The History of Michael Jackson’s Face
from the not-really-suitable-for-children dept.
A nice visual wrap-up of the changes in The King of Pop’s face over the years, with accompanying commentary. Nothing new, really, but still, like, whoa.

I am a Michael Jackson fan, I noticed that no one has mentioned that Michael’s upper lip (right size) does not move when he smiles or opens his mouth covering his upper teeth. Please watch his NY concert from last year to see what I’m talking about. Does any one what happened?
December 6th, 2002 at 9:03 pm
I am a very big michael jackson fan. I think that every one should leave him alone!!!! He never did any thing wrong to anybody! All he did was make music that every one listens too. Let him be, and let him raise his kids. Nothing happened to his son he is safe leave it alone!!!!!!!!! If anybody has anything to say to me write me at youngsmutta@aol.com Ill reply to any thing
no hating on michael if your going to do that do it for someone else’s e-mail

Michael Jackson, the people’s Champion and King of Pop. It seems as if the ordinary people don’t mind or love Michael, and the only people bagging him out is the media. Michael has given this world something we can never thank him for, he has inspired all of the singers of today to be as good, but the bear truth is no one has come close to Michael’s talent. He’s lived one hard life as a child, that is why I truly feel sorry for him.
Michael is quite like Bruce Lee, both being extremely and unbelievebly excellent in their professions, the bare fact is that they were both too good for the world, and some of us couldn’t accept it and bagged them for anything they could find. I’d really like to see other people’s reaction if they had so much money that they didn’t know what to do with it, who knows what kind of hideous and wicked things you would do. You can NEVER ignore Michael’s history as a child, if I want on about that i wouldn’t stop.
Michael Jackson is a gift from God, God wanted a way to entertain us, so he sent down Michael, an original, extremely talented dancer and singer. God bless you Michael Jackson, you have forever changed the history of the world, you are a mark of life.

I grew up listening to Michael and was inspired by every song he ever sang. Now listening to those it is depressing, knowing how great much greater he could have been, if only more people could have not judged him so harshly.

michael jackson is an inspiration. he is the greatest entertainer of all time. even if you don’t like him or his songs… when he’s on stage you can’t take yer eyes off him. it bothers me that people judge him before they know the whole story. people are so quick to jump to negative conclusions, just because he is unconventional. it is sick the way that he is hunted by the press. people wonder why he is the way he is… why is he so secretive? its because whenever he opens up to the public and the media, they twist his words and make him seem like a horrible person. i wonder if it really makes a person feel better to bring mj down. will you do better on a science test if you say something negative and hurtful about him? if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all. believe it or not, michael is a person too and even if he doesn’t show it, or doesn’t seem to care, the horrible comments made about him must leave him sad and distressed. he has done so much for this world, helped children and written beautiful songs. and BY THE WAY, he is not obsessed with children. i completely understand him. he is trying to recreate the childhood he never had, whats the harm in that? children are the only people he can trust because they are not so quick to judge and don’t see him for his money or fame, they see him for who he is. michael had a really tough childhood and wants to make sure that other children don’t suffer the way he had. its perfectly innocent and caring. there is no big deal that he lets children sleep in his room and bed, as he said, its not sexual. the kids want to sleep in his room, why not? they feel close to him and don’t want to sleep in some guest room down the hall. i kno when i was little i loved sleeping in the same bed and my mother and father or my uncle and aunt or grandmother. it was a wonderful feeling to be so close to people i loved and i totally understand where mj is coming from. on the topic of mj’s surgery, i find it highly unlikely he’s only had two plastic surgeries but who’s business is it n e ways? its his life, his face, let him do what he wants. but in all fairness, when they compare his face now to his face then, they are comparing the face of a 44 year old with vitiligo to the face of a 24 year old without the signs of vitiligo. now tell me, who looks the same at 44 as they did when they were 24? people comment on his children wearing masks in public. i personally think its a smart idea. his children would be wonderful target for some psyco looking for a good ransome. he is trying his best to keep them sheltered and safe from people who might hurt them and from the prying eyes of the media. michael jackson seems like he would be the perfect caring father. he knows what it feels like to be abused and hurt and therefore understands what he must do to protect his beautiful children. i hope someday this world will learn to accept, cherish and love michael jackson like i have, before it is too late. i hope someday i will get to meet the man who has inspired me to be a better person and to work for what i hope and believe in

RE: Interview with British Journalist that betrayed Michael Jackson.
I’ve never been a fan of Michael Jackson only because his music isn’t quite my style. That British (mid-eastern) journalist that Michael opened his heart and soul to, did a disservice to the man. He had 8 months of tape, of interviews and all he could come up with out of those 8 months is 90 minutes of tape showing the controversial side of Michael Jackson. While watching it, I could not help but feel sorry for him - that man is in great emotional pain - and this journalist took advantage of that, which was so very wrong. He betrayed Michael Jackson and Portrayed him as a nutcase. When it was over, I had a sinking feeling in my stomach and I said ” He’s going to feel betrayed by this.” And that’s exactly what he felt. I saw nothing and was witness to anything he did wrong. Even that baby dangling wasn’t baby dangling the day they put it on TV… he had his arms firmly around that child and nothing was going to hurt that baby. What this journalist did was unethical and a damn shame. Michael does not have to come out with his own interview to prove otherwise; it was quite obvious he was in emotional pain and hurt and that this man betrayed his trust hoping to come across as the person he is by allowing his mask to be dropped. I would give anything to meet a man who can cry, who can feel, who would not do anything to hurt another human being; there’s not enough good people out there. But you tell him to hold his head high, not everyone has been fooled by this documentary. He’s good people and we’ll leave it at that. But he does have a lot of sadness in him and it’s really too bad he doesn’t have someone of his peers to help ground him and make him happy. The reason he probably turns to children more than adults is because children don’t judge you - their acceptance and love is unconditional. I prefer babies and young kids over adults any day!! Please let him know he is not alone; there are a lot of people out there rooting for him and he has nothing to prove to anyone. Only God knows what goes on in the hearts of men.
Tell him to just let it pass and it will.

I would like to write to Michael Jackson. I believe he was betrayed and is greatly misunderstood; want him to know not everyone sees it that way. I am not a fan, just a sensitive person who wants to reach out to another sensitive person so that he does not feel so alone. Thank you.

