Nice to see even as adult Macaulay Culkin stood by Michael’s side.
Because cullk didn’t get molested by him. Others did tho
Culkin was too famous #1 child star he wouldn't touch him
Aaron Carter spent lots of time with him also and never said anything but good things about Michael. I think his strange behavior and his proclivity to be around children was sensationalized by the media. Did he maybe rape a few kids? yah probably tho lol
Well, he could only speak to what he knew. Doesn't mean MJ wasn't guilty.
Maybe Macaulay just didn't turn him on. Some idiot actor said the same about James Dean, "We shared a bed and he didn't touch me so he couldn't have been gay." Maybe he was just polite or you weren't his type.
Macaulay Culkin never changed his story once.. it's easy to hear how genuine he is whenever he speaks
Even Corey Feldman, who has actually been sexually abused in Hollywood, has defended Jackson. Victims understand other victims.
So you think it's normal for an adult to hang out with children like this?
The power of grooming. You’re pretty naive.
@@kristofferhellstromMichael was a child really, I mean he was probably chemically castrated when you think about it, so his voice wouldn't break
@@kristofferhellstromRight until these kids finally speak out.
I genuinely think MJ liked being around kids, not only bc his childhood was trash and non existent, but because hanging out with kids was the only time he felt comfortable and could be himself. MJ was oober famous. Like scary famous. Dangerous famous. There will never be that kind of fame again (because of social media) but MJ was so famous that he lived a very abnornal life. He couldnt go anywhere, he was hounded and harassed and yelled at, chased, always had to have security, one time he paid a grocery store to shut down just so he could grocery shop himself to feel like a normal human being. I think he enjoyed kids company because he enjoyed the same things kids enjoy and they looked at him like just a normal dude. He wasnt "the MJ" like he was to the rest of the world. I cant fathom living with that sort of fame. Ive heard other celebrities speak about how even they were scared of his fame and felt uncomfortable around him because of all the attention and fans he attracted. I think he was a big kid at heart and was until the day he died. Listen to the way he spoke, he blushed when asked about girlfriends, he never cursed, he was a gentleman. Was he odd? Definitely. But anyone who grew up and was surrounded with that kind of fame and attention would be. 🤷♀️ Just my opinion.
very well said
Listen to the account of the maid who told what she whitnesed
my theory has always been that it becomes very difficult too mature socially as a celebrity so around the time they get famous they get stuck in that mental age simply bc it’s the last normalcy they’ve had.
Michael once said that he enjoyed kids company because they were pure at heart and didn't wanted to cling onto his fame. Kids treated him like a friend not a celebrity.
@@mikemiller659 I've heard it all. I dont buy it. Sorry, I know a lot of people feel strongly about it, I just don't believe it. I find it really messed up that his two biggest accusers denied MJ did ANYTHING to them and even TESTIFIED IN HIS DEFENSE in his trial, until after his death. Maid didn't come forward until after his death. Everyone is accusing and bashing MJ based on people's words, without any actual evidence, when reality is these childrens' parents let them go stay in a grown man's house and even encouraged it!!!! That's what's crazy to me. I would N E V E R allow my child to stay in an adult's home. Idc if it's the president of the USA. Absolutely not. I just see malice and greed. 🤷♀️ Just my opinion.
man, when I was 20 years old i used to hang out with 10 years old kids and i had a blast. i was teased by adults and told me that they looked like my minions and now we are all adults We are still together doing the thing we still do, playing video games and sht like that, we had the same interests. one of the kid who was my bestfriend is now my personal secretary and his loyalty is unmatched, he was the one who ran and bought medicine when i was sick in the middle of the night, he was the one who assisted me on my surgery. we've been hanging out since he was 9 years old and now he's 27 years old and he is the godfather of my child. we never stopped and we plan to get rich together.
Yea I was 16 some of my friends was 11 and 12 growing up we all had fun they are like 31 now and I’m 36 love them dearly
I found kids were better then the fakers I was around. Then I realized they aren't different from the parent fakers
Macaulay always stood by Michael. Why? Because he hadn’t nothing to gain by falsely accusing Michael. He had money. He had fame.
@swagdollarbills so then why was he friends with him? You’re twisting your own logic…
@Vlad Amir Al-Putin u didn't have to hurt a troll that bad💀💀💀
You can also say that Jackson was not stupid enough to touch a famous kid like that
@@johnsonmark65 so then why was his friends with him, if the whole idea was that he befriended these kids in order to molest them? You’re twisting your own logic
I don't know why people continue to use this "friendship" as proof of MJ's innocence. Not touching one kid does not mean he didn't touch other kids.
Nothing or no one could ever make me view Michael Jackson the way the media has portrayed him .
SAME!
That’s exactly how I feel. I tell my friends and they think I’m crazy. The media was cruel to Michael .
@@RafaelCruzPodcast that’s exactly how my whole family is and friends say to me but i idgaf because i can think for my self and everything the accused him of nun of timelines makes sense
The only reason for this, is because he’s Michael Jackson
Me too
Their friendship was very symbiotic. Michael gave Mac the guidance of how to navigate life as a child star. Advice that very few people can give. Macaulay gave Mike the experience of the childhood he was robbed of. It's sick that humans automatically assumed that there was a predatory, sinister side to this. Michael Jackson was protecting Macaulay from the trauma that he experienced at that age and they were a positive force in each others life until the media started making creepy accusations.
