#MJFAM, I’ve spent the weekend reflecting on my #Invincible25 article and decided to take it down.
It left many people wondering whether my view of Michael Jackson had changed. I still believe he’s innocent of the allegations based on my understanding of the publicly available evidence.
My intention was to explore how my relationship with Invincible has changed since I first heard it at 11 years old. It’s not an album I revisit often, and I wanted to be honest about that experience while acknowledging how the allegations have affected the way people hear his music.
Looking back, I realize that parts of the article weren’t as clear as they could’ve been. I’ll learn from this experience by seeking feedback from people I trust before publishing pieces that tackle sensitive subjects. And I’ll continue writing honestly, even when the subject is difficult.
Thanks and God bless!

Someone said Michael Jackson is better than Taylor Swift, so I showed them this to prove them wrong

That’s funny… Chris Rock spent years making jokes about the false allegations levelled against Michael Jackson.
It wasn’t so funny when Chris Rock was, then, accused of sexual assault and then his alleged phone call with one Anthony Pellicano got leaked to the internet…
Chris Rock says he had the money to pay for a lawyer for his friend's wrongly convicted brother and he didn't
"white people believe every accusation is a conviction. A guy named Roger Logan who I grew up with who he was one of my best friends brothers went to jail for 19 years for a murder he didn't commit"
"His brother used to plead with me to pay for a lawyer for Roger and I never did it...I always had like a no lawyer thing because a lawyer is like an open-ended thing. Like I'll pay your mortgage. I'll put whatever"
"I always stay out of lawyers because it's so open-ended and it still messes with me. I had the means to help him and I didn't. I don't know if we could have got him out or not"
"so all that to say is I'm black. Black men get accused of things they didn't do all the time"

So now he acknowledges "every accusation is a conviction" after doing the exact same thing to Michael. hypocrite. That slap was completely deserved.
Chris Rock opens up about one of his CLOSEST FRIENDS spending 19 YEARS in prison for a crime he DIDN’T COMMIT, admitting he had the money to help him get a lawyer but chose NOT TO 😳
He says the case showed him how quickly Black men can be ACCUSED of anything and treated as GUILTY from the start.
“I had the means to help him and I didn’t. And I don’t know if we could have got him out or not, but still.”

Onlookers said the crowd went so wild that the walls shook and the floor buckled as if an earthquake were striking. Yet the media ran headlines calling it a flop and claiming Jackson was booed; the story was spread worldwide that Michael’s performance had been a disaster. Outright lies. What the legacy media did to Michael is unforgivable.

This bitch made me believe Michael Jackson was a pedo.

Am I the only person who wants celebrities to stick to their field rather get on a political soap box? I don't need to be told what view to hold by a millionaire who thinks I'm too dumb to think for myself

The Michael Jackson Rebuttal has reached 1 million people!
More importantly, 1 million cannot deny he was an innocent man, and the attacks on he and his family were and are repulsive Frankenstein villager tactics. Not a popular view when this dropped in 2016.
Rest in Peace.

To all the actors, musicians and other celebrities:
We don’t give a fuck about your political views or ideologies.
When I watch a movie, I’m trying to escape reality, not to be lectured by an actor who believes fame and money makes them morally superior.
When I pay to attend a concert, I’m there for the music. If you stop the show to scream political slogans and demand that the audience repeat them, fuck right off. You’ve lost me as a fan.
Celebrities seriously need to check their egos. You are not as important, influential or universally adored as you think you are.
We love the characters you play and the music you create. That doesn’t mean we worship the person behind them.
Entertain us. Spare us the sermon.
Sorry. Not sorry.

Before kicking off the second leg of his massive Bad World Tour, Michael and his whole crew spent almost a month rehearsing in the Pensacola Civic Center, Florida.
(Januari 22 - February 18 1988).
On the final day of rehearsals, Michael invited 420 local school children to watch full dress rehearsal as a thank-you for creating a rap video in his honor.

Since this old article is circulating again, it’s worth remembering that Martin Bashir always had quite a history of questionable journalism.
I honestly feel sorry for anyone whose “knowledge” of Michael comes from Bashir’s Living with Michael Jackson — or Netflix’s The Verdict, which goes right back to Bashir and his footage.
A murdered 9-year-old girl’s mother trusted him with her daughter’s clothes for forensic testing. They were never returned, and no one could explain what happened to them.
Years later, he used fake documents and deception to secure his interview with Princess Diana.
And then Michael trusted him too. We all know how that turned out 😤
I think part of our job as fans is to keep bringing this history to light — to show people who Bashir and others like him really were, and make sure guilters and skeptics know exactly who they’re getting their “information” from.

guys if this isn’t the quote of the century then i don’t know what 😂😂😂😂
Joan Rivers presenting the Grammys, 1984:
“The reason we’re reading the rules is so that all the losers will know why they lost to Michael Jackson.” 😂

How Come Nobody Ever Apologizes to Michael Jackson Part 1: The Makings of a King and the Beginning of the Corruption Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I have read books on michael jackson such as Michael Jackson conspiracy by Aphrodite Jones and biographies , but this is nothing I’ve seen before as a book.
@RuckerJael book is a step in the right direction.
What sets her apart , just like in her medium series, is that not only did she analyze, she breaks down every layer of everything that gets sensationalized and manipulated by the media—like his childhood, lupus, vitiligo, surgeries, Neverland, the allegations, and more that have been discussed endlessly in the media. This is what outstanding journalism looks like.
Her research resources in this book are incredible to have in one place, from books, court documents, articles, documentaries, and websites to social media posts from the community investigating the allegations.
It’s very well put together and well-balanced. You will feel a sense of anger over the injustices he faced and how unfairly he was treated. Reading it all in one place is really a journey (especially about the timeline of 93 and its receipts )
You will feel a lot of emotions including disgust and sadness, but also get emotional, especially as the book goes into the tragic circumstances surrounding him and some of his friends which been misrepresented in the media and detractors . An example is the Ryan White chapter about a boy he befriended who had AIDS and sadly passed away, where I had to collect myself as I was close to tears reading more of the full story, especially day ryan died its an example of how Michael had a big heart and wanted someone to feel good and not feel alone.
Amongst the reporting and providing context on the injustices, her commentary also has humor like zingers and sarcasm as a way to demonstrate the absurdity of people’s lies and motives (such as with the Neverland 5 , Evan chandler ). It’s a really powerful book , and I recommend people judge it for themselves.
Think this body of work speaks for itself.
I think You will come away understanding Michael Jackson and how the media cares about profit, not truth, when it comes to him. And that’s only just Part 1. Can’t wait for Part 2 and 3!
Thank you jael
