Living with Michael Jackson Part 5 of 10

Living with Michael Jackson is a documentary, in which British journalist Martin Bashir interviewed Michael Jackson over a span of 8 months, from May 2002 to January 2003. It was shown first in the UK on 3 February 2003 and in the US three days later on ABC, introduced by Barbara Walters.
Martin Bashir put the proposal to Jackson as a way to show the world the truth about him and make nothing off limits. Jacksons decision to make the documentary was made on the suggestion by his close friend Uri Geller. It later emerged that Geller had turned down another bid for the interview by journalist Louis Theroux. The interview was very unusual, as it had been extremely rare for Jackson to allow such access to his personal life, or to talk so freely about his traumatic childhood. Nevertheless, he did show some reserve when asked to discuss other personal issues, such as the plastic surgery he has had.

Jackson felt betrayed by Bashir and complained that the film gives a distorted picture of his behaviour and conduct as a father. He claims that Bashir, in the final version of his interview, used only that material which supported Bashirs opinion of Jackson, which was not a favorable one.
Jackson filed complaints with the UKs Independent Television Commission and the Broadcasting Standards Commission.
Jacksons lawyers claimed in a British High Court case against Martin Bashir and Granada TV that the documentary was a breach of contract and breach of confidence. The proceedings were put on hold when Jackson was charged with 10 felony counts in late 2003, but the proceedings could continue after since Jacksons acquittal. However this is unlikely following his death.
Ann Kite, a public relations consultant hired by Jacksons advisers to counter negative publicity, called the documentary a PR-disaster.

@PopesOfDullNazi its funny. ive looked at the names of these "haters" and they are all the same. the following lowlifes are: MrEverydoghasitsday, DeadOzone, Onestonedgroove and YOU. But you are right, you and the other three go to every MJ video just to post your childish shit because you have nothing better to do.

@CandEeNtErTaInMeNt haha yea forgot how you two were best mates well if thats what you say it must be true sorry everyone wacko and gary glitter are no A OK in my book

p.s course i would have killed myself the second i realized i was a pedo, peace out

[CandEeNtErTaInMeNt]

@MrEverydoghasitsday Everything is a lie. Newspapers and tabloids get more readers if they post dirt on celebrities like Michael. The pedophile trash? A kid's parents got money hungry and told the police BAD things. He had no childhood so he bought toys along with Neverland Ranch. How can you sleep at night? He was a mistreated man that is now dead. I guarantee if you were in his position you would've killed yourself a long time before 2009.

When you watch LWMJ-Part 8 of 10, you hear Gavin gushing about what a swell time he had sleeping in MJ's bed when suddenly, MJ abruptly cuts in! Apparently, Gavin wasn't sticking to his alibi faithfully enough and Jacko felt the need to point out, "BUT I SLEPT ON THE FLOOR!! What was I in, a sleeping bad or something?" Gavin answers, "No, you had a pile of blankets to sleep on!"

Gavin and MJ’s recollection of what he slept on DON’T MATCH!!

[pokutti4]

when he said i would lyk to live forever a tear just rolled ! :'D

By the way, MICHAEL JACKSON WILL LIVE FOREVER in the hearts of all who loved him no matter how many people don't like it!