Sad. That Mack was Absolutely adorable. Michael helped him going through this business as a child And Mack helped him be a child . Sad accusations came out. Has been and want to be stars turned against him Mack was always will be a star And never turned his back on Michael. Paris is his God Daughter. She loves her God father.
individuals testimony in court equals to automatic assumptions to you? you just disgarded multiple peoples real stories (I'm not taking a side, but you can't blame Michael's defamation on 'automatic assumptions because of his friendships')
I'm a 40 year old woman and I prefer kids to adults sometimes. The innocence, the honesty, and the pure elation they feel towards basic things. Like playing tag, seeking adventures, laughter, etc. The media ruined this part of Michaels life. There are people out there who are unique and do things differently, doesn't mean they deserve to be trashed when nothing was ever proven.
Less drama, naturally funny, don’t drink and act like jerks, non judgmental.
@@lacarpetrondukemarriottexactly
Anyone who's a really big fan of Michael's knows what his childhood was like and I truly feel he was just trying to relive the childhood he never had. Such a kind and gentle person but because the way he was I feel he was an easy target
Yess exactlyy!! I’m so sad that Michael went through that, he of all people really didn’t deserve all that 😭
And he regularly warned people about evil Illuminati / elitist shit
I was not a big fan but know his childhood was bad. His father was evil. He never had a childhood
Que hace un adulto durmiendo con un niño dias y dias come on reviviendo que ? No seas tonto amigo
@@javier2565 he did literally nothing to those children
My respect for Culkin has skyrocketed. MJ was a pure good hearted person who loved kids and Macaulay being friends with him is so wholesome and I love their friendship.
This is a wonderful documentary and proves their perfectly innocent, beautiful, true and loyal friendship. I never for a moment thought MJ did ANYTHING wrong or immoral with ANY kid. He just genuinely loved children. Not in a gross or evil way, just genuinely adored kids. It’s incredibly sweet the friendship Mac and Michael shared. Love how Mac stood up for and by Michael. Remarkable!
🤭
I hope you never have children . Mac has 2 young sons. Eventually he will realize that what mj did wasnt love and you will be eating your childish words. Learn how grooming works.
To me it’s really tragic that his legacy is so tainted. You can’t talk about him without someone making a comment on the allegations. The saddest thing is that because of his abusive upbringing, he grew into a misunderstood adult. And when he was finally doing the things that made him happy, he was called a weirdo or an abuser. The media really can’t stand good people, their good intentions are always distorted by the hate in the world
hate in america you mean?
Keep telling yourself that
@@PureCapsaicinand you are??
@@sebastianbucur4221 Jimmy neutron in tha mathafuckin flesh
So true!! Michael is a victim of the media and greedy people.
Amazing how this friendship broke not just the racial barrier, it's broke age barrier, too and lasts long after the death of one of them. This kind of friendship and loyalty is very, very rare.
Lol Culkin probably thought he was white 😂
The race "thing" is a recent fenomena. I don't understand how on world people can go to the race card with this. They were both in the industry. They related to each other. They are/were both human beings. Period.
MJ saying "I am the Michael Jordan of water baloon fights" in his soft voice and seeing him yeeting stuff at others, is hilarious😂
Mac and Michael’s friendship just sounded so beautiful and sadly so rare. I used to be great friends with one of my dad’s friends. And he never did anything harmful to me, not once, ever. We just had great conversations, great rides in his drop top, and great tea. I miss him a lot. He got sick a while ago and is just not able to go out much anymore. I reach out to him every once in a while to let him know I think about him.
So no child has ever been molested ? I mean you’re kind of saying that with your anecdotal statement
That’s a good friend.
Being accused of something like this is the worst thing I can imagine. It absolutely ruins your reputation because even if you were proven to be a 100% innocent there would always be people that want to believe your guilty. It is absolutely horrifying to think all someone has to do is make a false accusation and your life as you knew it is over. Horrible!
Jesus went through it too. Except everyone knew with certainty he was innocent, the trials were rigged and just wanted blood. This stuff with public attention and corruption have always existed dragging innocent people to the grave.
very true and Michael was a very easy target for that
Surely not worse than actually being abused...
@@jasminecreed3557 you don't know what is worse because you haven't been in his situation. And people have different reactions to the same situations.
That's why I hated the me too movement, too many were falsely accused and had their lives ruined.
It breaks my heart that MJ had to deal with such accusations while real child predators walk free in the entertainment industry
Yeah i know!
WELL SAID
He made for a great distraction while they did the REAL dirt behind closed doors.
He had a dark side. Why do you think he stopped hanging out with these kids when they got a little older. Look up Michael Jackson's safe. Disgusting.
Oh wow, you didnt got anything from anything...and I'm Mjs biggest fan, It will never be a singer close to what MJ been but his personal life was a mess to say the least!
Jackson was acquitted on all counts on June 13, 2005. He died on 25 June 2009. RIP.
