One of the biggest snakes to ever cross Michael’s path. She's gone out of her way to try and destroy that man’s legacy and slander his name whenever she’s granted the chance to do so. Does all of this, I might add, when Michael is no longer here to defend himself. What's funny is that half the people she hangs with and defends are suspected creeps themselves.
Michael Jackson is a clever person. He knew Oprah only wanted one thing but he did so for that interview. But when you make someone feel comfortable with you outside of business that’s friendship & not getting what you just want anymore cos of business. Oprah acted like MJs friend before it didn’t suit her image
I LOST ALL REGARDS FOR OPRAH, AFTER THE WAY SHE DID MJ. I KNOW SHE'S AN INDUSTRY PUPPET AS WELL. DON'T FORGET, SHE INTERVIEWED RIHANNA BUT NOT CHRIS BROWN (WHO IS BEING BLACK LISTED LIKE MJ). ALSO INTERVIED THE TRASHY KARDASHIANS. MJ WAS ONCE AN INDUSTRY MEGASTAR BUT PROVED TO ME WHEN SPEAKING OUT AGAINST SONY, HE WAS REAL. ALSO PRINCE, AGAINST WARNER. LOOK AT VANILLA ICE INTERVIEW ON VLAD ( I KNOW HE'S SHADY) WHERE HE MENTIONS MJ IN THAT REGARD. IN FACT, EVERY MAJOR OR MINOR SHOW ( TV/RADIO/SATELLITE/INTERNET) SUCH AS DRINK CHAMPS, SWAY, VLAD, MOST MUSICIANS, GIVE KUDOS TO MJ AND PRINCE, DESPITE THE BACKLASH AND PROPAGANDA. RIP MICHAEL JACKSON THE KING OF POP 👑🌜🚶🏽♂️🚶🏽♂️🚶🏽♂️🌜

Got under Michael's skin, bastard.
Ona i bashir 🐀🐀zniszczyli jego dziedzictwo o dobre imię
I despise her…
Made a whole special about Michael but not a word about her buddy Harvey Weinstein. The hypocrisy
‼️‼️‼️‼️
Indeed!
Loved when Kel Mitchell did a spoof of Oprah called "Okrah" on the show "All that " 😂😂😂
Exactly!! Nor Bill Cosby!
We know that she's evil elite Michael Jackson everyone loves his best of the best in the world his one and only one ❤❤❤ oops she's 🤑🎃❄️🍕gate
He trusted everyone easily but everyone wanted a piece of him
he didn't. He figured like most that he could trust Opera, especially since she's black
About his features the photos at 11:19 you can clearly see he didn't have much done he looks like a mix of his off the wall and thriller era look
@@thepubknight6144yes I wish he stopped doing plastic surgery on his face at this point
He didnt have a choice i think i think the onyl surgery he dine which his surgeon saud was his nose and his skin is bcs of vitlit u can see everything on his autopsy search it up@@GreeshmaPradeep-cy2mc
@@user-pq2nv7lt8n So? I think it’s dumb to trust someone simply because they are the same race as you. Michael was not stupid. She probably gave off a trusting, friendly vibe and MJ, mistakenly, decided that it might be ok to do the interview. Of course, he subsequently found out that she was a snake in the grass, only interested in furthering her own career.
So Oprah did not want to get involved in supporting MJ but jumped at the chance to condemn him. If you want to remain neutral...remain neutral...Dont jump on the band wagon whenever it suits you Oprah
And defended friend, Harvey Weinstein who's been proven a pervert and doing time now!!! Plus was in scandal herself about that African school for girls, alleged abuse. That's says it all about Oprah!! True Abusers are getting exposed now! Michael Jackson is being vindicated!!!
RIP Michael!!🙏🏾🌻🌻
She never actually went against him. She just did her job and interviewed them about their allegations.
@@jonathanperry6302 She used her job as a platform to reflect her bias that he was guilty. It's pretty obvious
which he obviously was @@NMRM622
Don’t like that woman ever never will now❤🇬🇧
Oprah was so fake. Poor Michael 🥺🥺
She’s scary
She's Cobrah
And the guy who said that he didn’t have plastic surgeries and it was “natural” to change his face and his skin color wasn’t fake?
@@thefonzkiss skin color change was due to vitiligo even if he bleached it was to make skin tone equal colored .he agreed on nose job .just not on eyes or lips
Correction , she ‘IS’ soooooooooo fake. The evil is real
Oprah was an opportunist. She saw a way to get her ratings up with MJ'S interview yet stayed silent when he needed someone in his corner. You can see the cycle throughout the years. Even after his death, she was trying to use him to boost herself up. It's sick, and I'm glad MJ kept her at arms length. Great video from the detail. Long live the king of pop, and have a Merry Christmas. 🎄🎉
She couldn’t be in n his corner she didn’t know him well enough. She did the right thing in that regard.
@@jonathanperry6302
She put people on her show who had already testified in court that he was innocent.
She failed to disclose that these allegations came after the one guy lost a contract to choreograph a MJ tribute with the family.
So basically, she showcased people, who if they are telling the truth now, they worked to exonerate a child sex abuser--committing perjury in a court of law...
Just like she was all buddy buddy with Martha Stewart and then dumped her like a hot potato when she was charged with insider trading.
The heads you step on during your way up are attached to the azzez you'll be kissing on your way back down.
In a word, eff Oprah
Yup, even interviewing his children after his death as if she was some sort of family friend only to turn around and do After Neverland.
