After the sudden death of Michael Jackson Evan Chandler tells the truth.
In 1993, Chandler told a psychiatrist and police that he and Jackson had engaged in sexual acts that included oral sex, the boy gave detailed description of Jackson’s genitals. The case was settled out of court for a reported $22 million, but the strain led Jackson to begin taking painkillers. Eventually he became addicted.
Now maybe for the remorse of his death Chandler decides to tell us the truth. ” I never meant to lie and destroy Michael Jackson but my father made me to tell only lies. Now i can’t tell Michael how much i’m sorry and if he will forgive me ”.Evan Chandler was tape-recorded saying amongst other things, “If I go through with this, I win big-time. There’s no way I lose. I will get everything I want and they will be destroyed forever…
Under the influence of a controversial father (Jordan Chandler) told his son to tell that Jackson had touched his shlong.Jordan Chandler then told a psychiatrist and later police that he and Jackson had engaged in acts of kissing, masturbation and oral sex, as well as giving a detailed description of what he alleged were the singer’s genitals. ” Now for the first time i can’t bare to lie anymore. Michael Jackson didn’t do anything to me, all was my father lies to escape from being poor.”
The poor grammar, lack of credible sources, and mixing up of names makes me believe nothing of this article. Seems like someone just making a story up. What news source uses the word "shlong" and messes up the name of the person they are writing about?
This "news article" doesn't confirm anything in my opinion.
Also blaming this incident for his addiction to painkillers is another questionable point I noticed in this story. The strain caused him to start taking painkillers? This whole thing just seems like a fan trying to clear MJ's name for whatever he did or didn't do.
I feel sorry for those people. It's sad that something like a public figure dying can drive people to end their lives. I really don't think any celebrity/public figure dying could make me even think of suicide. Crazy.
That really is unfortunate. Especially because he's been reclusive for many years. Its not like he had a constant public presence. I guess that's what they mean by die-hard fans.
"Based on preliminary sales numbers from Nielsen SoundScan, the entire top nine positions on Billboard's Top Pop Catalog Albums chart will house Jackson-related titles when the tally is released in the early morning on Wednesday (July 1)."
Number Ones, The Essential Michael Jackson, and Thriller each sold over 100,000.
I feel sorry for those people. It's sad that something like a public figure dying can drive people to end their lives. I really don't think any celebrity/public figure dying could make me even think of suicide. Crazy.
You know, I really don't even feel bad for them. It pisses me off, more than anything. Like you said, no public figure or celebrity's death could make me lose all hope in living and make me wanna kill myself. Sounds like 12 lives wasted if you ask me. They accomplished nothing except cause their family and friends more grievance than was necessary
I've still got Thriller on vinyl. Ebay here I come!
My boss does as well... but his is unopened. He says sometimes he just collects things, and at least this one time he was right on. He's not sure if he's going to sell it right now, but either way that'll fetch a pretty penny.
Ok. I can't hold this back any longer.....I might get custied for this, but it just doesn't make any sense to me and leaves me with a ton of ?????? How is it that his kids look completely white? I mean, he is African-American and his surrogate wives were white. But shouldn't there be some sort of African-American characteristics in his children? There isn't though. They look like they had 2 Caucasian parents. That's not possible. I know MJ had his skin bleached or whatever, but it didn't change his DNA. Am I just extremely ignorant when it comes to test tube baby making? I dunno. It confuses me though.

I wasn't aware he had a skin condition. I didn't really care enough to look into it. I figured he just decided to bleach his skin. Sorry for being misinformed...geeze.

I'm pretty sure that was just an excuse made up to justifiy his bleaching. Also IMO, his children's genes were chosen to match his new appearance and I'd be surprised if any of them were actually donated by him. But this is just from what I've gathered from the information that I've unavoidably been exposed to by the celebrity obbsessed media culture.

I've never seen close-up photos of the kids so I can't comment, although as much as I want to defend Michael I don't think it's out of the realm of possibilities that they aren't his genetically. Also, to say that he made up a disease to cover up a deliberate skin change is just as ludicrous and ignorant as to say it was all from a disease and no bleaching or surgery took place.
I just find it really strange that he wouldn't give his own genetic material for his own kids. Why wouldn't he want a part of him to live on in his own children? Why use some stranger's DNA? It doesn't make any sense to me. I always assumed that his DNA was in his children, but it def appears otherwise.

