5:54 Wow, Mainstream Journalism is truly gone under. That's NOT Jordan Chandler, that's _"Brett Barnes"_ Someone who to this day still says that Michael never abused him. Is it that hard to do any legitimate research 🤦🤦🤦 And while Hammel claims that Michael was accompanied by Barnes during the Bad tour era, records should clarify that Barnes actually traveled and spent time with Jackson during the early _1990s,_ specifically around the Dangerous tour (1992), not than the Bad tour (1987-1989).
The media is dying😂😂😂😂
Can I just ask why? Is this way to drum up ratings? He is gone and can't defend himself. The jury acquitted him. So let it be.
The richest people are always the ones asked for help from the poorest friends and non-friends not even acquaintances this goes on 24/7/365 all these Michael Jackson accusers are lying, as the FBI cleared Michael Jackson in 2018 after 30 year investigation into his life from these accusers accusations and lies the FBI did not find one inch of evidence showing he was a child molester, look it up 2018 FBI press release, regarding Michael Jackson
I think people will ask why someone who was abused will continue to hang out with their abuser. There was a case of a child abused by a priest who continue to be friendly and abused by his abuser into his teens and the priest gave gifts like a car to him. Clearly the adult is a predator and any adult will never put themselves in that situation
Wow you did all that research and you end up showing a photo of Brett Barnes instead of Jordy Chandler.... really thorough job...
Megyn. you need to interview the Cassio(?) family, who MJ called his "second family." All 4 of them claimed her abused them for years.
True victims seek accountability and recognition for what happened to them — not financial gain. If these accusations were genuine, they could have pursued justice during the original trial, where some of these same individuals testified in his defense against similar claims. Instead, many of the accusers later pursued financial settlements, even agreeing to documents stating that no abuse occurred in order to receive payment.
There is just so much that Hammel left out, whether deliberate or otherwise when bringing up the 93 case. First he implies that Evan Chandler discovered the sleeping arrangements and naturally sought legal aid to investigate abuse. But He leaves out the infamous taped phone conversation of Evan Chandler before the lawsuit was officially filed. In the recording, Evan explicitly laid out a plan to financially destroy Jackson, stating: _"If I go through with this, I win big. There's no way I lose... I will get everything I want and they will be destroyed forever."_ Chandler did not mention a desire to protect his son from ongoing abuse in that tape; instead, the focus was entirely on financial leveraging. He then says that Evan found out his son was sharing a room with Jackson "with the approval of June Chandler". But leaves out a massive conflict within the family. June heavily resisted Evan’s stories at the time. In fact, June initially defended Jackson, believing Evan was scheming a vindictive extortion plot against Michael because he was angry about custody and financial disputes with her. Hammel states that Evan Chandler hired aggressive lawyers, who sent Jordy to psychiatrists, who then acted as mandatory reporters to trigger the police investigation, but glosses over how the disclosure happened. Jordan was under the influence of Amytal (commonly known as "truth serum") administered during a dental-related procedure and subsequent psychiatric evaluations. It was even highlighted by others that these highly suggestive environments and drug-induced states are notorious for creating false or coerced memories, heavily pushed by an aggressive father seeking a payout. Lastly Hammel brings up the claim that Jordan gave specific details about a "brown splotch" and "red spots" on Jackson's body, which prompted the strip search. But omits the full outcome of that humiliating search. The photographs and physical descriptions taken by the police did not match the specific, unique descriptions Jordan had allegedly provided. (Specifically Chandler claimed that Jackson was circumcised, when the photos and autopsy shows he wasn't) Because the physical evidence failed to create a definitive match to the boy's affidavit, which is why prosecutors ultimately lacked the evidence to file criminal charges.
