The Inane Asylum

utter bullshit

Hmmm, why would Jermaine lie? Most of what is mentioned, america kind of figured out anyway or was curious about.

I'm sorry to have to hear this about Michael. I was hoping it was all jut propaganda by which to ruin him.

One thing that shook my belief in his innocence statements was the line told by the servants about the 'Jesus Juice'. A strangley coined phrase, don't you think.

Though I hoped his intentions were good, as a child I never slept with a grown up who wasn't a family member. My mother was choosey about that point. Certain ones were never to even pick up up from school or anywhere else without pre-confirmed permission from my mother.

I am getting so tired of people doing things to children. I wish some place could be made that only molesters live there. Something that could be passed of as a type of special community without the knowledge of the molesters. I should seem as ordinary as any neighborhood minus children.

This isn't the first time that greasy face Jermaine has stabbed his brother in the back. Remember "Word To The Bad"?

lol c'mon who in their right mind could possibly think that freak is not guilty, i mean, jesus just look at the guy. he's a massive perv that just got off because he was famous, OJ all over again

His fans are ridiculous! I was a true admirer of Michael at one time. No one can deny the fact that he had talent. But...............let's face it. He is an absolute freak.

Sadly, his devoted fans believe anything/everything he says. They accept it as the absolute truth. They believe he hasn't had plastic surgery. They believe he doesn't bleach his skin. They believe he is biologically related to the three kids he purchased. Most of all, they believe he in not a pedophile.

Not all homosexuals are pedophiles. Not all pedophiles are homosexuals. Michael Jackson IS a homosexual pedophile and he should be in prison not Europe ignoring his fans, family, employees and friends.

WELL I AM A RELATIVE AND FOR THIS TO BE PUT OUT THE WAY IT IS, I FEEL IS REALLY NOT RIGHT. YOU CANNOT BELEIVE EVRYTHING THAT YOU SEE ON THE INTERNET OR IN THE PUBLIC EYE, BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH MICHEAL I DON'T THINK ANY OF THIS IS TRUE. ALL I CAN SAY IS HE IS A MAN WHO MISSED HIS CHILDHOOD AND IF THERE WERE PROBLEMS LIKE THAT, HE WOULD NOT HAVE CHILDREN AROUND HIM. JERMAINES CHILDREN ARE ALWAYS AROUND AND, IF PEOPLE WERE NOT MONEY HUNGRY THAN ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS WOULD NOT EXIST. CAN THE MAN LIVE HIS LIFE WITHOUT THE PUBLIC EYE BEING ON HIM EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.........

Who cares......I am not going to purchase the book. Something is very wrong with Michael. However, something is very wrong with Jermaine sticking by his brother side and tell lies when it was convient for him. Jermaine are you crying wolf or .........

Jermaine is a jealous liar and a snake i cant believe he would badmouth his little brother to sell a book and make money and that worst part is that ppl want to believe the worst about someone they dont even know because they are famous made lots of money in addition to that ppl would believe him just because he is his brother even if Jermaine was telling the truth would this be really appropriate all Michaels tryin to do is salvage what he has left of a unfairly destroyed career Jermaine couldnt do shit without the Jackson 5 and he is jealous that he wasnt the lead singer or the world famous star that Michael is Michael made the hundreds of millions of dollars and millions of world wide fans but it seems your own family would stab you in the back to make a dollar

Now I AM a Michael Jackson fan, and may possibly ALWAYS be a fan, but my respect for his talent and his art does not blind me to the fact that he is a nutcase. But lets face facts...what entertainer is not a bit off? You're talking about an industry that makes gods out of ordinary people who have a talent. There a plenty of people who can sing, act, dance, produce or make music who are not famous. Being in the public eye changes people-those in it and those looking into it. We, the public, make statements regarding the famous when we know nothing about them other than what has been "presented" to us. These are not FACTS, they are merely pieces of an "image". Even the news only reports marginal truths.
If MJ is a child molester then maybe we should have sympathy for him. Think about it...everyone is always so worried about the victims - until they grow up. In many cases, abused children are themselves abusers as adults, indicating that it is a learned behavior(and possibly one that is uncontrollable)so why don't we feel sorry for them when the cycle of abuse comes full circle? According to many published reports (not to mention the word of some of the siblings)MJ, LaToya and Janet were all victims of sexual abuse at the hands of their father. Not one of them had what could be considered a "normal" childhood, yet we condem them for being different, unusual or "freaks". What does that say about us?
Lastly, regardless of the truthfulness or nontruthfullness of Jermaine's claims, the fact that he would publicly support his brother and deny all allegations, then turn around a write a book, says more about him than it does about Michael.
The truth is - we may NEVER know the truth. Let's move on and stop treating our celebrities as gods. They are merely people like everyone else, with inflated senses of self importance.

