Public outrage that would result in extending or abolishing status of limitation all together. Legally speaking they have zero chance of winning the lawsuits with the existing laws. They never had a chance to begin with that's why they tried with we did not realise it was abuse until after he died which the judge did not believe. You have to remember if they said anything other than that their cases would have been thrown immediately. The only reason their lawsuits have continued to be heard by courts was because they claimed they did not realise they were abused and the judge gave each of them at least 5 opportunities to convince him but he ruled eventually using their own words that their excuses were not believable calling Wade an outright liar in the process.
Wade wants and is desperate for relevancy and to be seen as a victim to be forgiven for his well known and documented bad personality known for many in Hollywood. Have you read his blogs? Every blog is an attempt to blame MJ for his failures in life, for being the bad person everyone he came in touch knows him to be. Go read for yourself he does not accept responsibility for anything in his life. Everything is MJ's fault now. All his misdeeds, his manipulations his lies everything is MJ's fault. "why did you lie about this?", "Michael taught me to be a good liar". For God's sake, use your common sense. It is so obvious. This was an opportunity for him using the metoo to try and get the sympathy he did not get when he first filed his lawsuits in 2013, it is a fact he received very little to no support since he came out with his accusations in 2013.
He was in the entertainment industry his whole life he could not escape the fact he sued the estate not to mention his career was already almost over before he filed his lawsuit, he was denied projects, burned many bridges with many people and he ruined any chances of reviving it to the status he believed it it should have been given his 'outwardly talents' the minute he accused mj (was very hopeful everything we be done in secret and nothing would be leaked to the public and even sent an email to his family assuring them that he is filing everything under seal).
The IRS has two claims against his sister, his mother lost significantly in her real estate investments before he filed. basically the whole family was in financial hardship when he started this whole mess.
Safe chucks were slapped with a $800,000 lawsuit two days before Wade appeared with Matt Lauer in 2013 and this is the interview that made safe chuck realise he was abused. The mom has every motivation to lie because she herself was implicated in the lawsuits brought by family friends who were defrauded by her and her husband.
Have you ready their Billboard interview:
Robson: Those images of me burning things are from very early on in my healing process -- within the first two to three months. I’m not saying that to discredit the validity of that now. But it just paints a picture as to how many different stages there are in this process. I think those two things that you [To Reed.] referenced show the complexities and the contrasts of the healing journey.
The burning of those things was what I needed to do at that early stage. And I remember, as I was doing that, I was looking at the fire and I started speaking to Michael. I said, “Michael, I’m going to take these disgusting, horrible things that you did to me -- I’m going to take your manipulation and your lies and your perversion -- and I’m going to turn it into something good. I have no idea how. And I have no idea what that means. But somehow, I’m going to turn this into something good.”
And so then it’s really incredible -- I had never quite actually put that together until now, that those images are at the end of this film.
Safechuck: Oh. Shit.
Robson: That feels like something good. Out of the bad.
Safechuck: You know what else is strange?
Robson: [Jokingly.] No, James. Tell me.
Safechuck: He put this dream in us to make a film that would change the world, right?
Robson: Wow, yeah. Here you go, Michael.
Reed: You did what he told you to do after all.
What was the good thing about filing under seal? Sending an email to his family to assure them his lawyers are hopeful everything will remain confidential? Why would his family wants everything to remain confidential knowing their son was raped when he was a child? "Speaking the truth as loud as I spoke the lie"?
Look at the sense of entitlement in the Billboard article! repulsive. Have you read Safechuck complaints? He blamed MJ for not getting a proper education for convincing his parents that he should be in movies. But, was not his own mom who said herself in the documentary her son agent told her he was money in the bank when she first met him and that was BEFORE they met MJ? The dream to be in Hollywood has nothing to do with MJ. They blame MJ for planting this idea in their heads when in fact it was there before they even met him and they met him because of their Hollywood dreams.
MJ cannot prove he did not do anything wrong, but for me someone who has the truth on his side does not have to lie. The fact they lied so much, they exaggerated so much, they tried to blame EVERYTHING on him is enough to make any reasonable person question anything they claim.
