In 1993, before Oprah did her ‘big interview‘ with Michael, she interviewed many of his friends and people who had worked with him. Someone has finally posted these interview segments youtube. I present them here for your perusal.
They are divided into 6 parts. The first part discusses how the interview came to fruition, the making of a promo commercial for the interview, and Oprah speaks with Liz Taylor, Michael’s lifelong and very close friend.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4g8×6Pe-h4I&feature=channel
In Part 2, Oprah interviews Brooke Shields. She gives a great explanation as to why people criticize and judge Michael so much. It’s amazing how Brooke and Liz both mention all of the garbage that was written about Michael. And consider that this was BEFORE the allegations! It was likely worse than many of us thought even before the worst of it started!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rj6RpA05e60&feature=channel
In Part 3, supermodel Iman is interviewed about her role in MJ’s “Remember The Time” video. She highlights Michael’s wonderful sense of humor and really emphasizes Michael’s humanitarian work. I wish MORE media and celebrities had spoken out about this when Michael was alive, since his humanitarian endeavors were SO incredible.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD-bIXI9jTE&feature=channel
In Part 4, Dick Clark, Smokey Robinson, Gladys Knight, and Susanne DePasse are interveiwed. Unsurprisingly, they all unanimously agreed that MJ didn’t have a childhood.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xr8-nKbpBhU&feature=channel
In Part 5, Oprah interviews a young girl, probably around 10 years old, and her parents. She met Michael while shooting a commercial, and became close friends with him. Ryan White’s mom is interviewed in this segment, as well. During the clip, Oprah showed the beds that are installed in the walls of MJ’s movie theater, and she said this is a sure sign that he cares about children.
This is a very important segment because it shows a young female friend who spent time at Neverland, and her parents fully approved of the relationship! Remember the media was all about Michael only spending his time with young BOYS. That was not true, of course. Tom Mesereau addressed the media’s lies about this in his June 17, 2007 interview on the Jay Leno show.

In Part 6, Oprah shows how MJ has been a “sex symbol” to many of his female fans around the world. The funniest part is the white woman who said that when she was a young girl, she wished that she was black so that she could marry Michael. Keep in mind, in the early 1970’s interracial marriage wasn’t as accepted as it is now, so that’s probably why she felt that way. Today, this would not be quite such an issue.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YydKpl7sfTE&feature=channel
Here is another interview with Oprah from September 2009. She explains that the reason she didn’t go to MJ’s memorial was that she was not friends with him. In light of what Mesereau said in Aphrodite Jones’ documentary about celebrities praising MJ after his death, but who refused to support him during his trial, Oprah’s admission seems noble. Although I personally feel that she still should have issued a public statement, since her show garnered the highest ratings ever due to his appearance on her show.

Oprah also says that she always had “compassion” for MJ throughout the years, but I rather disagree. Watch her 2005 interview with Lisa Marie Presley, and see how much “compassion” she shows.
Also, she condescendingly said after Michael died that “we’ll never know the truth” in regards to the allegations, which is tantamount to saying that he’s guilty. But then again, what do we expect from Oprah? This is the same woman who thought it was OK to ask Michael if he was a virgin. In fact, she asked Lisa Marie if their marriage was consummated.
I wonder how Oprah would feel if she were asked on a nationally televised interview if and she Stedman Graham have had sex? Hmmm?

