4.. Record sales were not good, and he was at odds with Sony Records
In June 2002, Michael Jackson, who was visiting the UK, visited a group called "Terrorist Killer" in London. He gave a speech at the ball and announced a clean break with Sony Records, where he had worked for 20 years. The reason is that his latest album "Invincible" has sold only 5 million copies worldwide in the eight months since its release, which is far lower than the record company's expected sales.
5. Excessive plastic surgery. His facial features and hair are all fake
Everyone knows that his eyes, mouth, nose and skin have been modified, so there are often rumors that Michael’s facial features have changed. Collapse. Not only that, there is even news that Michael’s hair is fake. It is said that since the incident of Michael sexually assaulting children, Michael has been under stress every day, and his hair has become thinner and thinner due to mental stress. As a result, there are not many hairs falling out. Michael has to wear a wig every day.
Defendant
I feel tired after being deceived
1. I never imagined that someone would betray me to this extent
Michael - Jackson's lawyer has formally written to the British Broadcasting Corporation to complain about the suggestion to documentary host Martin that he has a penchant for pedophilia. Recently, he took another counterattack and launched a self-filmed documentary to clarify that he had not committed any criminal acts. It turned out that while filming "Michael Jackson: The Great Chase", Michael also hired a private photographer to capture the entire process. He said: "There will be additional footage in the film to confirm that Martin praised me as a good father at that time. "Jackson said in a statement recently that British journalist Martin betrayed his trust and that he feels betrayed more than ever. I welcome Martin into my life and my family's, and I hope he can." Tell the audience the truth. Now, I feel that I was deceived by him. I told him everything and was sincere, but he responded to me with this horrible and unfair program."
For some newspapers to expose this. In his confession when the boy Jordan Chandler accused him of sexual assault ten years ago, Michael defended himself and said: "I never imagined that someone would betray me to this extent; I reiterate that I have never harmed any child. Someone wrote me as a child." Child molester, I feel disgusted."
2. Just excited
On November 21, 2002, Michael Jackson issued a statement regarding his holding his young son dangling from the balcony. apologized for the incident. Jackson said in a statement that he made a terrible mistake. But Jackson did not provide a rational explanation for his actions in his statement. Jackson said he was in an emotional state and never intended to put his children in danger.
3. The company did it
Jackson defended himself in court, saying that it was the concert organizer MarcelAvram, not him, who canceled the concert, and that he was even in the bathroom Have been practicing dance in front of the mirror.
It was MarcelAvram Company that first called him to cancel the concert. However, the lawyer hired by MarcelAvram Company stated that the company had never made such a call to Jackson. Jackson said that he remembered the call very clearly.
Jackson said: "I remember I was a little disappointed when I got the call, because I had been looking forward to hosting these two concerts, and I was very excited about it. I said to my friends that I hope There will be as many fans as possible to support me, because I want to hit the Guinness World Record.”
4. Weak promotion
Jackson’s producer Jenkins said: "With the lack of promotional activities, Jackson had to sit in despair and was reluctant to even shoot a music video. How could the record sell well?" It is reported that Sony only shot a music video for one of the singles in the album, and the other "Butterfly" ended without any problems. Jackson believes that weak follow-up promotions are the main reason for poor sales. At the same time, Jackson found two other non-Sony musicians, Al Sharpton and Johnnie Cochran, to collaborate, deliberately embarrassing Sony.
5. Vacancy. (The matter has reached this point and there is no explanation. I just hope that the "most fragile nose in the world" will not collapse.)
Witness
We can't help but love you
Ex-wife Debbie Rowe: Although Jackson was deviant, he did not want to go too far outside the scope of secular morality. I believe some people are meant to eventually become parents, and Michael is just one of them. I hate everyone who says he is not a father and is not qualified to be a father. He only sleeps with his son.
Fans: Fans held "We Can't Not Love You" posters to support Jackson. People allege that Sony deliberately made "Invincible" not sell well, and there was a huge conspiracy behind it, because Jackson had borrowed 200 million US dollars from Sony and used the copyright of the Beatles songs in his hands as collateral. If Jackson Unable to repay, Sony could swallow up the copyright to Beatles songs and a music company jointly owned by Jackson and Sony. Sony is now using Jackson's passing as an excuse, which has aroused dissatisfaction among fans. Fans decided to protest at Sony's New York headquarters