Michael Jackson is the greatest music artist on the planet there is. He is the music legend of the century, and he shouldn’t have to take all the crud the press pushes in his face. you can really tell it gets to him. sure, he doesn’t look like he did before, but the reason his cheeks and chin weren’t as prominent before was because after he got over his anorexia, he gained the weight back, but the tissue damage made it form in different areas. plus, do you know n e adults age 45 or so that look the same the as they when they were 20? It’s impossible. His skin raises some controversies, about how he wanted to make some of his skin lighter, so that it would match the rest of the skin that was damaged from the disease. as he did say in the documentry, suntan lotion companies are making millions off of the fact that white people want dark skin, but when a black man wants white skin, then people go crazy. another thing about his face…is he not allowed to have a gotee? He IS a guy, c’mon ppl. he just shaved b4, it’s all right if n e other guy in the world grows a beard, but if MJ does, people, talk…and it’s not right. no wonder he wants to mask his kids…not only does he not want n e one to recognize them to kidnap them, be he doesn’t want them to get put into all of the allegations he has been through. There is nothing wrong with his sharing his room with kids. don’t you ever remember when your parents let you come to bed with them during a storm, or when the monsters in your room bothered you? you went for comfort. That’s what these kids want…comfort. he is trying to provide kids with everything he never had for his childhood. kids understand him better than n e body, and he loves them. if everyone else is too stubborn to see what an awesome guy Mike is for providing them with everything they could ever hope for, that is just fine with me. Just see if someone gives them help when they need it. Michael has done many things that we will NEVER EVER forget. He preformed the moonwalk, taught us to beware of the thriller. now suck it up and leave him alone!!!
March 13th, 2003 at 3:52 pm
From the postings I see here, all of you MJ lovers clearly need a check-up from the neck-up.
WackoJacko has got to be winner the all-time weirdest celebrity award ! He’s succeeded in transforming himself from the most talented perfomer in the history of Pop Music into a cheap carnival side-show freak. Add to that the whiny, crybaby, sick, little boy, wanna-be semi-child molestor and you have yourself the very antithesis of what it is to be a man.
p.s. and based on his last album as proof, he can’t sing or write music for shit anymore.
March 15th, 2003 at 11:49 am
oh my GOD, Mike can make u crazy by his singing n dancing, hez really a legend, no matter abt face beauty, he has a voice beauty, Mike, no1 was like u, no1 is like u, n no1 can b, u r da bestttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt, MAY GOD BLESS YOU.

Why are all these people writing to Michael Jackson here? I mean, this is not the official website…
Anyway, I regret to see what Michael’s doing to his face. I was actually quite shocked when I saw all those photo’s on the television and on the linked page here.
People say Michael’s addicted to Plastic Surgery. Judging from those images, one might get that idea. So dude, lay of it! You’re not looking any better by all the work done. If there was a way it could be undone, you should take that, nomatter what the costs.
In the scarce hope Michael actually reads this: as you said a number of times in several interviews, you had a rough childhood. Okay, that sucks, but snap out of it! It’s time to grow up. I get the feeling you’re still a child, and I don’t mean that in a negative way. But like I said: it’s time to grow up!
Growing up doesn’t mean losing your inner child…

March 24th, 2003 at 3:55 pm
I think Michael Jackson is a great singer, songwriter, and dancer. He is also a great man. I have loved his music ever since I can remember. I think people should just leave him alone and let him live his life.
March 25th, 2003 at 5:59 pm
wow michael jackson you would think you would have enough money to get your face fixed I do think that you are a great singer and dancer but you should really fix your face!
April 7th, 2003 at 3:00 am
Those who mock Michael’s looks never read the truth about vitiligo. Scientists and doctors know the truth: Autoimmune disorders hurt, change the body’s appearance, and can be deadly. I know. I have one. If you wish to participate in stopping the media from trying to kill one of the best artists in the world, please email me. Jackson fans, don’t worry about what those with profanity say. Their intelligence is being revealed in what they write. The media is being evil. oswaldkin@yahoo.com
April 14th, 2003 at 3:20 pm
MJ is the bomb!!!!!!!!!
YOU ROCK MICHAEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 17th, 2003 at 10:22 am
Watching Michael’s video “Rock With You” from his first solo album I was saddened. In the video, he looks GREAT. He had only his first nosejob done after breaking it, and it looked seamless. He was a good looking guy. For some reason, it seems like it wasn’t good enough for him. Perhaps its like anorexia, where the person believes they are one way when they really arent. Damn, imagine if Michael had stopped after his first corrective nose surgery…he’d still look great I bet.
Michael WAS #1 and is a legend in his own right…but he just can’t cut it anymore. His appearance is grotesque, his music is without that “passion” he once had, and the public is becoming wary of his eccentric behavior. I must admit I still love the guy though…he just needs some psychiatric help to deal with his fucked childhood.
April 19th, 2003 at 4:32 am

I think everyone dat hates Michael Jackson should get serious help. How can you bag someone who has done so much for our world. His music and dancing style will be remembered for future generations because it is unique and one of a kind. Why is the media so quick to humiliate and degrade him and call him a so called ‘child molestor’ when he has given so much money to charities? STOP BAGGING MICHAEL BECAUSE YOU ALL ARE JEALOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All you lot who are constantly being cruel to him about his face are too stupid to realise that people should not care about what’s on the outside but what’s on the inside, he has too much going on in his life without all the press hounding him, how would you like it?
May 25th, 2003 at 9:18 am
I’m the same person as the last post, I forgot to say that he has done a lot more for the world than any of the sad people who are mean to him.

Yeah. I don’t care what you people say about The King of Pop. Michael was great. Really great. No one could express their music like him. He was a great entertainer, he still is a great entertainer. Yeah, he fucked up his face, but who really cares? He’s not as good as he was, but he still is the King of Pop. All you who are insulting him are only listening to the ‘group’ of people who also insult him. All of you who stick with him, I wish nothing bad upon you. That’s just my two bucks. Bye.

