattern of behavior.

But he said that testimony wasn't enough to overcome the jury's doubts about the facts in current case.

by Anonymousreply 27March 15, 2019 1:48 AM

R23 You repeat a common lie about Jordan describing Jackson's genitals, of course, we know this is not true. I repeat from Part 4:

We know by now for a fact that Jackson was not circumcised as per his autopsy, released in early 2010. However, it makes sense that if someone were trying to guess whether a particular American male was circumcised or uncircumcised, the more likely option would be “circumcised”, since the majority of American men are, regardless of religion, especially in older generations, like Jackson who was born in the 1950s. It is also worth noting that Jordan’s father Evan Chandler was Jewish and Jordan himself is most likely circumcised. Michael Jackson, however, was not. (After Jackson’s autopsy was published this article was deleted from The Smoking Gun website’s archives, but it still can be found on the Wayback Machine website which is specialized in archiving old websites and Internet articles.)

Some pro-prosecution journalists tried to excuse Jordan’s failure to accurately describe Jackson’s penis by suggesting that perhaps Jordan did not notice the difference between a fully erect uncircumcised penis and a circumcised one. However, the allegations of Jordan Chandler describe not only one occasion of alleged molestation, but a very intense series of sexual contacts, seeing each other naked many times (including in the bath) and many masturbation sessions in front of each other. Jordan’s uncle, Ray Chandler claims in his book, All That Glitters, that his nephew saw Jackson’s genitalia many times, “from every possible angle”:

R24, funny I haven't ever said whether I believe or disbelieve anything Wade said. I'm talking specifically about the fact that 3 of Jackson's own witnesses--which means 2 other people besides Wade--testified they slept in the same bed with Jackson as children, and that it sometimes included their siblings as well.

Why are the only people coming out those with significant financial incentive to do so? Also, why are their timelines, actions, and stories not consistent? The answer is because they are false.

Why is my head about to explode from disgust at anyone who still defends this man? His allure was magic, innocent in and of itself: the concerts; the press; the hype, that once upon a time a lot of people fell for--and those aspects were the first line in for him being able to draw children in. We found out that his true motives were far more sinister.

Turn off the sound in the documentary; forget who testified to what in the past, or didn't, for whatever myriad reasons. Look at the pictures on your screen. Children and other fans in awe; parents beaming with pride from ear to ear having been seduced by his celebrity and special attention. Look at a GROWN-ASS MAN in red footie pajamas in some LITTLE BOY'S BEDROOM, in the child's own family home! Grinning like the Cheshire Cat at what he's able to do and get away with.

Now, think about the parents, eventually isolated from their children. Think about the hallway with the f-ing bells. Think about all of the nefarious--and typical--tactics used to keep children close to him; traveling with kids that weren't his all over the damn world. What grown-ass, well-meaning man lives in world designed to entertain children to such an extent? Completely f that "man reliving his childhood" bullshit. Nobody his age is that innocent or stupid. A lot of people failed the children he molested. But the man was sick, twisted, enabled and guilty, in my opinion, and those words are way too kind.

It's easy to cry "money grab", but he left a lot of real devastation in his wake, for those who spoke up and those who still haven't and maybe never will. And for those he harmed there's not enough money in the world to make up for what he did.

by Anonymousreply 49March 15, 2019 3:02 AM

R49 You are more interested in believing these men than getting to the truth, that is why you see anything/anyone that hurts the allegations or credibility of these people as so disgusting.

The reality is that these stories are simply not credible. The accusers' past behaviors and actions do not mimic an abuse victim, but instead someone who is more interested in a book deal and quietly sealed lawsuit. An abuse victim does not ask to wed at his abuser's home in the middle of his trial. He does not testify well into adulthood on his abuser's behalf. He does beg for employment using his abuser's name well after his death. He does not shop a book deal after being denied a position in one of his abuser's plays. He does not file a sealed lawsuit after years of advocating for his abuser's innocence. It goes on and one.

Why this is the case, I do not know. Maybe you sympathize with one of the accusers, or maybe you just think they are convincing. However, I am sorry to say that there is a tremendous amount of evidence that this is indeed a "money grab," and whether you ignore it or explain it away does make it disappear.

He does not behave like an abuse victim, but an opportunist desperately obsessed with profiting fro his relationship with the MJ.

R68 I added context to your claim in R16. Furthermore, think about it--if Michael Jackson was molesting all of these children, why aren't they coming out in troves like Weinstein's victims? The answer is in R66 among many others.

Agree R68. MJ #1 pedophile. Anyone going to great lengths to attack Wade but not question Michael’s abuse and obsession with young boys as an adult is a sick fuck.

