I don't think so. Mostly because actual victims of pedos like Feldman and caulkin still insist that MJ was on the up and up. Additionally as far as I know, he's only been thought of as a pedo because of accusations against him by a kid whose family has a habit of suing and accusing wealthy people of abusing their kids.

There's always people who defend sex offenders by saying "Oh, but they didn't molest me", which is kind of weird if you think about it.

I don't know if he did or not obviously, but there are a lot of accusers, not just the one.

Feldman would put you on blast, he has no reason to defend Michael. look at his other interviews like with the bitch Barbara Walters. even though he wouldn't name them, he has mentioned people connected sexual assault and other heinous crimes. I doubt MJ molested anyone, he was sick due to his own shitty childhood, dude was barely in public he was so strange. his brain was basically trying to relive a childhood through the other kids, not fuck them up more.

my opinion at least, nothing will ever be concrete

I'm not saying he's lying, he wasn't molested by Michael, that doesn't mean that the other victims must be lying. Paedophiles have preferences like anyone else and even within families, a person might assault one of their children while not touching the others.

it just doesn't add up to me. but we'll never know the truth so none of it really matters now.