Their relationship came across as brothers. It’s so wholesome to see
i was very lucky to met Michael Jackson When i was 10 in 1997 my dad was Security of his Live Shows in Munich and i had a chance to met him backstage.and he was like the most kindest person I've ever met. he gave me hug and being very friendly.he asked me about my fave video games,movies and fave music.and then we took picture. RIP MJ
Wow so lucky
Nice 💖
What a beautiful friend
I hope you told him the obvious choice of your favorite video game: Moonwalker.
Sooooo Lucky!!! Michael was a very misunderstood person. They hurt him..and he left us. So soon.. I'll never get over it.
Macaulay was a true friend: even after Michael has passed, he keeped saying good things. We can see how much he misses Michael!🙏🏻❤️👏🏻
it always blows my mind how people could do Michael so bad... its so very clear he is a genuine but broken person and people used that against him
I dated a guy with a very similar personality type to Michael's. He adores kids and is still miserable that he doesn't have any, so he kind of adopts other peoples' kids. He is super fun and would be a great dad. There is definitely projection involved (projecting ones innocence onto children because adulthood brings problems and complications that children don't have, that he can't handle). He has a hard time being in the adult world, he just wants to dissapear into his sentimentalized fantasy world where there are no problems. I couldn't be with him for longer than two years because he was always too busy avoiding me, getting lost in his idealized image of me where i didn't remind him of real world expectations and problems. I see a lot of the same behavior patterns in him as MJ.
I love Macaulay’s loyalty towards MJ. Mac never stopped supporting MJ especially during the darkest moments of his life unlike most the celebrities who were present at his funeral. I love how he valued his friendship with Michael and doesn’t sell his friendship by releasing a book. I bet when Michael met Mac’s father for the first time, he could see his father in the eyes of Mac’s father.They both are child stars and have traumatic childhood due to their abusive father. MJ did a fantastic decision to name Mac as The Godfather of his kids. I truly believe that MJ welcomed all these child stars like Mac in his ranch to protect them from pedophilia in Hollywood.
Yes🇷🇺🙏🙏🙏🙏
Omg ofcourse! 👍
YES!!
Right
Their connection was about 7" deep
As someone who also had a tough childhood having to grow up fast I spent all of my free time doing childish things , and buying myself toys I never got to have. It all makes sense , I hate that they vilified him, when his heart was so pure
My mother would do the same with my sister and I. Bought all these toys and played with us because she never had new nice toys and had to also grow up fast.
Yes I purchase all the toys from my childhood. 100% and I love acting goofy and it feels incredible!
I’ve been doing the same and I love it lol. Michael was just healing his inner child like a lot of us are doing. If anything, he was the first to do it imho. If it’s ok for us to do it, why couldn’t Michael do the same without being judged? 😔
My friend did that he bought all the toys he wanted
You dont know that he was innocent. Just think for one second that you might be wrong. Calling his heart pure is very twisted when you are wrong. He was not sterile and yet did not have any of his own kids. Weird, huh?
Macaulay will forever be loved..He was the coolest kid back in the day.Still today , as a adult , Macaulay still talks highly about him and Michael Jackson's friendship. To me , that speaks volumes. 👍🏻🙂
It's "as an adult" not "a adult" did you not graduate from high school or maybe a GED?? Illiteracy is real I'm aware
@@NitroTime88not everyone is from usa 🇺🇸 You know that there are other countries on the Map 🗺 right? And yet they care to learn English, and that is awesome imo. There’s no need to be rude 😈 ❤
I wasn’t there for any of it but I’ll say one thing.. I worked for a woman who was disabled and took advantage of me as I worked as an unpaid caregiver. Housing was my pay. When I realized she was taking advantage of me I couldn’t move out so I had to continue allowing it for another 3 years until FINALLY I got out. Other workers of hers saw some of how she really was but I had it the worst. My home which she provided was rat infested, moldy, my old furnace caught fire, and she also tricked me into working an extra 9 hours a week to cover pet deposits.. and when I had paid them off completely she lied and said that was never the agreement. That I had to keep working the extra 9 hours. Anyways my point is.. sometimes people come off to certain people as complete angels. And to others as evil, disgusting, manipulative people. That is how bad people get away with things. They pick and choose who they abuse so that they will always have someone to back them up.
I'm so glad you got out of that situation. Thank you for telling us your tale here(for sharing). I really enjoyed reading that, you write so beautifully. That was heartbreaking, but so well written. There are so many instances out there and you hit the nail on the head with that closing sentence.
Macaulay was a true friend... Even when his managers and close friends told him not to get involved in this because this could stain his career he did it to defend his friend.
It’s rare these days.
True. Many kept away from him. Madonna admitted that they abandoned him. Makes Macaulay more special and a true friend
Huge respect to Macaulay. Always had MJ’s back.
If anyone doubts MJ then watch the new MJ thing on prime proffessionals debunk all the accusations to the point of it would be impossible lol
even through all the brutal molestation
He makes sense. We are still children at heart. The things that happen in childhood never leave us. I was traumatized at 8, I was sexually assaulted and a part of me is still and will forever be 8. Having similar experiences would bond them. Their fathers, pushy and abusive, having to become providers for their families as kids, a lot of kids in a small area due to minimal finances as kids.