So, while he was alive and valuable to her, he was this wonderful, innocent, loveable childlike guy.
Then, when he's dead and cannot defend himself, the ratings were better to trash him and give a platform to absolute garbage
@@walfgonghilbag7813 The heads you step on during your way up are attached to the azzez you'll be kissing on your way back down love that statement !! 😊😊
I wish Oprah would lose her fame 100%. Like everyone just drop her like a bad habit. Understood her money is made but she could live her life out alone. Completely alone.
Both Oprah and Martin Brashear gonna burn for what they did to MJ smh. He DESERVED good people around him smh.
👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏💖
@@thecat8513 You're just another alienated person who likes to frame Michael, lol
That's not what it says in the official FBI documents, which investigated him for 10 years and by 20 different cores, and much less in the Jeffrey Epstein's case, where Oprah, Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein were involved in those horrible cases of child abuse.
The truth is that you like to defend the real criminals!
@@thecat8513no he didn’t
I call him Martin Batshit lol
@@thecat8513
The “kids” said that he didn’t.🤷🏽
Poor Michael Jackson, he doesn‘t deserve to be treated like that ,Michael is a good person 😢❤️🙂
Yes
Jura on pediam
I agree.! He was.!
💔💔😭😭 Gone too soon
Micheal was an angel who was devoured by a world filled demons so God took him back home
Nobody will be more famous than Micheal Jackson
The fact that she weaseled her way into the family home and got to physically touch his daughter after his death is just despicable and repulsive. I hope the children learned a big lesson there.
How didn't the family see what we saw in Oprah Winfrey? Why would they open the gates after talking bad?
@@Raouf263a hug
Similar to the way MJ did with Jordan Chandler’s parents. 😂
@@JoeRivermanSongwriter Oh, let's not talk about those who also stabbed Michael after he showered them with his grace and generosity. They were not satisfied with that and tried to suck his blood.
@@Raouf263
It’s weird how it’s always the other people that are liars and yet Michael has been proven to have lied multiple times on camera.
I remember being 15 years old watching the 2005 Oprah show with my mom covering Michael Jackson trial. That’s when I thought, “didn’t he invite you to his home in 1993 and she turns on him?” Michael’s mother invited her until their home twice after his death, and then she did Leaving Neverland…
Why is Katherine so naive?
@@wills2408 *Maybe because she was/is Michael´s mother ... Í sometimes think ... maybe michael was a non practising pedophile...or A-SEXUAL (even) maybe < Ricky*
Nothing can change the fact that MJ is the greatest entertainer of all time. ❤❤🎉
Opinion only. Every one has their favorite.
❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
@@Jimihendrix1834 it is not my opinion. It is fact
This evil witch here.... he put her on the map like crazy & she really did him dirty... beyond dirty!
But she can't escape her karma no matter how much money she has.
But remains silent about her friendships with Epstein and Weinstein. Not a mumbling word about what they were doing. 🤬
This witch will go down to the hole one day…..
She’s a big witch! I’m sure she flies on a broom at night. To destroy his legacy once’s he’s passed after his interview helped your career. She’s despicable
Now if only Oprah would sit down do a candid interview about her friendship with Harvey Weinstein.😊
She's pure evil. Michael can never rest in peace.
Oh yes ,he’s at peace now ….
I have had zero respect for her since I saw her interview with Michael and I was little at the time
People have always tried to lower him. I hade a visit from my niece during Christmas, She is 8 years old, she absolutely adores MJ. That says a lot about his legacy❤️
I remember it as if it was yesterday -the way she humiliated him live. She is a horrible woman.
I never liked Oprah, and I never will. I was a child when she had her talk show and there was something about her that I didn't trust even as a child...didn't like her.
I didn’t watch the Michael Jackson interview with Oprah until after he passed, I always thought she judged him and used him to get ahead in her career.
Michael, was such a sweet person. So so very talented. King of Pop. There is no one that can ever be as talented simging and dancing as him. He was such a sweet, and giving person. Nothing fake about him. And a wonderful parent
Michael suffered at the hands of these people. This is so sad because there are thousands of people who would like to give you lots of love.
Right 😞👍
Sadly not his last time trusting and being villianized by an interviewer ..I will always support and love you michael wish he heard the admiration not the hate in his life
Blanket gave Oprah the business in that 2010 interview! Hahahaha!
When Oprah reached out to shake his hand, Blanket rubbed his hand across his mouth & had her shake his sticky hand.
Even at that young age of 8, he knew she was up to no good & let her have it. The family knows, my man.
The Jackson Family-particularly mother Katherine-tried to forgive Oprah after Michael's death.
Jackie goes on that long-awaited date Oprah always wanted.
LaToya starts a show featuring parents Katherine & Joseph on Oprah's OWN cable network.
Paris allows Oprah to interview her again at 14 years old.
Katherine gave Oprah a drawing Michael made of Martin Luther King Jr. which Oprah displayed in a meme-worthy pic.
And she STILL plays into the demonization of Michael Jackson.
Even after ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley tells her the truth about her & Michael's marriage after his death (It was real).
But it backfired this time around when she backed Leaving Neverland.
This is no longer the TV Age, you TV Talk Show Host. This is NOW the Internet Age.
And as the late great Whitney Houston said, this is an era where it's all about showing THE RECEIPTS.
