Part Six - Twist and Turn

We’ve all heard facts and rumours throughout the years that Michael was abusing painkillers and that he was a drugaddict. Those rumours started to see the daylight again right after the minute we all heard Michael was gone. I believe the first one to say something about it right away while leaving the hospital was Brian Oxmann. But please don’t pin me down on who started the rumour machine first because a lot of things happend at once for everybody and emotions were all over the place for all of us.

As time goes by we are getting a pretty clear picture from wich people are really screaming addiction, wich people are implying addiction and the people who say Michael was healthy. It’s almost like a battlefield out there. It looks like a lot of people are trying to get the fans on their side by telling their stories, some of them even really sell Michael out again to the highest bidder one more time.

Some of the people trying to sell the addict story to the public are people who have worked for Michael a very long time and even call Michael “thier best friend”. Don’t get me wrong i don’t say those people are liars but i don’t believe or trust them. Some of these employees are saying things about Michael that make my toos curl and wanna pull out a hair or two. They go on talkin about his manhood, private life and one of them even went so far as putting a picture on facebook of Michaels final resting place. Let me say it straight away and flat out..that was way beyond disgusting..so i finally said it, sorry but it was already bothering me for a long time and i feel better now that’s finally of my chest.

If you take a good look at these employees facebook who are nothing more and nothing less in my eyes than just empoyees and in no way that they were Michael’s friends. I even doubt they would have gotten anywhere in life if they didn’t get to work for Michael the way they did. But i was saying if you take a look at these peoples facebook you can see some strange things going on there. It’s almost like they have a personal thing to settle with Michael, like they are angry at him. I don’t know what happend that pissed them off and again it’s just the way i feel looking at what they do and the things they write.

But you must all have noticed how they first went so against AEG and the TII docu…on how they were cut out of this docu and not invited to go see it with the rest of the crew. When it was finally time for us to see it in the cinema’s we could all see with our own eyes these people weren’t cut out. And then these very same people started screaming out loud that they didn’t get any credits. Well i’m sorry to say it but they got the credits they were intiteld to. I even mentiond it to one of them and when i did call one of them out this person got angry with me and thought he had the right to Judge about me without ever having talked with me. I will say this…people who tell lies and take a swing at people are only hurting themselves.

These same people keep on talking about how Michael would have never agreed to show the rehearsels to be seen for us. And some even convinced fans one way or another not to go to the cinema. I’ve seen a lot of fans changing their minds because of things these people said about TII and Michael. I think most of us realize that the TII docu is a rehearsel and nobody expected it to be perfect. But when it comes down at what Michael wanted we just don’t know that. I for one am happy they showed the rehearsels and that i got a chance to see Michael. After all the stories that went on I was really amazed by what i saw. ..and i didn’t want it to end.

Than the Opus came. And the bashing started to turn towards that. Those same people who said they were cut out of the TII docu and didn’t get credits for their work there started to say how they should have been credited for their life work in the Michael Jackson Opus. Let’s get real here a minute..this book is about Michael not about the employees. If they want to be credited for being a make up artist or designer than go write a book about make up or clothing design…but please shut up telling people Michael is your life work..he was your meal ticket and that’s all.

Now to some of you this might sound like i’m bashing these people but that is not my intent. I just write down what i saw and how i look at what they wrote. It’s how they make me feel and that doesn’t mean everybody has to feel the same way. After all we are all different people who also look at things a different way. And that is for me one of the beautiful things about being human.

We’ve also seen, heard and read interviews of Michael’s family and others. And we all know how the entertainment industry works. They cut out things edit it the way they want it, they will just do about anything to make it all more juicy so a story will sell better. The entertainment industry is known to twist things to fit their own way and boy do they work hard on making it look like Michael was still an addict.

I’m not blaming the family for what the entertainment industry does. But i would think they would have learned after the Bashir docu that Michael did a very smart thing by letting his own camera’s role back than. Maybe i kind of hoped they would do the same or would only give live interviews so their words would get twisted, maybe i kind of expected them not to answer any questions about Michael’s past addictions. Cause to me what happend in the past was in the past and has nothing to do with Michael being killed on June 25th.
