have any of the kids who went to Neverland/were with Michael spoken out in favour of Michael besides Macaulay Culkin? Or have any of them straight up said that the allegations were false? I’m genuinely asking this, not trying to argue or anything.
The accusers have never publicly stated the allegations they made were false. There are witnesses that were on the witness list for Jackson’s defense in the 2005 criminal trial who were listed because they were willing to testify against Jordan Chandler, the first accuser, stating he told them privately that Michael never molested him. The defense had prepared 500 witnesses. Jordan Chandler never showed up and told the FBI he would legally fight any attempt to make him testify against Jackson, so these witnesses did not testify against him to state what he allegedly told them in private.
This is listed in Michael Jackson’s FBI files.
Jordan Chandler’s name is redacted, but he was the only accuser of Jackson that did not testify.
Many children that knew Michael have spoken out in defense of him. And many of them testified IN his trial, including Brett Barnes. Brett Barnes quit his job and flew from Australia to testify for Jackson. Wade Robson, the posthumous accuser, was Jackson’s star witness. Aka, his first witness. Wade’s mother also testified in defense of Jackson.
Others also defended Jackson, like Dave Dave (who Michael took care of for decades), whose father set him on fire. He knew Michael as a child and an adult.
Brett Barnes still defends Jackson to this day.
Other people that knew him as kids, including girls, defend him. Paris Hilton, for one. Daughters of employees he had, whom testified. His niece Brandi, whom dated Wade Robson for nearly a decade and in some of those years he now claims he was abused. Sage Galesi, the little native girl in his Black or White video, also defends Michael. And countless others.
Aaron Carter also defended Michael, and went so far as to threaten to beat the shit out of Wade over this when Leaving Neverland came out.
Talun Zeitoun, another boy, defended Michael, stating “I was a boy in Michael Jackson’s life, and nothing of what he’s being accused of in this documentary happened! I urge you to make it your undying responsibility to seek truth and acknowledge all sides in your consumption of how Michael is being depicted in this film. The capitalization of circumstance, divisive use of content and manipulation of media — all combined with rising false senses of entitlement — can quickly nullify a verdict and forever challenge truth to favor the other. This is the loophole with our digital ecosystem that actually determines one’s fate and this is the precise mechanism Leaving Neverland is using, especially when money is at stake. It will ultimately destroy his family, defame his legacy and eradicate his artistry. If you think this little loophole won’t take it that far, well, for starters: it’s already killed Michael Jackson.”
Bryton James defended Michael stating “Over our 15 year friendship, neither I or my family ever witnessed Michael Jackson conduct himself inappropriately with a minor, or anyone for that matter. & during the time I worked with Mr. Robson as a child, he never once mentioned any wrong doing.”
Sean Lennon defended Michael stating “Since when has a bit of respect and humility become so hard to come by? What happened to decency? To speak ill of a great man in the wake of his death, to do so is a most repugnant act. It brings shame upon all of us. Glass houses everywhere. I’m talking about a close friend of my family, a great man who is a hero to many. He was also my friend personally so could you please take your ‘energy’ elsewhere? No one is sainting a monster, we are celebrating a genius’ life. We loved him. Millions loved him.”
Emmanuel Lewis defended Michael stating “I don’t usually pay attention to allegations anymore. You know how long this stuff has been going on? Decades!! Fabrication of lies with one real intent $$$. Let’s be 100% clear here I was never a victim. My big Bro Michael has been nothing but kind and a role model to me and my family. I suggest you pick a subject you really know because obviously you don’t know Michael and you don’t know me. Spread peace not false rumours.”
Yoshi Levine has defended Michael legally, and so has his mother, even against Wade and James and their continued litigation after Jackson’s death. They have both testified denying their claims.
Here is a video of Wade Robson defending Michael as a child along with his family. Not shown in this video is Wade going on to say, in regards to Michael being accused: “I think it’s sick because I know Michael wouldn’t do anything like that! I know that for a FACT!”
I’d literally be here all night if I listed every person that has defended Michael Jackson. Both girls and boys, men and women, mothers and fathers. All of them have defended Jackson. And all of Michael’s accusers have changed their stories.
All of his accusers, including Jordan Chandler, originally denied the allegation that he abused them.
