Taj Jackson startet Crowdfunding Campagne, um einen Dokumentarfilm über Michael zu machen!

    Schade Sarah...., Du bist eigentlich eine tolle Sängerin. Von Englisch auf Deutsch zu wechseln, war meiner Meinung nach das Beste was Du machen konntest.


    Dein Song "Vincent"...., man was habe ich dieses Lied schon rauf und runter gehört....! Ich habe mich daher sehr auf Dein neues Album gefreut.


    Hätte ich allerdings geahnt, wie FALSCH Du bist, ich hätte es mir nicht gekauft.

    Sehr sehr enttäuschend Sarah, dass hätte ich nicht von Dir gedacht.

    Ich hätte Dir echt mehr Menschenkenntnis zugetraut.

    Ich hätte erwartet, dass Du Dich informierst und diese Idioten durschaust. Beides hast Du offensichtlich NICHT getan.

    Du springst einfach auf den fahrenden Zug drauf und urteilst über einen Menschen, der sich nicht mehr wehren kann. Ein Mensch, von dem Du seit Deiner Jugend angeblich ein so großer Fan warst.


    Und jetzt lässt Du genau diesen Menschen eiskalt fallen. Wegen 2 Typen die Lügen wie gedruckt (falsche Angaben etc.) und keine Beweise haben.

    Und alles was vorher war (Prozess etc.) zählt für Dich plötzlich nicht mehr?????????

    Traurig, dass eine fast 40jährige Frau nicht in der Lage ist zu recherchieren.


    Du solltest Dich in Grund und Boden schämen Sarah.

    Bei mir bist Du auf jeden Fall unten durch.

    .. der gute .. allerbeste! TM ...

    Michael Jackson's Lawyer Thomas Mesereau Claims 'Leaving Neverland' Controversy is 'Just a Blip' (Exclusive)

    Michael Jackson's Lawyer Thomas Mesereau Claims 'Leaving Neverland' Controversy is 'Just a Blip' (Exclusive)


    "It will go up, and then go down, and then you'll forget about it."


    The controversy surrounding documentary "Leaving Neverland" is "just a blip" according to Michael Jackson's former lawyer.


    Thomas Mesereau, who successfully defended the late King of Pop against similar accusations in 2004, told TooFab exclusively that the damning HBO documentary will soon be forgotten about.


    "I think his outstanding qualities will win out," he said on Wednesday night. "He was a great artist, a great person, honest, decent... I think in the end all the good qualities of Michael Jackson will prevail."


    This is just a temporary blip; it will go up, and then go down, and then you'll forget about it."


    The celebrity attorney has represented many controversial figures throughout his career, including Bill Cosby, Mike Tyson and Suge Knight. But it was Jackson's not guilty verdict in his child molestation trial involving 13-year-old Gavin Arvizo that Mesereau is most famed for.


    "People should just focus on his great qualities: his charitable endeavors, his humanitarianism, his great artistry, he was an exceptional human being and a very good human being, and all his good qualities are going to prevail," he added.


    When asked about the fans who are demanding proof of his innocence before they listen to his music again, Mesereau replied: "Look at the jury verdict."


    In June of 2005, 18 months after he was arraigned, Jackson was cleared of all charges, including four counts of molesting a minor, four counts of intoxicating a minor to molest him, one count of attempted child molestation, one count of conspiring to hold the boy and his family captive, and conspiring to commit extortion and child abduction.


    Clouds have once again gathered above the superstar's legacy in the wake of the "Leaving Neverland" documentary, in which two men, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, allege they were sexually abused as children.


    Jackson's family have denied the allegations, and are currently suing HBO over a 30-year-old non-disparagement clause.

    John Ziegler und Charles Thomson über Leaving Neverland und die mediale Berichterstattung

    by Doris


    John Ziegler ist ein US-amerikanischer Journalist, Dokumentarfilmer und Radio/Podcast-Host.

    Charles Thomson ist ein mehrfach ausgezeichneter britischer Journalist.

