Madonna breaks silence over Michael Jackson abuse allegations
Madonna has broken her silence over the Michael Jackson sex abuse allegations, saying "people are innocent until proven guilty".
Two men, James Safechuck and Wade Robson, alleged in graphic detail in a documentary that they were sexually abused as children by the King of Pop.
The Queen of Pop, who took Jackson as her date to the Oscars in 1991, said she has not watched the film Leaving Neverland.
But she told British Vogue: "I don't have a lynch-mob mentality, so in my mind, people are innocent until proven guilty.
"I've had a thousand accusations hurled at me that are not true. So my attitude when people tell me things about people is, 'Can you prove it?'"
Asked what would constitute proof of Jackson's guilt, she replied: "I don't know, I haven't seen the film. "But I guess it would be people recounting actual events - but then, of course, people sometimes lie.
"So I always say, 'What's the agenda? What do people want out of this? Are there people asking for money, is there some kind of extortion thing happening?'
"I would take all of those things into consideration."
She said of the HBO and Channel 4 documentary: "I guess I'll get around to seeing it. I haven't seen it yet."

I sometimes think gay Latinos just drop to their knees or present hole any time a hot man enters the room. Gay Latinos seem to have very little shame when they're horny. They seem to be a very goal oriented group.

She defended Tom Cruise and Scientology and still supports Roman Polanski.

Yes. Exactly. Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. And who you callin' a dumbfuck? Rage much? Innocent until proven guilty, you nasty little bitch. Nasty mobs don't get to do the proving.
[quote]How do you expect sexual abuse victims to prove something?
I leave that to law enforcement and the courts to decide. They rule on these cases year round. How about you, you rageaholic? Do you believe that, because this subject rattles your personal baggage, that you just [italic]know[/italic] better than professional investigators?
[quote]It’s he said he said.
Yes. [italic]EXACTLY[/italic].

Cuntface called Jackson a "space alien drag queen", so I guess she's kind of a hypocrite.

You'd have to be pretty naive at this point not to realise there are ambulence chasing lawyers latching on to sexual abuse cases. I'm not talking about the pioneers who devoted their careers to exposing pedophilia in the Catholic church or or systematic child abuse in orphanages. But the third rate Gloria Allreds who work up dodgy cases against any big name to collect headlines and moolah.
That said, I do think the evidence against Jackson is much stronger than most celebs.

So I guess she’s also repudiating #metoo? After all, according to her, you’re innocent until proven guilty.
It’s interesting timing for her to make noise about this now — when her music is failing to get traction on the charts ....

The exits are plainly marked. Take your fat, female, fifty year plus asses and leave.

I'm with her. I give no credibility to anyone who swore on a bible at his trial, when there was an opportunity to put him away, but said he wasn't guilty, who then when he's dead and can't defend himself comes out with accusations now.
He was not a child the first time. An opportunist in my opinion.

Fuck off R37 the average male child sex abuse victim takes 26 years to disclose the abuse. MJ's victims lied to protect him because he brainwashed them. I know- my paternal grandfather did the same to me. Jackson was a vile, disgusting monster but the people who excuse his paedophila are worse.

See, r40, this is where your lunacy starts to show itself; nobody here is excusing actual abuse. But you're so gone that you can't discern the nuances of rational conversation.
On the other hand, I don't care whether you were abused or you weren't . It doesn't give crazy persons like you license to go around throwing tantrums on message boards every time someone disagrees with you.
And as stated above, women aren't welcome here in the first place, so why don't you pack up your rabid dog routine and get the fuck out.
Get counseling, get meds, get lost.

Madonna is a total idiot and a cunt. A president cannot kick a radio host out of the country just because they don’t like the host’s jokes.
She’s so goddamn Trumpian. And will be a footnote thankfully because younger people would never listen to her.

She’s so thirsty. If she were a nonentity, I’d feel for her, but now she just comes across as desperate for attention. All this time she kept silent about the allegations against Jackson because she was getting plenty of publicity from her own stuff. Now, with bad record sales I and no new projects on the horizon, she wants to use Jackson’s corpse to ride a wave of publicity. It’s sad. This is even worse than promising oral sex to people who voted Democrat. I’m really starting to dislike Madonna.

R45 really? Hate her all you want, but I've always thought that Madonna's only redeeming personal quality was that she was seemingly a good parent, at least by showbiz standards. She moved to Portugal to help her son pursue his soccer dreams which shows a LOT of devotion, and when Lourdes was a little girl she wanted to act, but her mother wouldn't allow her to become involved in Hollywood as a child.
Just because she and Rocco had a falling out doesn't make Madonna a bad mother.

Good interview with MJJ nephew Taj, who seems to be the family spokesman. I bet he knows more than he can legally tell about those two grifters.

R47, he knows nothing at all about James Safechuck. In fact taj told by the estate to be quiet and not give interviews because they thought he’d do damage to Michael Jackson’s brand.

All Taj knows is that his rent is being paid by the MJ estate, and since he doesn't want to get a real job, he needs to keep speaking publicly about things he knows nothing about.

Who's the dumb fucking cunt who doesn't know the most basic things about the law and the presumption of innocence. Is that you r26? Why yes, yes it is.
Innocent until proven guilty is for judges and juries, directly related to their ability to render judgement in each individual case to which they are assigned. People not on juries and who are not judges have no such duty. Haven't you taken even a basic law class? Fucking moron.

Of course not, r51. You're completely unqualified to make such choices, so you choose mob justice.
You're female, fat, and fifty (at least). Abide by the rule of Law, instead of your own personal rule of rage.
