A couple of Karen faye's statements after MJ died. The bridge accident was from her blog . If i remember correct the other from her FBlegacylegacy7;3821914 said:
About the bridge accident she is saying MJ said kenny dropped him - later though when questioned ,she stated he was director so he was responsible for what happened. but that is a lot different than what she says here and what really made me start question her words and integrity.MJ knew kenny didn't personally drop him, it was an accident an equipment error .. so why would he say such a mean thing. I found many times where I felt she put words in Michael mouth. That is why hearsay isn't allowed. Because they are her words not his. It's not right to say MJ told me and quote him like she does, when he is not here to validate her claims. Especially when she is attacking other people using his so called words. She did the same with LMP then recanted
QUOTE Karen Faye:
I was in shock as I saw the bridge in free fall with Michael on it. I was just outside his quick change room. I ran screaming towards the stage and security grabbed me and held me back as the bridge disappeared down past the edge of the front of the stage, I saw the horror on the other performers, but the music kept going. The audience was still transfixed. I saw one arm… then a leg, then his body climb back on stage… he finished the song. He made it back to the dressing room. His heart was beating, he seemed in a trance. We need to get you to the hospital, I said. “NO, I can’t, I can’t”… he ran back out and finished the show. When he returned to the dressing room after the last note.. he collapsed. Security picked him and up and got him to the hospital. I couldn’t sleep that night I couldn’t get any response to how he was. The next day, he called me from the hospital. I asked “why didn’t you stop?” he replied, “Turkle, I couldn’t… all I could hear was my father’s voice… DON’T DISAPPOINT THE AUDIENCE”.
Actually, Michael held Kenny Ortega responsible and Kenny left Munich very quickly without confronting the tragedy. Michael told me Kenny finally apologized when Michael asked him to help him with the O2 shows. This was always something Michael would bring up on a regular basis… ‘you know Turkle, Kenny has never mentioned or apologized for dropping me”. And when I came back to work with Michael again this year, one of the first things he said to me was “Kenny finally apologized.”
But pertaining more to this trial- Here she states she was hoping MJ would improve .. She thought they had time to get him on track. ... Same as AEG felt .. but then MJ died at the hands of Murray
QUOTE Karen Faye:
"The week before Michael’s death, the crew was starting to ask questions.. about Michael not showing up and not rehearsing as he should be, not taking off his sun glasses. The excuses WE gave was “he was tired”… only half the truth. I personally could not tell strangers (dancers) that I thought he started taking drugs.. that I was worried sick about his weight. I told Kenny and Frank Dileo. I was hoping he would improve in the next two weeks before we left for London, and then the week and a half in London before the first show. I thought we had time to get on track. He showed marked improvement the 23 and 24th. We had hope. Then he died."
Im was saying that statement was made right after MJ's death. but in court she is Implying MJ was near death's door and being ignored. Not that there was hope for improvement June 19th - 24th like the initial statement. NO her cross isn't final . not until tuesday I think. Maybe will will get more info about then.