    Quelle: https://player.fm/series/free-…9-04-14-1-charles-thomson

    John Ziegler: … Zuerst möchte ich über Michael Jackson und Leaving Neverland sprechen, da wir wahrscheinlich mehr Arbeit darin investiert haben als so ziemlich jeder andere in Amerika; was für ein Betrug dieser HBO-Film wirklich ist. Und ich habe bereits erwähnt, dass es in Großbritannien einen britischen investigativen Journalisten namens Charles Thomson gibt, der im Grunde in fast jeder Hinsicht ein Seelenverwandter von John Ziegler ist, aber insbesondere in Bezug auf Leaving Neverland und dem schrecklich haarsträubendem Umgang der Medien damit, und so bat ich Charles, ins Programm zu kommen. Er hat freundlicherweise zugestimmt und schließt sich uns von außerhalb Londons an. Charles Thomson, willkommen beim Podcast.

    Charles Thomson: Danke für die Einladung.

    John Ziegler: Vielen Dank, dass Du bei uns bist. Ich habe Deine Arbeit aus der Ferne bewundert, nicht nur im Jackson-Fall, sondern auch über die Medien im Allgemeinen. Während wir also dort anfangen, gib uns so schnell wie möglich einen Einblick in Deinen umfangreichen Background im Jackson Fall sowie auch in anderen Fällen von Kindesmissbrauch, die Du untersucht hast.

    Charles Thomson: Okay, ich arbeite derzeit als Chefreporter bei einer großen Zeitungsreihe von Regionalzeitungen. In Großbritannien gibt es den Yellow Advertiser, der quer durch Essex und East London vertrieben wird, also eine große Anzahl an Ausgaben, die wöchentlich zu Hunderttausenden erscheinen und ein Teil meines Jobs besteht aus investigativen Berichten und Verbrechens- und Gerichtsberichten, und so behandelte ich während meiner Zeit dort eine Vielzahl von Fällen, einschließlich Kindesmissbrauchsfällen, einschließlich Kindermorden, und mein Background im Michael Jackson Fall reicht in die Zeit vor meiner Arbeit in der Regionalpresse zurück, als ich ein freiberuflicher Autor war und mir 2010 in der Michael Jackson Welt zum fünften Jahrestag des Urteils im Michael Jackson Prozess einen Namen gemacht habe. Ich verbrachte ein paar Monate damit, die Transkripte zu lesen oder erneut zu lesen und verglich diese mit dem Zeitungs- und Fernseharchiv. Ich schaute mir die Zeugenaussagen an bestimmten Tagen an und verglich sie mit der Art und Weise, wie in den Medien darüber berichtet wurde. Für die Huffington Post schrieb ich einen Artikel, in dem es um diese Diskrepanz ging und dass die Berichterstattung der Medien wirklich falsch und unglaublich voreingenommen war. [-> Eine beschämende Episode in der Mediengeschichte; Anm.d.Übers.]

    John Ziegler: Um das ganz deutlich zu sagen, denn ich bekomme das selbst immer zu hören, wenn man eine konträre Stimme hat, besonders in einem Kindesmissbrauchs-Fall: Die Leute denken, man ermöglicht Kindesmissbrauch oder schlimmeres, aber Du bist tatsächlich genau das Gegenteil. Du wurdest für Deine Arbeit in anderen Fällen von Kindesmissbrauch ausgezeichnet, also gib uns ein Gefühl dafür, wie sich der Fall Michael Jackson von anderen Fällen unterscheidet, die Du behandelt hast, besonders in Bezug auf das Fehlen von Beweisen gegen ihn.

    Charles Thomson: Nun, ich meine, der Hauptunterschied ist – und das liegt hauptsächlich daran, wer Michael Jackson ist – dass es in keinem anderen Fall, über den ich je berichtet habe, ein riesiges Multi-Millionen-Dollar-Motiv gab, um zu lügen. In Michael Jacksons Fall hat es noch nie einen Ankläger gegeben, der einfach zur Polizei gegangen ist, in eine Polizeistation gegangen ist oder einen Anruf bei der Polizei gemacht hat und gesagt hat, „Hi, ich wurde missbraucht und ich möchte das melden“, der mit der Polizei zusammengearbeitet und eine konsistente und schlüssige Version der Ereignisse abgegeben hat. Das ist buchstäblich noch nie passiert. Jeder einzelne Ankläger von Michael Jackson hatte immer ein enormes finanzielles Motiv und hat sich immer völlig diskreditiert, hat sich selbst widersprochen, hat anderen Leuten widersprochen, hat seine Geschichte ständig geändert und sich in eklatanten Lügen und Meineid verfangen. Es hat tatsächlich noch nie einen Ankläger gegen Michael Jackson gegeben, der einer genaueren Überprüfung standgehalten hat, und weißt Du, es ist nicht so, wie die Leute manchmal sagen: „Naja, das liegt nur daran, dass Michael Jackson die Ressourcen hatte, um fantastische Anwälte zu bezahlen“. Denn wenn man sich zum Beispiel die jüngste Dokumentation anschaut, bedurften viele der Unstimmigkeiten in dieser Dokumentation keiner Spitzenanwälte, um aufgezeigt zu werden. Es waren Michael Jacksons Fans, die massive und eklatante Fehler und Lügen in der Dokumentation gefunden haben, welche die vermeintlich professionellen Journalisten, die die Dokumentation gemacht haben, irgendwie übersehen haben.

