Everyone's Tiny Malice Can Kill Uranus Superstars: Read Who Killed Michael Jackson

More than ten years ago, on June 26, in Hualien, at 9 am the day after tomorrow, I just woke up at my girlfriend's rental house when I received a phone call from home. When I received a call from my mother in my girlfriend's room, I was actually a little nervous. As a result, my mother just said hello a little and told me that Mike Jackson was dead. I just replied "oh" and hung up the phone.

Clam? Michael Jackson is dead, what does that mean? As a die-hard Michael fan, rumors about his death would come out from time to time. I thought, maybe it's the same rumor again. But if it was just a rumor like that, would it be so big that it was on the news to let my mother know, and then she called me specifically to tell me about it?

In short, I quickly turned on the computer and waited for confirmation. As a result, major media on the Internet were reporting the news of Michael's death. It turned out to be true. I gave a soft "haha" and told my girlfriend that Michael was dead.

At the time, it probably felt so unreal that it didn't have time to grieve. Knowing that Michael's I'll be there song came from YouTube, the memory of Michael's company for nearly 20 years came to mind. Only then did the tears fall.

Michael's death and social trends

Since I am a long-distance girlfriend who came to Hualien specially, I tried my best not to let my sadness show. But even when going out to dinner with his girlfriend and taking a walk on the road, the TV in every store was showing the news of Michael's death.

At that time, Michael's news was broadcast for a whole month, and Taiwanese society even set off a wave of Beat It dance flash mob. Michael Jackson can be said to have captured every corner of society.

In this atmosphere, Michael's related products, whether CD or DVD, and even books are selling well. It was under this circumstance that a publisher published a translation book titled "Who Killed Michael Jackson".

The book, originally titled "Michael Jackson Conspiracy", is a record of Michael's child molestation lawsuits from 2003 to 2005. In other words, the Chinese title of this book is also the title of the book that took advantage of the trend.

But to a certain extent, this lawsuit also had a direct and indirect impact on Michael's final years, so it makes sense to use "who killed Michael Jackson".

In 2003, all parties maliciously attacked Michael again

The events described in the book Who Killed Michael Jackson took place in 2003. At that time, Michael cooperated with the TV station to shoot a documentary "Living with Michael Jackson", hoping to let the public know the real side of Michael by getting close to Michael's private life, and know that he is not a weirdo.

However, host Martin Bashir caused an uproar at the end of the show by insinuating that Michael was suspected of being a pedophile by entertaining children at his home in Neverland, after talking, laughing, and flattering with Michael throughout the episode.

Then, continuing the controversy, the family of Avizzo, a boy who had been entertained at Neverland, accused Michael of mistreatment of his child. And California prosecutor Thomas Sneddon also took advantage of the situation to launch an investigation again and filed ten charges against Michael, including sexual assault, obstruction of liberty, and intimidation.

Michael had encountered a similar case in 1993. At that time, Thomas Sneddon was the investigator. During the period, he had various humiliating behaviors towards Michael. The residence was destroyed during the search, and Michael was even forced to take off his pants. Taking pictures of private parts is extremely humiliating. At that time, Michael was on tour and had various commercial contracts waiting to be fulfilled. Under the advice of his consultants, Michael could choose to leave the time-consuming legal battle and settle with the Chandler family. However, the settlement came at a price for Michael, who was believed by many to have committed the crime, and Michael's popularity began to decline.

Therefore, after the incident in 2003, Michael did not repeat the same mistakes and decided to confront the Aviezzo family and Thomas Sneddon head-on, in this legal battle that took nearly two years.

Ugly MJ to sell money: a media bullying without trial

The war, however, initially worked against MJ in every way. At that time, the relationship between MJ and the record company was not good, so the record company not only did not support MJ, but even made many small actions that seemed malicious to the fans. And in the MJ camp, there are also a lot of people who want to take advantage of the opportunity to show off their achievements and take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie. Even the team of lawyers originally selected by MJ was suspected of taking the opportunity to take the lead. These are places that many outsiders pay little attention to, but look distressing in the eyes of core fans.

Not to mention the public opinion in the outside world, Michael is the star who has been bullied the most by the media and public opinion for a long time. Back in the age when the Internet was not so popular and fake news and fake information were not so rampant, Michael had already been attacked and directed by all kinds of rumors. So when Michael faced the legal battle in 2003, he was not only facing the mad dog prosecutors and the Avizzo family who accused him, but also facing various media that preconceived and judged before trial. The media's ridicule and teasing continued like this for a year or two, causing great harm to Michael's body and mind.

In fact, most of the media, who are sentenced before trial, do not care much about the actual development of the case. Many people just want to find out the points that are ineffective against Michael (such as the one-sided testimony of the prosecution and the accuser), and enlarge and insinuate them. , used to attack Michael in exchange for media layout and eye-catching effects. Aphrodite, author of Who Killed Michael Jackson Jones (Aphrodite Jones) actually had a vision for Michael at the beginning, but with the court session, he found that the case was not as described by the mainstream media, and that Michael was not a weirdo or a bad criminal. On the contrary, the various unbearable behaviors of the Avizzo family were brought out one by one.

However, these are rarely revealed in the media layout. So in the end, Aphrodite. Jones recorded the lawsuit in great detail and wrote him into a book "Who Killed Michael Jackson", which recorded the lawsuit that hurt MJ deeply. In fact, this book, I think the general public will not have too deep interest in reading. Because there are too many people involved in this case, there are many witnesses in court, and the details are very detailed, so if people from the illegal industry and fans are not easy to read the content of this book.

A legal battle with no winner kills the artist's soul

And this is the biggest dilemma facing Michael. People don't want to be real, they just want to see him make a fool of himself for a little entertainment. On June 13, 2005, the whole case ended, and the judge finally acquitted all ten charges against Michael, and fans outside the court also released ten doves one by one, symbolizing freedom and victory. The media on the side seemed a little resentful about the result. After a few days, the news no longer took up the page, as if this incident had never happened.

In contrast to the excitement of the fans and the resentment of the media, Michael walked out of the court without a trace of expression. Because this is a lawsuit that no one wins. Michael has been physically and mentally exhausted from the legal torture of the past two years. He, who was full of love and trust in people, no longer trusts people easily. And after this wave of depletion in his acting career, he is in an even more disadvantageous position. I believe his later economic pressure is not unrelated to this lawsuit.

On June 25, 2009, Michael passed away because of the mistake of the doctor's medicine after the curtain call concert of farewell to the music world. Who killed Michael Jackson? Is that the doctor? Is the media long-term bloodthirsty? Is it the prosecutor's abuse? Is it the institutional violence of the censorship system? Is it the audience who likes gossip media? Is it the entertainment industry that exploits entertainers? Is America's pathological paranoia about children's rights? Is racism at work? Is it the hypocrisy of political and business celebrities?

Maybe all of these answers are correct. And these knives that can kill people without blood, in MJ's case, in "Who Killed Michael Jackson? "In this book, it can be seen clearly.