THANK YOU SEVEN for sharing these!!!!!!!!! I totally agree with you about O, I really, REALLY, DISLIKE HER, she’s a total fake, and she showed her true colors many times, not just with MJ-related interviews…
July 22nd, 2010 4:16 am
Well, it’s nice of Oprah to interview these people. I didn’t like her comment to ‘never know the truth” maybe she wasn’t interested in knowing the facts….or didn’t know the facts. At least she didn’t speculate or make judgements without knowing the truth! But the interview sure helped people who want to know the truth!
July 22nd, 2010 4:37 am
Don’t forget her own words during the trial “I wouldn’t let my children with him, he’s so weird!”
July 22nd, 2010 5:41 am
Thank you Seven and David, this is just precious
About Oprah and her attitude of – as you very rightly put it – condescendence… I personally did not like it a tiny bit. “We’ll never know the truth…”. Pfft. And where exactly was Oprah’s compassion for Michael? She surely kept it well hidden from the world, to put it nicely…..
July 22nd, 2010 7:17 am
Thank you so much for doing this research i have posted a comment about oprah on
whataboutmj
more people need to hear about this and about how the celebrities let michael down, he was probably too decent to comment about this in his lifetime.
i think that oprah should re-think her views on michael and that we should contact her directly via email. she does seem to have fixed and unfounded views about him. i dont think she took the time to research him, she said she was just worried about her career. but i think she had views, doubts, fundemental incorrect thoughts and they need to be tested and she needs to be enlightened.
i am actually hold myself back because i do think her view point is deep seated, but i say no more.
as you wrote a brilliant piece would you consider contacting her?
July 22nd, 2010 7:24 am
Uuuf..can not see the the videos in my country,thanks anyway,Seven.
July 22nd, 2010 8:02 am
Thanks for letting me know, Seven….i never saw these videos before. Why is the world too blind as to NOT see the innocence of a heart…a child’s heart that Michael Jackson always talked about???
Well, I didn’t know Oprah could say something like that…I mean if you ask her about her relation with Stedman Graham….she would be offended for sure!!! And asking MJ about his virginity was a piece of trash…And how could she say we’ll “never know the truth”??? That was not expected! >:( But I just wanna leave her….
This makes me sad that a person as innocent and sweet as Michael was scrutinized like that! Horrible world we live in!
July 22nd, 2010 8:22 am
Thanks so much for this info! Can’t wait to watch the vids after work!
July 22nd, 2010 11:52 am
Arabian,
I’ve already contacted her. As you say, her views are set in stone, regardless the facts.
July 22nd, 2010 12:40 pm
You know what the sad part is? If Oprah would just come out and say that she knows MJ was completely innocent and simply a victim of extortion…it would change a lot of twisted opinions about MJ. I truly believe it would, because she does have a LOT of influence over public opinion. Love her or hate her, that simple truth can’t be denied. But with her comment that we’ll “never know the truth,” she has planted doubt in the minds of anyone who was clueless before, and confirmed the doubt in those who already were unsure about Michael’s innocence. And that’s just truly sad to me.
One doesn’t have to be an MJ fan to see the truth. But many people just don’t care about the truth. They eat the garbage that is fed to them by the media and in doing so help to perpetuate the lies that will continue to taint Michael’s memory and his legacy. He doesn’t deserve that. And shame on Oprah for consuming the same tabloid rubbish she herself is a victim of with regard to her personal life.
July 22nd, 2010 12:43 pm
I was a Oprah fan many moons ago..I stoped being a fan about 6 years ago. As years went by she seemed only concern about ratings and does not seemed too concern about the essence of her guests..Only guests that she can empathize with. I think a true spiritual being is someone who does not have what I call “selective empathy.” Someone who sees all things of the human spirit-who ever they maybe. Michael was compassionate towards all people. She does not like Michael Jackson. I think she admires his genius, but who doesn’t. That aspect of MJ cannot be denied. I think Oprah is extremely competitive. A great trait..it is what helped her become the successful- billionaire that she is. But I think along with the competitive nature–she bores jealousy and envy–in massive amount-especially towards MJ-someone who is more loved and admired than she is all over the world, someone who’s genius is equal to his beautiful heart,someone she does not full understand and never will-because in ordr to full understand someone you would have to be able to see someone’s heart- no matter how hard she has tried. She is not too-perceptive. I don’t think she can see past her own ego. I think Oprah knows the truth-I believe deep inside she knows that Michael is not a pedophile. I am sure she has researched the trial and FBI files-not because she feels a connection with MJ-but just out of curiosity-after all she seems astute in the sense that she is smart-most astute people like to be informed. I think she says things like “We will Never Know the Truth” to make HER look better. And if you notice, she says WE–that is a pretty bold statement that she includes the whole human race in that quote. Iam very good at reading people. I have a very high intuition. I have had this gift since I was a child. Sometimes it has been a curse-because it has inable me to morbid truths about people whom I once thought so highly of. For Oprah to believe in Michael’s innocence-publicly, she will lose a vast portion of her audiance, she will not have that one “flaw” of Michael’s-she can use against him- so she can shine a little brighter(so she thinks), and she will have to admit she was wrong..and Oprah rarely does that. When she does..she would have to get caught.. And as far as interviewing people who MJ knew, that is all business. I just saw an interview with Kenny Ortega. Kenny Ortega has a geniune love and respect for MJ. You hear in his voice, you feel it from his aura. As I was watching Oprah-she is motionless. To her, and like many people like her Michael Jackson is a business. Trust and believe if Michael Jackson wasn’t MICHAEL JACKSON the brand–she would have nothing to do with anybody he was associated with..Then to further indicate her true intentions regarding MJ–she is purposely asking leading questions to Lisa Marie and her mother–to make them uncomfortable. Oprah is about Oprah. Period. She is a very intelligent woman..she reads and researches..she knows the truth..and after all that is said and done, and if she truly believes all the lies..than she has other hidden issues..that has not surfaced yet. I too have been molested, and have 2 pedophiles in my own family. So for people to say it is because she has been molested..and that is the reason why she feels these things about MJ-doesn’t hold water. RIP in PEACE, KING OF MY HEART..I will love Michael..Forever..