R69 To any rational person, his past behavior makes him look more guilty, but for those lacking common sense, the fact that he's so "damaged" makes him look more credible. It's hard to argue with people who don't apply logic to their arguments and liken starting a thread to being abused.

by Anonymousreply 74March 15, 2019 5:15 AM

R71 R72 R73 R74 Any rational person can clearly see these lies for what they are.

All your replies show is that you are prepared to do mental gymnastics to support Wade and shut down any of his accusers speaking.

However, there will never be a time when his actions become irrelevant in the context of his serious allegations. These actions point to an opportunist and a liar who manufactured a claim to seek financial benefit.

No one is buying your argument that this was all “made up” for financial gain. You still haven’t addressed why Michael was obsessed with creeping and sleeping with SO MANY little boys.

It’s not extortion to use the court system to recoup money from people who have damaged you. It’s actually perfectly common and acceptable.

by Anonymousreply 77March 15, 2019 5:31 AM

R76 I have addressed this many times, including within the last 10 replies. I trust your reading comprehension skills will abound.

R77 Claiming to be a victim of abuse in order to obtain a settlement (quietly) is extortion. His credibility is destroyed, and only recalling abuse 3 decades after it occurred it further proof. Of course, his previous testimony as child and adult are also in direct contradiction of his current narrative. The response to the lawsuit also exposes his many attempts at obtaining financial gain over the years. However, we can allow people who read these threads to come to their own conclusions based on the evidence available.

R48 you're full of shit, trying to score rhetorical points (and failing miserably) and not trying to get at the truth.

No one said they "suddenly remembered." They, after years of holding a secret inside which they'd been endlessly conditioned to hold during their childhood, finally were able to break the mental chains Michael Jackson put around them and admit they were molested by him.

As I have previously stated, the credibility of these individuals is nonexistent. Their past behavior, testimony, and timeline are not representative of abuse victims, but opportunists whose financial motivations for making these claims are apparent to most people.

These two men, in their late 30s and early 40s, have manufactured a rehearsed and calculated story of abuse after nearly two decades of staunch support for Jackson. They both testified under oath as children, and one again as a 23 year old adult man, that no abuse ever happened. Their testimony tells of generosity and peculiarity, as many other of Jackson's "young friends" have stated. The only diversion from their previous testimony now is these fictitious claims, compiled from tabloid books and a twisted imagination.

Robson sought permission to hold his wedding at Neverland -– in the middle of Jackson’s 2005 criminal trial, for which he was acquitted of all charges. Does this sound like the behavior of a sexual abuse survivor? How about using the name of your alleged abuser to secure a job production in "Michael Jackson's ONE," twice? Once denied for that role after abandoning the team the first time, the same accuser in 2012 begin sending emails to himself and his mother, with leading statements like "how long was I with Michael alone before I was back with you guys?" Another email contains debunked tabloid claims from a former maid and security guard, both of whom were fired for wrongdoing and ordered to pay in court for their lies. "Wow. None of that is true" replied Wade's mother, before he presumably stopped her from further destroying his case.

After 8 years of perfecting a story and shopping multiple book proposals, a lawsuit (intentionally under seal) was filed well after the known statute of limitations--all in an attempt to obtain a secret settlement from the Jackson estate. When they declined, In 2015, Robson's case was dismissed by a Los Angeles judge for expected statutory violations. His repeated attempts since then to profit from this alleged abuse are well documented since then. "Finding Neverland" might as well be titled "Finding Money,."

The Jackson's response sums it up best: this is yet another lurid production in an outrageous and pathetic attempt to exploit and cash in on Michael Jackson…Wade Robson and James Safechuck have both testified under oath that Michael never did anything inappropriate toward them. This so called ‘documentary’ is just another rehash of dated and discredited allegations. It’s baffling why any credible filmmaker would involve himself with this project.”

"These two men, in their late 30s and early 40s, have manufactured a rehearsed and calculated story of abuse after nearly two decades of staunch support for Jackson."

This is speculation on your part. You state this as if it's known fact. It isn't.

"They both testified under oath as children, and one again as a 23 year old adult man, that no abuse ever happened. Their testimony tells of generosity and peculiarity, as many other of Jackson's 'young friends' have stated. The only diversion from their previous testimony now is these fictitious claims, compiled from tabloid books and a twisted imagination."