June 13th, 2003 at 9:38 pm
michael jackson is a robot who was originally programmed to be the greatest musical talent of his time. Somewhere along the line, either by accident or bad workmanship of the robot, his programming was altered. Now he’s a sex-obsessed robot programmed to attempt to seduce, and have sex with little boys. He is the mose efficiant robot ever created. Just for the record, MJ does NOT have sex with little boys, he just jerks them off with his hand and mouth. Goodbye.

July 8th, 2003 at 4:57 am
Michael is my true love!!
Best singer ever!
best performer ever
he is the best dancer ever’
I love his film clips
he is so nice and kind
So he has had a few plastic surgeries. He is still very sexy to me… being a great performer and a great charity donator is enough to be sexy to me.
He loves children. and NO he didnt molest any children. Because if he DID…wouldnt he have been sent to jail? hmmm…I believe him paying that 20m or whatever it was ..was just to stop it from getting any further..
just look what he has achieved and how he carries himself and how much kindness he sends out to very poor people of this world and you will see that he is a generally a very nice and caring person. Everyone that is close to him KNOWS that he is a great guy…
****Lover of MJ forever****
July 10th, 2003 at 1:47 pm
Michael Jackson is a very talented artist, but should by now have GROWN UP.
And should by now have stopped messing with his body. It’s sooo imaturely childish.

Michael,
when you pick your nose does more than boogers come out? like, part of your nose??

July 18th, 2003 at 1:20 pm
NOW LISTEN HERE MR. FUZZ OR WHATEVA YO NAME IS. WE CAN BE SORRY FOR MICHAEL IF WE WANT TOO! AND MICHAEL WASN’T SEXUALY ABUSED AS A CHILD YOU NOMBSCULL. HE WAS ABUSED BY HIS DAD.
THAT’A WHY HE ACTS THE WAY HE DOES. WHEN HE WAS A CHILD, HE COULDN’T ACT LIKE ONE BECAUSE HE HAD A LOT OF WORK TO DO. WHEN HE BECAME AN ADULT HE ALREDY NEW WHAT IT WAS LIKE. BUT NOW SINCE HE IS AN ADULT HE CAN DO WHATEVER HE PLEASE. SO HE WANTED TO ACT LIKE A CHILD SINCE HE COULDN’T ACT LIKE ONE BACK THEN.
AND ONE MORE THING BEFORE I’M DONE, ALL YOU MICHAEL JACKSON HATERS OUT THERE, DON’T CALL HIM A FREAK BECAUSE HE’S NOT. HE JUST MISUNDERSTOOD. JUST LEAVE HIM ALONE FOR ONCE.
July 22nd, 2003 at 1:48 pm

Michael Jackson is a freak. I admit that he is a great singer and defidently the king of pop, but he has somehting wrong with him. he changed his entire face, and sleeps with little boys. he dangled his baby over a balcony. yeah nothing happened, but what if soemthing had? he should have thought about that before he did such a stupid thing.
August 24th, 2003 at 10:45 am
Hi!
I think Michael Jackson rules!! He IS the King of pop and that’s what he’ll stay! People should STOP talking and saying how ugly he is! Who cares what colour he is or what he really looks like? Does it really matter? Does it matter that he has changed himself? He is a great singer and he doesn’t need to be critisized!

MJ is the best performer I’ve seen in my lifetime, and I think he is a genius. However, there is a fine line between genius and insanity, the gift and the curse. I feel sorry for him and when people say he should get over his childhood etc. it’s not that simple. Sure, plenty of people have been abused and got over it but that is only half the story. People forget the effect of fame and celebrity which can fuck up people who only become famous as adults. But to have all that pressure as a kid, to be the most famous kid on the planet, working in the most superficial and image conscious industry on the planet, then to become the biggest star ever on the planet, the first megastar of the MTV age (remember before that an artist’s image was less important than his music), having been surrounded all his life by sycophants and ‘yes men’ who refuse to treat him like a normal guy, and obsessive fans who scream and faint at the sight if you…. Try to imagine going through all that - now can anyone tell me honestly that you wouldn’t be just a little fucked up.
I once saw a snippet of an interview he did in 1979 in which he said “people won’t talk to me like they will their next door neighbour”. This has been the case for as long as he can remember. How can a man develop ‘normally’ if no-one will interact with him on a normal level. He will never even have learned how to hold a ‘normal’ conversation. Except of course with children. They are the only one’s who might possibly treat him like another human being, and people wonder why he feels so comfortable with them.
Anyway, my point is that abuse is damaging, but fame can be far worse. Fame is a curse. I think extreme fame is the reason we see the man we see today. Does anyone think that surgeons would have carried on working on MJ if he wasn’t famous? I don’t think so. They would have done the ethical thing and refused to do any more work after a certain point. They may also have recommended counselling for body dysmorphic syndrome.
MJs face is now a sad reflection of how unhappy he must be on the inside. It’s tragic that one who has bought such joy to so many throgh his work should be so sad himself. Just goes to show, money can’t buy happiness.
As for child molesting, HE WAS FRAMED. That’s why HE HAS NEVER EVEN BEEN CHARGED BY ANY CRIMINAL COURT due to a lack of evidence, let alone convicted. As for the father of Jordy Chandler, if his son had really been abused do you not think he would have tried to get MJ behind bars, not EXTORT money out of him. He would also have wanted to protect his son from the publicity. He was jealous cos MJ was more of a father to Jordy than he had ever been and saw an opportunity to get rich. And people say that Jacko is sick!! (for more info see ‘Was Michael Jackson Framed’, GQ Magazine, 1994).
Love to MJ, thanks for all the music, nobody is perfect but you are certainly not the monster some make you out to be. To quote Bono during U2’s homecoming gig in 1994 “Hello Michael Jackson if you are out there, I don’t believe you’re bad”.
One thing is forever true, NOBODY SAYS ‘OW’ QUITE LIKE MJ!! Peace!