Maybe, but if so, Quincy Jones is just as ignorant as me:
UPDATE: Quincy Jones says Jackson didn't have skin disease, just wanted to be white July 3, 8:02 AM
Quincy Jones, musician and producer who after hearing of Michael Jackson's untimely death stated, "I've lost my little brother," reports that he does not believe Jackson ever had vitiligo, a skin disease that discolors skin pigment. Jones just believes Jackson wanted to be white -- and tried to do it.
Jones is quoted in The Sun as saying:
"I've been around junkies and stuff all my life. I've heard every excuse. It's like smokers - 'I only smoke when I drink' and all that stuff. But it's bulls**t.
"You're justifying something that's destructive to your existence. But when somebody's hell-bent on it, you can't stop 'em.
"What his face turned into is ridiculous. Chemical peels and all of it. And I don't understand it. But he obviously didn't want to be black. You see his kids?"
I watched an old interview with michael on msnbc the other night and even though I'd seen it before (I think it came out in 2001 or so), it really helps things makes more sense. Mj was obviously still very mentally unbalanced, but when he explains things that he does (ex. Making his kids wear masks), it makes sense to him why he does it. Still crazy though.
A lot of his physical changes had to do with his father in my opinion. In the interview the reporter talks about how his dad used to berate michael for his big 'black' nose and how ugly it was. All I can say is joe jackson really funcked those kids up.

I spent like two hours hunting around in my basement the other night, trying to find Michael Jackson's Moonwalker videogame for the Sega Genesis so I could put it up on eBay. What a great videogame from my childhood. The whole plot of the game revolves around Michael saving these yellow-skinned little girls from a bunch of mafia thugs, and after he saved each one he'd do his signature crotch grab and scream "OWW!"
This was made several years before the first pedophilia accusations... and yet, my lovable yet often clueless dad bought it for my brother and me because it was like 90% off during the 1993 trial.
people alwys attack what they don't understan and noone understood micheal jackson!
ya! he may have been a junkie and he may have been a weirdo but lots of other legendary musicians were both too!
So that's your excuse? It's okay that he was a junkie and weirdo and whatever else because he was a legendary musician? Because he made good music that people loved.....he gets a pass for whatever wrongdoings he had? That's just ridiculous. I'm sorry but if some random guy on the street did a lot of the questionable things MJ did (or is alleged to have done) you would be upset but because he wrote Thriller it's okay.
people insisting they knew what was goin on with him, his kids and his life generally really kill me. he was aqquited of any wrongdoing time n time again ya'll...
Get your facts straight. He wasn't acquitted for "any wrongdoings time n time again". The first accusations were settled out of court when Michael paid the accuser and his family $22 million dollars. Would you pay $22 million dollars if you felt you did nothing wrong....which is what they claimed.
The second time he was acquitted. That is true. But even 2 of the 12 jurors felt regret for going along with the acquittal.....they claimed to be pressured into doing it after the trial.
Cook and Hultman said they agreed to go along with the other jurors when it became apparent that they would never convict the pop star. The two denied being motivated by money and tried to explain why they were coming forward now.
“There were a lot of people that were interested in this case from day one. People expect to know what’s going on with their justice system and how things work,” Hultman said.
Hultman, 62, told Cosby he was upset with the way other jurors approached the case: “The thing that really got me the most was the fact that people just wouldn’t take those blinders off long enough to really look at all the evidence that was there.”
and he was a musical genious who will remain vitally important for generations....so why can't people pay him the respect he earned or at least just leave him alone!
Nobody will leave him alone because it's such a huge news story and the more the uncover, the more they can report, and the more they report, the higher the ratings, which is pretty much what most of the news stations care about now.
But I must say again....being a musical genius does not give someone a pass for what they do in life. I'm not sure what really happened with MJ and the problems in his life. I don't know any more than anyone on here knows. None of us had personal relationships with the man. I just know that being a great musician does not mean you should be able to get away with stuff.

Spiritual teacher and medical doctor Deepak Chopra tells PEOPLE that his longtime friend Michael Jackson suffered from lupus, an autoimmune disease, and a skin disorder for many years.
"He had been diagnosed with lupus and he had vitiligo," Chopra says. "There's some recent research that suggests that if children have experienced either physical or verbal, mental, emotional or sexual abuse, then 20, 30 years later they can develop these autoimmune diseases including lupus."
Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that can damage any part of the body, and Chopra said it can cause skin discoloration known as vitiligo. "He had a lot of blotches on his skin, huge white patches all over his body. So he would cover up his body and that of course gave food for fodder to the press," Chopra says.
Chopra's son, Gotham, who was also close to Jackson, also says that the singer, 50, had lupus, but it was his skin disorder that bothered him.
"It was very disturbing to him that people thought he always wanted to be white and he was bleaching his skin. [But] he identified as being a black person and so it was troubling to him that everyone thought that he was a hater of his own race," Gotham explains. "And the lupus, why he didn't just come out more clearly and say that was the problem, I'm not sure. But I know it was something that bothered him a lot."
Personally, I feel it was a combination of the 2. In some photos his skin does look blotchy, but the blotches are nowhere near as white as he ended up. I think he just went and bleached his skin to get rid of the blotches.
I just find it really strange that he wouldn't give his own genetic material for his own kids. Why wouldn't he want a part of him to live on in his own children? Why use some stranger's DNA? It doesn't make any sense to me. I always assumed that his DNA was in his children, but it def appears otherwise.
Bearing children of one's own -- via regular means or surrogacy -- isn't important to everyone. Or maybe he wasn't able.