It's so sad what happened to Michael. It breaks my heart that people are so evil and willing to break someone for money and fame. We lost a great man and some people are still trying to hurt him. It's very sad
This is definitely the playful side of MJ that most people don’t know about. Seeing him smile because he’s having fun, makes me smile. He got a bad rap that was undeserved. RIP MJ ❤️
2:27 Seeing Michael fall into the water and his genuine reaction makes my heart smile ❤
True. It shows deep joy he always gad with kids ..if he was a pretender he would have reacted with anger before Changing to the smile..but wow 🙂🙂
He looks so happy 😢
Jacko was a shit racist and abuser
I was shocked by that. I thought he had a wig but sure wasnt scared when he got wet
Love Macaulay's real and down to earth persona, and good for him for speaking so well of Michael and repeatedly standing up for him. It seems they had a beautiful and fun friendship that excluded anything perverse. Says a lot for Michael's true character ❤️
I always thought MJ was a weird guy until I learned his past and how he must have felt about his life. I think he understood more than anyone how stardom can ruin a child's life, and because your basically being set up for a life that you are groomed for it can create so many feelings of hatred and resentment.
I’m not a Jackson fan. Never bought a record. But I am kinda obsessed with researching the psychological ramifications of childhood trauma/neglect/abuse as well as the social fascination with celebrity along with the trauma sustained from growing up in the industry. Not to mention my all time favourite, religious cults and the dynamics involved with the combination of all of those. This case for me epitomises everything in one fascinating study case. I’ve read/watched everything put out in the public domain that I can get my hands on. Jackson grew up with a Jehovah’s Witness mother, with a tyrannical/abusive father, in a black family in 1960s Indiana, U.S. from a poor social- economic background (2 adults, 9 kids in a 2 bedroom house) and then was thrust in to world wide fame with no childhood and intense scrutiny. My belief is he suffered from major arrested development, I don’t believe he matured mentally beyond the age of about 11. I also suspect he may have been asexual/aromantic but felt the pressure to present himself in a more socially acceptable light romantically. I also think he had a rightfully deep seated mistrust of not just adults but also therapists. He needed intense therapy but couldn’t seek it the conventional way. His therapy was living vicariously through other children, by giving them the chance to have the kind of childhood he wished for himself, thereby saving the broken child within himself. It’s the gross minds of others who can’t fathom any reason for an adult to seek out a kinship with children other than sexual gratification. Add in to the mix those kids money-hungry parents who used their children to exploit and extort him. As a former abused child myself, I have developed an enduring interest in the subject as well as a sixth sense for creeps and paedos. Can’t explain it, but when I’m near one the alarm goes off. I’ve never been wrong thus far. The alarm has never gone off with Jackson. I think he was so very wronged. People did him dirty.
You’ll like this channel and next week’s video as well! 😉
Get real. He was loving and caring, but still sexually attracted to kids.
@@Chris-bs4qy nope
Doesn’t give a grown man the right to sleep in the bed with somebody’s else kid without the parents knowing😂 nobody gives a shit if he didn’t have a childhood, it’s fucking weird. No wonder he had all these allegations against him 😂
Thank you for sharing your personal view. Yes I also feel the same as you, and on top of that I think he didn’t have anyone telling him that people would think weird things if he hung around children. And he absolutely never imagined that they would go to such lengths as to accuse him of molestation. In his mind he didn’t understand people would see a (very dishonest selfish and harmful ) opportunity in the way he lived. And it’s not that he would be surrounded by kids all the time, most of the time he was busy and also surrounded by people. I spoke with his photographer and he told me how he was always swarmed by a bunch of people all the time. I guess people working for him.
Mac is a real one. Mike was wise to pick him as a friend. He was not bothered by the age difference because Mike didn't believe in those kinds of boundaries. Michael saw ANOTHER Child Star about to go through the worst of fame & became that friend that Michael wished he had when his fame rose with the Jackson 5 in 1969. Through Macaulay, Michael got to be a true blue friend, a mentor, & a way to express those repressed feelings lost in his own childhood. The price people pay to jump those economic classes takes a toll. Especially on kids. When you look at it objectively, it is the EXACT same reason he befriended Emmanuel Lewis who played Webster on TV. And both Emmanuel & Mac NEVER disrespected their friendships with Michael not even for all the money in the world. For all the turncoats Mike faced in his life, at least he had some real ones around him like Macaulay.
It was because of racism. The racists wanted MC to indict MJ. They never turned to ALL of MJ's childhood friends like Emmanuel Lewis for answers, because the whole thing was just racism. They needed a reason to defame MJ.
@@salut9658 Michael always said he wanted to emulate Jesus & walk in his path. The stuff he faced in life shows that his wish came true more than he could ever imagine. He truly lived up to his name "Michael"-"Who Is Like God".
Shit ugly Freak jacko without nose could only manipulate and abused children
Amen I never ever ever thought for one Second think he was chasing children for sex.I just thought he was wanting a real friend that wouldn't use him.And he loved to make kids happy that's it.R.I.P. And run with all your angels.
"He was not bothered by the age difference because Mike didn't believe in those kinds of boundaries." You can say that again.