Hi Seven:
You know, I always thought Oprah was classy and an enlightened individual. But just from the manner she treated Michael, my view totally changed. She, of all people, knows how the media works. That is why I wrote to her back in May. I wrote a polite letter requesting her to invite Aphrodite, Tom Mesereau and Charles Thomson – or any one of them on her program. I recommended your site, Seven, as one of the best to expose her to the truth (and also the lies told) about Michael.
She was on trial in the 1990’s in Texas regarding her anti-beef stance and was found not guilty. She recently settled the defamation claim against her by the headmistress of the girls’ school in South Africa. So you have similar circumstances to Michael, a not guilty verdict and a settlement, and yet, she cannot find it in her heart to even LOOK at Michael’s case. Seven, I even asked her if she did not wish to invite those guests on her show, to at least do a program on false allegations and how it can destroy someone’s reputation and/or life. As horrible as child molestation is, I believe being falsely accused is just as evil. I mean, she’ll devote a show to makeovers or Justin Bieber and that’s all well and good, but you would think helping to restore the good name and reputation to one of the greatest humanitarians who ever lived would be somewhere on her radar. Sorry for rambling, but the absolute injustice that was done to Michael bothers me no end. I thought Oprah might have one of her famous “Ah Ha” moments concerning Michael; she was fortunate enough to look into his eyes and speak to him. How was it possible that she really did not “see” him?
July 22nd, 2010 1:21 pm
Hi Seven,
thank you for the informations. Oprah Winfrey´s show in 1993 was her most watched show ever. After this she had some
other shows regarding MJ, with LMP and her mom and other people where she and her guests talked in a very bad manner of Michael ! But the show after his death shocked me really, all these allegations without making any investigations. To us it´s clear that MJ is innocent, we did our homework. Why can´t she even do so as a journalist ? You said her views are set in stone, so she is not a yota better than Nancy Grace or Diane Dimond and they are really awful !
July 22nd, 2010 2:08 pm
This was great, Seven, Thank you for posting and sharing.
Can I just say that LMP bugs the CRAP out of me! I attempted to watch the interview of her and Oprah and I didn’t even get through a minute and I turned it off. Lisa always talks bad about him, she is always so negative as they all sit there laughing with the audience at what a stupid mistake she mad. She forgot to mention that she followed him around Europe during his History tour and tried to win him back until he told her his “heart was closed to her”.
Sorry, just had to blow off some steam.
I’ve also contacted Oprah back when she did her tribute to Michael. i told her I did not like how the main topic of her show seemed to be about how light his skin was. I thought she should take a look back at her first interview with him and listen to his explanation as to why, but I guess she still doesn’t get it. I didn’t write that in the email, but I just stated my comments on how disappointing it was to watch, She never did reply.
Anyways, thanks again.
July 22nd, 2010 3:28 pm
Oprah 101: Oprah has shown to too many that her career/status matters and the truth about MJ does NOT. Evidenty, in her book, the two cannot coexist.
Beneath it all, envy is apparent — when seen as competition between two individuals of the same race — Michael’s achievements and worldwide status eclipse hers countless times over!
July 22nd, 2010 4:19 pm
Hi seven,i personally i don’t think oprah will ever change her view about mj i feel she’s already made up her mind since 1993,people should just leave her alone and not attarched too much importance to her opinion.
July 22nd, 2010 4:51 pm
Hi Seven, Thank you for this post and the links to the videos. I’ve already started downloading them just encase they were to be deleted. Especially, Part 5 the interview with the little girl and her family along with Mrs. White.
I had already posted my views in regards to Oprah on the Extortion Pt 2 article, when a fellow poster Nessie had mentioned reaching out to Oprah. So, I won’t repost my long comment again. To sum up what I had expressed earlier. Oprah is just like other journalists (media) believing Michael was guilty, despite the clear documented proof of court transcripts, FBI, 12 jurors, in-depth research that all clearly shows and proves that Michael was/is innocent of those false allegations. As I mentioned before, Oprah and her production team research everything else, but she won’t research the truth towards Michael.
Now, if Oprah did at one point go back and read the court transcripts and FBI files that were released. She clearly brushes it aside and continues along the same grain as every other journalist, who read and twisted everything like the FBI documents to their liking for ratings and misleading the public. Still baffles me how the FBI investigated Michael for all those years and they found nothing criminal on Michael’s part. The FBI word’s of NOTHING just screaming across the documents, but the Nancy Graces, Diane Dimonds, Bashirs, Sneddons and the like in this world just don’t want to acknowledge the plain simple fact that they are all wrong even though the truth is staring them right in there face.
@Lisa
I agree with you when you said if Oprah were publicly believe in Michael’s innocence, she would lose a lot of her audience. That is what concerns Oprah the most and she’s scared of having to publicly admit that she was and still is wrong.
July 22nd, 2010 5:48 pm
All I can say is that I am relieved that the Queen of Talkshows is gonna stop her ‘work’ in 2011.
She didn’t consider herself a friend so she didn’t attend the funeral…?
I swear – I don’t get the hype about Fatprah. Sorry for the nickname, I can’t help it. And thats me being nice.
All she does is talk. Talk talk talk. I’ve never seen someone with such a big ego as hers.
Living off other people’s weaknesess and shame.
In Michaels case, all the ‘investigation’ stuff she does on that show and ‘uncovering’ the truth, all the truth thats’ out there about the Chandlers and Arvizo’s, about Sony, about all that, and all she can do is invite the Presley’s over to chat on her couch and say: was it consummated?? Woman, are you ill??? Because he said he was a gentlemen and didn’t talk about sex – an issue you’d just die to dive into right…
God. I really really dislike her.
I’m just happy she’s gonna call it quits soon… Finally.
July 22nd, 2010 6:11 pm