They were both carefully chosen, groomed, and seduced over time. It was drilled into them that they would be in as much trouble as he was if it was ever found out. And, he seduced them in such a way that at the time, they saw nothing wrong with what they were doing with him. In fact, they enjoyed it. They both were, but I think particularly Safechuck, in love with the man. MJ caused them to be in love with him, and the things he could give to them and their families. And they were conditioned to lie about their abuse by the man they loved at ages 7 and 10. I don't need to point out that even though they were in love at the time, and were enjoyed the physical contact, for the most part at the time, doesn't mean that MJ wasn't systematically DESTROYING their chances of living normal, happy, productive lives. And MJ knew that. He didn't care.

"Robson sought permission to hold his wedding at Neverland -– in the middle of Jackson’s 2005 criminal trial, for which he was acquitted of all charges. Does this sound like the behavior of a sexual abuse survivor?"

One who made a name for himself in the industry, and was still under the spell of MJ. I'm sure Wade, at that time, thought he owed his entire career to MJ, and he was not mature enough to come to terms with what MJ had done to him. What MJ had taken from him.

" How about using the name of your alleged abuser to secure a job production in 'Michael Jackson's ONE,' twice? Once denied for that role after abandoning the team the first time, the same accuser in 2012 begin sending emails to himself and his mother, with leading statements like "how long was I with Michael alone before I was back with you guys?" Another email contains debunked tabloid claims from a former maid and security guard, both of whom were fired for wrongdoing and ordered to pay in court for their lies. 'Wow. None of that is true' replied Wade's mother, before he presumably stopped her from further destroying his case."

I don't understand a word of this. What are these emails? What are you saying they say? Can you show them to me? I would bet $1,000 you can't. It's nonsense.

"After 8 years of perfecting a story and shopping multiple book proposals"

Utter bullshit. Where are the book proposals? Who did she shop it to? Who says he did? Are there letters? Show me.

" a lawsuit (intentionally under seal)"

Meaningless. Wade has spilled everything before filing the lawsuit. He was on the Today Show before he filed suit.

"was filed well after the known statute of limitations--all in an attempt to obtain a secret settlement from the Jackson estate. When they declined, In 2015, Robson's case was dismissed by a Los Angeles judge for expected statutory violations. "

There was no hope of a "secret settlement." Wade spilled what happened. That is again speculation on your part, but it's stupid speculation because Wade, loud and clear, went on Today and said he was molested by Michael Jackson. There could be no hope of a settlement after that.

"His repeated attempts since then to profit from this alleged abuse are well documented since then. 'Finding Neverland' might as well be titled 'Finding Money,.'"

Except, he could have made a ton of money by going to some tabloid, or TMZ, and he didn't. He didn't make a cent from Finding Neverland. Again, you're just flat out wrong.

"The Jackson's response sums it up best: this is yet another lurid production in an outrageous and pathetic attempt to exploit and cash in on Michael Jackson…Wade Robson and James Safechuck have both testified under oath that Michael never did anything inappropriate toward them. "

This is my favorite part. You spend 4 long, idiotic paragraphs unsuccessfully trying to discredit Wade, and then, suddenly in the very last one you lump James Safechuck in, who's completely believable, and unimpeachable. You are a piece of work, but not a very smart or convincing one.

"This so called ‘documentary’ is just another rehash of dated and discredited allegations. It’s baffling why any credible filmmaker would involve himself with this project.”

Hmmm no, I'd say 85% of the specifics of the story of how Michael Jackson groomed, seduced, and molested them was unknown before HBO had the courage to air Finding Neverland. And both men are 100% believable. This happened.

So, whoever you are, you make stuff up, and you try desperately to score rhetorical points instead of trying to get to the truth of the matter. Again, I suspect you know damn well Jackson molested these two guys, and you don't care. You see it as an even exchange.

I've known James Safechuck for over 10 years, and I can tell you he was basically destroyed by Michael Jackson. This is a FACT. If you continue to try to call him a liar, you are contributing, and continuing what Michael began. You are helping to destroy a person.

I am working through your reply. Here is the first part of my response. I will split them up to avoid confusing others. My initial comments are indicated by a >>>>>>. My reply to your feedback is notated with +++++++.

>>>>>>>Now you speculate. We have no proof that they were groomed and seduced. Their own sworn testimony however tells they were not. Their actions certainly do not point to abuse either, and their claims to be in love with Michael Jackson, a man they had not spoken with in years, is absurd. One of the two accusers entered into a long-term relationship with another girl, and they both later married other women. Yet, they staunchly supported Jackson.

++++++"Robson sought permission to hold his wedding at Neverland -– in the middle of Jackson’s 2005 criminal trial, for which he was acquitted of all charges.

>>>>>>>>>How was Robson, a 23 year old, “still under the spell of MJ?” He had been in multiple long term relationships since then, and had not spoken to him in some time until he opportunistically sought to benefit from him. This excuse does not hold water.