    John Ziegler: Das ist alles sehr gut gesagt, aber ich möchte sicherstellen, dass wir einen Punkt deutlich machen: Das von Dir beschriebene Szenario einer missbrauchten Person, die zur Polizei geht, und sagt „Hey, das ist mir passiert“, und die andere Seite sagt „Du meine Güte, wir können davon ausgehen, dass das so passiert ist“ – die Realität ist, dass das gelegentlich vorkommt und diese Fälle haben oft echte Beweise, oder nicht?

    Charles Thomson: Nun, mit Sicherheit. Ich würde sagen, in den meisten Fällen kommt Missbrauch nur ans Licht, weil jemand beschließt, ihn zu melden. Ich möchte damit sagen, dass diese Menschen vor die Wahl gestellt wurden, Gerechtigkeit oder Geld anzustreben, und sie haben wortwörtlich Geld angestrebt. Der Chandler-Fall wurde gezielt so aufgebaut, um exakt mit der Zivilklage übereinzustimmen. Dann gab es den Arvizo-Fall, wo die Mutter versucht hat, einen Zivilanwalt zu bekommen, gescheitert ist und erst dann zur Polizei gegangen ist, als der Zivilanwalt sagte, dass sie einen Schuldspruch braucht, bevor er sie vertritt. Und dann haben wir Wade Robson und Jimmy Safechuck, die direkt zu einem Zivilanwalt gehen. Im Michael Jackson Fall gehen also auch diejenigen, die sich zu einer Meldung entschlossen haben, nicht zur Polizei und sagen, „ich möchte Missbrauch melden“, sie laufen zu einem Anwalt und verkaufen sie für Millionen Dollar. Doch ja, ich meine, in vielen Fällen gibt es handfeste Beweise, forensische Beweise, es gibt bestätigende Zeugen oder der Missbrauch wird gemeldet und öffentlich gemacht, und dann kommt eine Flut anderer Opfer. Und im Michael Jackson Fall trifft nichts davon zu, alles ist völlig konträr zu einem üblichen Fall.

    The dangerous destruction of Michael Jackson

    The book-burning response to Leaving Neverland entrenches a worrying new precedent.



    The dangerous destruction of Michael Jackson

    Share Topics Culture Free Speech Politics USA

    At the end of HBO’s four-hour-long documentary Leaving Neverland, in which Wade Robson and James Safechuck allege, in often painfully graphic detail, that they were abused as children by Michael Jackson, we see a burning pyre of Michael Jackson memorabilia, including a replica Thriller jacket. It is a fitting scene with which to close.

    'HBO's efforts to escape the results of this simple analysis fail'. (I hope so!!)



    The Estate arguments in this doc. look very persuasive. They cite plenty of legal precedents and make it sound as if HBO are trying to escape arbitration by claiming legal precedents that don't actually exist/ are not relevant / relate to free speech. It looks like a strong case to go to the next step.




    Hearing date is 15th July (To decide on if it can be arbitrated and who will arbitrate).

    https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment...state-63881606



    A much bigger threat was to come.The estate was blindsided in January when Branca and his team learned about "Leaving Neverland," a documentary produced by Britain's Channel 4 and HBO that would premiere just a few weeks later at the Sundance Film Festival.It featured two men, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who both spent long stretches with Jackson as boys and had said when the singer was alive that he didn't molest them, but now alleged in graphic and disturbing detail that the singer repeatedly sexually abused them as children.


