Singer reckons media is 'ignorant'

Michael Jackson has spoken out about his tarnished image – insisting that he's the 'same Michael' who released Thriller nearly 25 years ago.

The pop legend, 49, says he ignores the cruel 'wacko Jacko' jibes.

'I don't pay attention to that,' he says. 'It's ignorance. It is usually not based on fact. Every neighbourhood has the guy who you don't see, so you gossip about him.

'You see those stories about him. There's the myth that he did this or he did that. People are crazy.'

The eccentric star says his personality hasn't changed.

'That Michael is probably the same Michael here,' he tells American magazine Ebony. 'I just wanted to get certain things accomplished first.

'But I always had this tug in the back of my head, the things I wanted to do, to raise children, have children. I'm enjoying it very much.'

But Michael – who is father to Prince Michael, 10, Paris, 9, and 5-year-old Prince Michael II - admits his success has come at a price.

'When you're on top of your game, when you're a pioneer, people come at you,' he explains. 'But I feel grateful – all those record-breaking things... I still feel grateful.'

Michael no longer lives at his Neverland ranch and Brad Pitt, 43, and Angelina Jolie, 32, are currently said to be interested in buying the abandoned property.

I read that he may be losing his home.

It has already been covered in a documentary on Michael, with plenty of self confessed evidence and witnesses/people who worked with him and know him, police/destectives who were given the case of capturing him for child abuse etc etc...

That Michael created the "wacko" image on purpose, it was his deliberate way of detouring the media away from his real life. He said the media and the world were easily mislead and extremely gullible for believing he actually kept a pet monkey named Bubbles and actually enjoys wearing strange masks etc.

But it helped keep people out of his private life.
So it is all true, and most of it isn't rumours, but he did it all on purpose.

He lost his home and Neverland because the boys who visited there to "play" with him all day, were potential young actors...the parents had agreed to let their kids play with Michael because they thought it could help launch their kids careers. Note ONLY boys were allowed to Neverland.

There is video evidence of this that Michael shot himself and released to the press to show them they were all having a good time...with Michael running around topless playing with all the young boys.

He spent most of his money buying these families new homes, or paying them off to keep quiet, as clearly stated by police evidence and his own sister.

Now he's had to sell everything and move to LA, said to be the place "legends go to die" because all the washed up successful people end up there. He has next to no money left because of what he did and lives in an average house surrounded by regular people, something he promised his manager he'd never let happen.

So yea...all this rubbish about "im just the same as I used to be" is absolutely ridiculous, as he's self confessed to creating the "wacko" image himself and playing everyone for fools, and there's also conclusive proof, including witness accounts and copies of the cheque he used to pay a family off, that he abused kids.

He moved into a house with one of the kids and his family, and slept in the top bunk whilst the kid slept in the bottom bunk. The father caught Michael "moon cuddling" his son from behind, asleep on the bottom bunk, and later asked his son if he'd been having sexual contact with Michael...to which he replied "yes"

The police asked the child if he could prove this, and the kid announced that Michael had a couple of dark brown markings on his penis...the police later found this to be true. His manager also said on the day he was receiving an award, he picked it up then ran off to the "Honeymoon" suite with one of the boys and locked himself in there all day long.

He's just a sick, twisted individual, and anyone who knows the facts will agree with this I hope.

If you don't know the facts, you can't really comment.