When THE RECEIPTS showed up after that smearjob Oprah backed, the people THEN put the scrutiny on HER instead.
The Jackson Family's attempts at reconciliation with Oprah will end up working in their favor.
Now there's documented evidence of her two-faced clout-chasing nature for all the world to see.
she was so jealous of MJ
She hates black men. She's never recovered from being abused as a child. And MJs allegations were her trigger. So all the fear hatred and rage were directed at MJ.
But mj is different from the average black man. (Which is a good thing)
I agree , she had this weird obsession where she wants the attention that Michael has, and did whatever it took to get it . Horrible person . If she was worried about the sexual abuse, she simply didn’t have to interview the whole family . Opportunist and obsessed with Michael .
I agree! That dawned on me as I was watching this! 🎹💜😍🎻
Elizabeth should've trusted her instincts. That was pure intuition. People get so caught up in the adulation connected to Oprah that they deny their own common sense. Especially my people, it's blasphemy for black people to say anything bad about Oprah. I never liked her even as a kid. Her and Gayle got problems. Plus she's best friends with Harvey W. That says it all
Everything when down hill for MJ 👑 after that interview. It goes to show that there are some people you shouldn't allow to get close to you.
Twice. First with Oprah, then Martin. Both times he opened his doors to the world he was followed with hell shortly after
Actually the interview really helped him at the time. His popularity soared after it aired and people finally sympathized with him.
Also the biggest interview of her career that put her on the map.
@@nathanbradleyf777 Yeah it wasn't until after the allegations whe she turned on him.
Lo que me quedó bien gravado, es lo que dijo la hija de Lisa Presley cuando era niña. El tiempo que pasó en Neverland, fué muy feliz. ❤🥀👑🇦🇷🌎
Oprah has always been sus! I find it ironic that she hosted the Leaving Neverland special yet one of her BFFs in Hollywood is Harvey Weinstein. I went to a taping of her show when she had Janet and Tyler Perry as guests. During the commercial breaks, she NEVER engaged with Janet and acted like a stuck up diva towards the audience!
+EdoBAlright Paul Mooney warned us. He knew early on about her character.
A woman so dedicated to being an advocate for abused people & you protect the very people abusing others???
Michael put Oprah on the World Map with this interview. She would have NEVER developed into the force she became if he didn't put her on to that next level. I always saw her as ungrateful quite frankly.
But I damn sure enjoy seeing her fail with her character assassination attempts in this Internet Age.
This ain't 1993 or 2005 anymore. We can check facts in real time here in Internet Land.
We don't need approval from the media gatekeepers anymore. All we need are THE RECEIPTS (thanks Whitney).
@@johnlucas1543 well said
This is why I look at people who blame social media for every wrong in the world side eyed
Many victims and people like Oprah have been exposed due to social media that's a great thing
And ironically Michael is innocent.
I miss you Michael 😢💔
Yes me too 😢
I pray that one day this man finds real peace
Michael Jackson is innocent forever ❤️😇💖
Innocent? Hahaha exactly and Jeffrey Epstein is innocent too , he didn't do anything wrong he is just a victim of calumny and defamation.
Innocent? Hahaha exactly and Jeffrey Epstein is innocent too.
Yes,that‘s right,we must continue to support and protect Michael Jackson 🙂👍
I cannot imagine the distortion one has growing up famous, idolised and wealthy.
Who can possibly handle those things?
8:35 Michael Jackson was a PROFESSIONAL. He had been in the entertainment world since 1970, and doing interviews like this since he was a small child with his Brothers in the Jackson 5 group. So an interview years later is not going to make him nervous.
They ALL did him dirty. 😒
In it for the Money. 💰
Not that they didn't have enough money but want more money than the Jones's next door 🤦♀️
We will never forget what you did to Michael Jackson.
I have zero respect for Oprah because of the way she treated MJ!
She is not a good person at all. R.I.P MJ. Karma is coming.
💓 I sure hope so
Poor Michael 🥺
Yes 😢
Poor Oprah , Michael will rest in peace which is something she will never have
its sad that he had all these people around him that contributed to his suffering without him even knowing it until it was too late & even after he passed. the world needs to learn a lesson from his life. sometimes the world is undeserving of unconditional love.
Yes 😞
Oprah was such a unique case because she constantly swirled around the Jackson family like a vulture. I still don’t understand why she goes so hard against him vs others. It always felt sacrificial, as if she had to take him down to keep in good standing with the elites. She was so calculated with who she went after and who she secretly protected. As someone who roots for Black success, this really confused me. I don’t want to hate her solely because of being a MJ fan, I just don’t understand her snake mentality. I still wish her the best and hope she makes peace with whatever actions she’s made in her lifetime
Leaving Neverland was released the same week as the Weinstein verdict. For me that's not a coincidence considering she was close with Harvey Weinstein. I think it was used as a distraction from the trials and it was (partially) successful. She interviewed Safechuck and Robson
I really appreciate your thoughtful and fair comment. Not only have I been perplexed by her decisions with MJ, it more importantly broke my heart. I was always always such a HUGE Oprah fan. Like seriously! And what bothers me most was the fact that she reduced anyone that did not agree with the poorly done documentary as simply being Michael Jackson fans, as opposed to people who just want the objective truth told credibly. And even though I am such and MJ fan, I take every accusation seriously. But they were too many holes in this documentary for her to align herself with it. She has done so much for the black community in the world at large, for humanity. And I'm conflicted because I don't want all that she has done to be completely overshadowed and discarded because of this. The irony is that she did not take that same mindset towards MJ.
