Absolutely.  Dude was a freak.  The faxes to that kid alone should make anyone question Jackson's denials.

I haven't watched it yet.  I'm thinking that I need to though.

Saw bits and pieces of it last night. At best MJ was a creep.

He was a predator...not much more than be said...

I'm not sure why this is making waves now, when it's all been out there forever and nobody cared. Then again, stories about Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby were out there forever, and people kept looking the other way, so --

Too many people are willing to look away if the accused is famous enough, powerful enough, puts enough butts in seats. So, no, I'm not watching because I know it will just make me angry.

I'm not sure that we heard from the victims as directly as this....I could be wrong.

Interesting that Mac Culkin still denies any sexual assault.  My guess is that he just doesn't want to admit it.

Corey Feldman always defended Michael Jackson too.

In the cases of Culkin and Feldman, perhaps Jackson and/or his accomplices knew that the risk would be too great for him to try to have his way with a child star. Plus, they were nice props for other parents and their children to see with Jackson, likely helping to alleviate any concerns that they might have. And in the long haul, we’re still saying but Culkin and Feldman said ....

That could very well be the case...and yes, just like the two kids that didn't tell their mothers at the time, some victims will bottle it up forever

Radio stations are dropping the diddlers music.

MJ was a gold mine for that show.  They made fun of him constantly, not that it was all that hard to do.  My fave was the MJ potato head toy, with different wigs and noses.

Yes, yes it is. Young Simba, Jonathan Taylor Thomas. I was shocked to see that when I pulled up this old clip too. I forgot he was the kid. Must have been right before or after the show started.

I don't think I'll bother watching this - it wouldn't change anything for me, and only kind of disturb me. I see no point.