Thanking you for sharing these, i watched her interview with MJ all she did was embarrass him with her questions, and then when she was talking about the interview when he died she talked mostly about her self an how she felt… Shes a joke can’t stand her, shes all for what people will say if she says what she really tinks………
ALL SHOW
July 22nd, 2010 6:38 pm
The Oprah’s stance in relation to Michael, he showed how much she is so like those in the first place is the money and he is able to sell or to omit in favor of an innocent. I feel that she too jealous of Michael because he was on a plateau as an artist, businessman and human being bigger than yours. Michael is a GENIUS and Oprah is just one more successful person. For me it has lost credibility and I do not watch your program.
July 22nd, 2010 7:13 pm
Hello Seven
Keep up the good work you are doing an amazing job. I don’t think Oprah should be given so much attention as far as Michael is concerned because Michael belongs to the people who truly loved him and stood by his side…remember the woman who released doves after each verdict of Not guilty in the second trial. Anyway, as much as I am surprised that she didn’t say anything and NO I DON’T THINK SHE CAME AROUND JUST BECAUSE SHE AIRED THE 1993 INTERVIEW again. In my estimation she basically did it to shut people up because I don’t believe she was expecting such a public display of emotion. What I really want is for people to put their energies in getting Sneddon, Bashir, Dimond and both accusers plus go after Janet Arviso. I ask myself where is God in all this. Why was the second kid allowed to live (after all it was because of Michael) and does he feel any remorse. Does he know that their are three kids without a father. Where is Janet Arviso and where is Tom Sneddon. Why are the tabloids still selling?
THERE IS COMFORT IN KNOWING THAT THE UNIVERSE WILL BALANCE EVERYTHING AND ANYONE WHO IS GUILTY IN THE EYES OF GOD WILL ANSWER FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE.
BY THE WAY OPRAH IS ON HER WAY OUT PEOPLE.
July 22nd, 2010 9:26 pm
You know I already had reasons not to like fake Brooke Sheilds, but when she started doing Rolling Stone interviews after MJ’s MURDER, saying he was asexual ect…I was even more disgusted by her! She never really understood him…like many of his family.
July 22nd, 2010 9:38 pm
She can go to hell as far as i am conserned. She is full of her self and doesn’t know sh..t. She is an ARROGANT b. who thinks is better than Michael. Well “saint” Orca k.h.a
July 23rd, 2010 12:10 am
Thanks for these videos, Seven! Everyone Oprah interviewed was sooo nice telling her what their memory of Michael was when meeting him or being friends with him. Lisa’s interview is so UGH because she’s being sooo mean!!
July 23rd, 2010 1:36 am
…the guests are probably interesting, but I have NO TIME FOR MRS.O.
She is a MJ hypocrite; has failed to show any humility for her insinuations of you know what.
As far as I concerned, anything she does does, with the audacity to make like she now has some sort of interest in MJ, is only for her ratings & does not compensate for her lack of humilty.
It she ever has Tom Mes. or Aphrodite Jones on as soooo many fans requested, I’ll consider watching.
pheu to her…
July 23rd, 2010 2:42 am
Well, she might not wanna change her mind about Michael. That is so absurd..she has the ability to open people’s minds concerning some issues. I didn’t know she called Michael weird…Did she just go to Neverland and have that interview only for television ratings???? That is so boring! I didn’t expect it from Oprah! I am inclined to think that it was all for money too :’(
I just pray: Dear God, when everything is so clear as crystal and truth is shoved in the corner….I humbly request you to maintain what you said about truth. I believe that truth will prevail. Please give people wisdom and an open mind. Amen!
July 23rd, 2010 5:12 am
@seven maybe we can start an open campaign to change her views, not to publically bash her, i dont think anyone responds well to that, but through reasoned argument. you write really well and you have good supporters and contributors, surely we can find a way. to break down the inconceptions that oprah has?
a campaign to bring her into the fold. I would support that, its education. what are your views seven? i think it would be a lot of work, time and effort, but isnt that always the way things are, it is a slow burn, nothing changes over night.
the thing is if you look at her, you can read her views,but it is not something i feel comfortable discussing publically.
have you seen william wageners campaign, i have emailed him and he is responsive.
we need to ensure that are arguments are always sound and backed with data that is not fantasy, hearsay or invention,or some loony theory. always intelligent and logically. i have the feeling that your the one do this from the work i have seen you do here on this site.
i note that you say that you have written her, i suppose the response was minimal. not so shocking i think. but dialogue has to be started like with anything, when you can earn their respect and they realise that you are not crazy then the work can start. the thing is how you bridge the gap of mistrust. its strange danger isnt it. i look forward to your response.
also emails, so easy to delete, so easy to ignore, a written certified delievered letter – oh not sure.
July 23rd, 2010 7:58 am
another thing that i dont understand and please do not think that i am bashing, but why isnt the family a mobilising force?
i have heard janet on YT talking about her lack of recent relationship with her brother, that she did not see the children because she did not see michael and to see the children she would have to see michael. i have heard her talk and seen when she didnt say something about intervention, and when she wasnt able to cope, i have heard oprahs views on intervention, speaking just when janet was going to say something interesting.
but i am not sure what they were saying about vindication, they could have used their voices then or before, i have heard jermaine talk about the FBI files. i think they should stand up and seek vindication.
they all have websites and tweet, but were is the vindication, where on janets site does she have a page on the lies and debunk the rubbish, where does she support sites like this or MJtruthnow (i think the site is called.) okay the sites are owned by the record company,but she has a twitter account she can purchase her own site, she could support blog sites, she could support william wagener, she could have put oprah in her place.