Michael Jackson has had a tough life and so have many people I understand, but those with a similar upbringing to those of MJ have not had the press hounding them everyday and watching every step they take. If all you who don’t even know MJ are so quick to judge him then why don’t you stop being so biased and listen to his side of the story. I have heard interviews from him where he used to cry at a young age as he would see children in the park and want to join them but he had to go to the studio to create great music for us to enjoy and you thank him for that by assuming he has problems for wanting to get those precious years back.
As for the face, he had serious problems with his father, who used to physically and emotionally abuse him. He would tease him for having a big nose, as did his brothers who when he tried to join in with a basketball game they were enjoying, was replied with, “No Michael, you can’t play, you’re nose is too bug, it will get in the way”. That is enough to create emotional problems for anyone having your family tease your appearance and then have to see photos and posters of yourself everywhere you go and see that your nose is making you look like the very person you don’t want to be, your father. He saw his face changing into that of his father and wanted to change it before he turned into him. Of course you’re going to want to change it. Get over it. It’s his problem and has nothing to do with you. It’s only because he is in the spotlight all the time that you even notice it. If he was treated in a normal way he wouldn’t’ have these problems and it wouldn’t be seen as such a big deal.
Haven’t any of you heard of the skin disease, vitiligo? If he was so ashamed of his skin colour then why does he still consider himself a black person? He can’t help it, he didn’t ask for his skin colour to change. Why is it such a big problem anyway? Millions of people change their skin colour everyday and no one has a problem with that. In many cultures pale skin is avoided.
I put the blame on the press. He was obviously set up by J Chandler and his father. Just ask his famous friends like Macaulay Calkin, he claimed MJ never touched him and why would he? He wasn’t after personal gain he already had plenty of money. If MJ was such a sicko he wouldn’t have thought that this kid would be an easier target to say someone with money who was well known, he would have just gone to the nearest kid he could find. And don’t you see it as a little suspicious that his mother and sister didn’t do anything about it. They didn’t see a problem as they too were friends of Michael’s. It was only when he was in his father’s custody that Michael was targeted. If the boys father was so determined to make MJ pay for his ‘crime’ then why didn’t he see to it that MJ was locked up instead of leaving him alone as soon as he got the millions of dollars he sought for. Poor MJ just wanted the whole thing to go away so he could go back to doing the things he loved like making music and visiting sick kids in hospital.
Finally, those of you who say that his music and performance are sliding have to look at his 30th Anniversary concert in 2001. That was the best concert I’ve ever seen and it was only on TV. He lights up the stage, he is amazing. His songs are still great, maybe not as good as some of his earlier work - but do you blame him? I don’t think he’s in a happy state of mind, which is acceptable considering everything he has been through lately. Of course he’s not going to write as good as he did when everyone loved him and he was treated fairly and truly appreciated. So if you want him to write better music, show him a bit of respect and get over his personal issues they have nothing to do with you, and in his words, “just leave me alone”

I honestly dont think anyone can actually understand Michael. The only person that actually can is Michael him self. We all have our different ways we look at him based on the stuff we know. Half this “stuff” we know is probably not even true. Like this child molestation BS. This subject alone most likely ruined michael’s reputation. I for one HAVE been molested as a child. I honestly dont think much of it, i can almost laugh about it. This may sound a little unlikely but its true. Witch rises the question. Why would the little fucker care that sued michael?(EVEN IF HE REALLY DID GET MOLESTED****) I mean lets try and be a little rational here. Who do u think would want to sue him, the kid *OR* the kids parents (when i was molested i told my mom not to press charges. so we didnt). Its even more probable that the kids parents made this whole lawsuit up and told the kid to lie the authority. Michael jackson is a very wealthy man, seemingly secretive (who can blame him) and most likly had the chance to molest a child. Now lets take that and put it in place. WHO WOULD NOT SUE HIM. Its almost like the perfect murder. I mean honestly, if u are smart enough, it can be so easy to fuck someone over like that. Why would he sing about being a victom. (Hmmmmmmm, this is alot harder then rocket science…) People may think he is just lieing when he says he never molested children. because that would save him alot of trouble. But if u read between the lines its not hard to realize hes not lieing. Im no psychic but if u think about how hes a perfectionist and he loves children so much. Then wouldn’t he be extremly cautious about how he did it, and not get caught?
im a 15 year old sober, straight, white, “wigger”, male, semi-michael jackson fan (i would reather be his friend rather than buy his next CD.)and i love special ops, stealth, wilderness survival, anything relitive to military, and i plan to be and elite soldier in the army (delta force).
base your own opinions on this and michael jackson. But he is most likly a good man. Do u know any evil men that dance good?

Well after seeing all the great (and lame) opinions I had to add one. I think it is amazing how the media tell us it is ‘bad’ and ‘wrong’ to be different. You can tell from a few minutes of seeing MJ, that he is a kind and generous person. He has been bashed his whole life for his talents, both physically and emotionally, and after 45 years of being the best, and after selling the most albums in history, he is confronted with ’so how did you get so ugly?’ Michael Jackson, like his music is timeless. He defies all genres that we base judgement of a person on. He is sexless, ageless and raceless. As a species, we have been trained by media, to judge people in many ways at first glance. Within seconds of meeting someone, you find yourself subconsiously thinking ‘what sex, what preference, what color, what income..’ MJ defies all this, and due to his nonconforming to what we have been programmed to accept as ‘the norm’ the media take his credibility, so that the rest of us don’t try to think for ourselves. I guess what Im saying is try not to judge, try not to let people hurt you if you are different, and be who you want to be, not what you’re told to be. Love ya MJ.
November 19th, 2003 at 7:22 am
hey listen Michael is a CHILD MOLESTER he doesen’t deserve children, and if he was a norml person that wasn’t a star. Child Services would have gotten involved already, he looks like a guy a know that got half his face blown off in the war…TO ALL YOU MICHAEL LOVERS—> WHY DON’T YOU VOTE FOR HIM TO BE YOUR NEXT GOVERNOR MAYBEE HE COULD LEGALIZE CHILD PORN CAUZ I KNOW ALL YA’LL LIKE ALL THAT SHIT!!! BETTER YET MAYBEE HE COULD INVITE YA TO “NEVER NEVER LAND” AND YOU COULD ALL DRESS UP LIKE FAIRIES AND PLAY UNDER THE COVERS WITH A SPECIAL MONKEY….

michael jackson is an innocent man! He may come across to do some fucked up things but the fucking man loves kids so thats why they stay wid him!

