Re: [Discussion] Michael Jackson Slandered By The Mirror

Another weird thing is that we haven't heard a peep from TMZ about all this.
 
Re: [Discussion] Michael Jackson Slandered By The Mirror

Will this f*ckery ever stop!
They all must die if we want them to stop! :mad:
I am tired of this as well but I will not stop fight for MJ. These idoits must see that that this is not going to be tolerated.

Gutted and disgusted that these filthy lies are all over the current news again.
 
Thought you should know Diane Dimond is at it once again.

Don't forget to leave this Bi....I mean woman a comment.



.......................................................................................




I have taken much grief over the years—and received many death threats—from zealous Michael Jackson fans who have been unhappy with my investigative coverage of their idol.
Michael Jackson

Since 1993, I have reported on the Jackson saga on television, radio, and in print. To his fans, the King of Pop was a benevolent and misunderstood saint of sorts who was persecuted by me and other journalists who had the audacity to report what trusted sources told us about Jackson’s private life: the disfiguring cosmetic surgeries, the drug and alcohol abuse, the constant companionship of young boys, the baffling short-lived marriages.


Jackson fans have complained especially about my book Be Careful Who You Love: Inside the Michael Jackson Case, in which I wrote about law enforcement's suspicion that Michael Jackson may have sexually abused many young boys. I also wrote extensively about how his money-hungry family kept their suspicions of Jackson’s pedophilia to themselves for fear it would hurt their economic standing. If Michael’s earning were interrupted so would have been their allowances from him.


I was branded as a liar who was out to simply make money by destroying an innocent man’s reputation. Among the most memorable of the myriad of threatening e-mails I’ve received came from a woman who promised to hunt me down, pin me to the ground, gouge out my eyes with a spoon, and scrape off my face with steel wool. Another declared she was a voodoo princess performing chants to make sure I got breast cancer.


In this business, you have to have a thick skin. I got on with my crime- and justice-based journalism over the years, but I continue to periodically get sucked back into the Jackson morass. Case in point: the latest Jackson story in the British tabloid Sunday People with the screaming headline: “Michael Jackson paid £23MILLION buying silence of at least TWO DOZEN young boys he abused over 15 years.” (That translates to $34 million U.S. dollars.) The paper claims to have “seen secret FBI files”—supposed case numbers CADCE MJ -02463 and CR 01046—that reportedly reveal how the superstar bought off parents of his alleged young victims to ensure silence. The article goes on to report that, “Many of the damning reports in the FBI collection had been commissioned by ***** himself.”


“I quit because I found out some truths…He did something far worse to young boys than molest them.”


Here’s what I know. The FBI files are still secret. The documents and cassette tapes reviewed by Sunday People were offered up by a private detective who has been knocking around Hollywood with them for a long time. He remained unnamed in the U.K. paper and will remain so here, but he’s hardly a shadowy figure. I have known him personally for many years.


Here’s the back story: This detective used to work for Jackson’s high-profile private investigator, Anthony Pellicano, in the days immediately following the first child sex-abuse allegations against Jackson in 1993. The pair was tasked with identifying possible trouble for the accused entertainer, and in doing so this Pellicano associate called upon a dogged tabloid reporter named Jim Mitteager to see what information he might have developed. At Mitteager’s home he learned that the National Enquirer reporter had died. His widow gave the private eye a box full of tapes marked “JACKSON” that her husband had been working on.


Included among the hours of salacious interviews was a long discussion with a live-in domestic couple named Stella and Philip LeMarque which was generously quoted by the Sunday People in a companion article. The couple told a story of boys being shown pornography and sexually molested in the Jackson house, the theatre area, and in teepees pitched on the landscaped grounds. Among the alleged victims were five child actors, two dancers, and at least ten other young Jackson admirers dating back to 1989. The children were isolated from their parents, according to the couple, who were housed a quarter mile away in guest quarters while the young boys slept with Jackson.


(Much of what the LeMarques said on the Mitteager tapes—and to me in 1994—was similar to stories told by other Jackson employees. But the couple’s veracity has been questioned, because they repeatedly and unsuccessfully tried to sell their version of events to the media.)


Once in the detective’s possession, all the Mitteager audio tapes were turned into printed reports for Pellicano and filed among his vast cabinets full of Hollywood secrets.


In 2002, when Pellicano was arrested on weapons charges, the FBI scooped up all of the gumshoe’s files. They have remained in FBI storage and—unbelievably—never offered to prosecutors in Santa Barbara who conducted the unsuccessful criminal case against Jackson in 2005. Jackson was acquitted of all molestation charges and denied all the accusations up until his 2009 death.


In a prison interview with The Daily Beast in 2011, Pellicano—who called himself the “Sin Eater” —revealed why he hadn’t worked for Jackson for very long. “I quit because I found out some truths…He did something far worse to young boys than molest them.” Pellicano, the father of nine children, refused to elaborate.


The latest reports from the British paper put actual numbers to old Jackson molestation stories—24 boys and $34 million dollars in pay-offs—but offer no confirmation of the private detective’s information. Does it mean the stories are untrue? No, but it does nothing to corroborate them either.


