    Oh yeah, totally normal for a bunch of different children to accuse him of sexual abuse. I’m glad people believed me when I told them what my uncle did. I’d be a whole lot more fucked up if people didn’t take me seriously…and guess what, I’m still pretty screwed up from it.

      I’ve seen an interview with someone who was offered money by those trashy British tabloids to concoct a story. They told the “journalist” that nothing improper had happened and the journalist told them that if they decided to change their story, there would be good money in it.

      My point is, there was a lot of money and other infrastructure making allegations very attractive to fabricate.

      Then there’s the actual FBI and parents who have been trying to concoct stories about him, while apparently they have protected actual pedophiles such as Epstein. Here’s one account of that (90 second clip): https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=O9hesItLnuk&ra=m

        So you didn’t find it weird that the young kid Michael showcased on stage slept in the same bed as Michael in the hotels, while his family was given a room at the other end of the hotel. It seems super inappropriate, but besides Michael I also blame the parents … because you don’t let your kids sleep in a hotel room with a grown man. Even if he was famous.
