He runs a facebook page called "In the Studio with Michael Jackson" and had this to say on his page:



A few words about the movie at Sundance.

I decided to not even mention the movie by name, but I wanted to share a quick recap of a conversation I had with one of my daughters about the movie.

Clearly there is a minor buzz about the movie, and she asked my feelings about it. I gave it a few moments of thought, and said something along these lines:

I wasn't with Michael 24/7.
I have never claimed to be his best friend.
I did, however, know him pretty well.

I also had very unique access to his personal space - meaning I have literally pulled speaker wires under his bed.
I have moved boxes in his closets to install amplifiers. I have been in his apartments and hotels, setting up dance floors and playback systems.
I have set up his personal lounges in studios - and maintained them. I have seen his books and magazines. I have seen his video collection.
I have been places - private places - that very few people have been allowed to enter.
This was part of my job.

The same can be said of many celebrities and non-celebrities I have worked with.
There is a trust that goes along with working so closely with them, in the most private parts of their home.

You overhear conversations and comments. You learn how to make the client feel completely comfortable around you.
They need people around them to provide services (in my case, building music and video systems) without the sense of being "watched".

I have seen and heard things in OTHER homes that were - for lack of a better word - sad. But not in Michael's.

Nothing.

Honestly, nothing.

When I started doing seminars about my work and friendship with Michael, more than one person mentioned the accusations - and "what if..."

My response was, and continues to be, if there was even a hint of concern that Michael somehow harmed a child, I would not offer my seminars.

Michael was a very unique person. I didn't experience his childhood, but I did get a very close look at his adult life.

I did have remarkably comfortable conversations with him. I have heard him make funny comments under this breath - but never hurtful, never tawdry. Never.

It isn't my job to defend him, nor to get riled about a tasteless movie. But I can be one voice saying that over the course of my 18+ year association and friendship with Michael

being allowed into his more personal spaces, bedrooms, lounges, hotel rooms, cars, etc., there is simply nothing I have seen or heard to offer even a shadow of doubt in my mind. Nothing.

Was he perfect? No.
Did he make impeccable decisions every moment of the day? No.
Was there even the smallest of hints that he could harm a child? Absolutely not.

The movie will come and go, and along the way a few people will make some snarky comments on social media.

As for me, I will maintain that I am proud - very proud - to have worked so closely, in so many places, over such a long period of time, with someone I had so much respect for.

I love sharing stories from the studio, tours and Neverland. I love meeting his fans, and re-uniting with old friends. I was blessed to have been a small part of his team - allowing so many opportunities along the way.

But mostly, I'm proud that we were friends.

Like I said before look at r kelly, look at priests, look at predators like Sandusky and Nassar it’s never just one or two.

Mj been dead for a decade, yet where are the accusers? So mj was a pedo and had access to thousands and thousands of children for decades and decades but just two accusers and he was found not guilty?

Come on

The King stays the King, no matter how much dirt they try and throw on his name.

Anyone with the eyes to see and ears to hear could tell the dude was innocent. How long shall they kill our prophets while we stand aside and look?

Michael Jackson was a weird dude but not a child molester. :mj:

I feel the same but I can’t lie and say m not scared about this documentary

Corey Feldman and Macauley Caulkin could easily blow up the joint on Mike but they’re even :stopitslime: on this shyt. Feldman WAS sexually abused by those Hollywood pedo monsters and he’s defiantly said the allegations on Mike are bullshyt

But if there is some concrete shyt this documentary exposes that we didn’t know about before then :francis:

A bunch of hearsay driven by someone with a strong agenda against Mike can be powerful though

Kellz had tapes, Cosby admitted he spiked drinks, Weinstein has a line of broads snitching on his fukkery. I need more than hearsay

I keep telling people they wanted Mike out the paint. He pissed them off with that ATV publishing deal. The smear campaign was an attempt to fukk his money up and force him to sell. In the end, they killed him and forced his family to sell.

one of the things that working against MJ, even in death - is that he's still very much so a staple in pop culture, and his estate is raking in millions.

the buzzards and leeches are STILL around because of this. If his estate were like whitney's, not making any money - then I don't think he'd be having these issues.

Am I the only one that noticed that the pic in the op is photoshopped to make it look like MJ is grabbing his crotch?
