Opinion | Michael Arceneaux: 'I never wanted the allegations to ruin my memories. But I cannot reconcile what I know and my love of his music any more.' - NBCNewsTHINK

allegations that he sexually abused a different young boy. Around the same time, my elementary school principal made the local news over allegations that he, too, had sexually abused a young boy.puzzled by Jackson’s interview with Martin Bashir

I was in attendance for Michael Jackson’s memorial service for work, but I mostly felt relief for both of us. I was saddened by his sudden death, and thought about, and even though I never quite understood him, I still sympathized with him. And yes, I thought those allegations about him would die with him — leaving me to again cling to a vision of Michael Jackson that suited my self-interests.

Listening to Wade Robson and James Safechuck describe their sexual abuse in graphic detail made me physically recoil. Listening to those voicemails Jackson left them and reading those faxes that he sent was disturbing, and the intent behind them obvious to anyone.

THINK A mockumentry is what it was

THINK I remember a trial and a verdict. He died 10 yrs ago (June 2009). Enough!!!!!!

THINK I’m about to play MJ all week just for this nonsense .. I wanna rock with you 🎶🎶

THINK Oh please... he’s dead and was acquitted go round up the perverted priests and the ones that cover for them

THINK We all know Wade Robson is trash soooo... 🤷🏽‍♂️

THINK When he was alive, Michael Jackson was tried in court - by a jury of his peers - for child molestation; and found not guilty. I believe Wade Robson when he testified under oath - as an adult in 2005 - that he had never been molested. I will still enjoy Michael Jackson's music.

THINK el ayuwoki

THINK We gonna have a series on these? Let’s do Woody Allen or Elvis Presley next!

THINK A complete pervert.

THINK Why did parents leave their children with a stranger regardless he was famous. I dont like sleepovers for kids.

THINK Give me a break! RIP!

THINK His fans loved his music, its the abuse boys parents that need a reckoning.

THINK Really? everyone knew what he was, this isn’t a shock at all

THINK Shit is disgusting.

THINK I always believed the kids. I change the radio if his music comes on. I’m revolted by him.

THINK Ban all his music, even the stuff from the Jackson-Five. Burn his videos, and relegate this perv to the dust bin of forever forgotten.

THINK You guys sure did defend his honor when he died though...

THINK No just a slanderous vehicle.

THINK I loved the jackson 5 as a kid but i dont listen to any of it. He was a.pig.

THINK Is it? Its not like any of the information was new information. Martin Bashir made him look more questionable than HBO did

THINK Let the king of pop, rest in peace...

THINK I believe them 100%

THINK Beyond disturbing

THINK the amount of people defending this dirty paedophile is unbelievable. a heart attack was too good for him
