Living with Michael Jackson Part 2 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.

Evan Chandler got what he was after! He didn’t want to send MJ to prison! If he did, he wouldn’t have sued him, he would’ve filed criminal charges! He was looking for a big payout! Jordan didn’t follow through with criminal charges cuz he loved his abuser! Evan Chandler accomplished 2 things: He made himself and his son very rich men and broke MJ and his little butt-buddy up! One of the terms of the settlement is that Jordie had to stay away from his sugar daddy!!

ELVIS PRESLEY WAS THE REAL PEDOPHILE!! HE WAS A 24 YEAR OLD WHO DATED 14 YEAR PRISCILLA. SOMEONE WHO KNEW ELVIS EVEN SAID HE WAS HAVING SEX WITH 13 YEAR OLDS BEFORE HE MET PRISCILLA. THE MEDIA SURELY LOVES KEEPING SECRETS, DON'T THEY? DO YOUR RESEARCH HATERS AND STOP BEING LAZY. ELVIS IS IN HELL. HE DID DRUGS AND DIED ON HIS TOILET, HE HAD GROUP SEX WITH YOUNG WOMEN. MICHAEL JACKSON DIDN’T DO ANYTHING TO THOSE CHILDREN, YOU HATERS HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED LIKE SHEEP

@ManFromMelbourne money can also make cases though. The father who first accused Jackson had issue that Jackson wouldn't entertian songs he had written and accepted a pay off (?!). The second family- who praise him unreservedly in this doc- were proven repeated welfare fraudsters and, given the first allegations and the fact they let their kids stay at Jacksons home, had an open door to make some cash. There was a trial remember; and there was not a shred of evidence to back their claims.

@OneStonegrooved You know that what i said is true. You need a doctor.I m sure that Murray can help you .

[OneStonegrooved]

@Openmindeism - Actually, that's a textbook definition of a pedophile.

Take it up with them.

[Openmindeism]

@OneStonegrooved YOU ARE A MOLESTED CHILD! LOOK AT YOU .YOU WANT MJ TO BE A PEDO ONLY COZ YOU HAVE BEEN VIOLATED. OR MAYBE YOU ARE A PEDO AND IF YOU SLEEP WITH A CHILD IN BED,YOU RAPE HIM.  In this case, NOT everyone thinks like you.

[OneStonegrooved]

@michaelJ636 - Rich children or children of rich celbrity parents weren't MJ's prey. Underprivledged children from low income families were.

You know, people he could win their loyalty by buying them lots of expensive gifts?

Typically, they're single men, over the age of 30, feels more at home with children than people his own age, obsessed with children of a certain age and gender,

...uses toys and gifts to attract kids to him, showers them with attention and affection, tends to pick children who are troubled, vulnerable and easy to manipulate. Their goal is to lure them into their net, groom them, seduce them, gain their trust and have the child "willingly" submit to the abuse.