She is the perfect sociopath
Just a opportunist, ready to do anything for money and playing along with people “from there”, a corrupt person without honor.
Very fair, reasonable comment. Thanks for looking at this from multiple angles. It genuinely perplexes me as well
She's a money hungry hypocrite. Doesn't care who she steps on for success.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@greenrockyroad3845 maybe in. Ur world
She should apologize and give all her money away to those who need it and go back to living an average life. She doesn’t deserve the money she has. She cut everyone to get it.
Michael told my cousin this story about Oprah. After their 1993 interview, where Michael said that he was a gentleman and that he didn't talk about whom he slept with, Oprah pressed him on one issue, when the cameras were not rolling and nobody was around. She asked Michael if he were gay. "No", he told her. "Really?" , she asked. "No. I'm heterosexual. I'm straight". "Really?", she asked him again, seemingly incredulously and definitely intrigued. "Really", he said again. She challenged him to prove it. Do you think that Michael Jackson was up to such a challenge? Well, he did prove it to her, in the most definite and ultimate way that a man can prove such a thing to a curious woman who seemingly had to know. Now, this story was allegedly told to my cousin by Michael himself in 2001, and she repeated it to me not long afterwards. If it is true, then perhaps only Oprah knows for sure, but I doubt that she'll ever admit it publicly. Maybe she told Lisa Marie. Sleeping with interviewees might not be seen as ethical for an "unbiased journalist".
Are you implying Oprah had sex with MJ? 👀 😳
I have always believed there was a fling and MJ dropped her. Oprah seems bitter.
Your last quote is in fact what operah is all about😂
Ew.. She’s such an opportunist 😤 I’m happy more people are seeing her for who she really is.
I have a very unique perspective on all of this as I saw my first J5 concert at 4 years old (thus becoming a lifelong MJ fan). I saw him/them many more times over the years, including flying home to L.A. from college in Tennessee TWICE for the last two dates of the Bad Tour (MJ got sick in November and they were rescheduled for January.) I also spent 5 days at Neverland in 2002 with the kids that put MJ on trial in 2005. (Chris Tucker and I became friends before he was famous and we called ourselves “working," but we didn’t accomplish much there - which should surprise exactly nobody lol). Davellin (Gavin’s sister) was my roommate at Neverland (we were the only females in our party of seven) and I formed a bond with those kids myself during our time there. (I've always been a "kid person," so it wasn't hard for it to happen. When I became close with my parents' neighbor's granddaughter - who moved in with her grandma at 4 because her mother lost custody and her father was in prison, she became my sidekick, and all of my friends knew her. At 10, she was treated like a queen on the set of "Rush Hour 3" by Chris, Jackie, and the crew (thanks to Chris) - and I endured it - because she was a fan of both of them. Sets are exceedingly boring for me, and Chris doesn't enjoy them much either - hence his low output of movies - but that's a story for another day lol.) So back in L.A., I knew the Arvizo kids' mom, grandparents, they slept over at my apartment; they even met MY parents. Chris didn’t have anything to do with my relationship with them after we left Neverland, and I honestly can’t remember if he was even aware that I was still in touch with them before the sh** hit the fan. So here’s the point of all that background: I saw (WITH MY OWN EYES) MJ and Gavin behaving in a perfectly normal fashion with each other at Neverland, so when that Bashir documentary came out, I just about fell out of my chair seeing Gavin and MJ all weirdly hugged up the way they were. Beyond that, the kids had never even mentioned that they took part in a documentary at the ranch; I’m sure it was presented to them in a way that suggested it wasn’t going to be a big deal. But after it aired, I KNEW it wasn’t going to be good. I KNEW that Gavin (who had no small ego) was going to catch hell at school, and that it wasn’t going to do anything to give MJ a more positive image. Then the media went crazy about how "inappropriate" everything was... About a year after I went to Neverland, Davellin told me that MJ was going to be arrested about 6 months before it happened during a phone call (without exactly saying that). I innocently asked if they’d been back to Neverland lately (I only went once, but I knew they were frequent guests), and she got quiet. When I asked if everything was OK, she said that they wouldn’t be going back to Neverland anymore. I could read between the lines and said, “Just tell me it isn’t what I might be thinking it is.” She replied, “I can’t.” Then I said, “I’m not going to ask you for any details, but just tell me one more thing… Is it civil or criminal?” She replied, “Criminal.” I don’t know if anyone really knows this (I didn’t at the time), but the law changed between MJ’s 1993 case and Gavin’s. It was no longer allowed for a civil case to proceed as long as a criminal case was pending, so the Arvizos couldn’t have gone after money UNLESS the criminal case had already run its course (if the authorities were willing to press charges). I spent the next 6 months waiting for the other shoe to drop - and when it did, the Arvizos cut off all contact. I can only assume that it was because I’d been friends with Chris for over a decade and it had become clear that he was siding with MJ. I certainly have my own theory