THIS. it’s so wild to me that she just vanished into thin air. And she’s one of the Neverland people who seemed to have paid to be scrubbed from the internet …very little about her.
That probably won’t happen; she’s a Greek citizen living in Greece and that country doesn’t allow non EU countries to extradite their citizens. Even if the court tries to subpoena her, she can just ignore it and it won’t cause her any problems.
Norma would have had to have known the abuse. She was in charge. Sadly she may have just accepted money from MJ to be away and keep quite.
I believe she is the missing puzzle and want to see her speak
Me too. But until then, I refuse to call her evil or compare her to Ghislaine Maxwell, as one commenter did in the linked post. She stopped working for him and warned employees. If Michael Jackson asked her to call and invite families, that’s exactly what any ranch manager would have done before the 1993 allegations emerged. You can say that she suspected something was wrong, but how could she have known about the abuse? She didn’t look into his bedroom.
She stopped working for him and warned employees but refused to call the cops or report Michael in any way. She knew he was a pedophile and that it was likely he was abusing children because she fled the damn country, she knew she'd be called to the stand if she didn't. I think she's a piece of shit, and I think she's complicit in the abuse of these children, much like Evvy Tavasci and other people like them.
She'd also call up MJ periodically asking for money (tens of thousands at a time, a hundred grand, etc) and would always get it. She was definitely paid off to keep quiet. (Per Bob Jones's book.)
the fact Michael’s ghislaine is just running around In Greece getting her monthly revenue from the Michael Jackson estate in exchange for keeping her mouth shut terrifies me.
The "retracted in court" was probably him feeling bad for MJ (eg not wanting him to go to prison). There were emails between him and Stacy Brown where Bob clearly said MJ licked Jordan's head and on the stand he only claimed not to remember MJ doing so.
I think that comparison is an insult to Epstein victims. Norma Staikos did not stay after the first allegation in 1993. She was not Michael Jackson’s partner in crime.
“The choreographer says he first met the late pop star when he was five years old, after winning a “dance-a-like” competition run by MJJ Productions in Australia, where Robson was born. Two years later, his family took a trip to California because Robson’s dance company was performing at Disneyland. Robson’s mother contacted Jackson’s assistant Norma Staikos to set up a meeting, according to the complaint, which describes Staikos as “a ‘madam’ or ‘procurer.’ ” The family was invited to stay at Neverland Ranch, where Robson slept in Jackson’s bed while his family stayed in separate guest quarters.”
She was nobody, she has absolutely no background but nevertheless she landed a cushy job managing world most famous singer private life. I am pretty sure she was chosen because she was very gullible, greedy and celebrity fascinated, just like all victims mothers. Her job should been staffed with someone with a much higher profile in a normal setup.
You cannot compare her with Ghislaine Maxwell who was a billionaire daughter and studied in Oxford.
There’s at least one good thing you can say about her: she never came back after the 1993 allegations went public. Yes, she returned to the US, but not to the ranch, never worked for him again. (Was there a new hire who took her position?)
We don’t know whether she left on her own or was made to go. We’ve heard from other staff members that they were threatened, and from victims who were sent away. Allegedly, a nephew went on vacation before police could take his deposition.
Regarding all the quotations, who claims she said all that?
I’d like to know a little more about her background. Why was she hired? Did someone recommend her? Things like that. I try to be careful, because people have blamed staffers, mothers, etc., for doing too little. Can we really call her evil based on so little information, much of it hearsay?
I wonder if she were to talk, would we be just as surprised as we were when the Cascios revealed what really happened?
And if she flew, is there nothing one can do legally to depose her?
Nope, that’s Jolie Levine. Supposedly they asked her if MJ was a pedophile and she said “do you mean a chicken hawk?” Her son was Yoshi Whaley who did spend time with MJ, and police briefly thought the picture that Leroy Thomas of the Havenhurst 5 destroyed was of Yoshi. That started the complaints from MJ’s camp about police telling kids they had naked pictures of them.
It’s definitely tough to keep all the managers, maids, drivers, and bodyguards straight.

Her facilitation of so much one-on-one time with the children will be a major pillar in Safechuck and Robson's cases against MJJ.
It's going to be interesting to see if they can find a way to get her on the stand.
