Although it is nearly 11 years ago that the pop star of all pop stars died at a too young age, rests gravfreden still not over Michael Jackson. And fans raging. Again.
‘don’t Waste time on that shit. He has been dead for nearly 11 years, and this ruthless bunch refuses to let him be in peace, trying constantly to score the box to vilify him and sell the lies. I know who the real Michael Jackson was,’ which of the many fans thunders on Twitter.
In the centre of the opblussede debate is the new documentary ‘The Real Michael Jackson’, which recently was shown on BBC2.
It comes a year after the controversial ‘Leaving Neverland’, where several alleged victims of Michael Jackson’s sexual abuse stood forward with their harrowing stories.
Such revelations are not to be found in ‘The Real Michael Jackson’. In turn provide the that question, many probably have done. ‘How could I overlook it?’
“Is he a pedophile? That is the question, which should have been made. I ask it not. It is a defeat, and my great regret,” says the filmmaker himself, according to the Express.
Jacques Peretti called he and has in the past made no fewer than three documentaries about popikonet. All borne of his own excitement of the music and Michael Jackson himself.
But just ‘Leaving Neverland’ was an eye-opener for him, and in his fourth film about the popikonet seek out he other declared fans, who like himself had ample opportunity to go the superstar and his entourage on the blade.
According to several English media is the american author J. Randy Taraborrelli one of them. He was – and still is – declared fan of Michael Jackson, who even was his childhood friend.
‘In the 40 years he was Michael Jackson’s confidential’, reads one of slaglinjerne from his best-selling biography of Michael Jackson, from 1991, which was published in several updated versions, most recently in 2009.
In ‘The Real Michael Jackson’ recognises the island, however, that he sometimes found the superstar and his relationship with the kids ‘weird’.
He remembers the first time he saw Michael Jackson hanging out in the backyard with a 12-year-old boy.
“The silly around, laughed and had wrestling on the basketball court. It seemed quite unusual,” says J. Randy Taraborrelli, who asked his friend straight out, why he hung out with a child.
‘I like him, he’s funny, a good actor, and I think that I can teach him some tricks about underholdningsverdenen,’ came the answer from Michael Jackson, according to Metro UK.
Taraborrelli confronted her friend, that he thought it was just legal strange that a man in the 20’s had friends at 12, but accepted, without further ado, Michael Jackson’s explanation.
“At no time saw I it as something sexual,” says Taraborrelli.
the First time, Michael Jackson was accused of sexual abuse of a minor, was back in 1993, when he was 35. But the star escaped for the prosecution, when he settled with the boy’s family, for which he paid 23 million. dollar.
10 years later repeated the allegations about his relationship with the small boys were not so innocent, truly up again, but at a trial in 2005 was the star acquitted.
But was he innocent? ‘Leaving Neverland’ left most in doubt. However, not plenty of hardcore fans. Not the J. Randy Taraborrelli.
“I saw it not with an open mind,” he admits in the documentary. “If it had not been Michael Jackson, the talked about, I might have felt different.”