Ohmygod, did he just say "if he is a child molester we should feel sorry for him"? And "everyone is always so worried about the victims"? Molestation affects one well into adulthood, if your child were molested they will not be bringing home grandkids any time soon. There is a high likelyhood they would be boozed up or drugged up as adults and unable to have succesful relationships. ThAaNoNyMoUs if your child were molested you would not be talking such bull crap, you would be pissed off from the moment it happened, through bills for the psychiatrist, through wondering if your now adult child will ever be whole and free of alcohol and drugs and what you could have done to prevent it. You moron! Such a fool.

and about child molesters becoming molesters themselves - what's that? Is it an attempt to somehow justify molestation? Someone please give this a guy a gym sock to stick in his mouth.

ThAaNoNyMoUs seems to know a lot about pedophiles.......maybe, he knows TOO much. If not, he is just another sicko Jackson fan.

I was a huge MJ fan; and still play his music sometimes. But even I must admit, it is hard to deny what is right in front of you. One only needs to look at Michaels love life to realize something is wrong. Even during his glory days you never saw or heard about him being in a real heterosexual Relationship. Think about it; when have you ever seen Michael Jackson in a real relationship with a woman? And I'm not talking about damage control relationships, or Publicity stunts, NEVER! That is the answer, never; only after he was accused did he get married, only during some videos, only during awards shows, never did a photo leak out to the media of a picture with Michael an a woman at some getaway. Because there are none. Only photos of him with little boys. It is heartbreaking for me to say this because he was my hero for many years, he Inspired me to go into the music field. But it is still wrong for family to turn on family in this most public way. Michael Jackson would have been better off if he would have died in a plane crash during his 1984 Victory Tour; at least then his memory and legacy would have been saved, not to mention all the children that he may have hurt along the way, and I do say may; have because only god, Michael and the children really know what happened. But I tend to lean with the MJ haters this time, I Believe regretfully so that he most likely is a Pedophile. Please forgive any typo's I am not an English major.

most of the comments have merit, but my brothers and my sisters until you have walked in MJ or his families shoes, until you have endured the good and the bad of longevity, temptation and realities of being under a microscope your entire life, don't judge based upon events that you hear and see in the media or from such said family member, namely jermaine. mainly who would know better than him and also who would or could have more of a reason to be jealous than him,think about it. money in some peoples minds rule the world (sounds like sour grapes to me) but if MJ is guilty the ultimate will and shall judge, rest assured there is no getting away we shall all reap what we sow.that includes you and you to jermaine-- stop talking out of both sides of your mouth. for if you knew your brother was doing drugs and i.e. little boys, why didn't you do something to help him, instead you wrote a book , you jumped on the bandwagon of the judgement seat--i.e. the media. and looking at the tenets of islam, of which you have converted, isn't there something about loving your brother and not bearing false witness -- people check yourselves, and you too jermaine (micheal's back up singer)------the thinker-e ------

Personally, I'm into Michael Jackson the performer and not Michael Jackson's personal life. None of us really knows the real truth about what happened, we don't. We know what we have been fed by the Media and you have to discount 50% of it to sensationalism and the other 50%? Well, somewhere therein the truth lies. I readily admit that I have found it strange over the years that Michael has never had a relationship with a woman but, it's not my business . . . his music is! I also find suspect that Jermaine would stand by his brother during his battle in court but, when it was all over, he's running to different publishers trying to get a deal on "the real truth". The only reason this topic is still so "hot" is because too many opinionated morons who don't have a life, feed into this garbage. None of us really knows the truth and we never will so, concentrate on Michael the singer, and not his personal life. We all have our issues and for those people waiting around to be spoon fed more speculation about Michael, you've got MAD issues yourselves!

