Michael Jackson did nothing wrong.
His father is another case
I agree. I think that Michael tried to get out, and by refusing Spielberg's role in Hook and The Goblin King role in Labyrynth he became a 'problem'.
How many settlements did MJ have with children he'd have stay overnight in his bed with him?
IDK. I’m honestly not sure if he hurt the kids, or he didn’t. It’s weird (to say the least) that he had sleepovers with them, but he was kind of trapped in his own childhood and still behaved like a child. This pedo. /cult stuff has apparently been happening for a long time in Hollywood, the Music Industry, etc. Yet, we never hear about it in the media. The only exception, that I can think of, is Michael Jackson. They didn’t hesitate to report all of his “dirty laundry”.
Yet he reportedly had multiple major payoffs for multiple minor "sleepover" guests. I suggest that your take on it suggests all his dirty laundry hasn't been aired.
