Re: [Discussion] Wade Robson files claim of sexual abuse against MJ-Estate
How is your "theory" of Wade being jealous of the Cascios any less speculative than Wade being an AEG plant? There's no reason to believe Wade gives the Cascios even a passing thought. He never mentions them at all.
I think your referring to the children around Michael as his "lost boys" in his "Peter Pan world" is rather disturbing (but maybe that's just me). Yes, the Cascios were around Michael at the same time Wade was but so were lots of other kids. If you want to know what is motivating Wade Robson, read his claim regarding the allegations and watch recent interviews. Here are some excerpts of the claim that I find particularly telling:
"From the outside, 30-year-old Claimant is the man that others can only dream to be - both as a child and as an adult, Claimant was an internationally acclaimed performer, director and choreographer of international music tours, television performances, music videos and commercials. However, Claimant has become incapable of pursuing his career as a result of the severe psychological, emotional and sexual trauma he suffers because of Decedent's sexual abuse of him as a child. In fact, following his complete psychological collapse in March 2012, Claimant permanently left the entertainment business."
"In early 2011, Claimant was hired to direct a large-budget dance film, something that Decedent had once "prophesized" Claimant would do. But by April 2011, overwhelmed with stress and anxiety, Claimant was unable to work and quit the film. Following the walk-away from the biggest opportunity of his life, Claimant met with a cognitive psychologist for about a month in an attempt to understand why his life was unraveling, but never discussed with him the childhood sexual activities with Decedent. Claimant began working again in July 2011 and continued to work until he had a final, complete breakdown in March 2012. He has been unable to work since."
"In mid-April 2012, Claimant began seeing a psychotherapist, but he did not tell the therapist - or even his family members and wife - about his sexual activities with Decedent until May 8, 2012. That was the very first time Claimant began to recognize that Doe 1 had molested him. Since that time, Claimant has become increasingly and acutely aware that his psychological injury and symptomatic breakdown arose from childhood sexual abuse and the relationship with Decedent that surrounded it."
"It was also on this trip that Doe 1 began to fill Plaintiff with information such as, "study the greats and become greater. Be the best or nothing at all. Rule the world. Be in the history books. Immortalize yourself, and prophesied that "Plaintiff will be a film director bigger than Steven Spielberg". As far as Plaintiff was concerned, his fate was written."
So, what we know is that:
1) Wade's career has been in decline for several years. He hit his peak a decade ago when he was working with Britney Spears and 'N Sync and had his own TV show. His latest job is as a creative director for Disney starlet Demi Lovato. It must be depressing to know that at the age of 30, your best days are already behind you.
2) Wade blames Michael's prophecy of directing a large-budge dance film (they're talking about Step Up 4 here, by the way) for triggering his mental breakdown. He implies that Michael put a lot of pressure on him by telling him to "be the best" and claims he felt his fate was written. However, judging by his career trajectory of the past couple of years, it is clear that Wade couldn't live up to Michael's (and likely his own) expectations.
3) Wade has permanently left the entertainment business and says he's unable to work again due to the abuse. He expects Michael to compensate him for the loss of income.
4) Wade only realised he had been abused after he had a mental breakdown and after he had therapy to discover the reasons for his mental problems.
^ All of this supports my theory that the essence of Wade's anger towards Michael is the fact that his career didn't turn out the way Michael said it would. Wade is hoping to get a lot of money from the allegations so he'll never have to work in the entertainment business again.
That's one approach to looking at it, Lil, but I'm basing what I am saying on what Wade has speculated on, in his life, that's all. Do I believe it is just because his career failed, nope.
Too many details point back to the time period of Evan Chandler and what he did. This isn't just speculation. Evan Chandler had a promising career as a dentist in Beverly Hills, you would think that that would have given him personal satisfaction. Nope, he hatched a brilliant plan and he won by getting Michael Jackson to settle with him. This determination to do just that, is what drove Evan Chandler.
Were the Cascio's part of the "Lost Boy's" of Michael Jackson's "Peter Pan" World, when Wade was between age 7 - 14, yes. Do I believe that the Cascio's are in sight, as if looking through the scope of a hunting gun, in Wade Robson's mind, yes.
All I have done is try to see what is motivating Wade Robson, where the animosity is coming from towards the Estate, John Branca and John McClain. Do I think Wade is a plant coming from AEG Live, now that is speculation at its best!
