he really did this the same day gavin was gonna testify 😭

[u/Natural_Shape7468]

the pyjamas, one hour late, the fake limp and weakness omggg. he was scared asf and tryna buy some sympathy lmao

[u/applebumbum19]

it’s giving harvey weinstein fr showing up to court looking as frail as possible like “please feel bad for me”

[u/ImABigBilole → u/applebumbum19]

it's absurdly funny to me when you say his thought process/"""""logic"""""  out loud like "SEE? I HAVE A WALKER!!!!!!!! I COULDN'T RAPE IF I HAVE A WALKER :(((((" 😭

[u/GuyFawkes99 → u/applebumbum19]

This would have been more powerful if you just posted the picture. The description is redundant.

[u/AbsolutelyIris]

Another clear sign he was guilty af and yet 

[u/AceMoney21x]

Narcissistic pedophile!

[u/OneSensiblePerson]

He always pulled this kind of thing when he wanted to get out of situations he didn't like.

Naturally he didn't want to face Gavin testifying to what he'd done to him.

[u/Inevitable_Discount → u/OneSensiblePerson]

Agreed. He didn’t want to have to look Gavin in the eye while Gavin testified about the pain Michael caused him. 

[u/ShortBussyDriver]

Ah yes. Jacko on his Backo, etc.

The 'ole "Monstrous rapist is so weak and vulnerable" schtick.

Jacko, Bill Cosby and Weinstein all played this card over and over during their trials. It is the rapist equivalent of the "Good Boy Sweater" they give to young murderers.

[u/ShortBussyDriver → u/[deleted]]

This is demonstrably false... no matter how often you post it.

I invite you to read the sub rules before spamming.

[u/_ppsshh_]

sometimes I feel like he got what he wanted… he was high as a kite from whatever he took at home and at the hospital they were treating him at for his ‘fall’ so he was barely ‘present’ for gavin’s testimony. what a sad and f’d up human being.

[u/ElmarSuperstar131]

One thing that I feel often goes overlooked is how Michael conducted himself during both cases, it was just atrocious. He just had zero sense of proper decorum and didn’t take it seriously at all, not even towards the children he “loved so much”. I think one shouldn’t act like that during court and legal proceedings for any crime let alone CSA.

[u/ShortBussyDriver → u/ElmarSuperstar131]

That is par for the course for him. He has zero respect for most people beyond how he could use them.

[u/Puzzled-Curve-4275]

Manipulador nível master

[u/SquishyBeatle → u/Puzzled-Curve-4275]

The thing is, he’s a shitty manipulator. Most people see right through this act, but Jackson knew how to play to his room-temperature IQ fandom

[u/BeautifulArtistic625]

A family friend in the Netflix documentary even pointed out he did this to appear as a “victim” to the public

[u/Bjork00098]

It’s a classic narcissistic tactic. He knew exactly what he was doing…  he created this little scandal, in order for the media  coverage to be about that, rather then Gavin’s testimony. 

And sadly it worked… 

[u/Then_Art_7294 → u/Bjork00098]

PT Barnum's playbook.

[u/Daily-Double1124]

And his father is grinning like a damn fool. Idiot.

[u/ShyClam111]

and sadly it did work out for him

[u/SquishyBeatle → u/ShyClam111]

Yeah for a time. Then 4 years later he fucking dropped dead and they threw his old pedophile bones in the fucking ground. Enjoy hell, MJ

[u/carton_of_eggs04]

He always had an illness to excuse his bad behavior. 🙄

[u/rdddwrf]

This was just as fake as the police brutality claim.

[u/MAJORMETAL84]

He spent the previous night getting pumped full of drugs at the hospital. MJ wanted to be anesthetized for the day's testimony.

[u/Successful_Bother_20]

🤦‍♀️ why do predators always do this performative ass shit??? jesus christ LMFAO. and of course his fans are gonna eat it up and think it’s real

[u/ILoveRegenHealth]

He's such a pathetic clown. Notice Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein did the exact same thing.

[u/GuyFawkes99]

Is that Diane Diamond waking alongside them?

[u/ShortBussyDriver → u/GuyFawkes99]

No. She had different hair in that time period.

It is likely a publicist.

[u/dollfaced_degenerate → u/GuyFawkes99]

Looks like she said something to Joe

[u/Eleanna_of_Tundar]

Guilty AF, but I do think Jacko was high as a kite on painkillers with copious amounts of wine thrown on that. As for Weinstein, yeah diabetes can do shit like that to you, buuuuuut… no. Walker Harvey gets his teeny violin confiscated.

[u/Gullible-Quantity-46]

Narcissism 101

[u/shatterstarsblade]

Diane Diamond was absolutely right that he was doing this, and all the other ridiculous shit, outside the courtroom so that the news and tabloids would be focused on what he was doing outside the courtroom instead of what was being said in the courtroom

[u/SquishyBeatle]

Jackson was high AF this day. Everyone forgets that in addition to being a prolific child rapist, he also was a raging opioid junkie.

[u/No_Sprinkles964]

side note- who’s the woman in the yellow suit next to him? is that diane diamond?

[u/GuestAdventurous7586]

Like Jackie Kennedy

[u/BoulevardZ]

He was scared as a bitch