well well,
you know i understand that many of you are fans of michael jackson but if you cant see what is going on, you are completely blind. the man would have been convicted in 1993 had california law been able to force a testimony. instead, michael paid a multi-million dollar lawsuit to the family and they refused to testify.
this child that is alleging abuse now, is the same child in the special that michael was in recently with a man named martin bashir. he has cancer and is sick. there are multiple counts in the arrest warrant. the child even made a statement saying that he was given alcohol and sleeping pills(i am sure some of the other counts will involve this).
on the news this morning, they revealed that they found a secret hidden room in michaels bedroom, and it was upstairs, hidden behind a wardrobe closet. inside the room there were pictures of shirtless young boys on the wall, pictures of babies, toys, stuffed animals and a bed.
go look it up on any national news site. as for me personally, i am sick and tired of you moronic assholes who cant get it through your thick skulls that this man is a child molester. i understand that you like his music, that it may crush you, that you may feel betrayed, but it is what it is. this time, he cannot buy his way out of court. he will be forced to appear, and to face these charges. as for me, if i even heard a *rumor* of someone abusing children, the LAST thing i would do is let my kid go over there for milk and cookies. you people who blindly defend michael are the ones who would allow kids to do such a thing. wise up and see the truth. this man will not survive these allegations this time.

You’re right if Michael Jackson is guilty of child abuse then he DESERVES to go to JAIL, and be punished for his crimes, but what if the guy is innocent? I mean do you think after the 93 case if he was really guilty he’d still hang around with kids?….I believe this new allegation comes from a family who contacted Michael as it was the boys dying wish to meet him, at the time Doctors diagnosed the child with only 2 weeks to live, after spending time on the ranch with Mike, the kids cancer went into remission! That’s fact! Michael even donated money towards his medical bills!
Who knows how the case will go in court, maybe once and for all we’ll find the REAL truth….If Mike is guilty lock him in jail and throw away the key, if not many people need to look at how they have crucified him in the media these last 10 years.

