Michael Jackson He was part of the group “The Jackson 5”, along with his brothers and of which he ended up being the main vocalist since 1965, despite his young age, after leaving the family nest and become a relevant figure in music and achieve thousands of successes, Pop’s king” He was involved in cases that irreparably damaged his musical career.
Musical hits
He became a legend in life in 1982 with the release of “Thriller”, whose zombie video clip changed the paradigm of the audiovisual world within music.
The single gave its name to what was the best-selling album of 1983, and which gave the “King of Pop” seven Grammys and eight American Music Awards, becoming the youngest artist to obtain the Merit award. In addition, it is the best-selling album in history, and its figures have continued growing posthumously.
But all this intense media attention was not without controversy. The physical transformationsespecially the whitening of your skin, generated controversy around his figure when he was accused of denying his ethnicity. Although, as Jackson himself revealed to Oprah Winfrey, the reason for the latter was, in truth, that I suffered from vitiligo.
Abuse cases against Michael Jackson
After divorcing in 1999, the artist lost custody of their children. This fact fueled accusations of child abuse that since 1993 they marked a dark part of Jackson’s life.
Between 2002 (the year in which Michael had a son by himself, Prince Michael Jackson II) and 2003, this controversy grew as a result of the documentaries “Living with Michael Jackson” and “Living with Michael Jackson, Take two”.
Although he was cleared of the charges in 2005, his career was irreparably damaged and in 2019, ten years after his death, the documentary “Leaving Neverland” reopened the doubts.
Recently, in August 2023, California court ruled in favor of Wade Robson and James Safechuckprotagonists of “Leaving Neverland” and alleged victims, who appealed the previous ruling and who will now be able to pursue their case against the businesses that belonged to Michael Jackson.
Jonathan Steinsapir, lawyer in charge of looking after the singer’s estate, was “disappointed” by the Court’s decision, in statements to People Magazine, and He expressed his total confidence that “Michael is innocent”and recalled that “judges repeatedly dismissed these cases.”
Something clear is that until justice rulesone more time, if michael jackson is guilty or innocent, its defenders and detractors will continue to fuel these and other theories around the figure of the “King of Pop”. However, it is that, beyond the shadows, the lights of his career they have left behind a legacy for which, so far, there has been no prince to replace him on the throne of pop.
