This is something I found interesting. Copied & pasted from another site:

For those who say Michael is a pedophile… more news
After the sudden death of Michael Jackson Evan Chandler tells the truth.

In 1993, Chandler told a psychiatrist and police that he and Jackson had engaged in sexual acts that included oral sex, the boy gave detailed description of Jackson’s genitals. The case was settled out of court for a reported $22 million, but the strain led Jackson to begin taking painkillers. Eventually he became addicted.

Now maybe for the remorse of his death Chandler decides to tell us the truth. ” I never meant to lie and destroy Michael Jackson but my father made me to tell only lies. Now i can’t tell Michael how much i’m sorry and if he will forgive me ”.Evan Chandler was tape-recorded saying amongst other things, “If I go through with this, I win big-time. There’s no way I lose. I will get everything I want and they will be destroyed forever…

Under the influence of a controversial father (Jordan Chandler) told his son to tell that Jackson had touched his penis.Jordan Chandler then told a psychiatrist and later police that he and Jackson had engaged in acts of kissing, masturbation and oral sex, as well as giving a detailed description of what he alleged were the singer’s genitals.
” Now for the first time i can’t bare to lie anymore. Michael Jackson didn’t do anything to me, all was my father lies to escape from being poor.”

RIP Michael Jackson, you were truly a BEAUTIFUL SOUL of a person, caring, kind, & so often MISUNDERSTOOD. The LIGHT in this TRAGIC situation is that your SOUL is finally FREE from this CRUEL, CRUEL, SOCIETY & COLD, COLD WORLD.

These new crop of so-called friends who deserted him when he needed them can shove it where the sun don’t shine pathetic individuals..

Dear King,

I HOPE & PRAY that wherever you are, your SOUL is RESTING IN PEACE, because
lord knows you deserve it. After all the verbal brutal attacks you’ve indured prior 2 your death. I get a huge lump in my throat when I think of the hell you were put through, but that’s ok, because GOD has your back now, and none of these wrinkle face bastards can hurt u ever again. So u just rest your precious little soul now. I selfishly wish you still were here, but I’m glad you’re in a better place. You will always be the “KING OF MUSIC” period. I’ll love you 4ever & always.

your “GOD’S ANGEL” now. ONE!!!

It anger me so much aswell. That people branded him a molester. When it hit the net that he passed away. I posted my comment but i saw some people on ”Here”. Saying ”how they didnt support him” because of what he done. The charges were dropped, everything was false.
Jordan Chandler has come forward and said he lied and wished he could if asked forgivness from MJ. Well I dont want to ”Curse”. Darn Poltronns.But Jordan & Evan Chandler ”To Little To Late”

Some people digest anything the media throw at them. He was going to come to London in July. I wanted to meet him. I dont him personally. But his music had substance.He helped people out. He was more than a entertainer!…

#29 that is so disgusting that they put MJ through that whole ordeal which would lead to him being labeled a pedifile. That kid is just as wrong as his dad for doing MJ like that. I hope they can be prosecuted for all that. Damn shame.

Only God can judge. Only God knows what’s in our hearts.

Everytime someone mentions the allegations, I ignore it, bc bottom line is, his death has hurt my heart. He was a major part of my childhood. I danced my ass off to his songs and couldn’t sleep in the dark for years after watching Thriller.

I never met him, but I had plans to see him on his last tour and now I can’t.

Watch the We Are The World video and you will be reminded of how he bridged so many cultures through his music. He raised 50 million for Africa after making that song. And EVERY damn body was singing on that track; from every musical genre….are there any songs like that out????? NOPE! When I was younger he was just an entertainer to me. But now as an adult I realize all the social impact he has made. I will continue to focus on the positive social impact he has made.

MJ is the best artist and like someone else said, he’s not ONE of the greatest, he IS the greatest.

…Smooth Criminal is on again; gotta go, R.I.P. Micheal. I love you forever.

I tell u, white people isn’t nothing but devils, can’t turn your back on them for 1 minute. Already Debbie Rowe is telling reporters the children are not Michael’s. People have no respect anymore, can’t the man at least be laid to rest first. That oldest boy looks like to Michael to me, the girl look more like Debbie. I have never seen Blanket, except for his hair. They’re his children to me, he raised them, loved them and cherished them. Rest In Peace MJ and I can’t wait for the Awards.

@ 50

that was not neccesary .I love michael. Because he is like no other. He never created seperationI have not seen any other artist do that. Artist always seem to target to somone.attach themselves to target. Michael was free. He had Asians in his videos, whites, Indians and blacks. Many more. Not all whites are like that. Just them darn chandler poltroons.Debbie. I know she doesnt have right for custody.she signed them over. You cannot believe the media. Look at what B.S they did to michael. If take anything from him that is - he was a musical genius but also a prominent humanitarian.He loved his fan (many artists today just all about the money)- he didnt see them for their race. He helped so many. I’m indian aswell. My whole family loves him. Dont matter if your black or white. His soul was beautiiful.

