Now that the judge has thrown wade for a loop I'm sure he feels like shit and I couldn't be happier.
I think I may have commented one time since the judge made his ruling because I just didn't feel like it. But now that I've had a few days I will say this. I was thinking back to the day the story broke May 7th 2013 I wasn't sad I was however, pissed off. That he would even try something so low down. When I saw him on the Today show he looked like a straight up bum, I was thinking what in hell happened to him? Now that the judge has thrown wade for a loop I'm sure he feels like shit and I couldn't be happier. I hope this is just the beginning for him. I hope his whole world falls down on him and his bitch sister.
Don't celebrate yet. this is not over. They really believe their case against the companies will be allowed.

I don't see how... There was no one in MJ's companies who knew of any abuse because there was never any abuse.. Wade himself claimed he didn't know he was abused until 2013 so how the heck would MJ's companies know of any in 1990?
And like Ivy said I do find it strange that Tmz is not only not talking about it but they were not the ones who broke the story. It's like they want nothing to do with it

In her statement Marzano made it seem like the civil process will definitely end up in a trial, but that is just the usual posturing from her IMO. She knows that there too they have a high mountain to climb. Moreover as I read that statement it felt like yet another publicity threat: "we are confident that when all the facts are presented in civil court, there will be no doubt left about just what kind of sexual predator Michael Jackson was." I think they still hold on to a little hope on being able to blackmail the Estate into a settlement by threatening with bad publicity. Robson's lawyers have always gone out their way in calling Michael all kind of inflammatory names in public: "monster", "predator" etc. That's part of their game of trying to put publicity pressure on the Estate by smearing MJ.
Just a thought - maybe they are waiting for the dismissal of the entire civil case?
No this story was tmz' s baby. Wade's lawyer would give statements to tmz and only to tmz.

They really didn't focus on it too much.. I think the reason being Harvey Levin is a lawyer and he is well aware of Wade's 20 years of defending MJ even in a court of law at a 2005 trial.. That's no small thing. Under oath testimony is a big deal for most attorneys.
Once again I am sure a 7 year old Wade was not negotiating with MJ's companies by himself.. where was his Mother??
I wouldn't call it TMZ's baby, they weren't supportive of Wade from the start. It's Radar Online's baby.
Actually TMZ made some remarks which seemed like they were doubting Robson and were even somewhat sarcastic about his allegations. Something did happen there. The whole thing was broken by TMZ. Initially they were very much on the story, like Justthefacts said, the initial statements made by Robson's lawyers (eg. the "monster" comment) were made to TMZ. Then something happened. TMZ seemed like they started to doubt him and then the pro-Robson camp moved over to RadarOnline and TMZ started to report less about the case to the point of almost totally ignoring it now. I have seen haters advise each other not to read TMZ but RadarOnline. RO is the official Robson mouth piece.
From the judgment, the judge has refused to accept all wade's claims that he was psychologically unable and unwilling to acknowledege he had been molested for decades, and that he thought he was in some loving relationship and it was all good and his own idea blah blah. In that case it suggests that the judge wouldn't even accept the claim if it had been filed within 60 days, as he doesn't seem to accept this was a case of 'delayed discovery' because of wade's answers to the interrogs and his depo, unless i'm reading it wrong. The judge writes
I suppose it might be a coincidence, but i'm going to see the announcement of the neverland sale as some really nifty news management by the estate using their influence with colony. The neverland sale has pushed this other news re mj to the margins.
I don't see how... There was no one in MJ's companies who knew of any abuse because there was never any abuse.. Wade himself claimed he didn't know he was abused until 2013 so how the heck would MJ's companies know of any in 1990?
Castor, you have been highly critical of the Estate's attorneys from the get go and I don't understand why. IMO, They've been pitch perfect so far sticking to the law itself and tearing apart Wade and co's self incriminating claims.I only see one way: if the Estate's lawyers are stupid enough not to argue that Robson, his sister and his mother all were adamant that MJ was innocent
These are the biggest red flags and the Estate never really made those arguments.
the tide has turned for sure. On every website I visited the vast majority are siding with MJ. I hope Wade is visiting all sites to get an idea of the level of support he is receiving lol
ivy;4091555 said:Molestation Claim Against Michael Jackson's Estate Dismissed
LOS ANGELES — May 27, 2015, 9:43 PM ET
By ANTHONY McCARTNEY AP Entertainment Writer
Associated Press
A choreographer who accused Michael Jackson of years of molestation cannot pursue his allegations against the singer's estate because he waited too long to file the legal action, a judge ruled.
Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff wrote in his ruling Tuesday that Robson's claim is untimely and should be dismissed.
Robson had previously denied the pop superstar molested him and testified in Jackson's defense at the singer's criminal trial in 2005. Robson also spoke favorably about Jackson after the singer's death in 2009.
However, Robson sued Jackson's estate in May 2013 over the molestation allegations.
Attorneys for Robson said Jackson molested him over a seven-year period. Attorneys for Jackson's estate have denied the allegations.
Robson's attorney Maryann Marzano wrote in a statement that Beckloff's ruling will be appealed, and the molestation claim will be pursued against Jackson's business entities.
Jackson estate attorney Howard Weitzman praised the ruling and noted Robson's previous testimony about Jackson.
"Mr. Robson testified under oath in a courtroom that Michael never did anything improper with him," Weitzman wrote in an email.
Marzano, however, wrote that her client was incapable of filing his legal action any sooner due to psychological damage he suffered. She also noted that Beckloff's ruling did not make any determination about whether Robson's allegations were factual.
"We are confident that when all the facts are presented in civil court, there will be no doubt left about just what kind of sexual predator Jackson was," Marzano wrote.
Robson was 5 when he met Jackson, and he spent the night at Neverland Ranch more than 20 times, sleeping in the singer's bedroom on most visits, he told jurors during the trial that ended with Jackson's acquittal.
Robson bristled at testimony by other witnesses that they had seen Jackson molest him.
"I'm very mad about it," Robson told jurors. "It's not true and they put my name through the dirt. I'm really not happy about it."
Robson, an Australian-born choreographer, has appeared on the Fox series "So You Think You Can Dance" and worked with Britney Spears and other stars.
Marzano argued at an April hearing that the seriousness of the claims being lodged against Jackson's estate warranted a full evidentiary hearing.
Jackson estate attorney Jonathan Steinsapir argued that the law doesn't allow liability for a person's actions to transfer to their estate in perpetuity, and that Robson missed his opportunity to file a claim.
Jackson died at 50 while preparing for a series of comeback concerts dubbed "This Is It." His estate benefits his mother and three children.
The pop singer died deeply in debt, but a posthumous bounce in the popularity of his music has generated hundreds of millions of dollars.
Robson filed one of the last major claims against Jackson's estate, although disputes with a former business manager, another man alleging underage sexual abuse, and the IRS remain unresolved.

I agree. That is like President Obama expecting Sean Hannity to talk good about him.I am not interested in Diane Dimond's or haters' opinions, to be honest. Let's not make this thread about them.
She's an unprofessional idiot.
That woman is joke and I do not think NO CREDITALBE new outlet will have her on.Of course what Dimond wrote about the case not being over on every front is true, but what Friedman wrote is true as well. Also it was not directed towards her, so why does she claim she was "asked". She was not. And "I moved on long ago!". Yeah, I guess that's why you wrote the Safechuck article just days after his complaint was filed. Just why you were used by him as a mouth piece. Because you definitely "moved on long ago". LOL.
Has anyone posted this twitter exchange between Roger and Diane? :hysterical:
