Michael Jackson continues to pique the public’s interest. It’s being said on what would have been his 61st birthday that Michael Jackson was confronted by his buddy Marlon Brando about the child abuse claims against him, and the singer broke down in tears.
In 1994, while authorities were investigating charges of child abuse against Jackson, the screen legend was his close friend.
Marlon revealed a chat he had with Michael at his Neverland Ranch during his interview with prosecutors during Michael’s 1994 trial.
Prosecutors had heard that the Godfather’s star and the King of Pop had a “special relationship.” Brando was supposedly teaching Jackson how to dance, and Jackson was reportedly teaching Brando how to act. In the transcript, Brando, who died in 2004, describes an alleged conversation with Jackson during which they allegedly discussed the singer’s s-xuality and his tumultuous relationship with his father, Joe Jackson.
“I asked him if he was a virgin, and he just laughed and giggled,” Marlon claimed, adding that Michael seemed uncomfortable using the “f-word” or discussing his s-xual life openly.
Brando said that he proceeded to question Jackson about the child abuse charges leveled against him, causing the singer to cry and reveal that he despised his father.
“With this mode of behavior that’s been going on, I think it’s pretty reasonable to conclude that he may have had something to do with kids,” Brando said.
Brando did point out, though, that Jackson never came out and stated he was homosexual or acknowledged to having s-x with the boys. Instead, he continued to cry and was so rattled by the dialogue.
Brando stated, “My impression, was that he didn’t want to answer because he was frightened to answer me.”
Marlon Brando’s son Miko was working for Michael Jackson at the time of the conversation, prompting Marlon to speak with Michael.
When Brandon Ogborn, one of the show’s creator-producers, got a transcript of a sworn statement and verified its authenticity with Los Angeles Superior Court judge Lauren Weis, details of the discussion were released by Telephone Stories: The Trials of Michael Jackson. During her 23 years as a prosecutor with the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office, Weis investigated Jackson.
“It felt like it was a hot potato,” Ogborn said while discussing the transcript. “Brando would probably be cancelled if he was around now.”
He went on to say that Brando’s statements had extra weight since he was a “weirdo, like Michael Jackson. So he’s to me a weirdo who understands another weirdo in a weird world”.
“It felt like a hot potato,” he said, referring to the transcript. “Brando would probably be cancelled if he was around now.”
In 1994, Jackson was not charged with molestation, but he was tried in 2005 and acquitted on all charges.
