The stories that have been recycled since 1993 about Jackson have largely been driven by greed, but not only from unscrupulous parents, but from former employees and the media.
Watch below to see how many of the stories you’ve heard came to be.
PART 1 #MichaelJacksonVindicated
“...They’ve really have gone to town to do Michael Jackson down for the mighty dollar.”
The story of how a couple of former Neverland employees’ story of witnessing child abuse actually evolved and the real motive behind their story.

PART 2 #MichaelJacksonVindicated
“...My interest was strictly for the money.”
Watch how reporters and tabloid brokers explain how they arranged to pay upwards of SIX FIGURE sums to Neverland employees that were willing to produce lurid child abuse stories about Jackson.
PART 3 #MichaelJacksonVindicated
More behind the scenes footage of tabloid brokers negotiating for how much to pay former Neverland employees for child abuse tales.
Notice also how people’s desire to profit even bastardized the police’s investigation into Michael Jackson.
PART 4 #MichaelJacksonVindicated
“Could you see the headline coming?”
“Oh, yeah. Sure. I could see that money coming, too.”
Further revelations on how law enforcement’s probe into Michael Jackson was largely driven by them chasing around a bunch of money-driven tabloid sources.
PART 5 #MichaelJacksonVindicated
“[The tabloids] started to make the pace...and the police followed up on that.”

Note how former Neverland employees, so called witnesses to child abuse, were willing to make their story more graphic in exchange for more money from the media.
PART 6 #MichaelJacksonVindicated
The clips shown were taken from 1994 PBS Documentary called “Tabloid Truth: The Michael Jackson Scandal” which gives insight into how the media frenzy surrounding Jackson was driven by parties’ desires to profit off of his name.
