“Michael Jackson’s celebrity is so blinding, his music so compelling, that it cloaks him with an almost impenetrable shield from the truth: He was a stone cold pedophile.
Over 12 years from 1993 to 2005, I investigated and chronicled accusations of Jackson’s serial pedophilia, acute drug addiction and bizarre behaviors in five major articles for Vanity Fair.
I interviewed hundreds of people, both defenders and detractors, covered two trials, and combed through myriad legal documents in an effort to make the public aware of how Michael Jackson really conducted his life behind closed doors, behind the funhouse facade of Neverland.
I found credible evidence that he committed crimes against children—crimes I believe he got away with. He was never criminally convicted, he and his estate have paid $43.5 million in settlements to the families of children who accused him of abuse. And now, in a movie that is supposedly an examination of his life, it isn’t even a footnote.”