The unnamed private eye who provided the newspaper with his copies of the old files said he came forward after listening to Wade Robson, a one-time Jackson loyalist who now claims he was molested by the singer for seven years. Despite being the lead defense witness at Jackson’s 2005 child-abuse trial, Robson, now 30, has changed his story and says the sexual abuse began when he was seven years old. In May, Robson filed legal papers and told the Today Show earlier this year he could no longer stay silent about the horrible secret Jackson had “brainwashed” him to keep.


These disclosures come as Jackson’s mother and children pursue a sensational high-stakes wrongful death suit against AEG, the last concert promoter to work with the entertainer. The family maintains AEG ignored Michael’s serious health issues and literally worked him to death. AEG insists that it was Dr. Conrad Murray, hired on by Jackson himself, who was in charge of the singer’s health. The corporation says it had no idea of the nightly Propofol drip the now-convicted doctor was administering to Jackson or how sick their star really was.


The timing of the Sunday People and Robson exposés has caused some to believe AEG is behind the leak of this legacy-damaging information. (AEG has refused to comment on the speculation, and the Jackson family has similarly had no comment.) On social media and on Jackson-related websites, the King of Pop’s supporters see a conspiracy to taint the Los Angeles trial and negate the positive PR and financial bump the Jackson family enjoyed after Michael’s death in June 2009. Thanks to astute estate management, the hundreds of millions of dollars of debt Jackson left behind has now been erased, replaced by a solid portfolio worth, by some accounts, nearly a billion dollars.


It is important to note, however, that the jury in the Jackson vs. AEG trial is admonished daily not to watch, read, or listen to any media, so there is a viable chance that they have heard nothing about the latest allegations. Any effort at a conspiracy could easily have failed.


The numerous ugly revelations in court about AEG’s behavior toward Jackson as well as the singer’s lifestyle and the state of his body at death has left many court watchers wondering why Katherine Jackson, 83, would have brought this case in the first place. Surely, she must have known that derogatory information about Michael would surface and some family members have been quoted as saying the stress and anxiety of possibly testifying contributed to 15-year-old Paris Jackson’s suicide attempt last month. While the Jackson suit seeks unspecified billions in damages there is obviously a more than adequate estate already in place to care for Jackson’s three children.


My best guess after following this family for 20 years? Since Katherine Jackson’s substantial allowance reverts back to the children when she dies, she is trying to amass funds of her own to leave to her chronically under-employed sons.

Re: [Discussion] Michael Jackson Slandered By The Mirror

Jesus... they are horrible. I wonder if Wade's people are behind all this ish being published now. It seems he was unable to round up any other supporters to come forward with lurid tales of child abuse. So, this must have been Plan B since The Today Show didn't work out so well for him.

If you mean wade and his clown of a lawyer, i doubt it, they're not that powerful and wellconnected are they? It's just that wade's sudden aboutturn is being exploited by all the usual anti-mj entities. It really looks like it's paul beressi's files that are being used and he's some sleazy hollywood fixer. Maybe he just looked at the wade revelations and saw he could make some mischief - he's been sitting on these files for 4 yrs since mj's death.
 
Re: [Discussion] Michael Jackson Slandered By The Mirror

yesterday, she refuted Friedman' story (about the Globe/NE reporter). Now she confirms that these files come from him

Where did she say that? Do you have a link or screenshot please?
 
Re: [Discussion] Michael Jackson Slandered By The Mirror

Diane is fully aware that the LeMarques were decimated on trial under oath and is well aware they are not credible. She is also aware that Mittenger was a liar and offered huge amounts of money to those to say anything about Jackson. And did you all notice she didn't mention Brandon or the Newt family that denied any abuse and both said they never received a penney from Jackson.. And she is well aware that there were real FBI files released in 2009..
 
Re: [Discussion] Michael Jackson Slandered By The Mirror

Someone created this. those files are old and had to be dug up. someone did that and handed them to the tabloids. all these stories/interviews from francia and the n.l theives started after w.r cane out. then u have the one premiere.

how connected does W.r lawyer have to be. anyone can send a story to a tabloid.
 
Re: [Discussion] Michael Jackson Slandered By The Mirror

So you are saying that John Branca a man who knew Michael for over 30 years and John McClain a guy who knew him since they were kids could have doubts about Michael?

I don't know what they think, but they act like it's nothing. It is very, very harmful! In my country it's appearing in major publications and they write about it as a fact that the FBI released files with strong proof that MJ abused dozens of children. Billions of people around the world are fed with it as a fact! People believe it. So why the hack can't MJ's estate issue a stronger rebuttal?

Who knows? Paul Barresi is most certainly the direct source of this story but who knows if he's acting alone of if he made a deal with Wade? It's actually interesting that he sent out the message at the end of the article by saying he hoped he would help more "victims" to come foreward. Just like Wade is fishing for other "victims" for support...
 
Re: [Discussion] Michael Jackson Slandered By The Mirror

They don't seem to care. As long as they are making money it's OK .