    Both men had filed lawsuits in 2013 about the allegations, which were dismissed, but are on appeal and represent one of the last major legal hurdles the estate faces.The pushback from the estate, calling the documentary a retread of proven falsehoods from men seeking money, began the same day the film was announced, remained persistent through its airing, and included a lawsuit against HBO.


    Branca said they never considered a more muted approach."When somebody is not telling the truth, your immediate reaction is to fight back, because it's wrong," he said.The documentary led to some minor cancellations of his music from radio stations and other entities, but no real widespread, worldwide dip in his popularity.


    "So many of the huge deals have already been done, it doesn't really matter if there is some fallout," Greenburg said, "and it doesn't seem to have had a huge effect anyway."


    Branca said the effect has proved fleeting, "like one of those tropical storms. It's passed. Michael Jackson is alive and well and living everywhere in the world."

    ^.. prinzipiell ja .. ich bin aber auch dafür den "Verursachern " dieser verlogenen sogenannten "Doku" mit allen Möglichkeiten die das Estate hat, an den Karren zu fahren .. die sollten da noch eine ganze Weile dran zu knabbern haben ... so ein bisschen herbeigeführtes Karma würde ich da begrüßen .. :hehe

    Was mich von Anfang an so stört ist dieses "Crowdfunding".. jetzt mal im ernst.. wenn man da was für seinen Vater machen will (siehe neuen Kommentar von John Branca) - dann macht man das alleine und macht es gut. Wenn da überhaupt mal was kommt, wird das wie alles bei den Jacksons werden..

    Michael Jackson: Reading Past the Headline

    Next week will mark the 10-year anniversary of Michael Jackson’s death. For the past decade, we have seen Jackson’s legacy flourish. The entertainer has topped Forbes’ Top Ten Dead Celebrity earners’ list for eight of nine years. Highlights of Jackson’s Estate in the past 10 years include the highest grossing music documentary of the time, two albums with previously unreleased tracks, two documentaries produced by Spike Lee focusing Jackson’s BAD and Off the Wall albums respectively, and a Cirque du Soleil Las Vegas residency show that underscores Jackson’s groundbreaking contributions to music, dance and humanitarianism.


    In 2019, the artist’s legacy took a hard hit with the Leaving Neverland, a self-described documentary featuring two men who accused Jackson of child sexual assault in their pre-pubescent years. After premiering at Sundance, legitimate news site headlines screamed of Jackson’s guilt, claiming the film was “devastating”, “horrifying” and “disturbing”. Headlines shrieked of mental health counselors on hand for any audience member upset by the accusers’ claims, of Jackson supporters’ death threats, of a heavy police presence. A law enforcement officer at the film premiere stated,“tensions are higher for this movie than anything I’ve ever seen at Sundance before.”

    Amy Kaufman, LA Times


    Approximately a month later, following the airing of the film on HBO, Oprah Winfrey interviewed both of the accusers in an hour-long show. The audience, filled with at least 100 survivors of childhood sexual abuse, coupled with the media headlines seemingly sealed the veneer of legitimacy. Public calls to mute Michael Jackson were swift. Louis Vuitton pulled his Jackson-inspired collection from stores. The Simpsons removed a well-known episode that featured Jackson’s vocals. Jackson’s memorabilia items were removed from The Children’s Museum in Indianapolis. In Canada and Australia, radio stations refused to play Jackson’s songs. Yet, if media outlets had botherered to read beyond the headlines, a different picture would emerge of the film and the accusations themselves.

    Michael Jackson's popularity endures, even after new scandal


    By By JONATHAN LANDRUM Jr. AP Entertainment Writer


    Jun 23, 2019, 11:52



    The documentary "Leaving Neverland" presented a disturbing depiction of Michael Jackson as a child molester, but the initial wave of negative publicity hasn't greatly diminished the King of Pop's image or the enduring popularity of his music.



    Many believe Jackson's musical legacy is still going strong as Tuesday's 10th anniversary of his death approaches. Backlash to the documentary that aired in March on HBO and Britain's Channel 4 prompted radio stations in Canada to stop playing his music and the producers of "The Simpsons" to remove an episode that featured Jackson's voice.



