Janet Jackson Reveals: “Michael Pressured Me to Help Him Pretend
What Has Janet Jackson Said About Michael Jackson’s? ‘The Guy Was After Money’
Janet addressed the allegations in Amazon Prime’s 2016 documentary Unmasked: “Now if this really went on, do you think a father would accept money?”
She concluded: “It’s crazy–the guy was after money–that is all he wanted.”
Ahead of the premiere, Jackson other family members spoke with CBS’s Gayle King February 27 about the gut-wrenching sexual abuse allegations.
“We know our brother,” Marlon Jackson said during the February interview. “Michael wouldn’t do anything like that.”
“To wait after the passing of Michael, 10 years later, to come out and state this,” he continued. “They’re still in court, suing the estate for hundreds of millions of dollars.”
“I think there is a fear as well to put more energy to it and more eyeballs to it,” Taj said. “That’s why my aunt Janet hasn’t said anything because she doesn’t want to make it any bigger.”
Before Jackson’s death in 2009, he stood by his innocence and denied all allegations.
“There have been many disgusting statements made recently concerning allegations of improper conduct on my part,” Jackson said in 1993 statement. “These statements about me are totally false, as I have maintained from the very beginning. I am hoping for a speedy end to this horrifying experience to which I have been subjected.”
Pat 1 of the documentary is currently available through HBO Go and HBO Now. Part 2 of the four-hour long documentary will air Monday 8 p.m. ET on HBO.