Was Michael Jackson Framed?
The Untold Story
Mary A. Fisher GQ, October 1994
DID MICHAEL DO IT?
The untold story of the events that brought down a superstar.
Before O.J. Simpson, there was Michael Jackson — another beloved black celebrity seemingly brought down by allegations of scandal in his personal life. Those allegations — that Jackson had molested a 13-year-old boy — instigated a multimillion-dollar lawsuit, two grand-jury investigations and a shameless media circus. Jackson, in turn, filed charges of extortion against some of his accusers. Ultimately, the suit was settled out of court for a sum that has been estimated at $20 million; no criminal charges were brought against Jackson by the police or the grand juries. This past August, Jackson was in the news again, when Lisa Marie Presley, Elvis’s daughter, announced that she and the singer had married.
As the dust settles on one of the nation’s worst episodes of media excess, one thing is clear: The American public has never heard a defense of Michael Jackson. Until now.
It is, of course, impossible to prove a negative — that is, prove that something didn’t happen. But it is possible to take an in-depth look at the people who made the allegations against Jackson and thus gain insight into their character and motives. What emerges from such an examination, based on court documents, business records and scores of interviews, is a persuasive argument that Jackson molested no one and that he himself may have been the victim of a well-conceived plan to extract money from him.
More than that, the story that arises from this previously unexplored territory is radically different from the tale that has been promoted by tabloid and even mainstream journalists. It is a story of greed, ambition, misconceptions on the part of police and prosecutors, a lazy and sensation-seeking media and the use of a powerful, hypnotic drug. It may also be a story about how a case was simply invented.
Neither Michael Jackson nor his current defense attorneys agreed to be interviewed for this article. Had they decided to fight the civil charges and go to trial, what follows might have served as the core of Jackson’s defense — as well as the basis to further the extortion charges against his own accusers, which could well have exonerated the singer.
Jackson’s troubles began when his van broke down on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles in May 1992. Stranded in the middle of the heavily trafficked street, Jackson was spotted by the wife of Mel Green, an employee at Rent-a-Wreck, an offbeat car-rental agency a mile away. Green went to the rescue. When Dave Schwartz, the owner of the car-rental company, heard Green was bringing Jackson to the lot, he called his wife, June, and told her to come over with their 6-year-old daughter and her son from her previous marriage. The boy, then 12, was a big Jackson fan. Upon arriving, June Chandler Schwartz told Jackson about the time her son had sent him a drawing after the singer’s hair caught on fire during the filming of a Pepsi commercial. Then she gave Jackson their home number.
“It was almost like she was forcing [the boy] on him,” Green recalls. “I think Michael thought he owed the boy something, and that’s when it all started.”
Certain facts about the relationship are not in dispute. Jackson began calling the boy, and a friendship developed. After Jackson returned from a promotional tour, three months later, June Chandler Schwartz and her son and daughter became regular guests at Neverland, Jackson’s ranch in Santa Barbara County. During the following year, Jackson showered the boy and his family with attention and gifts, including video games, watches, an after-hours shopping spree at Toys “R” Us and trips around the world — from Las Vegas and Disney World to Monaco and Paris.
By March 1993, Jackson and the boy were together frequently and the sleepovers began. June Chandler Schwartz had also become close to Jackson “and liked him enormously,” one friend says. “He was the kindest man she had ever met.”
Jackson’s personal eccentricities — from his attempts to remake his face through plastic surgery to his preference for the company of children — have been widely reported. And while it may be unusual for a 35-year-old man to have sleepovers with a 13-year-old child, the boy’s mother and others close to Jackson never thought it odd. Jackson’s behavior is better understood once it’s put in the context of his own childhood.
“Contrary to what you might think, Michael’s life hasn’t been a walk in the park,” one of his attorneys says. Jackson’s childhood essentially stopped — and his unorthodox life began — when he was 5 years old and living in Gary, Indiana. Michael spent his youth in rehearsal studios, on stages performing before millions of strangers and sleeping in an endless string of hotel rooms. Except for his eight brothers and sisters, Jackson was surrounded by adults who pushed him relentlessly, particularly his father, Joe Jackson — a strict, unaffectionate man who reportedly beat his children.
Jackson’s early experiences translated into a kind of arrested development, many say, and he became a child in a man’s body. “He never had a childhood,” says Bert Fields, a former attorney of Jackson’s. “He is having one now. His buddies are 12-year-old kids. They have pillow fights and food fights.” Jackson’s interest in children also translated into humanitarian efforts. Over the years, he has given millions to causes benefiting children, including his own Heal The World Foundation.
But there is another context — the one having to do with the times in which we live — in which most observers would evaluate Jackson’s behavior. “Given the current confusion and hysteria over child sexual abuse,” says Dr. Phillip Resnick, a noted Cleveland psychiatrist, “any physical or nurturing contact with a child may be seen as suspicious, and the adult could well be accused of sexual misconduct.”
Jackson’s involvement with the boy was welcomed, at first, by all the adults in the youth’s life — his mother, his stepfather and even his biological father, Evan Chandler (who also declined to be interviewed for this article). Born Evan Robert Charmatz in the Bronx in 1944, Chandler had reluctantly followed in the footsteps of his father and brothers and become a dentist. “He hated being a dentist,” a family friend says. “He always wanted to be a writer.” After moving in 1973 to West Palm Beach to practice dentistry, he changed his last name, believing Charmatz was “too Jewish-sounding,” says a former colleague. Hoping somehow to become a screenwriter, Chandler moved to Los Angeles in the late Seventies with his wife, June Wong, an attractive Eurasian who had worked briefly as a model.
Chandler’s dental career had its precarious moments. In December 1978, while working at the Crenshaw Family Dental Center, a clinic in a low-income area of L.A., Chandler did restoration work on sixteen of a patient’s teeth during a single visit. An examination of the work, the Board of Dental Examiners concluded, revealed “gross ignorance and/or inefficiency” in his profession. The board revoked his license; however, the revocation was stayed, and the board instead suspended him for ninety days and placed him on probation for two and a half years. Devastated, Chandler left town for New York. He wrote a film script but couldn’t sell it.
Months later, Chandler returned to L.A. with his wife and held a series of dentistry jobs. By 1980, when their son was born, the couple’s marriage was in trouble. “One of the reasons June left Evan was because of his temper,” a family friend says. They divorced in 1985. The court awarded sole custody of the boy to his mother and ordered Chandler to pay $500 a month in child support, but a review of documents reveals that in 1993, when the Jackson scandal broke, Chandler owed his ex-wife $68,000 — a debt she ultimately forgave.
A year before Jackson came into his son’s life, Chandler had a second serious professional problem. One of his patients, a model, sued him for dental negligence after he did restoration work on some of her teeth. Chandler claimed that the woman had signed a consent form in which she’d acknowledged the risks involved. But when Edwin Zinman, her attorney, asked to see the original records, Chandler said they had been stolen from the trunk of his Jaguar. He provided a duplicate set. Zinman, suspicious, was unable to verify the authenticity of the records. “What an extraordinary coincidence that they were stolen,” Zinman says now. “That’s like saying ‘The dog ate my homework.’ ” The suit was eventually settled out of court for an undisclosed sum.
Despite such setbacks, Chandler by then had a successful practice in Beverly Hills. And he got his first break in Hollywood in 1992, when he cowrote the Mel Brooks film Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Until Michael Jackson entered his son’s life, Chandler hadn’t shown all that much interest in the boy. “He kept promising to buy him a computer so they could work on scripts together, but he never did,” says Michael Freeman, formerly an attorney for June Chandler Schwartz. Chandler’s dental practice kept him busy, and he had started a new family by then, with two small children by his second wife, a corporate attorney.