    But that's been the most visible extent of the backlash.



    There's been no rescinding honors like has happened to Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein, or mass movements to stop playing Jackson's music, as R&B singer R. Kelly has faced.



    Jackson's massively popular "Thriller" album and the theatrical version of its music video still reside in the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry. His music is still featured in commercials and is a part of a Cirque Du Soleil show in Las Vegas.




    Museums in Detroit and Tennessee keep images and artifacts of Jackson on display, and his memorabilia continues to sell.



    "He still commands prices compared to most any other celebrity," said Darren Julien, president and CEO of the Culver City, California-based Julien's Auctions. He said his auction house has sold around $15 million of the superstar singer's property including his white glove that went for $480,000 in 2009 and a jacket, which was recently bought for $75,000.



    Julien said Russia, Asia, Middle East, Canada and America are some of the key markets where buyers are willing to spend money on Jackson's merchandise.



    "He's the only celebrity where we would have lines of people to get in whenever we had stuff of his to auction," he continued. "There's only one person that compares to Marilyn Monroe in collectability, and that is Michael Jackson."



    Billboard senior editor Gail Mitchell isn't surprised by support for Jackson, who she has met before. For a recent story, the veteran music journalist said she and a colleague interviewed about 30 music executives who believe the singer's legacy could withstand the "Leaving Neverland" controversy.



    "Some saw the film, others didn't want to," she said. "Many said that (Jackson) is not here to defend himself the way R. Kelly is here. ... The jury is always probably going to be out. But all of the execs said his legacy will be fine."



    Mitchell recently attended Janet Jackson's residency performance in Las Vegas where the singer played several of her brother's songs that had "people dancing and buzzin'" as the "crowd went wild" during classic songs from The Jackson 5, which she called "one of the highlights of show."



    "There was an aura about him," Mitchell said of Jackson. "He had an energy in terms of his talent and the dancing, and I still think that aura still exists to a point. I know it's been tarnished, but I think overall that there is no denying what he brought to the table."



    Jackson died at the age of 50 from an overdose of the anesthetic propofol on June 25, 2009. In an instant, Jackson's popularity surged after years of being tarnished by sexual abuse allegations and a 2005 child molestation trial, which ended with his acquittal. After Jackson's death, the criminal case nearly became an afterthought until "Leaving Neverland" was released.



    The documentary focused on two men, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who denied Jackson abused them while the singer was still alive. Both have said having their own children forced them to face the truth.



    Jackson acknowledged befriending numerous children, including some he invited into his bed, but denied he molested any of them.



    His estate has also vigorously denied Robson and Safechuck's allegations, calling the documentary a retread of proven falsehoods from men seeking money. A lawsuit was filed against HBO.



    Despite the documentary, Jackson's music streaming numbers continued to soar, according to Ian Drew, consumer editorial director at Billboard. He said Jackson's estate has been smart about keeping his music relevant, but it could be diminished over those being "creeped out" by allegations.



    Jackson's nephew said his legacy will never be destroyed.



    "No lie can destroy what was given to us as a blessing from God, and that's what my uncle was," said Sigmund "Siggy" Jackson, son of Jackson's eldest brother, Jackie Jackson. "You can never destroy his legacy with a petty lie. He will be here. And even after God calls us home, his legacy will live on and never be torn down."



    Film producer Jodi Gomes agrees. She believes Jackson's legacy will live on from this generation to the next, no matter what.



    Gomes said the family had been working on a documentary on The Jackson 5's 50th anniversary. The contract was ready to be signed with a network, but she said it backed out after "Leaving Neverland."



    "The 50th anniversary was planned and the whole family was participating and it was a celebration of what started the whole entire Jackson brand. And now, that has gotten lost in the shuffle," said Gomes, who worked on the 2009 reality series "The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty" and the 1992 miniseries "The Jacksons: An American Dream."



    Siggy Jackson said his uncle's legacy will continue to win despite the "haters," but understood the logic of some companies not affiliating themselves with anything Michael Jackson.



    "That's standard business. You wait until the heat burns down, so you can see after the smoke goes down," he said. "I don't fault anyone from backing off. But as far as the family, it doesn't stop anything. The plans don't stop. My uncle's legacy will never go away. Our family will make sure of that."