as to what really happened (I don’t believe MJ did it, so my theory is about “why” - and the timing of it - because those kids loved MJ to the moon and back), but I don’t have any proof, so I just had the enormous misfortune of being emotionally attached on both sides. Strangely enough, Chris and I never talked about it (but as I said, I don’t remember if he even knew that I was still close with the family when it was all coming out). I will say that the Arvizos never asked me for ANYTHING (my not being rich or famous probably had something to do with that lol), but their mom was a little “off” (always overly appreciative that I was being nice to her kids, as if it had never happened before; I found out during the trial that a LOT of people - who the kids never mentioned - were VERY nice to her kids.) Gavin always gave MJ and Chris ALL of the credit (at least when talking to me) for him surviving cancer because their friendship gave him the strength to keep fighting. It’s troubling that they seemingly went out of their way to portray themselves as this band of six (including the grandparents; the dad - who they said was horribly abusive - was out of the picture before I met them) that would have lost Gavin without Michael Jackson and Chris. In truth, they were getting a LOT of support from a variety of sources before and after I met them. And it just doesn't make any sense that Gavin was FOURTEEN (or very close to it) between February/March 2003 (when the alleged abuse first took place). That's 8 to 9 months after I was at Neverland with them, and Gavin's part of the documentary was shot a good six months before that in December 2001 (according to what the kids told me), so Gavin looked WAY younger in the documentary than he would have when the alleged abuse happened. Also, Gavin's voice was already dropping when I met him at 13. The other accusers were upset about being supposedly "replaced" by a younger kid LONG before they were 14 and in the thick of puberty. MJ had access to Gavin (and his younger brother) for a few years. Why would he wait until Gavin was 14 to abuse him if his "type" was younger? And why would he wait until AFTER the documentary aired (when everybody was already looking at them sideways)? It just doesn't add up or make any sense. And if none of their stories match (besides the two that joined forces - after one of them already testified on MJ's behalf), it's all BS and all about money. But, ultimately, I guess the bottom line is that people are going to believe whatever they want to believe about these sorts of things - no matter who says what about any of it.
EDIT: It's admittedly off topic, but I've written 10 chapters about my Neverland experience (and yes, it was AMAZING 😁). It's all in the replies for anyone who's interested.
I!
@@shjj1983 PART ONE: It all actually started a few months before Neverland (in March 2002). By that point, I'd known Chris Tucker for about a decade and we'd been working together to get some of his ideas down on paper for about a year. To say that Chris (CT) is spontaneous would be an understatement for the ages, so I was already accustomed to just bouncing with him at a moment's notice. One morning (and I'm NOT a morning person), I got a call to go to an airport in Van Nuys. Two hours later, I was on a private jet (CT and I being the only passengers) to NY. It's kinda weird to think about it now, but I didn't ask any questions. CT's life was so much different by that point in comparison to what it was when we first became friends (almost getting kicked out of movie theatres for having popcorn fights and him coming to my parents' house to go jogging with me) that I was just focused on what we were working on and whatever we were doing when we were together. If he had a reason to be in NY and he wanted to work on ideas in and around that, so be it. When we got to NY, we checked into suites on different floors in the Palace Hotel. After going downstairs for dinner in the lobby restaurant, I have to admit that it was more than a bit strange that the only people in there (outside of the staff) were us... and former president Bill Clinton (with his secret service detail). I knew that he and CT were friends, so I didn't think that it was a coincidence, but... still kinda weird to meet a former president and shake his hand as he says, "Hi. I'm Bill" lol. CT even joked that I would have to be his security if anything crazy jumped off because I was all he had... So I assured him that if that happened, his goose was cooked - because I'd be running in the opposite direction of whichever way he went lol. Clinton finished eating first and left, and then we did. As we headed towards the elevators, I assumed that we were just going back to our own suites for the night, but CT stopped me from getting off on my floor, and then we didn’t get off on his either. Next thing I knew, we were getting off on the top floor and then we were in Michael Jackson's suite, and CT HAD NOT WARNED ME AT ALL! Bill Clinton was also in there and I WAS SHOOK. TOTALLY SHOOK! I was the only person with no business being in that room and just getting air into my lungs had become a problem. I was introduced, and I'm sure I mumbled something, but I just wanted to escape. When the three of them started doing impersonations of each other, I made up some reason to leave (that I don't even remember) and BOLTED! So... That story is important because I had my wits about me by the time we got to Neverland, and I don't want anyone to think that I was calm, cool, and collected (despite having met tons of famous folks growing up in and around the industry in L.A. by that point) in my first MJ encounter lol.
