Hi Diane, I believe that the public is intitled to know the truth. When our son's case was in the LA County Court, we were in a hearing one day and Michael's parents and his attorneys came in for an emergency hearing. We stepped out of our hearing, took a break in order to allow them to go before the judge. People are cruel and greedy and will say whatever they need to say to get what they want, no matter who they harm. We know this very well. I felt for Michael's parents that day. They were very distraught and I know that feeling very well. I admire your strength and courage to expose what needs to be exposed. You are a light of hope for so many! We will keep exposing the truth until we change how these things are handled by the courts. God Bless!

Light of hope? Hilarious. She reported so many things that proved to be WRONG. Tabloid shite.

Notice no specifics -- just an empty complaint.

Try again. Those were real. I suppose you're gonna tell me the "FBI investigated MJ and cleared him". That's another myth. In the updated version of my book – – audiobook – – I devote a whole chapter to Dispelling the crazy myths floating out there.

They were real. But they didn’t use them in court? Hahaha. Care to explain?

The amount of times this woman reported falsities is shocking. The transcripts of the trial exist. She reported defense, not prosecution. Lost all credibility.

Soooo good to read something from my all-time FAVORITE investigative journalist.❤️

“Investigative journalist” is a hilarious way to describe this woman.

It is fascinating that decades later, we are still seeing attempts to re-prosecute a case in the court of public opinion that failed completely in a court of law. Framing the narrative to bypass the legal outcomes (not guilty on all 14 counts), and mocking those who point out the inconsistencies in the Arvizo story isn't bolstering any argument. This is a disappointing cash grab by Netflix in a time when many prominent US leaders have been accused of very real crimes.

Happy Grifter Day, Diane!

33 years, and counting.

Thank you for all of your years investigating and speaking up. And continuing to do so despite all the hate from his defenders. It seems each of Michael's "special friends" eventually comes forward and admits abuse. More will come in time and it's people like you that create a safer space for them when they feel ready to speak their truth. Your detailed reporting helps make a clear case that common sense just can't justify.

Thank you, Bonnie. You just followed the facts

I think it’s funny - the United States turned on MJ - wonder why? Oh, the media. The single group devastated at an innocent verdict. No more stories to spin.

Did I want to get back into this? F course you did. Always grifting.