I can't imagine knowing that 99.9% of people around you only like you because they want something from you. I can see why he just wanted to hang out with kids. When I was 25, my boyfriend bought me a model train for my birthday. My grandma was horrified that he would buy me a train because only children should have trains. Yet, I was so happy because I never had one as a child. I loved it! I don't understand why people are allowed to judge what makes someone "normal". I think the world owes him alot.
There is absolutely no denying that being an adult and wanting to hang around kids is weird. Does that mean I don't believe that he just wanted to live his childhood? No. But, it is still very weird and you cannot blame people for thinking it's unusual. Mixed feelings about this no matter how much Macaulay defends him.
Completely agree I don’t think MJ meant any harm to kids and I do believe the whole living his childhood thing and I don’t think he did anything wrong in particular but at the end of the day hanging out and sharing beds with children is strange and off putting
MJ had a life unlike anyone in the WORLD . No one went through the amount of abuse he did as a child plain and simple and I don't think he ever had any therapy . None of that by default makes him a ped0 . people are very complex and can have very complex issues, non famous people even, so just imagine the degree of absolute bs Michael went through?? No one will ever understand not you not me. So who are we to judge If it was TRULY about prosecuting Michael for a CRIME then why did literally every single accuser ask for millions of dollars ?? Look into Jordan Chandler's father he's a total POS and there is recording of him conspiringto take MJ down with the accusations and lo and behold ....he did...
The other accusers mom was a broke Hispanic single mother who asked for millions of dollars. But nooo they weren't motivated by money Sick greedy horrible people absolutely flock to rich kind hearted celebrities like flies on 💩. Just look at Britney Spears. Poor girl has not one single person who truly loves her not her father mother sister bother children or ex lovers. No one. They all robbed her blind and left her hung out to dry .
It's totally inappropriate
My take on it, is this: Age is more psychological than physical, when you truly think about it. I believe that all the trauma MJ experienced as a child, made him regress back to a child, psychologically, as he got older. So, even though it seems inappropriate to us, in his mind, he was a child and felt safer in the company of children. Age regression is all about mentally going back to a time when you felt happier and safer.
Michael had an interest in child stars, because he was one. He thought he could mentor them and help them in ways that no one could for him. I love that Macaulay still to this day cherishes the friendship and doesn't give a fuck what other people think. MJ was so misunderstood. He was amazing. So kind, so gentle.
Michael was robbed of his childhood by his father. You can see the happiness that Michael had with Mac yet he was judged by adults who never had their childhood taken away from them. I applaud you Mac for giving Michael such joy of finally being able to be himself out of the public eye. I just pray that in death Michael is not haunted by Joseph Jackson and his spirit can be free of all the torment that man has caused him.
100% people just used that opportunity of a wealthy adult being alone with kids as an excuse to try and take his money. I will never ever believe that he touched any kid in a bad way
Looks like someone strainin to do some explainin
@@hepworth1086 fun y how there were never any little girls around tho hmmmmm
Even in just these clips, Mj is holding Mac in power stances and is constantly touching Mac for no reason. He got off on touching little kids and worse.
Yup
I love being able to see Michael as just himself, a person. Makes me smile. Wish I could hang out with him. Seems like a beautiful dude.
Proud to love Michael Jackson and believe in him. Never touch never anyone. Only help the entire world. Michael is a gift of God when he born forever 👑💫🌻
Mac and Michael were literally the same. They had to sacrifice their childhoods in order to put food on the table for their families. Its no surprise that Mac stayed loyal to Michael for so long.
Still should be thanked, while so many used to be good friends to him turned back on him after his death
Doesn’t give a grown man the right to sleep in the bed with somebody’s else kid without the parents knowing😂 nobody gives a shit if he didn’t have a childhood, it’s fucking weird. No wonder he had all these allegations against him 😂
“Yeah Macaulay Culkin me and you both had our childhood taken away let’s sleep in the same bed together even tho I’m a grown man and I didn’t ask your parents 😢😉” ..it’s creepy😂
@@ozboz-roblox363 your brains are creepy
They didn't sleep on the same bed, he was on the floor or sat. It's tough to judge but the kids looked up to him, they want to be with him and he doesn't want to say no so he accepts it and the media makes it sound 10x worse...
Thank you Macaulay for always standing up for Michael. You had nothing to prove or lose. May Michael's soul continue to rest peacefully ❤
I seriously don't understand how seemingly intelligent women can be so stupid when it comes to Michael Jackson. If a 30+ year old man said, "can I sleep with your 10-year-old son?" Chances are you'd call the police. But for some strange reason, people like you check your brains at the door and say, "but...um...with Michael it was different! He didn't have a childhood!" You are literally too stupid to be typing on the internet...and that says a lot.
One of the few people who stood by his side always. A true, loyal friend who knows Michaels heart was pure ❤ Mac is a great person, totally owned his star on the Walk of Fame ❤
I am glad Mac had someone to relate too and someone who could help and guide him in situations micheal probably been through
He was so honest the whole time and nobody believed him
You have no clue if he telling the truth or not... People lie... Mac dont seem like the type of dude to play victim anyway even if he was.. I know tons of victims that refuse to acknowledge their abuse decades later... All I am saying is, we will never know the truth.