At first, Chandler welcomed and encouraged his son’s relationship with Michael Jackson, bragging about it to friends and associates. When Jackson and the boy stayed with Chandler during May 1993, Chandler urged the entertainer to spend more time with his son at his house. According to sources, Chandler even suggested that Jackson build an addition onto the house so the singer could stay there. After calling the zoning department and discovering it couldn’t be done, Chandler made another suggestion — that Jackson just build him a new home.
That same month, the boy, his mother and Jackson flew to Monaco for the World Music Awards. “Evan began to get jealous of the involvement and felt left out,” Freeman says. Upon their return, Jackson and the boy again stayed with Chandler, which pleased him — a five-day visit, during which they slept in a room with the youth’s half brother. Though Chandler has admitted that Jackson and the boy always had their clothes on whenever he saw them in bed together, he claimed that it was during this time that his suspicions of sexual misconduct were triggered. At no time has Chandler claimed to have witnessed any sexual misconduct on Jackson’s part.
Chandler became increasingly volatile, making threats that alienated Jackson, Dave Schwartz and June Chandler Schwartz. In early July 1993, Dave Schwartz, who had been friendly with Chandler, secretly tape-recorded a lengthy telephone conversation he had with him. During the conversation, Chandler talked of his concern for his son and his anger at Jackson and at his ex-wife, whom he described as “cold and heartless.” When Chandler tried to “get her attention” to discuss his suspicions about Jackson, he says on the tape, she told him “Go @#%$ yourself.”
“I had a good communication with Michael,” Chandler told Schwartz. “We were friends. I liked him and I respected him and everything else for what he is. There was no reason why he had to stop calling me. I sat in the room one day and talked to Michael and told him exactly what I want out of this whole relationship. What I want.”
Admitting to Schwartz that he had “been rehearsed” about what to say and what not to say, Chandler never mentioned money during their conversation. When Schwartz asked what Jackson had done that made Chandler so upset, Chandler alleged only that “he broke up the family. [The boy] has been seduced by this guy’s power and money.” Both men repeatedly berated themselves as poor fathers to the boy.
Elsewhere on the tape, Chandler indicated he was prepared to move against Jackson: “It’s already set,” Chandler told Schwartz. “There are other people involved that are waiting for my phone call that are in certain positions. I’ve paid them to do it. Everything’s going according to a certain plan that isn’t just mine. Once I make that phone call, this guy [his attorney, Barry K. Rothman, presumably] is going to destroy everybody in sight in any devious, nasty, cruel way that he can do it. And I’ve given him full authority to do that.”
Chandler then predicted what would, in fact, transpire six weeks later: “And if I go through with this, I win big-time. There’s no way I lose. I’ve checked that inside out. I will get everything I want, and they will be destroyed forever. June will lose [custody of the son]…and Michael’s career will be over.”
“Does that help [the boy]?” Schwartz asked.
“That’s irrelevant to me,” Chandler replied. “It’s going to be bigger than all of us put together. The whole thing is going to crash down on everybody and destroy everybody in sight. It will be a massacre if I don’t get what I want.”
Instead of going to the police, seemingly the most appropriate action in a situation involving suspected child molestation, Chandler had turned to a lawyer. And not just any lawyer. He’d turned to Barry Rothman.
“This attorney I found, I picked the nastiest son of a bitch I could find,” Chandler said in the recorded conversation with Schwartz. “All he wants to do is get this out in the public as fast as he can, as big as he can, and humiliate as many people as he can. He’s nasty, he’s mean, he’s very smart, and he’s hungry for the publicity.” (Through his attorney, Wylie Aitken, Rothman declined to be interviewed for this article. Aitken agreed to answer general questions limited to the Jackson case, and then only about aspects that did not involve Chandler or the boy.)
To know Rothman, says a former colleague who worked with him during the Jackson case, and who kept a diary of what Rothman and Chandler said and did in Rothman’s office, is to believe that Barry could have “devised this whole plan, period. This [making allegations against Michael Jackson] is within the boundary of his character, to do something like this.” Information supplied by Rothman’s former clients, associates and employees reveals a pattern of manipulation and deceit.
Rothman has a general-law practice in Century City. At one time, he negotiated music and concert deals for Little Richard, the Rolling Stones, the Who, ELO and Ozzy Osbourne. Gold and platinum records commemorating those days still hang on the walls of his office. With his grayish-white beard and perpetual tan — which he maintains in a tanning bed at his house — Rothman reminds a former client of “a leprechaun.” To a former employee, Rothman is “a demon” with “a terrible temper.” His most cherished possession, acquaintances say, is his 1977 Rolls-Royce Corniche, which carries the license plate ” BKR 1.”
Over the years, Rothman has made so many enemies that his ex-wife once expressed, to her attorney, surprise that someone “hadn’t done him in.” He has a reputation for stiffing people. “He appears to be a professional deadbeat… He pays almost no one,” investigator Ed Marcus concluded (in a report filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, as part of a lawsuit against Rothman), after reviewing the attorney’s credit profile, which listed more than thirty creditors and judgment holders who were chasing him. In addition, more than twenty civil lawsuits involving Rothman have been filed in Superior Court, several complaints have been made to the Labor Commission and disciplinary actions for three incidents have been taken against him by the state bar of California. In 1992, he was suspended for a year, though that suspension was stayed and he was instead placed on probation for the term.
In 1987, Rothman was $16,800 behind in alimony and child-support payments. Through her attorney, his ex-wife, Joanne Ward, threatened to attach Rothman’s assets, but he agreed to make good on the debt. A year later, after Rothman still hadn’t made the payments, Ward’s attorney tried to put a lien on Rothman’s expensive Sherman Oaks home. To their surprise, Rothman said he no longer owned the house; three years earlier, he’d deeded the property to Tinoa Operations, Inc., a Panamanian shell corporation. According to Ward’s lawyer, Rothman claimed that he’d had $200,000 of Tinoa’s money, in cash, at his house one night when he was robbed at gunpoint. The only way he could make good on the loss was to deed his home to Tinoa, he told them. Ward and her attorney suspected the whole scenario was a ruse, but they could never prove it. It was only after sheriff’s deputies had towed away Rothman’s Rolls Royce that he began paying what he owed.
Documents filed with Los Angeles Superior Court seem to confirm the suspicions of Ward and her attorney. These show that Rothman created an elaborate network of foreign bank accounts and shell companies, seemingly to conceal some of his assets — in particular, his home and much of the $531,000 proceeds from its eventual sale, in 1989. The companies, including Tinoa, can be traced to Rothman. He bought a Panamanian shelf company (an existing but nonoperating firm) and arranged matters so that though his name would not appear on the list of its officers, he would have unconditional power of attorney, in effect leaving him in control of moving money in and out.
Meanwhile, Rothman’s employees didn’t fare much better than his ex-wife. Former employees say they sometimes had to beg for their paychecks. And sometimes the checks that they did get would bounce. He couldn’t keep legal secretaries. “He’d demean and humiliate them,” says one. Temporary workers fared the worst. “He would work them for two weeks,” adds the legal secretary, “then run them off by yelling at them and saying they were stupid. Then he’d tell the agency he was dissatisfied with the temp and wouldn’t pay.” Some agencies finally got wise and made Rothman pay cash up front before they’d do business with him.
The state bar’s 1992 disciplining of Rothman grew out of a conflict-of-interest matter. A year earlier, Rothman had been kicked off a case by a client, Muriel Metcalf, whom he’d been representing in child-support and custody proceedings; Metcalf later accused him of padding her bill. Four months after Metcalf fired him, Rothman, without notifying her, began representing the company of her estranged companion, Bob Brutzman.
