”Believe the victims”, they say.

”Stop protecting a pedophile”, they say.

“Pedophile apologist”, they call us.

Well, if you’re a real victim, you wouldn’t be trying to sue the estate of a dead man, only to have your case thrown out of court. Not once, but SEVERAL times.

If you’re a real victim, you wouldn’t be creating drafts of a book, and emailing your mother for help, only to have her say “I have several versions. I’ll let you know which one will benefit you.”

If you’re a real victim, you wouldn’t hide your emails and the drafts of your book from the judge when they ask you for them.

If you’re a real victim, you wouldn’t sue the estate under seal right before the documentary airs.

If you’re a real victim, you wouldn’t have a donation page with the lowest donation being $250. Then change the name of that same donation page when fans call you out on it.

If you’re a real victim, you wouldn’t claim in the film that you can’t dance to your abusers music, but are caught on camera teaching a class choreography to the song “Unbreakable” during the time you’re supposed to be in therapy.

If you’re a real victim, you’d know exactly what happened to you, with who, and sometimes where it happened. You wouldn’t have “several versions” of the same event or claim the abuse happened somewhere it really didn’t.

If you’re a real victim, you wouldn’t claim you’re not getting paid for the film, but have an appeal on a lawsuit against the estate before/after the film airs so you could get around the statue of limitations.

If you’re a real victim, you wouldn’t be laughing about what happened to you. You’d be devastated.

If you’re a real victim, you wouldn’t be able to talk about what happened to you. You’d be shaking, crying, and barely able to mention it without breaking down. Wade & James did none of this.

If you’re a real victim, you wouldn’t be trying to pass off your claims as genuine when they come straight from a book by Victor Gutierrez. A simple Google search will prove this.

If you’re a real victim, the director of your film wouldn’t be trying to normalize man-boy love.

If you’re a real victim, and you’re telling the truth, you wouldn’t cut 45 freaking minutes out of the film after the fans and family members of Michael call out the lies in it.

If you’re a real victim, you wouldn’t have pictures where you’re posed inappropriately with young girls and trying to get a feel of them.

If you’re a real victim, you wouldn’t be caught kissing your own sister.

If you’re a real victim, you wouldn’t have omitted important things from the film, manipulated footage or photoshopped any of the photos. If you’re telling the truth.

If you’re a real victim, you wouldn’t claim Michael groomed you BEFORE even meeting you. That’s not even possible.

If you’re a real victim, you wouldn’t have claimed that Michael taught you how to hate women, but date his niece for 7/8 years whom he set you up with.

If you’re a real victim, you wouldn’t have a director going so hard to hide that relationship just to fit the narrative he’s trying to sell to the public.

How about we stop calling out the fans for ”victim-shaming” when we could be focusing on the REAL victim?

Michael Jackson.

This man has been humiliated beyond belief.

Set up by the media and money hungry families since 1993.

Made fun of for his skin disorder, nose, the infamous Pepsi accident that left his scalp burnt, and just plain doing nice things for children. Heck, anyone that deserved it.

Rough handled by police and forced to stay in a bathroom where the walls were littered with feces.

Had the media paying big money to his friends, just so they can say he touched their children. That is still currently going on. Aaron Carter and Ron Newt have recently been offered money to lie about Michael. Ron Newt has mysteriously died. Michael’s lawyer, Peter Lopez, was murdered a few months after Michael was killed by Conrad Murray. Because he had his will and knew his secrets.

All of this simply because he was Michael Jackson. The biggest celebrity at the time. He still is. And, unfortunately, he was an easy target. Also, Sony didn’t like that he owned half of the record company. Let’s be honest, half the music industry.

I’m so sorry, for how this world has treated you, Michael. In life and, now in death. 😞💔.

“And they manipulate our history books. The history books are not true! It’s a lie! The history books are lying. You need to know that. You must know that. All the forms of popular music: From jazz to hip-hop, to bebop to soul. You talk about the different dances from the cake walk to the jitterbug to the Charleston to breakdancing. All these are forms of BLACK dancing! What’s more important than giving people a sense of escapism, and escapism meaning entertainment. What would we be like without a song? What would we be like without a dance, joy, laughter, and music? These things are very important! But if you go to the bookstore down at the corner, you won’t see ONE BLACK PERSON on the cover! You’ll see Elvis Presley. You’ll see the Rolling Stones. But where are the real pioneers who started it? Otis Blackwell was a prolific, phenomenal writer. He wrote some of the greatest Elvis Presley songs. And this was a black man. He died penniless. And no one wrote about this man ever, they didn’t write one book about him at all. His songs were heard all over the world. I met his daughter today, and I was so honored. To me, meeting her was on the same level as meeting the Queen of England. I’m here to speak for all injustice. You gotta remember something—the minute I started breaking the all-time record in record sales—I broke Elvis’s records, I broke Beatles records—the minute it became the all-time best-selling album in the Guinness Book of World Records, OVERNIGHT they called me a freak, they called me a homosexual, they called me a child molester, they said I bleached my skin! They made everything to turn the public against me! And this is all a complete, complete conspiracy. You have to know that. I know my race! I just look in a mirror. I know I’m black.”

Why not just tell people I’m an alien from Mars. Tell them I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight. They’ll believe anything you say, because you’re a reporter. But if I, Michael Jackson, were to say, “I’m an alien from Mars and I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight”, people would say, “Oh, man, that Michael Jackson is nuts. He’s cracked up. You can’t believe a damn word that comes out of his mouth.

“It is not possible to be truly balanced in one’s views of an abuser and an abused woman. As Dr. Judith Herman explains eloquently in her masterwork Trauma and Recovery, “neutrality” actually serves the interests of the perpetrator much more than those of the victim and so is not neutral. Although an abuser prefers to have you wholeheartedly on his side, he will settle contentedly for your decision to take a middle stance. To him, that means you see the couple’s problems as partly her fault and partly his fault, which means it isn’t abuse.”

So it’s officially been a year since I’ve been homeless…

This past year has been incredibly intense, from being evicted from my home of 12 years and watching my neighborhood be dismantled by gentrification

To hopping from motel to motel with my mom sister and two dogs paying thousands of dollars for the shitties places

To having my dogs being exposed to such traumatic shit and having one of my dogs being attacked and beaten with a pipe by a psycho meth head and almost dying

To having having found a roommate (an old “friend” from high school) who ended up kicking me out because of THEIR OWN racist trump supporting family

To having so hide and sleep in closets so my sister didn’t get kicked out for having too many guest over

To having injured myself at work and wrongfully fired….

My life has been so upside down and in the beginning I was so ready to kill my self, I’ve lost literally everything, friends, confidence…

But things do seem to be looking up. I’m currently in a month to month motel room with my family that’s $1100 a month which isn’t too bad but I’m also working on fixing my credit which is about $300 a month so I’m asking for donations or at least to share my story. 21 was not a good year for me but still after this I can see things getting better.

friendly advice to not revolve your life around one person, one feeling, one place, one memory, one problem. the complexity of life and the diversity of the world is beautiful and you have the right to explore it. do not settle for less. you deserve better.