@@JonHop1 You like many want to believe the worst of Michael. It's very obvious
@@Morelife22 No, unlike you, I choose to be unbiased and face reality... The reality is, we will never know,, so it is pointless to speculate. It is all he-said, she-said. Fact's are, Michael was indeed an incredible strange and troubled person. You can believe whatever you want, but to speculate his guilt or innocence is absolutely pointless.
@@JonHop1 It's not a pointless endeavour when you take into account that all four accusers have been thoroughly debunked through the court system and the FBI. It's not enough to say 'We'll never know' when we know for certainty that those four accusers lied. James Safechuck claimed multiple times he was first abused in 1988 in the upstairs loft of Neverland train station. The train station was built and completed 6 years after he claimed it happened. He also said he was abused at Disney Land Paris before it opened in 1992 and also claimed he spent Thanksgiving at Neverland in 1988 when he was actually on the Australian leg of his Bad World Tour. Do those three facts not dismantle his entire abuse claim? There are countless more inaccuracies for the other three, but the point is he was innocent and we have the receipts. His innocence is well documented, and the evidence for his guilt is laughably non existent.
@@JonHop1 The Santa Barbara County Jury acquitted and exonerated him. All 14 counts. That is not speculation but a fact. The FBI spent up to a decade from 1993 investigating Michael and they found nothing. The media reported all this and then told anyone gullible enough that it was because of his fame that he was found innocent. And there's a surplus of gullibility especially in the West
I feel so sorry for michael he never had a childhood and people just wanted a piece of him and the world treated him so bad rest in peace legend 😢
He wasn’t the only one that didn’t have a childhood.
@Vlad Amir Al-Putin not all by himself, his brothers and his father helped him get there.
@@BlackGirlUnsolved what’s in you that doesn’t think compassion should be shown towards people? Are you perfection?
Yes rest in peace Pedophile.
He was molested and molested children. My aunt was friends with his sister and they were all JWs. I grew up a Jehovah Witness and molesting children is super common in that church and no one does anything about it. MJ was a broken individual that was obsessed with children and he had enough fame and power that no one will ever believe his victims.
As much as it hurts that a great artist and person like Michael Jackson is no more in this world I am sometimes contended to think that he isn't cause the world was way too cruel to him, we didn't deserve him.
Macaulay is and always be one of the most genuine people in the industry and that is why he is liked by most genuine kind hearted people. He has always maintained his story and it never changed. Michael did not mess with kids in any sick way. But the parents of some of this kids had only money in their minds. 😔
I met Macaulay Culkin one time. I was heavily pregnant and had taken my neighbor's son to a studio to work as a background actor for "King of Queens." I had gone outside to sit on some steps and make a phone call. Macaulay walked toward me, said "Hello", and I said "Hello". We smiled at each other and he walked up the steps while I went back to my phone. I knew exactly who he was, but I also wanted to treat him like a human. I hope he was pleasantly surprised. 😊
I'm 33 years old and I'm just like Michael Jackson in the sense that I enjoy spending time around children, more than I do with adults. Children give me a lot of joy to be honest and it's because of their purity. I see myself as I look at him. I truly do not believe he harmed children. I believe they gave him joy and a bit of peace in this crazy world.
I think the cops will investigate who you are
🚨🚨🚨🚨
I think you too might be a child molester just like Michael Jackson.
*hella sus like him*

The Michael with his friend Mac is such a pure, happy person. This is wonderful to be able to see ❤
man was too pure
E crianção tbm😂😂😂
MJ was just misunderstood. RIP King of Pop
Yep, catholic priests were also INNOCENT and misunderstood. LOL.
@@oldol12 I didn’t say that!!
@@stephen9302 Well, they have a lot in common. The church paid off accusers. MJ paid off accusers AND had later a trial for the SAME crime. The priests had most likely no real " evidence". MJ didn't have,too, ( only a couple of books with nude children, but okay). Catholic priests are not allowed to marry. MJ was not in a documented relationsship before the accusations. Therefore the conclusion: the priests are innocent.🤔😅
@@oldol12 stupid
It seems to me that Michael, who never had a real childhood to cherish, worried that the same would happen to Mac after all that fame, so he wanted to be there for him, to make sure that Mac would play games and have fun. It is so sad and cruel that people have the audacity to defame the angel that was Michael Jackson! Edit: I just finished watching the video, and Macaulay says the same thing... it is not difficult to figure that out when you have an iota of empathy. Michael did not want him to feel alone, because he knew what it was like to feel alone, even when surrounded by many.
If this man was anyone other than Michael Jackson everyone would think this is weird
It’s not because he’s Michael Jackson it’s because none of the accuser’s stories make sense/align with Michael’s whereabouts. Also, a lot of people can see their greedy motives. You’ve got to be pretty dense not to realize that these people were looking for a financial payout.
