Yup. As per your link.

"Radio stations pulled his songs from their playlists, and a statue of Jackson was removed from the National Football Museum in Manchester"

Do you know why AIG paid out? It was nothing to do with sex abuse claims and was to do with defamation claims. It has nothing to do do with this case and I have no idea why you brought this I up. Maybe I have misunderstood but if I have can you expalain the connection?

Why is it so that in the 1993 case no one stopped playing his music, in 2005 case even while on trial no one stopped playing his music, yet when a one sided documentary comes out based on nothing but stories with nothing to back it up people suddenly believe it and banish the greatest musician who ever lived to the deepest darkest abyss.

Child abusers do it for life, with Michael we're to believe it was just a short period of his life that he became an abuser of kids, and then reverted back to normality.
We're to believe that after the Bashir documentary came out, and Michael was headline news over his remarks about sleeping in same room as kids, that Michael at the point decided to abuse Gavin Arvizo.

So he abuses Gavin while all this heat is on him, and then in court calls Wade , and Safechunk to defend him. '' other victims?'' These actions would make Michael one of the dumbest people on the planet.
But we all know he was actually a very wise talented person.

In UK and Ireland yes. He still takes in millions from royalties in US. Even covers in shows like Glee (gwyneth Paltrow cover).

Because people have had enough. The context has dramatically changed, people will no longer play the music of a suspected / perceived child abuser just as they'll no longer watch the films of a suspected / perceived rapist. Because for decades we allowed the "artist" to be separated from the "person" and it's nonsense. Scaldy people don't deserve adulation because they can do something nice in a studio or behind a camera. They're scaldy and disgusting and people don't want to see or hear them in a fashion that ignores those realities anymore.

But the vast majority of radio stations aren't banning his music at all. Some have said that his music won't be on their play list temporarily, till things settle down. Most still play his music & a tiny fraction of stations and TV stations say his music is being banned.

So, djs want to make waves. Come out and say ‘I won’t play fairy tale of New York, cold outside or MJ’. It’s in the news. Their stock rises. People clap. They get sacked because they are sh1te and low and behold we head Billie Jean and Shane McGowan long after the has been.

Following is worth a watch. Exposes much of what was said in the Leaving Neverland docu as being fabricated nonsense.

Michael Jackson filed 3 times for the criminal case to go before the civil. The Chandler family wanted the civil case first. Judge sided with The Chandlers and put the civil case first before the criminal.

He settled the civil case, after he refused to hand over any money to them before hand. Evan Chandler demanded $1million to $10million dollars to keep it all quiet but, Jackson refused to pay him anything.
In the prosecution's own words, it was not buying anyone's silence or settling anything and the criminal case was to go ahead.

A year later, the case was thrown out as 2 grand juries could not find any evidence against Michael Jackson.

In the years afterwards a book was written, from a member of NAMBLA, who described in detail what went on between Michael Jackson and Jordan Chandler. Jordan Chandler released a statement to the cops, that was made public in 2003, stating all of that was false

In 1996, a handful of employees from Neverland sued Michael Jackson for unfair dismissal and said that they saw what he was doing to Jordan Chandler and Maculey Culkin.
They lost the suit, as they were robbing from Michael Jackson and they each were counter sued for $2 million dollars, which is still owed to this day. Adrian Macmanus being one of the employees. Jordan Chandler also released a statement to the cops, reach was made public in 2003, stating that what the employees said was false. Culkin has also come out numerous times and said nothing ever happened

Wade Robson and James Safechuck are now suing MJJ productions, for procuring them for Michael Jackson, after the judge threw their cases out against Michael Jackson, stating that "no one trier of facts could ever believe your story"
The case is expected to take place next year. However, the problem with that case is, Wade and James have both stated in their sworn depositions to the cops and in Leaving Neverland that their own Mothers chased after Michael Jackson, begging him to spend time with them. Not MJJ productions or Michael Jackson himself.
Wade's own mother even left his father to move to Australia to have a better chance of getting close to Michael Jackson so I have no idea how that is going to work out at all

The estate of Michael Jackson vs HBO is going to open arbitration but, HBO is trying to get a dismissal. From what I've read, the estate wants everything out in the open, as in who funded it, unedited footage, cuts that didn't make it etc but, HBO don't want it to go that far. Richard Plepler, HBO's CEO, left shortly after Leaving Neverland was aired. It was known he was massively against the production

Not speculation, just the facts. Make of it what you will.

I just typed all this up because I'm bored. I have various tabs open on different topics and I need a break from reading The Coronavirus thread.