Sorry – i dont mean to be critical i just do not understand, and i dont understand why you would be filmed by TMZ whilst visiting bubbles … feeding into the tabloids. i dont know what the game plan is, and whether they are working towards Delio’s game plan – but all it does it ruin mikes reputation. we need a turn around on this.
I think in taj’s new blog he mentions the huntington post – bravo, but were is the full discussion, the victim needs to be defended and not just by the justice seekers (fans and non fans) but forthrightly by the family. i ask what are they frightened of?
July 23rd, 2010 11:31 am
I too thought more of Oprah in the past, but since I work during the day and do not catch her show, I was not aware until his death just how ugly she was about him after the 1993 charges. I have since watched youtube videos of her laughing about him with Diane Sawyer (where she was making fun of his marriage to LMP after she herself had the nerve to ask him if he was a virgin), then there was the Paul McCartney segment where they laughed about him and what is so sad is that I was always a huge fan of Paul McCartney’s too and all of these years all you ever heard that was Michael Jackson stole the Beatles catalogue out from under Paul McCartney and McCartney let that kind of lay around out there until I watched him on the David Letterman show and he said that he wasn’t upset that MJ bought the catalogue — but that he was upset that MJ wouldn’t raise the royalty rate that was paid out to him and that’s where they got crossways. He went on to say that when he asked MJ about it — MJ would tell him that it was just business. It is important to note on that subject that the same catalogue owned Little Richard’s songs and MJ gave those songs back to Little Richard. Then came the LMP and PP interview where LMP said some awful things and eluded to the fact that MJ could be “normal” when he wanted to and Oprah was eating that up. Oprah’s so-called tribute to MJ consisted of re-airing segments from the 1993 interview and then her talking about how she felt about it. I was extremely disappointed in that as well. Then on Oprah’s website when I was searching comments about the disappointing tribute she did and was further disgusted by one of the contributor’s to her show that talks about sex toys, etc. saying that she had read that one of the accusers had come out after his death and said it was really true that MJ had molested him. WHAT????? I had to read it again just to be sure that someone who had risen to the level of being able to be a part of the Oprah machine was that stupid. I emailed the show about it, but of course — they don’t care! Oprah’s sidekick, Gayle, was on talking about him right after he died and of course had to bring up the molestation crap too! So, you can see Oprah’s viewpoint on it. I have to wonder what level of sincerity she had when she had the Jackson brothers on her show after viewing This is It and talking about how inspiring MJ was.
However, the biggest disgusting shock was the ladies of The View who on the anniversary of MJ’s death last month had as their guest host none other than Diane Dimond who was allowed to plug her book on the show. Because of all of these so-called journalists and entertainment individuals who mistreated him, I have no desire to watch any of their shows any longer because it’s all trash. Whoopi was apparently on vacation the 2 times Dimond was guest hosting, but to me — they might as well have lined up Katherine and the 3 kids on the air and spit in their faces. Dimond went on to report about the Jackson brothers working in grocery stores and garages, etc. and basically putting them down too claiming “her sources” were telling her these things. Sherri Shepherd then stated that MJ’s spiritual advisor said that MJ’s voice was very low and not how he sounded in interviews (like that is something new and different that we didn’t already know) and Dimond then had to tell the story of how during the trial she had an encounter with Jackson whereby he said something in a sinister voice to her and then pretended to slash his throat.
July 23rd, 2010 11:55 am
The thing is that his family doesn’t care about his vindication…They only care about milking from this thing while is still fresh. I am afraid that nothing can be done in order to vindicate MJ. You can not cope with ignorance. There is no one in the US that has the power and the will to talk pro MJ. They wont do it.
July 23rd, 2010 2:53 pm
@gotod you may be right, but historically the world has stood up and fought injustice, it does take one person to start, but the rest will follow it takes time. but the way we argue is important, and it must be done repeatedly.
take slavery, take sexism, take rasism all the ism’s surely the truth can be fought for.
yes maybe people do not want to hear especially with all the other things in the world to worry about but it is still an injustice.
i do worry about the family, randy seems the most pro justice.
why dont we do a campaign, an email campaign a twitter and retweet campaign referring to this site to all the major outlets. i dont know i am not an ideas person. but to get respect we have to show respect even if we feel passionately, nothing is achieved through aggression.
July 23rd, 2010 3:11 pm
more randam thoughts
how about and this is only a suggestion, and i am probably wrong…
what about joining/ following oprah on your twitter etc and sending her and others eg the sun, mj facts of the day.
i dont know if seven wants to spearhead this. so facts about his trial, facts about his good deeds, etc facts about his charity work, maybe seven can have a blog page so we can cut and paste the fact into our tweets etc.
it should be short and snappy but accurate. positive press for mike, seeking a vindication and the restoration of his good name.
what do you think?
the drip effect – we have had it for 45 years from the media which included oprah.
i want to repeat – always pleasant and with respect.
July 23rd, 2010 4:39 pm
Hi Arabian,
I’m afraid I’m already spearheading too many things as it is. Your idea has merit though and I’d encourage anyone who wants to take on the task to do so!
As for Oprah, I have sent her several emails via her show website and have never gotten a single response. One request was to do a show covering Michael’s lifetime of humanitarian work. I offered data, links, text, articles, a list of people she might interview, etc.
Not a peep back from her.
I think she’s not interested in Michael Jackson or anything about him except when it can boost her ratings, I’m sorry to say – much like the rest of the media.
July 23rd, 2010 6:30 pm
Seven,
see the link below what I read just now on the site MJJCommunity, talking about Michael’s innocence.

@Lisa D. I have not had time to view the videos here yet (and only read up to your comment so far) but I’ve watched Oprah’s shows (for decades it seems), and have formed my opinion of her from those.
With regard to Mike, this is my take.
Oprah is about being #1.
Everything she does is to that end.
Unfortunately, she perceived Michael Jackson as being or wanting to also be #1.
Good deeds and benevolence have become her passion but are possibly, somewhat incidental to her ambition.
What she believes about Michael Jackson (deeply influenced by her horrendous childhood trauma), to her mind is wise, reasonable and ultimately, advantageous.
She regards herself as extremely professional: unfortunately these days this is subjective.

I never see Oprah normally but i saw a bit on the internet recently – she looks about 30 years younger than she used to – Just HOW MUCH plastic surgery has she had??!!! Looks like tons! how WEIRD someone of her age looks after SO MUCH surgery to make herself look younger!! What a FREAK Oprah is!! There must be something VERY wrong with her to feel the need to have SO MUCH plastic surgery, just why is she trying to deny her own racial heritage that she needs to have it changed by surgery? She obviously can’t accept growing older. and WHAT is she trying to hide? I bet she’s taking lots of painkillers too, in fact I think she’s a coke adddict, i don’t have any evidence for that but that doesn’t matter, i think it so therefore it must be true.
‘Coki Opi’ is a freak and is trying to make herself look like a little girl! I don’t know the facts about that defamation case and i don’t need to – she is OBVIOUSLY guilty if she settled, and more obviously so because she has had so much plastic surgery, thats proof she must have done something wrong.
Get the point Opi? – “Good, lets dance”.