Yeah no sh*t Sherlock. MJ had a life unlike anyone in the WORLD . No one went through the amount of abuse he did as a child plain and simple and I don't think he ever had any therapy . None of that by default makes him a ped0 . people are very complex and can have very complex issues, non famous people even, so just imagine the degree of absolute bs Michael went through?? No one will ever understand not you not me. So who are we to judge If it was TRULY about prosecuting Michael for a CRIME then why did literally every single accuser ask for millions of dollars ?? Look into Jordan Chandler's father he's a total POS and there is recording of him conspiringto take MJ down with the accusations and lo and behold ....he did...
That scream when he went off the diving board had me in tears! Long live the king of pop!
Mac stood by Michael through the best of times, the worst of times, and still has his back today. Something not many people can say. Thank you for your loyalty to your friend The King of Pop, Mac ❤
Mac is a real friend. Love him for standing always on Michael’s side.❤️🔥
It's heartbreaking to see a grown ass man behave like a child because his childhood was completely lost. It's jarring for many people to also see that same adult have a relationship with a child because it's so foreign for us to conceive that. But when you think about it, we all grew up with our friends, classmates, family, yet Michael never had that opportunity. R.I.P. Michael.
I kinda understand MJ's draw to hanging with kids. They really are much more fun (duh) but for me its more that they aren't as bothered with all the stresses of being an adult and are so much better with being in the moment. Babysitting is like getting a vacation from being an adult. Being an Auntie is my biggest joy, and I promise we don't have to be blood for me to claim you as my nibbling! ❤
A lot of respect for Macaulay Culkin. Michael Jackson was truly a good human being. He was a child at heart. But the corrupt system of just suing anybody for money(especially if they are famous) , caused him to spiral out. 'Every adult wanted something or the other from him'. Michael Jackson was always and will always remain a hero to me. Irrespective of what the media portrays him as.
Not a single person would give this defense you gave to any random guy on the street who acted as Michael did. Especially toward your children. Ridiculous.
Respect to Macaulay Culkin & Aaron Carter for speaking up for Michael Jackson.
Don't forget Brett Barnes.
@@ChokeslamToHell Very True.
Didn't Sean Lennon also have nice things to say?
Don’t forget Emmanuel Lewis, Brett Barnes & Cory Feldman.🤞🏼
Aaron carter said he smoked weed with Michael
Macaulay and Michael resonated so well because they were both superstars at a young age, stealing their childhood. Michael was mentally a big kid. So sweet. He will be missed.
Thank you for this channel.
Truly two kindred spirits. I think that out of everyone Michael Jackson knew, Macaulay Culkin was his only real friend; and he never turned on him once. Even now, he fiercely defends MJ. Great video from the detail.
Also Brett Barnes
Just letting everyone know. If you have felt alone in this world because you feel you don't relate to others, because of your growing up, your trauma or your personal issues, there is a friend out there for everyone. Don't let the pain destroy you. Depression sucks and to some of us, many can't understand unless it affects them or the bubble surrounding them. You are unique in your own way. Peace to all.
I hear ya
❤️❤️
Os adultos só gostam de dinheiro e blzdeviam ter empatia com o próximo 😢😢
imagine being prank called by MJ and you never even knew!! amazing.
Micheal never hurt any kid. He did no wrong
its so sad when people genuinely think MJ is a bad guy. knowing his home life growing up, and just seeing how he is around kids, you can tell he just wants to goof around and make their days better. its so sad how he went out and how people continued to portray him after death when he cant even defend himself. RIP MJ, one of the greatest celebrities weve ever had the pleasure of experiencing. it is the sweetest thing that he sought refuge for other childhood stars. too good for our evil world
This was comforting. Corey Feldman also said Michael never did anything inappropriate to him either and that he doesn’t think he was a pedophile.
It’s so fun seeing people like Michal just being normal and having fun, it’s so heartwarming
No one here seems to think it’s weird that a grown man calls a child to hang out. I do.
It’s not just weird. It’s creepy. And disturbing. And these people are condoning and normalizing it because it makes them feel good. Michael Jackson needed mental help and accountability and Macaulay Culkin needed parents that were going to protect their child from industry perverts. Plain and simple. This relationship was very ungodly
Same here.
I don’t. As a kid I loved having decent interactions with adults. And as an adult I’m so passionate about children. Listening to them, playing with them and making sure they have a good time invigorates me. It’s kinda looking after the future generations. The fact that there are sickos out there shouldn’t invalidate purity of relationships, in my opinion. Also, women don’t get heat for loving children but men do. Yet there are female pedos out there too. But lastly, Michael mentioned the reason why children. He could leave his guard down, have fun and relax. It’s terrible he couldn’t have many normal adult relationships. But if anything he didn’t have a childhood himself and kids are the best company for free happiness. Let’s not forget: he was acquitted in the court of law, where there’s due diligence. He’s only guilty in the trial by mob and media. Which seems to matter more these days and is the downfall of society.
I do, too. But I accept MJ's explanation that he needed to relive a real childhood.
I don’t believe for a second there was anything dark going on, I think Michael was just living out his childhood and most adults can not be trusted to have as a friend as it goes so Michael was in better company, hope he is at peace now ❤
ubelievably naive

Macaulay is a loyal and honest friend, something that unfortunately I have not seen very often, even with “so-called” friends.