PART TWO: Nothing MJ-related happened between that trip to NY and some day in June when, out of the blue, CT said: "Let's get away from everything and go to Mike's for the weekend." (Now, I obviously knew that CT and MJ were friends, but I'd also been around from the days when CT and I were both just huge fans. For a stretch in the 90's, I was his go-to "date" for some "Hollywood" stuff because he knew that I wouldn't embarrass him by fangirling on anybody - and also because we were so firmly in the friend zone that I wouldn't read anything into it and think I was going to end up being Mrs. Tucker. When Magic Johnson opened his theatre, there was a huge party - not that either one of us expected it to be a big deal because we regretted stuffing our faces with Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles earlier that day (the food at the party was insane and we just didn’t have room to partake of any of it; those Roscoe's waffles really do swell up like sponges lol) before changing clothes (sexy girly stuff and no more combat boots for me lol; I'm straight and didn't mind that look on occasion. It just wasn't particularly comfortable day in/day out for a lifelong tomboy) and meeting back up. And the security was ridonkulous. CT had to show his ID THREE different times before we even got out of the car (I was just his +1, so nobody cared about mine lol). We joked that they must be expecting the president, which is kinda ironic since Clinton was the president at the time lol. Anyhoo, we eventually figured out that the security was because MJ was stashed in one of the 16 or so theatres - and CT was determined to find him. We started poking our heads here and there, but we came up empty. When MJ finally emerged at some point to join Magic and say a few words, CT grabbed my wrist and dragged me through the crowd saying, "I've got to see this MF up close" lol. So it was still kinda odd to go from that to the quote about where to spend the weekend.) I took it in stride when CT made the suggestion because, as I said, his plans could change with no warning at all - and he also told me that I couldn't tell anybody - so I tried not to think about it too much. When the day finally came, he just told me to meet him at his house and that we'd go from there. I still wasn't believing it 100%, but off I went. When I got to CT's house, there was a huge bus parked in front of it (like a band tour bus), so it was starting to get more real; I knew we were going SOMEWHERE within driving distance. Inside CT's house, I was surprised to find three kids: Davellin, 16, Gavin, 13, and Star, 12. I had no idea who these kids were to CT or why he was taking them with us to Neverland, but I'd find out soon enough. CT's assistant and his assistant's little brother were going too. I was kinda in my own world for the almost 3 hour drive to the Santa Ynez Valley, and kinda dumbstruck when we finally pulled through the gates of Neverland. I was actually there. I saw my first J-5 concert when I was 4 years old, saw the Jacksons and MJ multiple times after that (even flew home from college in TN TWICE for the Bad tour because MJ got sick in November and the last two dates were rescheduled for January) - and I was about to be the man's houseguest. Holy F***!!!
This is very interesting! Like having an inside view. You just confirmed what everyone already knew. Michael was innocent.
@@KB-xp6dqI wanna hear more 😂
@@SilmeonMusic PART THREE: Once inside the gates, there was some business to attend to before we got anywhere near the house (or the amusement park, theatre, zoo, or anything else Neverland was famous for). Someone from the guard station boarded the bus. Anyone (including CT) over 18 needed to sign an NDA before being allowed any further onto the property. Needless to say, I didn’t actually read it (who would under the circumstances? lol) so I’m just left to believe that I wasn’t supposed to talk to anyone (especially the press) about my time there (especially if anything would paint MJ in a bad light). After that, the bus went up the looooooong driveway (if you can call it that because it was more like a road) until it made a right. MJ’s house was then on the left, the guest cottages were on the right, and a fountain was right in front of us. Davellin was my roommate (we were the only two females) and everybody else bunked-in (nobody had their own room - including CT) to the rest of the cottages. In our room, Davellin (Davie) told me how they came to be on that trip with us (and I’ll try to condense it as much as possible). They met CT when they participated in a comedy workshop for kids at the Laugh Factory on the Sunset Strip. Not long after, Gavin was diagnosed with a particularly nasty form of kidney cancer and the doctors thought it would kill him. His “Make a Wish” was to meet MJ, so he did. While I personally believe that CT and MJ would have met each other eventually on their own, Gavin was the one who orchestrated their introduction, so MJ and CT’s relationship was mixed up with the Arvizos from the start; that’s why they were on that trip with us. When Gavin MIRACULOUSLY recovered (and I’m not being hyperbolic in saying that; the kid really was at death’s door), he credited his friendships with MJ and CT for giving him the strength to keep fighting. So that’s that. It turned out that MJ wasn’t in town when we arrived, and since we were only supposed to be staying for a couple days, he wouldn’t be there by the time we left either. But Prince and Paris were there, and Bigi (Blanket) too - but the world didn’t know about him yet.
PART FOUR: As I said, MJ wasn’t in town, but it didn’t even matter. It was bananas just to be there. Once we were situated, Davie, Gavin and Star took me on a mini-tour - starting with the main house. I didn’t know how many times the kids had been to Neverland before, but they were certainly accustomed to having the run of the place. Because of the unusual situation of the property, nobody used the front door to the main house. The back door (closest to the pool) was our entry point, and it had a code to unlock it (which we had). MJ routinely had large groups of people out to the ranch for charity events and that was just the easiest way to keep random people from wandering through his house while also allowing his actual houseguests access to whatever they may have needed (because staff offices were between the back door and the kitchen). A chef was on duty 24/7 and each meal came with a specific themed menu (but it was just a suggestion; you could ask for anything within reason and they probably had it). If we ate in the house, it was at a normal family-sized table not far from the kitchen. Also near the kitchen was a step-down den area with seating, a grand piano, and TONS of MJ’s family photos. Adjacent to that was a library filled floor to ceiling with books; I didn’t dare touch anything, but I was told that there were a LOT of first edition classics in there. Upstairs, I didn’t see any of the actual bedrooms, but the kids’ playroom was adorable, and the room set up for homeschooling was too. (I actually ended up putting Grace, the nanny, on the phone with a friend of mine who had to start homeschooling her little brother when he became ill, and she gave Grace the blueprint for how to get started for Prince beginning kindergarten in the fall). Next to the main house (connected but with different entrances) were the video library (each cottage still had a VCR and Neverland basically had its own Blockbuster in case guests wanted to watch something), MJ’s dance space (where you could LITERALLY see where he’d worn away the top surface of the floor practicing spins in front of the mirror), and the fire station (yep, Neverland had its own fire truck). I can’t remember when or where I met Prince and Paris, but I’m pretty sure it was the first day.
EDIT: Someone else asked first, so scroll up in the replies if you missed the first two parts.
She Will never be able to do anything else to him and I will always love him forever
The way people capitalize off of you after you're dead and gone is just sickening.
