Sis we dont need to watch it to know their claims. We know it ALL cause unlike YOU we have studied the lawsuit oops. And we know how many times they lied and changed their stories depending on who they wanna dupe. Lol

[emilierose]

.. Wish michael wasn’t so giving to all those lying creeps, America didn’t deserve him.

I'm not watching the film for what y'all make Michael Jackson look like a criminal I doing a tribute to Michael Jackson this weekend

[jacksand]

The film is just 4 hours of these two talking.. no facts or evidence is in it. What is the point of watching it?

[thalia]

These claims have been public for *6 YEARS* and there are summaries of the film online. They don't need to watch it, *THEY KNOW WHAT'S BEING SAID IN IT!* The family and fans have already debunked this mockumentary. You are the ones who should do your research

[pamyvilla]

"How can you complain about something you have not seen?" Such an insensitive question! The synopsis already shows that it's about their brother being accused of child molestation! Me, as an MJ fan, do not want to see it, what more the family? It's gruelling! It's like watching your loved one being tortured right in front of you and there's nothing you can do to stop it

[ulfemanuel]

RIP Michael. Everyone who has done any kind of research knows you are innocent

[hunnybunnie]

I don’t think she thought about the question she just asked because it sounded really unintelligent

[bredforslavery]

Family and fans are united agains lies. I find it so beautiful !! Michael would be proud .

[lew]

Excellent answer Jackie!..And he cut her off too...Nope! I know my brother.

[toptaemin]

Yes Jackie tell the truth. We are with you

[teecte]

I absolutely love and respect Jackie for how he defended Michael. With a straight. “NO”. The king is forever innocent, and he he isn’t here to defend himself but I’m glad his brothers do their best to defend him. Rest easy king, your for eternity my angel. 😞🥀❤️

And how can you give an opinion & sympathize with Wade & James when you haven't even looked into their cases & backgrounds behind all of this.
Smh, what a joke.

[HARDMANALIVE]

Jackie is the man! ALWAYS lookin out for little bro!

[WamuyuGatheru]

Gayle you have joined a decades old heartless smear for reasons that are not clear. MJ legacy of genius and heart will live forever

[SinisterBscuits]

None of them need to watch it (and it's not like they've been given the opportunity) to know it's all a steaming pile of horseshit. Michael was & is innocent and the truth will soon enough catch up with them. I really hope, if any good can come from this disgusting situation, that it can be a gateway to address the bigger problem at hand; the media. The day of reckoning is near and I'm looking forward to it.

[Vampybattie]

Not seeing it either its garabge in the time of internet we can do research.

[Cedrclovesutube]

Amen they don't know him only the people who know him know him, his family.

[rebirth]

This is sad what they are doing and sick and disgraceful this is why he died which is sad