IT IS TRUE DEBBIE ROWE HAS GIVEN AN INTERVIEW SAYING THEY ARE NOT HIS BIOLOGICAL KIDS. SHE WILL TRY TO FIGHT FOR CUSTODY AS THE BIOLOGICAL MOTHER. THE KIDS ARE ENTITLED TO HIS ESTATE SO IT IS ALL ABOUT MONEY. SHE NEVER WANTED THEM BEFORE SO WHY NOW? THEY WERE HIS KIDS TO ME NO MATTER WHAT BECAUSE HE RAISED THEM, LOVED THEM, AND NURTURED THEM. EVERYONE SAYS HE WAS SUCH A GREAT FATHER. NO ONE HAS EVER SAID ANYTHING BUT GREAT THINGS ABOUT HIM AS A PARENT. HIS KIDS WERE HIS ONE TRUE JOY.
I WAS WATCHING CNN AND THEY TALKED ABOUT HOW THE GIRL (PARIS) WAS SCREAMING “NO, NO, NO DADDY NO!!” WHEN THEY TOLD HER HE DIED AND THAT MADE ME SO SAD! WHERE WILL THEY GO NOW? AND WHO WILL LOVE THEM LIKE THEIR FATHER? PLUS THE YOUNGEST (BLANKET) ISN’T DEBBIE ROWE’S SO WILL THE 3 BE SPLIT UP? HOW TRAGIC!

ALL THE PEOPLE THAT MADE FALSE ACCUSATIONS ABOUT MICHAEL ARE THE REASON HE IS DEAD! I BLAME THEM ALL! BEING ACCUSED OF HURTING A CHILD IS THE ONE THING THAT WOULD HURT HIS FEELINGS THE MOST. HE LOVED KIDS MORE THAN ANYTHING. ALL KIDS. AFTER THAT TRIAL IS WHEN HE STARTED TAKING THOSE PILLS TO DULL THE PAIN. HE WAS NEVER THE SAME AGAIN. THEY HURT HIS HEART AND HIS SPIRIT WITH THEIR LIES! I HOPE THEY ALL BURN IN HELL!

Yes that pic is definitely from keep it in the closet! I always loved that video! He and Naomi Campbell! That was such a hot video! He looked hot & so did she! I was like owww get it Michael lol! This is one of the times I thought he was sexy! Yes I said sexy! That video, the whole Thriller era, Smooth Criminal and the Rock With You video were all the times I said to myself Mike could get it! The way he moved his body and hips! Yes I had him plastered all over my walls! I loved Mike and I always will! He was my first boyfriend (in my mind)lol!

R.I.P. my beautiful baby Michael. You are such a wonderful, gentle, caring soul. You just had no idea how cold and cruel this world could be. You trusted too many people and they took advantage of you. I wish I could have saved you. No one ever protected you..even as a child. That is such a shame. Rest now and continue to smile that beautiful smile that you (and Janet) always had. I will always love you and you will never be forgotten. You are The King!

@Hyabusa Rider, Thank u so much 4 that. Especially the last paragraph, I was thinking the exact same thing, but I was afraid 2 say it, because I didn’t want to be accused of pointing the finger in the wrong direction. So instead, I tried 2 talk around it, but you’ve giving me the strength 2 go straight at it. So here I go………..

So many greats have left us - James Brown, Bernie Mac, Isaac Hayes, and others, but no one ever affected me like the death of MJ. I’m heartbroken. We’ve lost a true legend. There will never be one like him now or in the future. He revolutionized and changed the face of music. We miss you, Mike. RIP, brother! :-(

The song was called “Keep It In the Closet” because that is what he was trying to do his entire career concerning his true nature and sexuality. For the people in the know who understand how “TIME” magazine, an Illuministic publication, operates, notice that they have his head framed under the “M” in “TIME” to symbolize him being a devil-worshiper. This trick was caught onto when Bill Clinton was on the cover years ago, and a big deal was made about it. In reality, it is done with all big “stars” because they all are in the same cult.

I love the cover that’s one of my favorite video shots of MJ. He looked so good and fresh faced, I will miss him so much im still deeply sad. His fans loved him so much just looking at videos of his u can tell, all the people crying at his concerts, girls practically ripping their hair out. His music and talent are one of a kind. I grew up with his music I feel like a part of me is gone as well. Love u MJ.

Nice cover, Michael looks good in that pic. That pic is from my favorite video “In the closet”. Mike’s tragic death has effected me greatly and I am so sorry to see a true talent leave this earth too soon. Despite his bizarre actions and looks, it seems Mike was a truly good person and a REAL talent that is surely gonna be missed!!! It’s too bad it took his death for him to go back to the top of the charts.

Yes, this was the song with Naomi Campbell ,”Keep It in the Closet” which was made into a love song between man and female despite the connotation of “In the Closet” But at the end of the day I do not give a darn of what Michael Jackson private life was. His music helped me in my life. I met my first love around the time “The Way You Make Me Feel” became my first love saronade that song to me.

I am soo crushed. Michael Jackson was part of my personal life. We had a relationship even though I have never met him. He impacted me in so any ways. A sensless death. He wanted to escape the pain of being falsly accused. I hate all those vultures that took advantage of him, stoled money, laughed at him, be littled him.

Yes he hid. He did not like himself. He had a dysmorphic body image problem obssessive compulsive disorders, (spending, plastic surgeries), and other issues. He was hurting so inside, which showed exteriorly. He numbed the pain and became reclusive. He felt safe with children because They were like him innocent.
The media practically destroyed this man. They tried to destroy Janet, but she took those negative energies and went another direction and was so graceful with it.

I hope people will finally understand that this man was ahead of his time. Such a gentle soul. A vulnerable soul. Rest now Michael so no can hurt you anymore. I enjoyed my life with your music and dance….
