What the hell is this guy talking about? These two things stand out the most as blatantly incorrect and made up:

“Michael’s on tape going, ‘Give the kids Jesus juice.’ Which is wine. I mean, it’s just endless.

And just which tape is that, Mr. Simmons? Were was such a tape when Michael was on trial? If such a tape existed, don't you think he would have been found guilty on the lesser charge of supplying alcohol to a minor? That's your evidence right there. Liar.


“There’s never been a single female of any age that I’ve ever known about who has ever made a claim that she has had a physical relationship with Michael, ever.

Hmmm . . . did you ever hear of someone called Lisa Marie Presley? There are plenty of tapes confirming she had a sexual relationship with Michael -- not someone saying she did, but herself (and even her mother, who hated Michael, confirmed it so). Liar.

This guy is probably in cahoots with Diane Dimond and/or Victor Gutierrez. They all need to get their heads out of their dirty asses.

lapsus

now this guy would not sell a disc or paying for it, so you have to do this kind of statement for someone to pay attention.

Gene Simmons In Bonkers Jackson Rant

It seems that the lead in Gene Simmons' make-up has gone to his brain.

In a bizarre rant during a Classic Rock interview, Simmons accused Michael Jackson of child molestation, citing several completely fictitious pieces of evidence.

The aging glam-rock star claimed that he knew a musician who quit a Michael Jackson tour because of 'what he saw' on the road. I am frequently paid as a Jackson expert and I can state with certainty that I am unaware of any musician ever quitting a Michael Jackson tour mid-way through. In fact, Jackson used the same musicians every time he toured, with minor alterations on a tour by tour basis, but never mid-way through.

Elsewhere, Simmons claimed that Michael Jackson was on tape ordering 'Jesus Juice' for children. This is a fiction.

It was alleged during Jackson's trial that he served alcohol to the Gavin Arvizo and his siblings, but they each gave contradictory accounts of the incident. Staff accused by the children of serving them booze all denied having ever done so, but did reveal that the children had been caught stealing alcohol behind Jackson's back.

No audio tape of Jackson ordering alcohol for children was ever brought forward and the star was acquitted on multiple counts of serving alcohol to a minor. Simmons' claim that Jackson was on tape ordering alcohol for children is pure fantasy.

By far, Simmons' most outrageous claim was that during Jackson's trial a travel agent testified that the star had hired them to fly to Brazil and fetch young boys for him. This allegation is a total figment of Gene Simmons' imagination. No such testimony ever occurred during Jackson's trial.

Growing up, I was always taught that if you don't know what you're talking about, you shouldn't say anything. Evidently Gene's parents didn't instill in him the same belief. That, or he's just going senile.

It is completely irresponsible to pass comment on a criminal investigation that you know nothing about and even more irresponsible to make a criminal accusation and then support it with non-existent evidence. Simmons has heard fragments of reported speech from Jackson's trial and then assigned them entirely new meaning as the years have passed, building up an arsenal of evidence against Jackson which never actually existed.

However, the blame doesn't lie solely at Simmons' door. Classic Rock should do their research before regurgitating such drivel. Yes, it is reported speech, but it is still irresponsible for any publication to perpetuate baseless myths which indicate that an innocent man is a paedophile.

Thanks to Google News, this story has now gone global. All over the world people are reading it and many will believe Simmons' comments, partially because he's in the music business and there is an element of presumed insider knowledge, but mostly because the initial reporting on Jackson's trial was so inept.

Simmons' comments have no basis in reality. Jackson is categorically not on tape ordering children alcohol. There was categorically not any testimony at his trial about flying boys in from Brazil. These two allegations are without any evidencial basis whatsoever, and for Simmons to state them as fact is despicable.

In future, Simmons should either do his research or shut his trap. His irresponsible and unfounded allegations have now entered the homes of millions around the globe and you can bet your bottom dollar that nobody is going to print a rebuttal or a retraction.

I doubt he knew Michael to the extent he claims. I can't remember if he espoused his foul views when Michael was alive or surely he would've been sued. I never liked him irrespective of his opinion towards Michael and I obviously have even less reason to do so now.

Michael, thank you for the music, the moves, the magic, and the memories.

It's interesting isn't it that Gene Simmons ( who was Diana Ross's partner for awhile) should make these comments. I don't know what she saw in him and maybe her friendship with Michael was just too close for Mr Simmons. To say he wasn't interested in women is just crap.

tartlemonlime

Eh, let him say whatever he may want. We truly do not know what Michael did not do, we can only hope. Only Michael knows. As for now, we all believe that he didn't do it, and let's keep it like that, yeah?

~MJ'sHoney~

What a bunch of lies! Running in Michael a few times is not the same as knowing him. Sadly, there will always be a few sorry people out there who make those claims. He was really an asshole to say that though. If Michael had done those things he would have gone to prison. I highly doubt the celebrity factor would count-at least not for him. People wanted to take him down..alot of the world wanted to see him fall , but as they found out in court there was no reason to.

Thanks Pinky for the signature!!

People like Gene embarrass me. It's like he's coming up with this stuff on the go. I'd like to see him try and prove this to be true with real evidence, against the ones the court has. No one takes that dude seriously, except of course those who are willing to read and believe everything that the media reports. If only more people did their research.