Wade and his lawyer don't have to be well connected and powerful to team up with Barresi. Barresi might have contacted them and offered them a deal.
 
Re: [Discussion] Michael Jackson Slandered By The Mirror

Where does the allegation of dozens of payoffs come from based off the mittiger files? u have adams and sneddon and co implying they were all paid off cause no one came foward. and the exemployees story selling. is it just created around that.
 
Re: [Discussion] Michael Jackson Slandered By The Mirror

Had anyone else got these files barresi though. we know its not new news interms of they were reported on decades ago. but did anyone but barresi have actual copies of them.

bottom line none of this shit would be happening if W.r had a job
 
Re: [Discussion] Michael Jackson Slandered By The Mirror

during the 2005 trial, Weizman was interviewed to comment on the trial, he was hardly supportive of MJ. Even when he talked about Wade Robson he was not that passionate like Mez.

I don't believe Weitzman will go against Murdoch .


And he could not stan for Michael seeing how he was a doing legal work for E news he had to play both sides. Mez on the other hand was his lawyer what did you expect?

We don't know, as the sunday people have all the docs, they're just claiming 'it's in the fbi files'. One of the v few docs they showed on their website has some anonymous email to pellicano talklng of this bogus brandon contract and at the end says, 'mj allegedly paid off the following victims' and then a list of x no of redacted names. That's it. The proof. We don't know where the other $10m or so comes from, from the $35m mentioned, chandler and francia and this brandon come to around $23m. I think the email is really dodgy, it's dated in july 93 a month before the chandler allegations but it's managed to convince those woodward and bernsteins over at the people.

respect said:

Maybe. What cd wade etc offer baressi though in this deal? Some payment in 2015 or so if one of his lawsuits manages to get to trial and he wins a settllement.

That's what I suspect.
 
Re: [Discussion] Michael Jackson Slandered By The Mirror

He was there as MJ's defense attorney in 1993, he was there to represent mj's side .However, he failed miserably . You can say over and over and over that this is no big deal , it wont change the fact it's indeed a big deal . MJ's reputation is smeared . His estate has done nothing and based on their history we should not expect anything from them
 
Re: [Discussion] Michael Jackson Slandered By The Mirror

It's a tabloid relax. People are not buying this shit.

You are wrong. People ARE buying it and it crosses over to other media as well, not just tabloids. It's a nightmare.

Interesting that Wade's allegation was not picked up this much. I guess because that's just one guy and I think they know he's not credible because he changed his story and demands money now that he says it. But when someone claims the FBI has evidence that MJ abused and paid off 24 boys that's a shocking and sensational claim enough to be picked up by every publication.

It's a case study of everything that is wrong with today's copy/paste "journalism" and how unethical, manipulative and lazy the media is. But MJ and his image suffers.
 
Re: [Discussion] Michael Jackson Slandered By The Mirror

They didn't report much the WR claims but now this f*ckery FBI files are everywhere! I don't get it, how is this getting more coverage than the other claims? :mad:

I hate feeling useless, people in general don't give a f*ck if you tell them those files aren't in fact the real ones. If the Estate isn't doing anything so far and people take us as crazy idiots, what more could we do! :boohoo:
 
Re: [Discussion] Michael Jackson Slandered By The Mirror

wasting the estate resources on Katherine legal adventures is OK. However, no one bothers with going after the tabloids, MJ is not alive .However, his kids and mother are still alive. Why cant they sue for emotional distress caused by falsified media reports ?

Shit, WE should sue for emotional distress.
 
Re: [Discussion] Michael Jackson Slandered By The Mirror

I haven't seen anything about this in the news, tv or anything where I live if that makes any difference. I hate all of this.
 
Re: [Discussion] Michael Jackson Slandered By The Mirror

If only Tom Mesereau could be the lawyer for the Estate, I bet he'd be managing these attacks way firmly than Weitzman.

Yes, that's the maddening thing about it - not just from MJ's aspect but also about how stupid and brainwashed people can be. No one actually clicks on those damn documents and says: "Hey, wait a minute! This is not what they write about in the article! Where is the PROOF of the abuse/pay-off of the 17/24 boys"?

They say (as Dimond in her article) that the actual bombshell files are still secret. (At least she realized and acknowledges that the posted documents actually do not corroborate the paper's claims.) How convenient! So you have this article, claim to have been show those bombshell files but all you can post on your website is this? Why not post at least a couple of those bomshell files? Because they do not exist, of course.

Pellicano was arrested in 2002. They already had the files they confiscated from Pellicano while Michael was on trial. To say or suggest the FBI coverd up for him is laughable.

And how would Diane know about what secret files the FBI has when the FBI (as she says) did not show these files to her buddy, Tom Sneddon?

I like that some of Dimond's readers at least say that unnamed sources and uncorroborated claims are not enough for them to believe this.They need a bit more proof. Even though they say they aren't MJ fans. But a lot of people do believe it.
 
Re: [Discussion] Michael Jackson Slandered By The Mirror

go and see the real MJ in ONE, like being a great dancer and singer are evidence of his innocence !! None of the articles calling him pedo and all sorts of things are disputing that M.Branca
