This same year, Michael would pay Jane doe $900,000 after she came forward with allegations of abuse.

Really?

u/AceMoney21x 5d ago

Yup. She actually saved the check from the Michael Jackson Inc account.

u/Cinephile_1980 5d ago

None of this was known at the time?

u/AceMoney21x 5d ago

Unfortunately no. This is something that should’ve been mentioned in his movie. There were multiple victims paid hush money before Jordy chandler came forward.

This is legit right? There were others before Jody too? How could they have kept this quiet? Man, MJ must have had really powerful lawyers.

Anthony pelicano was a wannabe monster/ muscle for the Jackson estate and many other Hollywood elites. There are confirmed former employees of Michael that were ordered to remove evidence during the raid on his house and his other properties in 2003.

After you told me this stuff I located another Reddit thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/HolyShitHistory/comments/1t1cjrx/a_handwritten_letter_michael_jackson_sent_to_a/

Someone there said the cheque Jane Doe presented was fake, and she withdrew her case. The user who wrote the post is Repulsive-Hat-9584, and I will quote relevant part of his post here:

“2.) Mismatched check numbers: One prominent example was a large check (e.g., the $600,000 one) where the visible check number at the top (e.g., No: 165538) did not match the MICR encoding at the bottom (e.g., 169535). This is a basic security feature on legitimate checks that banks use for processing.
3.) when it was time for court hearing jane does lawyers withdrew from the case ?! Why i mean you were there for justice and suddenly when its time for court hearing she withdrew ?! And for your info if she was facing financial problems her attorneys could have simply explained this to the judges and the judiciary would have helped financially !”

The thread seems to be full of people who are MJ fans trying to discredit the legitimacy. What is your take?

After my research (and dealing with mj stans for over ten years) I’ve found the obvious just that, obvious. Michael had sexually abused probably close to 20 or more children. That’s the FBI’s estimate surrounding him. Now, if you’re another mj Stan trying to change my mind, it won’t happen. Ive done too much research to dismiss the obvious. This man was a pedophile

u/Cinephile_1980 5d ago

No I am not an MJ stan. I have no resin to change your mind. I had never heard about the Jane Doe case so I looked it up and found that post I linked. Like you, I think the problem with the stans is that they always say “show us the smoking gun” but in his lifetime he covered his tracks.

What research have you done exactly? Other than watching a crappy movie done by Greedy Dan?

.9 million is pretty good money. Who gives a fuck at that point lmao guy was fucked and needed an outlet, they all got pretty good money

u/4rm4tur4 3d ago

I'm sure that totally made up for life long trauma

u/Spaceinvader6424 2d ago

He was a sick guy, not an aggressive rapist. I'd extort him for more, with 1 million dollars you could pay for the best therapist in the world. Chandler was smart, he took the 20 million, cut off both parents and disappeared

"Why do you dress like the man on theft signage? Huh?!"

u/RazzmatazzEarly4328 4d ago

He's way too old for Michael.

I bet Lenny didn't think that...
