About this episode

This episode begins a deep dive into the accusations against Michael Jackson, examining all evidence and claims surrounding the cases.

There’s a reason this story never goes away. Every few years, a new accuser surfaces, a new lawsuit is filed, a new settlement is paid — and the conversation resets to the same two positions: he did it, or they’re lying. Neither position accounts for the full evidence. Both positions protect someone’s bottom line. And the rest of us are left trying to figure out how to feel about a catalog of music that’s woven into the fabric of our lives. This is True Crime Today, and I’m starting a five-part deep dive into the accusations against Michael Jackson. Every case. Every accuser. Every settlement. Every reversal. Every piece of evidence that’s been verified and every claim that’s been debunked. The biopic just opened to record-breaking numbers. A family that defended Jackson for decades just accused him of assaulting all of their children. A major civil trial is on the calendar. The timing has never been more relevant. What makes this series different is the editorial approach. I’m not telling you what to believe. I’m presenting what’s been proven, what’s been disproven, and what remains genuinely unresolved — and trusting you to decide for yourself. Because you deserve to hear this…