I am glad Macaulay Caulkin spoke truthfully. I believe in my heart Michael Jackson IS innocent of all these malicious and malevolent accusations. I emphasized “is” because He is to me alive in the new earth he was meant to be. With a very heavy heart, I have to say, Michael was never meant to be on this earth…with people always wanting to get something from him. All he wanted was to share his talents and show his love to children. He was robbed of his own childhood so to me, being around children was the safest place he could ever be. He was his true, free-spirited, crazy child-like self who didn’t have to be manipulated. Michael blessed us with his gifts, his music and his humanity. He was a beautiful soul and he is better off in heaven… This judgmental, opportunistic and cruel world he lived in was never a place for his kind and loving heart ❤️ and gosh, how I miss him terribly as one of THE Greatest artists who ever lived! ❤
It’s crazy how the mainstream Media don’t do their investigative journalism on the accusers. Absolute disgrace what they did to Michael
Because they’re all working together to make him look bad. Micheal was rebelling against people wanting to control him and when you do that in Hollywood or the music industry…they make the public go against you by putting out false information. It’s still going on now, look what happened with dave chappelle, Andrew tate and many others. Never believe what the media/news pushes. Do your own research and always think for yourself
I love to see these beautiful Michael and Mac moments. I love their bond ❤
"Do you want to talk about your dead friend?" - Macaulay Culkin. A legend, a friend, a human.
Basically these two are the OG Diddy and Bieber.
It seems like mj was the one who was trying to save these kids if we being honest
@@QuestionEverything412 I question that.
Thank you. Finally some truth in these MJ comments.
Everyone who was actual friends with him said they exact same thing about Michael, its everyone else that was giving there uneducated opinion on a situation they had no first hand knowledge about. Out of the literal thousands of kids that went to his rancher only two kids said he did something to them, clearly it was motivated by money.
Yes! Thank you! Well stated.
...and the house keeper?
@@brianpeck4035 convicted for defamation and was ordered to pay MJ millions which she still owes to this day
Chris tucker stood by Michael too
Doesn’t give a grown man the right to sleep in the bed with somebody’s else kid without the parents knowing😂 nobody gives a shit if he didn’t have a childhood, it’s fucking weird. No wonder he had all these allegations against him 😂
So proud of Mac. He never wavered, never buckled under pressure from everyone to spill the t on Michael. He said Michael NEVER did anything inappropriate to him. He still stands by his friend.
Michael and Macaulay friendship was so beautiful tho. God bless Mac for defending his friend ♥
the media was such horrible for doing & amplifying this
I've always loved MJ and I've always understood the "strange" friendship, even during his darkest moments and allegations. But until you've lived under scrutiny, abuse, or terror, and have had your childhood ruined, you don't see it. That level of compassion doesn't just exist, it is created; it manifests from experience.
Beautifully said.
That was some pro level editing right there. Better than 90% of what I've seen on major network documentaries. You're not just making videos, you're making art.
Wow thanks so much
@@thedetail. You're welcome.
Yes...pro-pedophilia art. Bravo.
@@capone70Yeah you were there? You know everything? No so shut it
@@capone70It's really sad that people are so quickly to assume that Michael was a pedophile just because he liked to hang out with kids. There are a lot of evil predatory pedophiles out there that hide everything from the public, but Michael had nothing to be ashamed of because he wasn't abusing those kids, that's why he never hide the fact that he enjoyed being around kids. If he truly was a pedophile he could have done all of that in secret.
Thanks for sharing
Michael may just genuinely love the children of the world. Which is rare, Macaulay Culkin may have just seen him like the big brother little brother friendship. Weird but most likely, genuine. The other kids now adults who accused him of stuff...are basically nobodies, and still nobody today
One of Michael’s few loyal friends…
Rest in Peace Michael, you had nothing to prove ❤️
Nothing. 💜
It speaks more about those parents IMO. Who would accept money if that really happened. You'd also want justice right? That's what rung true in my heart and soul about this case. The paps loved to torcher Michael because they saw how it bothered him.
@@carolinecoy3164 each allegation was an attempt to exploit Michael financially because none of the accusers filed lawsuits to begin with. The first accusation Michael was ready to fight in court but was ill advised and the accusers refused to take it further once they got what they were after anyway which was money which itself speaks volumes. Sadly though this opened up the flood gates for the rest of the vultures to attempt the same including his own staff who themselves were caught stealing his property. The media at no point reported on any of the inconsistencies in each case which were in the thousands because that would not sell. The media wanted him guilty as it filled their filthy pockets so done all they could to keep the circus open and the money flooding in.
Lol that slide is at the Scandia near where I live. I remember when they first got it they were advertising about it. I don’t remember the ticket price to slide down but I remember my niece saying she went on it multiple times because the lady that was taking tickets wasn’t paying attention and people were just getting on it over and over.
I really don’t know much about Michael Jackson, do I think it’s weird he hung out with kids, a tad. But from these videos he seemed really sweet and genuine, and truly just wanted to give the kids a good life - also relive stuff he didn’t get to do.
Do you know any other 40 year old men that hang out with children they're not related to?
They were what each other needed at the time. I have nothing but pure love and respect to both of them.
MJ was acquitted. Thank you Mac for standing up for your friend. RIP MJ, your 5.2 billion fans have your back. ❤👑
