Michael Jackson is accused of sexual assault.
 

It's just ... unimaginable ...

My thoughts are with the victims.

Welcome to 25+ years ago.

Somebody took too many 'shrooms and forgot what year it was. :tlol:

I don't think OP was around at the time yet. :lol:

lmao "Current Events"

The fact that we're never really gonna know definitively is always gonna bother me.

If you want to troll, you'd better pick up some fresh stuff.
:lol:

This whole place has become a parody of itself.

I mean VOLTRON is masquerading as a voice of reason and not doing badly with it. Next CyberCubed will begin aging gracefully.

#NOTMYTECHNODROME!!!

This is only current news because there's a show similar to the R-Kelly one about to air soon.

So that explains it.

Well, if any rumors were true and there are people with legit claims, well I guess it's their own right to be able to speak up. Buuuut... yeah, little late to hold the guy accountable. (edit: But maybe that isn't their point anyhow.)

Then again, almost ten years later, maybe it's safer and more possible to even say anything now, vs. how loudly they'd have been shouted down by fans and PR years ago. Just sucks nothing will ever be known for sure.

That's a helluva rallying cry if I ever heard one. :tlol:

AFAIK, FBI was investigating MJ for decades and they have found nothing.

Apparently one of the former "victims" has now come out and did an interview. I saw part of it on TMZ or something. Or it might have been Access Hollywood. I forget, but it was one of those celeb-based shows.

I'm touched. But not in a Michael Jackson way. More in a spiritual way. But not a Catholic Church way. Like, the kind where you won't have to introduce yourself to the entire neighborhood kind of way.

The kind of touching that Gilette wouldn't make a commercial about.

God damned PC culture. . .

It was only a matter of time with this MeToo movement era, and with all of the R.Kelly accusations re-emerging and new accusations, that some production company would go back to the Michael Jackson pedophile investigations to capitalize on the trend.

I don't think Jackson ever diddled anybody, personally.

Me neither, but again, there's still some shady sh*t that makes me wonder.

I love MJ, but it's always gonna nag at me.

The first accusations always sounded like an extortion attempt gone awry, so I've always been skeptical of everything that came out afterwards.

My official view is, I think/hope he was innocent. But if it's ever proven, well... I'unno.

Yeah, I never knew what to think after a while. The guy became such an odd duck it's hard not to feel suspicious. His own crazy behavior really didn't help.

Unsurprisingly, there's supposedly some family push back on that documentary now. Can't say I blame them. At the same time, if any claim is legit it's awful to try to silence them just because they of course (and much of the public) would never want to believe anything like that could possibly be true, so... I dunno. :ohwell: That mess will never be resolve either way.
