i hate so much that those of us who grew up in the 2000s were constantly subjected to such ugly caricatures/depictions of him when he was this beautiful in reality
Anyone that has the Michael Jackson Dangerous Vinyl in Red/Black swirl, is yours skipping on ‘Who is it’ during ‘I gave her passion, my very soul’? I have bought 4 vinyls, 3 from Amazon and one from Juno and they all skip at the exact same place 😭
dangerous is michael’s magnum opus. it’s his most versatile album and it marked a seamless transition into the new jack swing sound while still showcasing his ability to master pop, R&B, rock and gospel.
While Sarajevo war in 1992 wasn’t getting much attention, Michael Jackson still stepped up and donated (47 tons of medical supplies and winter clothing), +2 millions dollars donations and gifts for the children.
Although it's victory day and Michael was vindicated, can we really call it justice? he lived for a mere 4yrs & 12 days. He had to sit in that courtroom for 5 months and watch the prosecution tear his life apart and twist his pure act of innocence into the most vicious crime imaginable. They broke his spirit and killed him 💔
Please read this if you are watching this ‘documentary’ on Netflix or have watched it. Educate yourself!! Stop believing everything the media tells you. The man is no longer here anymore and 17 years after his death they still want money from him. What a sad sad world we live in
Explaining the Michael Jackson allegations (1993 & 2005) for dummies
1. DAD WANTED CASH
July 8: Evan tapes himself: "Give me $20 million or I destroy Michael."
→ Extortion.
2. KID SAID “NO” FIRST
July 9: Jordan alone with investigator: "Michael never touched me."
3. DAD FAKED DOCTOR LETTER
July 14: Lawyer feeds shrink a story → gets “maybe abuse” note.
→ Shrink never saw the kid.
4. KID FLIPS AFTER MONEY FAILS
Aug 4: Michael says no to $20M.
Aug 17: Jordan suddenly says “yes, abuse.”
Evan meets Michael during this period, reads the allegations to his face, and hugs him. Michael still rejects paying.
→ Too late, too fake.
5. COPS RAID – FIND ZILCH
Aug 27: Neverland + 400 witnesses checked by end of investigation.
→ All kids: “Nothing happened.”
→ No photos, no proof.
6. STRIP SEARCH BOMBS
Dec: Cops take naked pics of Michael.
→ Doesn’t match Jordan’s drawing: color wrong, blotches wrong, not circumcised.
→ Only cops saw pics – hid them from the defense & refused to arrest him.
7. MICHAEL PAYS AFTER CASE FALLS APART
Jan 94:
- Jordan: $10-15M in locked trust (parents can’t touch).
- Dad: $1.5M.
- Mom: $1.5M.
→ Paper says “negligence” – NOT abuse.
→ Abuse claims dropped.
8. CASE DIES
1994: 400+ witnesses, 2 grand juries.
→ Jurors: “No evidence.”
→ No charges. Case dropped.
9. DAD & SON FIGHT OVER CASH
2005: Dad beats son → restraining order.
2009: Dad kills himself, broke.
BOTTOM LINE:
Dad wanted $20M → got $1.5M.
Kid said no → then yes for cash.
Cops found nothing.
Strip search failed.
Insurance paid to end circus.
No guilty plea.
Case closed.
MICHAEL WAS INNOCENT.
It was a money scam.
The Arvizos met Michael in fall 2000. The sleepover referenced by Bashir took place that year. They met again in 2002 for the documentary and shortly after the broadcast. The Arvizos willingly defended Jackson 5-7 times to law enforcement during multiple investigations after the documentary and willingly traveled in and out of Neverland.
Between February 14–27, 2003, the Arvizo family was under investigation in California due to claims of potential abuse after the Martin Bashir interview. The case was closed after being ruled unfounded. From February 21 to March 2, Michael Jackson was in Miami, Florida, with his family. He returned home on March 2, stayed two days, then left Neverland for another week at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. He stayed at Neverland March 9–12. The Arvizo family permanently left the ranch and cut all contact on March 12.
The alleged abuse was claimed to have taken place February 14–27, later revised after Sneddon saw Jackson’s alibis to February 21–March 10. However, the abuse allegedly occurred only at Neverland Ranch in California. Michael was in Miami from February 21 to March 2 and away from the ranch again March 5–9.
Sneddon seized all financial records hoping for a paper trail to silence “victims” (failed), digital files hoping for illegal child material (failed). He opened a hotline begging for victims to come forward (nobody did). He allowed tabloid hearsay testimonies to be tried and retried from 1993 through June Chandler and attempted to get Jordan to testify. All of this failed, and they couldn’t provide any evidence across every possible sexual abuse or child endangerment charge.

So so sad that people are watching this documentary and taking everything as gospel before actually doing their own research. This documentary from Netflix is an attempt to continue to ruin him, even after his death, after the release of part 1 of the ‘Michael’ biopic. Disgusting
Imagine making it to the Super Bowl…
only to find out the opposing team has your entire playbook.
That’s exactly what happened to Michael Jackson in 1994, and it’s the part of the story people never talk about.
Let’s clear something up immediately: Jordan Chandler spent months denying anything happened until Evan Chandler, his dad, forced him to make false accusations against Michael.
If Michael Jackson had been guilty, he would have paid Evan Chandler in August 1993, when Chandler first demanded money and threatened to go public. Evan was willing to take $1 million, literal pocket change for Michael.
Ask any reasonable person:
If someone is guilty and wants to avoid an investigation, why wouldn’t they pay the tiny amount being demanded? Michael didn’t pay because he was innocent and believed the truth would protect him.
But justice never got the chance.
Two District Attorneys refused to close the criminal case even after the photos of Michael’s genitalia did not match the Chandler’s description, a description that was forced on Jordan by Evan. Had the description actually matched Jackson would have been arrested right away. He was never arrested. That alone should have ended everything.
Then it got worse.
The judge refused to delay the civil case until after the criminal case, a move that effectively stripped Michael of his constitutional right to a fair trial.
He was forced into a civil battle while the DA watched from the sidelines, taking notes.
And here’s the Super Bowl moment:
The judge allowed prosecutors full access to the civil discovery.
That’s the equivalent of handing your opponent your entire playbook before the biggest game of your life.
At that point, Michael’s back was against the wall. Settling the civil case wasn’t an admission of guilt, it was the only way to keep the DA from using his defense strategy against him. He chose to protect his freedom, instead of his bank account.
And here’s the part the naysayers always ignore:
The settlement did NOT stop the Chandlers from pursuing a criminal case. They could have still pushed for charges.
They didn’t.
As Janet Jackson once said (paraphrasing):
If someone hurt your child, do you take the money and run, or do you fight for justice?
The Chandlers walked away. No criminal trial. No pursuit of justice.
Just a civil payout they were never supposed to get in the first place.
So no, this wasn’t “hush money.”
This was a man trapped in a system that refused to play fair, forced to protect himself when justice failed him.
