Great interview - interesting guy - believe Michael was setup a lot but he lost me at the end with Tate. After studying who this bald, attention seeking, social media clout chasing guy was - he was always a criminal defrauding girls into doing webcam sex work. He is a master manipulator and the biggest narcissist I have seen. Tells stories people believe - but his pimps, hustlers, and hoes degree sold sad guys info on how to be a pimp. He on video confessing his crimes many years back.

You can like women and still molest children. The fact MJ liked women doesn’t mean that he didn’t (or did) molest children. Also those people don’t molest all children just ones they can have power over.

[@christopherbaranet]

I was Michaels's limo driver a few times in 1982, NYC. One night I picked him up in a van. He was wearing a fake beard, glasses, and a fake nose, with a long coat. We went to Radio City Music Hall to see Kool And The Gang concert. Michael sat right in the middle of the audience. No one had a clue. After the concert, we walked out through the crowd,, and I thought these people had no idea they were literally brushing shoulders with Michael Jackson.

He will forever be the greatest entertainer of all time!!! His legacy is forever cemented in earth's history!!!

[@scroopynooperz9051]

The real question is why did guvz go out of their way to ruin Michael's life and career? And why would people who'm Michael had so generously treated, go out of their way to fabricate damaging lies about him? We live in a profoundly disturbed world if we can flip on a dime against someone who genuinely just wanted to spread cheer.

Truly sad. Seems like he was constantly being used. It also seemed like the attempt to do that last tour is what ultimately killed him. He just was doing whatever it took to rest.

[@mujahudin]

​@@JaquelineGoodspeedhis family had his back during his trial so I'd disagree.

[@Yerpompous]

That’s because he was sooooo famous. The more attention on someone you’re going to have more misunderstandings because no one knows him but those who are close to him, like any other person on the planet who would be in his shoes with world-wide fame on his level. If you were famous you would feel alone too because know one really knows you, but your closest family and friends. And even then, at that level of fame you sometimes can’t even trust them. So they turn on you and misunderstand you too etc.

The one thing I think he forgot to add was that Michael's bedroom was treated like a living room with friends, family, and trusted individuals. That room was so massive and it was two stories. I don't have a huge bedroom, but my room is where my friends hang out where I eat and where I watch TV , pay my bills, work, ect. It's my command center and I still would rather be in my room doing it all than anywhere else in my house and I live in a big house. I'm at ease and I can relax and feel safe and get way more done

I’m 61. I grew up with Michael and his brothers. I’ve been in heated conversations about these sex allegations. How could someone write “Will you be there” and “Man in the Mirror” and then turn around and torture children. RIP Michael Jackson. He was amazingly talented. He was crushed and alone in the end. Now every entertainer credits him for his music. If he was defended by all the phony’s and knew he was loved, maybe he would still be alive today. This was the first time I saw your program.

You sound like you would be a gullible prime target for a con-artist in one of those phone scams - or online love romance scams with someone pretending to be Johnny Depp lol - your kids should check in on you. and my response here, has no relation to whether I think MJ did anything or not, but in response to your reasoning itself as it's so ridiculous and holds zero ground; "he wrote a song I like so he totally didn't do it" LMAOOOO SMH

Matt, thank you for talking about this! I have been a life long fan of Michael. He has forever touched me and my whole existence. Last year, my mother passed away, and after her burial I decided I would finally go on a trip to America, and visit some of the significant places in Michael's life - just so I get full closure about both my heroes being angels now (MJ and my mom). I got to Los Angeles in the afternoon, around 2:30 PM, got to my hotel, dropped all the bags, and went straight to Neverland. The whole 2 hours and 45 minutes drive, I felt like my life was about to change and then I finally got there, and felt ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. No mystic energy, no relief, no nothing. I was just staring at a gate and got to pick up 3 little rocks and drove back to my hotel in Glendale because it was really dark and creepy (you could hear lots of animals - actually saw some wild deer on the side of the road while driving up there). Of course I took some photos, but I was really shocked about my lack of reaction or realization that I WAS THERE and nothing really happened. Got back to the hotel, and started looking at the pictures, and it was only when I started zooming in on a couple of them that it hit me REALLY HARD. I started crying my ass off when I saw all the messages written on the stone wall. HUNDREDS UPON HUNDREDS of messages written by his fans (carved into stone). That's when I realized where I was only 3 hours back. I got this IMMENSE energy flowing through my body and my brain, like this wave of positivity - really can't explain it. I don't believe in magic, I don't believe in mystical things, but I do believe that somehow, Michael was linked to all his fans through an unbreakable and invisible bond. I'm not the one to say he never did anything wrong in his life - sure, that was me as a teenager - but I will FOREVER thank him for teaching me to be a better and kinder person every day! Michael Jackson left a lot of love in this world, and that will FOREVER be his legacy. I will teach my children how to be caring and loving persons, and I will pass on the torch, and they will do the same, and through the generations, he will have a never ending legacy. It's content like this which helps putting the doubters to rest. Us, the OG ones, have always known the truth, WE FELT IT!

