I never heard anything about there being actual proof that MJ did anything to a child. I personally don't know if he did or didn't do anything, I'm not his judge and jury. But what I can't wrap my mind around is that he spent personal time with a LOT a LOT a LOT of children over the years. Yet no one can find any proof of him doing anything wrong. Wasn't it 2 people came forward trying to charge him with something, and nothing came of either? I'm sorry, I just don't think anyone is THAT good at hiding a problem like that. I could be wrong of course, but it doesn't make sense.
I know he paid off one of them at least, but I can't imagine MJ going through the whole ordeal for continued months. MY personality might state - "Yeah, just BRING it on, I didn't do anything wrong and you can't prove otherwise!" - but I don't think that's everyone's take. There ARE people out there in the world that cannot mentally and emotionally take THAT kind of spotlight. Entertaining people, making music, dancing like a nut - that's one kind of spotlight. Hateful insinuations that might not be true -
yet damaging to a person no matter WHAT the truth is (which is totally bogus in my book) - is a spotlight some just can't handle.
No matter what, it was the accusers job to bring the proof of wrong doing and the limited time I paid attention, there was no proof. One of the recent articles I read on his death stated the same, nothing was ever found. If MJ being a pedophile turns out to be true, then I hope God will dole out true justice in some form or another. If it's really not true - how sad that he had to pass on with THAT memory left. I can't imagine being accused of such a horrible thing, being innocent of it, yet still being hated for it.
Personally I thougth he was a rather odd duck, but he was odd with himself - Weird pets, weird lifestyle, weird surgery. But - I never walked a mile in his shoes, I never lived his life, I never had an INSANE spotlight on me for 95% of my life. I never had my Father do the things to me that his did to him and the rest of the kids. Regardless, the man was a solid entertainer, a genuis with music and dance. I mean, Fred Astaire admired his talent!. Hehe, when the undeniable Fred gives you props, you KNOW you've arrived!