To smile in someone's face one day, and become one of the most important leads in the "tainting" of their legacy the next; has to be one of the greatest testament of "scummy" of all times.
But I guess "money talks" and where there is a way to gain more of it; why not?

Investigate what happened at Oprah's school in South Africa
I heard about that. Some of the girls were raped there
what happened?
Seriously what happened I need details
Exactly
Michaels a good person to not be treated like that ❤❤
Michael Joseph Jackson was a handsome black man. The Jackson's were the standard for black beauty for a long time. Joe had his flaws too. He treat his offspring like employee's !
The Jackson 5 were Joe’s money making machines. Poor kids 😢
Michael Joe Jackson
Something is TRULY DEMENTED about Someone who is DETERMINED! to destroy the memory of someone and Hold a LIFELONG HATRED against someone who has passed away and no longer on Earth to defend themselves.
Still don’t trust that lady til this day
Oprah before and after money is night and day
Oprah asks the questions that people wanted to know in that interview in the early 90s & fair play to her. But the way she apparently was really warm to to him off the cameras and someone he seemed to like, she switched a whole 100% when it did not suit her image it seems. We all know
I always did like her interviewing style. She really WAS good at asking the questions that we all wanted to know ABSOLUTELY 💯
She's not a human and simply does planned things beyond the ethics.
Oprah messed up when she an asked Michael the private question about was he a virgin., which was a private question and you don’t ask something like that for the public to hear. Oprah had no decorum at that point! She basically assumed he abused children which I never believed, and she was tacky!
Yes and when Michael asks her " Why would you ask me a question like that?" Her answer
" because I want to know" ! How disgusting.
@@AnnetteRoughana for unbiased journalist to prove sexual id sleeping with her interviewee for her proof will not be taken as negative 😂
A number of things I have come to realize. Number 1) Some people are meant to be your close friends, but not all close friends are the best advisors for you. Sorry to say, Elizabeth Taylor may have been one of MJ's closest friends who stood by him through thick and thin, BUT to me it seems she influenced him on making the worst decisions ever! Starting with encouraging him to do that first interview with Oprah. Larry King would have done a far better job, blunt while being respectful. And what's sad is am pretty sure one of the reasons MJ gave Oprah that interview was to help a fellow African American succeed, witch (pun intended) she most certainly did not deserve. It was also through Elizabeth that MJ met David Geffen (I encourage y'all to read up on Donna Summer's downfall and who was behind it, then contrast that with what happened to MJ's career. His troubles started the second he started listening to that creep and his minions). He also met Dr. Klein and Debbie Rowe through Elizabeth, pretty sure he would have faired better without those two in his life! 2) I fail to understand why some members of the Jackson family allowed to be interviewed by Oprah, like seriously?!? 3) I wish someone had the foresight to encourage MJ to be interviewed either in Japan or South Africa by one of their popular reporters. You go where you're treated the best and respected and that was definitely not the US, UK, Australia where the media was brutal towards MJ and constantly ridiculed him. I remember growing up in East Africa, we love MJ and the things media was saying about him involving his skin, nose and sexuality were not relevant - we simply loved his talent, compassion, generosity and smile. Western media was hellbent on destroying him and still are.
Shame on her! Karmas a bitch!
When those names get leaked for who was on that island I wanna see what those same people who crucified MJ would do
Excellent comment 💯, because always Michael is the bad guy at the end of the day, but karma is waiting for them
Mike is the GOAT
You forgot to mention that she allegedly watched the leaving neverland documentary first on David Geffen's yacht on her birthday. It's been suggested also that she focused on Michael because her friend Harvey Weinstein add a documentary about him coming out that was going to be making a rounds at film festival. I read that Weinstein I had a habit of trying to take the public's attention away from him by having the press focus on other individuals like Michael Jackson. So it's very possible that between weinstein, Oprah, Geffen, and whoever else, that this was planned. And if you watch her interview with the accusers on after leaving Neverland, you can see that some of the stories and things they shared don't make sense to her, but she is invested too much in doing this so she tries to help them along.
She didn't allegedly watch it on his yacht. There's actually pictures of her, Gayle and David watching it. David wanted to show it to her and probably invited her for that very reason.
@@nathanbradleyf777 I agree,it was almost like a birthday gift to Oprah.I read they sat watched that crap,brought out a birthday cake and sang happy birthday to O.Didn't know she knew Geffen,who others say hated Michael.From the photos,Julia Roberts was there as well.
She's also friends w John of God and Jeffrey Epstein.
thank you detail for covering this topic! i never really understood the conflict between Jackson and Oprah, and now after watching yet another one of your crafted masterpeices, i finally get it. thank you
Майкл был слишком добрым и доверчивым и каждый хотел использовать эту слабость против его😢
Right ,poor Michael 😢
WOW. What a powerful intro drawing the parallels to this interview being the modern day MTV cribs and Michael revolutionizing that on top of everything he has changed 🔥
Michael was a soft hearted person
"the gloved one", I love it xD
SHAME ON YOU OPRAH 😢
I love the way the narrator mimics their voices ever so slightly lol x
I Remember watching I couldn't not wait to watch Michael Interview Michael forever ❤️
Oprah was always shady to Black celebs. But what's tricky is she isn't all the way wrong for highlighting child SH/ SA as an important issue
Michael Jackson trusted people too easily.
