Where's the Truth in All This? More people accuse Jackson
Thursday, November 1, 2007
Hi MJ fans and friends!
I recently went on an Emmy Award-winning show, "It's Your Call" with Lynn Doyle. I went on to discuss the book, Michael Jackson Conspiracy and was told that there would be a half hour "debate" with an anti MJ person. WELL -- the woman who came on to fight with me, Dr. Carol Leiberman, is the same woman who filed a plea with the California Child Protective Services Agency, requesting that Michael Jackson's children be taken away from him!
This woman said she was a psychiatrist and repeatedly insisted that MJ's children were in danger. I asked her what made her think that SHE knew about Michael's children being in danger. She said it was her job to know and insisted that I didn't know anything about the law. I told her that I DO know the law and pointed out that she filed all these "charges" against MJ back in 2003 and nothing ever came of it...
Dr. Leiberman was dumbfounded. I also asked her how she could make an assessment of Michael Jackson when she is not HIS psychiatrist. In fact, it turns out that she doesn't even know the man! In my opinion, this shrink is just a publicity hound, similar to Gloria Allred -- yikes!
Like many others out there, Dr. Leiberman is a person with an agenda to "kill off" the career of MJ. By the way, the first thing that came out of her mouth on the show last week was: "the only conspiracy I see is a conspiracy you might with Jackson's people." She was implying that I was only trying to sell books.
What about the truth!??? Does that not count for anything with these MJ haters??? These people are so one-sided and they are out for his blood -- and why??
Because they want their own name up in lights, using the King of Pop to try to propel themselves into the spotlight...that's how I see it, and it's truly sickening. I will say this: have been accused of many things, but at least I know that everyone who actually has read my book knows that I'm sincere. I wrote this from my heart and I come from a place of integrity. People who read the book see that.
I'm hopeful that Michael knows about my new book, but can assure people that he has had no involvement with it -- whatsoever. In fact, I wish Michael would take a more active role and stand up for himself, and maybe even embrace this book, because the media is so biased against him!
People can do things to fight the negative public image the media machine keeps putting out there! I hear that Michael is planning to attend Jesse Jackson's 66th Birthday party in the near future. Jesse Jackson is on a crusade right now, talking about the unfairness in "who controls" the media and the need for more ethnic people to be a part of the media overall. So the crusade is a good one to follow, as it will benefit anyone who cares about the fairness in the media...whether it's Jackson related is not the only issue. The issue is that the media is slanted. I proved this in my book -- and people need to wake up to that.
Michael Jackson was a target-- not only of a DA with a vendetta, but of a media machine that presented him as being guilty in the "court of public opinion" while his trial was underway. It's really unfair (and backward) that the media chooses to ignore all the "Not Guilty" verdicts that came down in Santa Maria in 2005. For many people in the media, it's all about ratings, and they try to make it look like the "NOT GUILTY" verdicts never happened...Media people just want to keep talking trash about MJ, and I hear there's a new British documentary that just came out, basically calling MJ all kinds of names and using Diane Diamond as a major source. Geeze -- that's really a bad thing -- considering that Court TV fired Diamond just days after MJ's trial ended -- her career is failing -- and her book never sold! How can ANYONE use this biased reporter as a major source?? Don't they know this is slanted journalism?? I wish someone could call an ethics committee in England and report these folks. I met these novice documentary makers briefly (at Tom Mesereau's office in LA) and they were feeding him a line of BS about them doing a positive documentary about Michael. they are fakes and I was there to watch them in person!!
I ASK A FAVOR: Whoever is able, please go to the "Ethical Standards" committee that oversees TV in the UK and file a report against these people who came out with a new doc about a week ago. By the way, Martin Bashir was brought before this same "ethics" committee about three times (before he did the famous MJ doc with Gavin Arvizo in the scene). I wrote about all of this in my book -- but back in 2002 -- when Bashir convinced MJ that he was going to do a documentary that would be flattering, no one knew about the "unfair practices" martin Bashir had been accused of in the past...

Michael Jackson Is Innocent
Aphrodite Jones’s Book Exonerates the Pop Star
15, 2007
By Matt Kettmann
Michael Jackson is 100 percent innocent, and his 2005 trial on charges of child molestation was an outrageously expensive witch hunt solely designed by then Santa Barbara County District Attorney Tom Sneddon to dethrone a successful black celebrity. Meanwhile, the mainstream media missed the true story, preferring instead to pronounce the pop star guilty on all counts in the court of public opinion. Everyone except Michael Jackson should be ashamed of themselves.
So believes author Aphrodite Jones, and her latest book, Michael Jackson Confidential, lays out her theories in a meticulously researched, blow-by-blow fashion. Taking readers inside the Santa Maria courtroom that captured the world’s attention for more than six months, the book recounts the testimony of crucial witnesses, paints the bizarre backdrop of nutty fans and international media hordes, and hammers home the “not guilty” verdict that a jury of Jackson’s peers delivered.
