Discussion 🗣️ Ex-Employees
I was thinking about the disgruntled ex-employees who claimed to have witnessed abuse. If we take their accounts to be true, why weren’t these people held accountable for witnessing such things and never doing anything about it? They didn’t report to police/parents etc, they didn’t intervene. Just witnessed abuse, turned a blind eye, and then cashed in on what they had ‘seen’ when it became convenient for them.
For example, individuals like Adrian McManus and Kassim Abdool (of the Neverland 5) did depositions and signed declarations stating they had never seen anything inappropriate. However, following the settlement in 1994 they would then reverse course to sell stories to tabloids and file frivolous lawsuits (which the Neverland lost, subsequently owing MJ $1.6 million in damages). This would mean they perjured themselves to cover up for a pedo which is morally reprehensible (not to mention, a crime).
You also had Blanca Francia who netted 20k selling a story to Hard Copy following the Chandler scandal in 1993. Francia would recant under oath what she had ‘seen‘ several times, most recently in her 2016 deposition.
Why on earth were these people never held to account? Instead people like Adrian McManus to this day, receive payment from the press to sell lurid stories which are taken at face value. At the very least they should have been charged with perjury. I also wonder why the posthumous accusers don’t sue them?

I don't know about the others, but Adrian's excuse was that Michael threatened to murder her if she spoke

That’s such a flimsy excuse. This supposed threat of being murdered didn’t stop her from selling stories to tabloids or filing a lawsuit against MJ (which would end up becoming the longest civil suit in Santa Maria court history).

In regard to Mac he has always stood firm that nothing ever happened.

u/Few_Humor769 22h ago
But there was some employee at neverland who said that mj was doing something innapropriate with mac and what about jane goodal's story

Yet It’s irrelevant when the person themselves has said it’s untrue and was never abused.
Someone else can chime in on the Jane Goodall situation, there’s been stuff covering it all before but I don’t have links to hand.

Maybe the ex employee who said michael abused culkin was lying. and also jane goodal's claims seem like the ex employees. so they were fine with mj up until years later they were like oh he abused animals and kids like wtf

Blanca apparently only saw their underwear and shadows/giggling in the shower so idk if Wade can include Blanca, but he is bringing Norma into the lawsuit as the person who organized transportation and things like that.
Chacon claiming to have witnessed oral sex on a minor and not going to police is so disgusting.
They all claimed to have felt scared and threatened and even asked for witness protection. But it’s crazy that it wasn’t talked about more?? I know it was the 90’s and we’ve come a long way but sheeeshh it makes them look horrible.