Hello Seven
The more I get to know about Michael the more upsets me that the world is the way it is. I have many questions that I can’t seem to find an answer for. I watched a lot of stuff on youtube. Does anyone know if Tom Sneddon is still working for the D.A office? Is he still being taken seriously after making a fool of himself bringing the trial forward. By the way who paid for all this to happen? Was it really the taxpayers of California. If so is California still struggling trying to get itself out of debt. If the FBI found nothing on Michael, can the state of california go after Sneddon and the Arvisos?
Where is Janet Arviso and Gavin, which I know is going by another name….which everyone seems to have found out. Sometimes I feel like I am going around in circles. I heard that Martin Bashir got a promotion. I saw that Diane Dimond was on the View, I can’t believe they asked her to be on the show after she is known for lying and not checking her facts.
Do you all remember how Michael’s attorney said that they asked his friends if they would testify and a lot of them said NO. Larry King wanted to testify but they would not let him and Chris tucker testified but his life long friends did not come forward because THEY DID NOT WANT TO GET INVOLVED. Oprah chose not to go to the funeral because I am sure she was aware that his so called friends were in the audiance making an appearance yet when Michael badly needed them they did not show up. I wonder if Brooke and Lisa Marie were asked to testify?
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME, GIVE ME SOME ANSWERS TO MY QUESTIONS.
PLEASE I WOULD REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