It’s a tale I already know far too well, having covered the trial for The Independent, TIME, and various national radio programs. I was even on the path to my own book deal, corresponding extensively with a prominent New York City agent and developing chapter outlines for a pitch that never popped. Like Michael Jackson Confidential, my book would have focused largely on the media circus surrounding the event, as I found myself intermingling with these professional train wreck-watchers whose heavily made-up faces, outlandish opinions, and no-holds-barred scoop-snagging strategies left me feeling ill as I drove home every day from Santa Maria.

Where: Borders Books & Music - Goleta, 7000 Marketplace Dr., Goleta, CA
And like Jones — who was forced to self-publish her book even though she has a slew of other best-selling true-crime titles under her belt — I quickly found that the publishers weren’t interested in anything on Jackson at all after the not-guilty verdict was announced. “I was told flat-out by numerous publishers and agents in New York that nobody wants a pro-Jackson book,” said Jones. “Can you believe that? It’s just weird that even what you read in a book is getting designated by someone making executive decisions about people’s lives and reputations. It’s not only weird, it’s actually scary.”
But unlike Jones, by the time the trial had ended, I thought Jackson was guilty. For me, the convincing factor was a video played by the prosecution in the trial’s 11th hour: footage of the accuser, then 13-year-old Gavin Arvizo, telling the cops for the first time that he’d been molested by Jackson. Oddly, it was this same video that convinced Jones of Jackson’s innocence.
“That video was the thing that convinced me completely,” she explained in a long and meandering phone conversation from her Long Island home two weeks ago. “I don’t believe he did anything to this Arvizo kid. I honest-to-god believe he didn’t do it. Watch the video again, and watch him get nervous at the wrong places and watch him study before he answers. He’s a very good little actor, but he was acting.”
Jones believes that the whole attempt to put Jackson behind bars was simply a pet “vendetta” of D.A. Sneddon, who retired at the end of 2006 after 23 years on the job. Jones said that Jackson’s attorney Thomas Mesereau, who penned the forward to Michael Jackson Confidential, had told Sneddon that the Arvizos were not reliable witnesses and that they’d been involved in other con games before — two facts that eventually swayed the jury. “But Sneddon didn’t care,” said Jones. “He just wanted his name in lights. He just wanted all the hoopla around him.”
Jones is also now claiming wherever she can that the retired D.A. is a racist in the good-ole-boy sense, pointing to a courtroom exchange in which one of the witnesses, black comedian Chris Tucker, asked to see a photograph of himself that was being used by the prosecution, and Sneddon replied, “If you’re a good boy.” I remember finding the moment a tad unsettling, but its ties to racism are debatable. (Sneddon did not respond to my request for a comment last week, and when I ran into him at the Taco Bell on Milpas many months ago, he seemed to be enjoying retired life and to have moved far beyond the 2005 trial.)
Complicating matters, while the trial was going on, Jones herself was a popular talking head on television, especially for the Fox News network. “I was one of the leaders of the pack,” she admitted. “We did as much as we could to make [Jackson] look bad. That’s what people wanted. To be quite honest, that’s what Fox wanted. They didn’t want any exculpatory information.”
This book is her apology, an attempt to set the record straight and reveal that the media were biased and remain broken. “It’s all about exposing what the media can do to someone with just an accusation,” Jones explained. “Anyone can come along with accusations or innuendo and, if the media decide to pick it up, it can snowball and ruin careers.” Though she never mentions specific journalists by name in her book — save for Martin Bashir, whose documentary on Jackson jump-started the investigation and made Bashir a witness — Jones has no love for many of her colleagues, explaining, “These people make their careers off Jackson’s blood.”
While her book is about the Jackson trial, Jones sees it as an indictment of the whole media system. “We have moved into a culture where it’s all about personalities and the Nancy Graces of the world who have an agenda. I don’t think that’s real news anymore,” she said. “We’re coming into a society and era that’s becoming so obsessed with celebrity that even the news organizations are caving in.” Jones hopes she’s a force in the other direction, toward truth and fairness — even though her opinionated book comes off as rather one-sided.
As for the pop star, Jones says “He hasn’t even recognized that the book exists.” But her book is a big hit with MJ fans all over the world, and is already being translated into a number of languages. She’s been doing book-signings since the book came out in June — much like the ones she’s doing with attorney Thomas Mesereau this weekend in Santa Barbara — and the book is starting to attract the attention of the legal community as well.
But Michael Jackson Confidential was never a money-making endeavor for Jones, who said, “It was more a labor of love and catharsis for me.” Hopefully it’s a cathartic reality check for the mainstream media as well.
Aphrodite Jones will discuss and sign copies of Michael Jackson Confidential on Saturday, noon-4 p.m., at the Barnes & Noble on State Street, and on Sunday at 2 p.m. at the Borders in Goleta. Jackson’s defense attorney, Thomas Mesereau, will also be in attendance. For more on the book, see aphroditejones.com.
