I write “some of” her interviews, because in the 1993-1994 period she was pretty inconsistent.
Now, the fact that his own sister had spoken out was a huge news story.
In the wake of the 1993 Jordan Chandler allegations against Michael, LaToya first gave a public interview about them on September 2, 1993 as a guest on the Today show where she said: “I stand by [Michael] one thousand percent…If you think about it he has been convicted before a trial”.
From this information Michael Jackson’s detractors (among them journalist Diane Dimond) concluded that the boy in question was James Safechuck, since it is his father who had a waste collection company. It is a proper loan, that the Safechucks should have returned.
This is what James’s mother, Stephanie Safechuck said in Leaving Neverland about the loan: “We wanted to buy another house, and Michael gave us a loan at a very low percentage rate. They mentioned it in the documentary Leaving Neverland. Escute com a letra! James Safechuck’s current allegations do not confirm LaToya’s “hush money” suggestion at all, nor do LaToya’s 1993 claims confirm the Safechuck allegations. However, that story does not align with LaToya’s.
LaToya with her manager-husband, Jack Gordon. Por favor, envie uma correção >. 10 anos de "Teenage Dream", o clássico álbum de Katy Perry!
In another interview with Maury Povich LaToya said she never saw Michael in bed with any boy, but she believed that her brother was guilty.
Gordon also threatened that he or his mob associates would kill Michael, if LaToya did not do what he instructed her to do. “Even Michael Jackson’s sister, LaToya said he was guilty” / “James Safechuck’s current allegations back up what LaToya said in 1993” Posted on August 18, 2019 by jacksonallegations Michael Jackson detractors often use some of LaToya Jackson ‘s 1993-1994 interviews against him.
Gordon completely isolated her from her family and the world, she was not even allowed to read anything or watch television. Jackson forgave them the loan not in immediate aftermath of their testimonies in 1993/1994, but more than 3 years later, in June 1997.
Moreover, the Safechucks have not befriended Michael until 1987 and LaToya claimed in her interview above that she saw the checks in 1984. [1], LaToya’s turnaround came months later. LaToya left her family’s home in Encino/Hayvenhurst in May 1988.
This negative press was just what those working against Michael wanted. Even now, the Safechucks do not claim that at any time they received hush money from Jackson.
LaToya many years later revealed that Gordon was physically abusive with her and forced her to do many things against her will – like cutting ties with her family, posing nude in Playboy in 1988 etc. Gordon then made her appear on a few other shows to speak negatively about Michael. BTS lança novo single "Dynamite". Jackson detractors then use the current Safechuck allegations as evidence of LaToya’s 1993 claims being true (or LaToya’s claims as support for Safechuck’s allegations). Nor with LaToya’s story who claimed to have seen the checks in 1984. She also stated that she didn’t believe Michael was really addicted to drugs and that it was a made-up story. It’s just coincidental, he wasn’t buying us off, but the timing’s right there.
We were on Michael’s camp.
And after that was all said and done is when Michael forgave the debt. The subtle suggestion seems to be that Jackson forgave the loan immediately after they testified for him as a kind of reward for that.
Just sounds bad. My husband had already had a deposition.
If I could go back in time, I would prefer to have died at Gordon’s hand than to have given it to him.” [4]. On December 8, 1993 she held a press conference in Tel Aviv, Israel and this is the press conference that is often cited by Michael’s detractors as “evidence” of his guilt.
[4], Gordon hated Michael and rejoiced when the 1993 allegations broke. Everyone in the situation won, except for Michael and me. Joe worked as their manager. When Leaving Neverland aired in March 2019, some of the media again tried to resurrect LaToya’s 1993 words against Michael.
In actuality, when LaToya was asked a direct question in an interview about whether it was hush money, she admitted she could not tell that. Considering these facts, it is time for the media and detractors to stop taking LaToya’s 1993-1994 words out of the context of the whole situation surrounding her at the time, and it is time to stop ignoring what she said about it after she escaped the abusive situation she was in at the time of those interviews.
Since Gordon was jealous because he said I thought Michael was the closest thing to God, and he hated the way he felt that I worshipped Michael – even though it wasn’t worship, it was love – Gordon was happy to see Michael’s name tarnished, as others were, too. First of all, the Safechucks did not claim it to be hush money. But I cannot and will not be a silent collaborator of his crimes against small innocent children… I love my brother but it’s wrong. James Safechuck’s allegation is that he never told his parents about his alleged abuse until he was an adult, so of course his parents could not have received “hush money” to be silenced in the 1980s.
None of this correlates with LaToya’s story and what Michael Jackson detractors are trying to make out of it. [1] What she did in this and other subsequent interviews was simply creating innuendo and conjecture. News of the allegations against him had already created a media frenzy. She stated that there was nothing unusual about Michael’s relationship with children and that she would only believe these allegations if they came from Michael’s own mouth.
At the press conference LaToya said: “Michael is my brother and I love him a great deal. So neither did the date when Jackson gave them the loan (1992) or when he forgave them the loan (1997) had any correlation with the 1993 allegations and the Safechucks’ testimonies then.
Just sounds bad”).
The suggestion is that it was some sort of hush money for sexual abuse. Magazines and newspapers often mentioned his name in reports about Jackson, so if anyone wanted to make up a “hush money” story about Michael Jackson and a boy in 1993, it would have been a no-brainer to use a boy in that story who had often been publicly seen with the entertainer.
My son also for Michael.
I don’t want to see these kids hurt”. [3] [4] She could not have seen and discussed checks in the family home after May 1988.
[1]. (The John Branca, named as the Trustee of the NL Trust named in the document was a lawyer representing Michael Jackson, and is currently one of the executors of his Estate.).
That does not make much sense, since if he tried to bribe them he would have told them in advance of their testimony that he would forgive them the loan if they testified in his favor, and no such thing happened, even according to the Safechucks’ own story. The name of James Safechuck was well known for the public at the time. A comprehensive discussion of the child abuse allegations against pop star Michael Jackson. (Katherin Jackson later denied these claims.) On the contrary! She stated she saw a check in the amount of $1 million made out to the father of a young boy.
According to LaToya’s 2012 autobiography entitled Staring Over, Gordon regularly beat her and intimidated her by threatening to kill her or her brother, Michael or sister, Janet.
LaToya wrote in her book that she had guilt and regret about what she had done to Michael: “The repercussions of my press conference went around the world.