Oprah doesn’t like Michael Jackson. Then I don’t like Oprah. Simple.

Oprah is a jealous ugly new-age mammy. She always had an unhealthy obsession with Michael and she always invited Janet Jackson onto her show, mainly to get dirt on Michael from her. It’s no surprise she’s good friends with Diane Sawyer (another VICIOUS MJ hater) who constantly grilled other celebrities about him in horrifying interviews(Britney Spears, Whitney Houston, Lisa Marie Presley, and more) Oprah is losing her magnetism. People began to see through her fake ass “tribute” episode, her past 1993 interview, her comments before and after his death. She invited LMP and PP, Jon Stewart, Chris Rock, Diane Sawyer, Paul McCartney, and others to mock, denigrate and humiliate him. Then she plays all nice after Michael’s death (PHONY ASS HYPOCRITE)
The hypOcrite questions Celine Dion on MJ

She question Whitney about Michael too

She interviewed Janet in 1997 and asked some erroneous questions about Michael

OBSESSED MUCH????
HypOcritprah will forever be a phony fake opportunist. She used Michael for ratings after his death for her crumbling shallow talk show. She’s losing more ratings by the day.
FUNNY ENOUGH, Kitty Kelley’s book “Oprah: A Biography” (now a BEST SELLER) cites Michael Jackson as one of Oprah’s FAVORITE celebrities??? LOL
If that’s the case, she’s even FAKER than I thought. She defamed Michael in public just to protect her image & maintain the loyalty of her audience. Michael was a diamond, Oprah is cubic zirconia. Fake and fraudulent.

@ Rose
Here are answers to your questions:
1. Tom Sneddon retired a few years ago. If he had run for DA again, I’m sure he would have lost!
2. The taxpayers paid for the witch hunt trial of 2005. Which is why if Sneddon had run again he would have lost! So it was wise of him to just retire!
3. Unfortunately, I don’t think that any legal retribution can come to Sneddon or the Arvizos, because the statute of limitations has run out. If Sneddon wasn’t willing to prosecute the Arvizos, then it wasn’t going to happen! Any sane prosecutor would have properly investigated them and realized that they were lying, and wouldn’t have prosecuted MJ in the first place. But Sneddon maliciously prosecuted MJ, so there wasn’t any way he was going to charge the Arvizos with lying.
4. The Arvizos live in Georgia. Gavin and Star are attending a Georgia Military College, and they are doing very well academically. It’s depressing to see that while MJ’s life was ruined with that trial, their lives have gone very well. Below is a copy of the Dean’s List for the Fall 2009 semester, and do a search of “Arvizo” and you’ll find their names.

5. As for Bashir, actually he got a demotion! I’m sure his contract wasn’t renewed at ABC, but as a sign of professional courtesy, they let him find another job first, and then announced it as if he voluntarily left. That’s the way the industry is! Going from Nightline to anchoring the afternoon news is a big demotion!
6. Mesereau said that before the trial, they asked some celebrities to publicly support MJ, but they all refused. Yet after he died, they were all over the place claiming how much they loved him. He didn’t name names, so we don’t know exactly who he was talking about.

Thank You David
I had read that Gavin Arviso had changed his name to Anton and that he was attending the Military College. I also read that Sneddon had retired and when asked about the death of Michael he was being so called respectful and didn’t comment much.
I have to admit that I am glad that Bashir got a demotion as you call it.
David, thank you again for taking the time.
GOD BLESS YOU