the previous statements made by (crusher) have outstanding merit, surrounded by controversal thought. crusher you made more sense than most. but I"ll tell you a little story that Iam sure you will be able to relate too.after all iam family of the jacksons, but even thou iam family related and bear a striking resembalance to jermaine, I have to state that which is right. now be advised that i love my family -the good and the bad , for every family has these certain but different issues. but still right is right and wrong is wrong. you can"t change right to wrong, but you can change wrong to right. and cousin jermaine, I hope that you will soon be enlightened to the true meaning of love and family,not just on a "what have you done for me lately"bases.first of all cousin you are wrong in what you attempted to do-- for blood is thicker than water.I love you but i hate what you wanted to do. with the wealth that the family truely yields, there is no need for greed. for it's not what the people, the media, the world thinks of us, but it's the integrity that was breed in us that really counts. for if the wealth left us jermaine, the only realness we would have left is our integrity, and thats what iam angry at you about jermaine, you attempted to sell yours.but being who I am, and having what i have inside, i must say I LOVE YOU - WE LOVE YOU, but never attempt to sell us short again.this is the time we should pull together as a family, look forward and not try to profit on the faults, or preconceived notions of others about our certain family member-- for like it or not he is family, and family sees the faults and covers them with love-- we don't try to hide truth or magnify the fault,but we love in spite of.for I love you, and i haven't attempted to sell your story-- now have I cous.

You guys are the 11703 best, thanks so much for the help.

Jermain is telling the truth. However, his mind is a little cloudy, I think it's because of all the "Lard" packed on his face, it has effected his brain.
To: Jermain, man really, what is that greasy shit on your face?.

Wow!!! This is shocking!!!!!

No one can ever know what someone else does behind close doors, or their true motivations for the way they live their life. But we can take an educated guess based on the accummulation of circumstantial evidence. The conclusion any sane person can make at this point is that: A) Michael Jackson has been and is a deeply troubled individual; B) the inevitable conflict that arises from being exposed one's formative years to an industry that is not known for morals or discretion and a strict religious upbringing - most often would lead even the most hearty individual to some type of mental and emotional break; C)constantly being exposed to exploitation, manipulation and greed only increases feelings of isolation, mistrust and can easily lead to identity confusion and; D) If there is to be anyone who has learned and mastered the art of manipulation and image control it would very likely be someone who was educated in these "arts" from an early age.

Does it excuse inappropriate behavior? No. Does it lessen the achievements and talent? No. Does it explain the surgies, the skin discoloration the good guy/bad guy behavior. In my opinion, yes.

I grew up a black family of Jehovah's Witness just as the Jackson's did. I also grew up in California within a well-to-do area. We were very dysfunctional (as the Jacksons seem to be). So, there was the teachings, the temptations and my own intellectual processing. Let me tell you, working through all of that (especially during early teens/adulthood) can be one confusing journey. And I was not in the public eye.

Whether Jermaine truly has anything significant to say at the late date is irrelevant. No one in the Jackson family was then or is capable now of helping each other, let alone Michael. This family has been dysfunctional from the start.

Is Michael a pedophile? From the circumstantial evidence MJ appears to fit the "checkbox" indicators that his is. His main companions over the past few decades have been pre-pubescent adolescent boys. His background indicates that his social communication skills are impaired and he fails to adjust incoming information to the surrounding circumstances (he admits to preferring fantasy over reality on video tape). He apparently has a strong preference for pornography as submitted in evidence at the trial. He admits to sleeping with children other than is own. The list goes on. And if you still have doubts perhaps reading the smokinggun.com website of the Jordy Chandler deposition will convince you otherwise.

Had Jermaine or anyone else in the Jackson family been less concerned about being cut-off from MJ millions then perhaps he might have gotten the help he needed years ago. Or perhaps not, as this family doesn't seem to be inclined to take anyone else's advice but their own. Maybe MJ would've had a chance to continue some serious therapy when he was hospitalized in England years ago. I understand there was pressure from the music execs and those around him for his early departure. Now I fear it's too late for MJ.

I can only imagine what his children are being taught. (or should I say his surrogate children, as I for one do not believe they carry his DNA).