The case is revealing for another reason: It shows that Rothman had some experience dealing with child-molestation allegations before the Jackson scandal. Metcalf, while Rothman was still representing her, had accused Brutzman of molesting their child (which Brutzman denied). Rothman’s knowledge of Metcalf’s charges didn’t prevent him from going to work for Brutzman’s company — a move for which he was disciplined.
By 1992, Rothman was running from numerous creditors. Folb Management, a corporate real-estate agency, was one. Rothman owed the company $53,000 in back rent and interest for an office on Sunset Boulevard. Folb sued. Rothman then countersued, claiming that the building’s security was so inadequate that burglars were able to steal more than $6,900 worth of equipment from his office one night. In the course of the proceedings, Folb’s lawyer told the court, “Mr. Rothman is not the kind of person whose word can be taken at face value.”
In November 1992, Rothman had his law firm file for bankruptcy, listing thirteen creditors — including Folb Management — with debts totaling $880,000 and no acknowledged assets. After reviewing the bankruptcy papers, an ex-client whom Rothman was suing for $400,000 in legal fees noticed that Rothman had failed to list a $133,000 asset. The former client threatened to expose Rothman for “defrauding his creditors” — a felony — if he didn’t drop the lawsuit. Cornered, Rothman had the suit dismissed in a matter of hours.
Six months before filing for bankruptcy, Rothman had transferred title on his Rolls-Royce to Majo, a fictitious company he controlled. Three years earlier, Rothman had claimed a different corporate owner for the car — Longridge Estates, a subsidiary of Tinoa Operations, the company that held the deed to his home. On corporation papers filed by Rothman, the addresses listed for Longridge and Tinoa were the same, 1554 Cahuenga Boulevard — which, as it turns out, is that of a Chinese restaurant in Hollywood.
The Untold Story Continued…
It was with this man, in June 1993, that Evan Chandler began carrying out the “certain plan” to which he referred in his taped conversation with Dave Schwartz. At a graduation that month, Chandler confronted his ex-wife with his suspicions. “She thought the whole thing was baloney,” says her ex-attorney, Michael Freeman. She told Chandler that she planned to take their son out of school in the fall so they could accompany Jackson on his “Dangerous” world tour. Chandler became irate and, say several sources, threatened to go public with the evidence he claimed he had on Jackson. “What parent in his right mind would want to drag his child into the public spotlight?” asks Freeman. “If something like this actually occurred, you’d want to protect your child.”
Jackson asked his then-lawyer, Bert Fields, to intervene. One of the most prominent attorneys in the entertainment industry, Fields has been representing Jackson since 1990 and had negotiated for him, with Sony, the biggest music deal ever — with possible earnings of $700 million. Fields brought in investigator Anthony Pellicano to help sort things out. Pellicano does things Sicilian-style, being fiercely loyal to those he likes but a ruthless hardball player when it comes to his enemies.
On July 9, 1993, Dave Schwartz and June Chandler Schwartz played the taped conversation for Pellicano. “After listening to the tape for ten minutes, I knew it was about extortion,” says Pellicano. That same day, he drove to Jackson’s Century City condominium, where Chandler’s son and the boy’s half-sister were visiting. Without Jackson there, Pellicano “made eye contact” with the boy and asked him, he says, “very pointed questions”: “Has Michael ever touched you? Have you ever seen him naked in bed?” The answer to all the questions was no. The boy repeatedly denied that anything bad had happened. On July 11, after Jackson had declined to meet with Chandler, the boy’s father and Rothman went ahead with another part of the plan — they needed to get custody of the boy. Chandler asked his ex-wife to let the youth stay with him for a “one-week visitation period.” As Bert Fields later said in an affidavit to the court, June Chandler Schwartz allowed the boy to go based on Rothman’s assurance to Fields that her son would come back to her after the specified time, never guessing that Rothman’s word would be worthless and that Chandler would not return their son.
Wylie Aitken, Rothman’s attorney, claims that “at the time [Rothman] gave his word, it was his intention to have the boy returned.” However, once “he learned that the boy would be whisked out of the country [to go on tour with Jackson], I don’t think Mr. Rothman had any other choice.” But the chronology clearly indicates that Chandler had learned in June, at the graduation, that the boy’s mother planned to take her son on the tour. The taped telephone conversation made in early July, before Chandler took custody of his son, also seems to verify that Chandler and Rothman had no intention of abiding by the visitation agreement. “They [the boy and his mother] don’t know it yet,” Chandler told Schwartz, “but they aren’t going anywhere.”
On July 12, one day after Chandler took control of his son, he had his ex-wife sign a document prepared by Rothman that prevented her from taking the youth out of Los Angeles County. This meant the boy would be unable to accompany Jackson on the tour. His mother told the court she signed the document under duress. Chandler, she said in an affidavit, had threatened that “I would not have [the boy] returned to me.” A bitter custody battle ensued, making even murkier any charges Chandler made about wrong-doing on Jackson’s part. (As of this August [1994], the boy was still living with Chandler.) It was during the first few weeks after Chandler took control of his son — who was now isolated from his friends, mother and stepfather — that the boy’s allegations began to take shape.
At the same time, Rothman, seeking an expert’s opinion to help establish the allegations against Jackson, called Dr. Mathis Abrams, a Beverly Hills psychiatrist. Over the telephone, Rothman presented Abrams with a hypothetical situation. In reply and without having met either Chandler or his son, Abrams on July 15 sent Rothman a two-page letter in which he stated that “reasonable suspicion would exist that sexual abuse may have occurred.” Importantly, he also stated that if this were a real and not a hypothetical case, he would be required by law to report the matter to the Los Angeles County Department of Children’s Services (DCS).
According to a July 27 entry in the diary kept by Rothman’s former colleague, it’s clear that Rothman was guiding Chandler in the plan. “Rothman wrote letter to Chandler advising him how to report child abuse without liability to parent,” the entry reads.
At this point, there still had been made no demands or formal accusations, only veiled assertions that had become intertwined with a fierce custody battle. On August 4, 1993, however, things became very clear. Chandler and his son met with Jackson and Pellicano in a suite at the Westwood Marquis Hotel. On seeing Jackson, says Pellicano, Chandler gave the singer an affectionate hug (a gesture, some say, that would seem to belie the dentist’s suspicions that Jackson had molested his son), then reached into his pocket, pulled out Abrams’s letter and began reading passages from it. When Chandler got to the parts about child molestation, the boy, says Pellicano, put his head down and then looked up at Jackson with a surprised _expression, as if to say “I didn’t say that.” As the meeting broke up, Chandler pointed his finger at Jackson, says Pellicano, and warned “I’m going to ruin you.”
At a meeting with Pellicano in Rothman’s office later that evening, Chandler and Rothman made their demand - $20 million.
On August 13, there was another meeting in Rothman’s office. Pellicano came back with a counteroffer — a $350,000 screenwriting deal. Pellicano says he made the offer as a way to resolve the custody dispute and give Chandler an opportunity to spend more time with his son by working on a screenplay together. Chandler rejected the offer. Rothman made a counterdemand — a deal for three screenplays or nothing — which was spurned. In the diary of Rothman’s ex-colleague, an August 24 entry reveals Chandler’s disappointment: “I almost had a $20 million deal,” he was overhear telling Rothman.
Before Chandler took control of his son, the only one making allegations against Jackson was Chandler himself — the boy had never accused the singer of any wrongdoing. That changed one day in Chandler’s Beverly Hills dental office.
In the presence of Chandler and Mark Torbiner, a dental anesthesiologist, the boy was administered the controversial drug sodium Amytal — which some mistakenly believe is a truth serum. And it was after this session that the boy first made his charges against Jackson. A newsman at KCBS-TV, in L.A., reported on May 3 of this year that Chandler had us