As a black woman myself, Oprah is one of the most disgraceful black woman I’ve ever seen. That’s is why I don’t support anything she does including the color purple musical or anything or anyone associated with her for what she has done to Michael and the Jackson family. She tarnished her reputation and career to me after that.
The only time Michael truly open himself up was with Rabbi Shmuley, Michael had an incredibly difficult time trusting people and he was very selective and I don’t blame him.
Shmuley. That backstabbing snake. As soon as Michael dies, he exposes all of their private conversations for the entire world to see. Disgusting betrayal of trust
The rabbi stabbed him in the back too! After Michael died he released all the personal tapes he made with him and criticized him in the media. Then he condemned him when Leaving Neverland came out.
Чтобы они о нём не говорили, как бы не пытались опорочить его имя, он всё равно останется в сердцах людей, как любили так и будут любить, главный двигатель этого мира это народ, а не такие ведьмы как эта баба злая, а народ всегда будет его любить и его музыка всегда будет на высоте! Знаю по себе, даже если он реально был монстром, я всё равно не перестану восхищаться этому вечному королю музыки и танца!
Michael Jackson was never a monster, all the accusations are false, to make money from him.
Что примечательно и очень отрадно, что Майкла любят с каждым днём всё больше людей на земном шаре, открываются глаза, люди открывают его для себя, знакомяся с ним и он уже становится для них родным навсегда. Тому свидетельств огромное множество🌅
@@Sunshine-dx5xo У меня вошло уже в привычку задавать вопросы детям и подросткам, я спрашиваю у них знают ли они ту, или иную звезду, называю имена мировых звёзд, единственный человек которого знают обсалютно все из них, это Майкл Джексон, а другие имена мало кто называет! Это говорит о том, что Майкл всегда будет блистать ярче всех, непревзойденный и неподражаемый, его уровень достигает на 500 лет вперёд!
Michael Jackson is not a Monster 😤
@@reginaruttkowski1217 Я знаю! Он ангел! Но даже если он был монстром, я не смогу не любить его! Его невозможно ненавидеть!
I appreciate your viewpoint, seeing Michael Jackson as a unique man, but a man after all
Michael tried to step out and trust people. And every single time it ended up being someone trying to leverage him for money or fame. I cant blame him for trying to stay private for so long. The man lived a real life sentence of loneliness.
THE HELL WITH OPRAH WINFREY ~ Wilmrbadguy
She is an opportunist, like all the others in the business. MJ is innocent.
Another reason why I side eye janet… she continued to go on this snakes show…
She got uber famous off him in the early days of her career, used his public image as content for her show, profited off his death then profited off his children. A true snake
Michael sempre inocente. Oprah oportunista.
I lost all respect for her and never watched her again
She will pay...😅
oooh I sure hope so!!!
Snake is too good for what she is.EVIL
It's no way she loves herself and the skin that she is in. Pure unadulterated evil. Thing is...she gotta wish she was a snake to shed her skin too. It's sad
He was a beautiful soul who was abused first by his father and after that by the media.
Until 90 million people tune into a The Weeknd interview leave all comparisons at the door.
3:01 throwing up that 666.... then again while moving hand talking.
He shouldn't have done that interview. He trusted her. Smh. Sad part is she knew it. But at the end of the day shes NO FRIEND shes a REPORTER. Some of those topics shouldn't be brought up unless your in therapy. Idk who she think she is. Rip Michael
I don't know why SOME celebrities open up to her very detailed
..
Always first for Michael Jackson 😎
Michael protected his kids, and his family ignored his wish for Oprah. Zero respect.
And about this woman... what goes around, comes around.
Michael's gone....the damage is what Oprah has done to her wicked self...can't hurt Michael too many people love and miss him.
Michael was stirring in his grave when O interviewed his kids.
If you in the black community, you probably knew someone with vitiligo.. I grew up seeing it many times, but it never had a name, and no ever talked about it..
I respect Mike (RIP) when he want to keep his personal life personal because bragging about your sex life to the world what makes a Black American man look bad because they gave us a bad name in relationships. Other ethnic groups in their culture traditionally such as the Chinese don't brag and keep it to themselves.
+alwaystheone Someone gets it. Michael was being a role model for Blacks & breaking stereotypes.
He was a pioneer from the very beginning. The Jackson 5 wee pioneers from the outset.
He had responsibilities & took them seriously. That's why he did certain things with how he was portrayed.
Liz Taylor looks like a young mel Gibson in drag 😂😅
I don't want to know any celebrity's (or anyone else's for that matter) sex life. That's just tacky and classless. Privacy is important.
I don’t remember O. being loved and known WORLDWIDE such as Michael was LOVED, before the interview. She also seemed to disrespect him and I’m sure he felt it but treated her kindly. R.I.P. dear Michael ❤❤❤❤❤❤
His lack of discernment is epitomised by the fact he trusted OPRAH WINFREY to let his guard down with. But then you have to ask, who could he have trusted back then?
Michael ist so ein lieber Mensch andere haben das ausgenutzt er definitiv vielen zuviel Vertraut. Sehr,sehr traurig 😢😢😢😭😭😭😫😫😫
One day, one man turned to his teacher and asked: “Teach me how not to be disappointed in people?” and the mentor replied: “You must be ready to receive everything from them.”
She threw him under the bus and continued driving back over him over and over again. . .
Muito bom o seu vídeo! Obrigada ❤️❤️
Everybody wanted to destroy michael