Wow. Ive only seen documentaries that show how ridiculous all the pido allegations were. Mainstream Medium _always_ sends the same messages, no matter what. Thankfully, all of the documentaries I've seen were on KZbin, which, let's be honest, is a larger medium with broader audiences and different sources featured. They usually do an excellent job highlighting their relationships then the brilliant people who sometimes get a bit frustrated but most who calmly (and honestly, in my strong opinion) deny anything to do with Michael and anything untoward about children. Let's be honest, mainstream television is on it's way out. This means it will be on this platform, where there are _many_ opposing sources and viewpoints, lol! They won't and already don't, run the show around here. I hope you begin seeing how many opposing & truthful, imo, podcasts and positive documentaries or "mockumentaries" (shorter and without a huge production budget) that there are on KZbin. ❤

Sometimes when you see that the podcast is two hours long, you think you’re going to last about twenty minutes. These two hours flew by. It felt like a privilege to listen to a conversation between friends, not an interview. I personally never thought that MJ was a ‘fiddler’ as you put it 😂 due to thinking, why would any parent let their child stay at any adults house etc, however you still question the the thought process of why have them there. It was a really balanced interview of difficult questions, letting Matt answer and explain without feeling uncomfortable, all the while being able to dig deeper. Matt is the epitome of loyalty and integrity, morals that don’t appear to exist or are shown a lot these days. I really really enjoyed this episode, thank you.

[@rozsheehy6146]

I totally agree with you about that!! I didn't know how long I would watch, but like you said...it flew by!! I never believed it either, just because I kind of grew up with him. Seeing how shy and gentle he was all along the way. All of a sudden he's a child m**ester?! No, I just wasn't buying it.

That’s not to say that everyone that’s found not guilty isn’t innocent or those that pay people off aren’t guilty either, it was just my opinion. Some of what he says also links in to what other friends of MJ have said over the years. I remember once seeing Russell Crowe in an interview talking about how MJ used to prank him all the time. I just think it’s a shame it was in his death that one of the accusers came forward to say it wasn’t true and not before he died

Michael trusted children, because they never judged him. He didn't have a childhood, and the lack of experiences of being a child and then teenage must have traumatized him a lot. It was the adults around the children he met, that wanted to take advantage of him. And still are trying really hard to bring him down. The entire industry used Michael and he was naive. This podcast was really good ! The weasel Bashir should apologize profusely and publicly to both Michael and Princess Diana. At the end of the day, Michael's words were quoted, clipped and pasted to fit a narrative that sold mediocre tabloids. He was used and exploited. But he will always remain in the hearts of his fans and in music history, as a genius !

Always nice to hear Matt's dialogues and interviews. Anyone who wants to know more information about Michael can consult the podcasts called "Michael Jackson Case for Innocence", "Red Jackson Dance" (on KZbin), "The Mjcast", and the documentaries "Square One MJ", "The Lies of Leaving Neverland”, “Michael Jackson Private Home Movies”, “Michael Jackson Take Two The Footage You Were Never Meant to See”, “Michael Jackson The Humanitarian”, The FBI files on MJ, and “Loving Neverland”.

I can't thank you enough for having this interview with Mr Fiddes. I grew up listening to Michael Jackson's pop music, and what I knew of him was through the media and what the legend wanted me to see, which went completely sideways towards the end and the outright extortion of a celebrity isn't new, but using one's child to do it (with the insurance companies supporting it) is beyond horrific. Mr. Fiddes revealed the side of Michael that I wish the world would have gotten to see and know, and one that I always wondered about. The 20th-century music industry was definitely one of product development, marketing, showmanship, and delivery - all meeting the expectations that were created with the pressures to exceed them for longevity - and Michael Jackson is a true legend. I'm thankful that Mr Fiddes shared his experiences with and introduced us to Mr Jackson. I also wanted to thank Mr Fiddes for his candor, authenticity, and genuineness. As much as I loved the discussion about Mr Jackson, I absolutely loved the conversations about his life journey, experiences, and how he approached and handled life's difficult situations. He's inspiring and is a breath of fresh air. Finally, I recently found your KZbin channel, and I'm definitely thankful for it. All of your interviews are incredibly well done, just like with Mr. Fiddes. Your authenticity, genuineness, and great follow-up questions bring out the best in them. All the best and thank you for your channel once again.

[@Khwaab]

Nothing weird at all about that. It´s both understandable to want to "be" like someone we look up to, but also a compliment to perhaps the most oppressed race in the world (black people 🖤). Sometimes, I feel like certain people are actually deeply jealous of black people and their natural talents, hence the racism. They claim to find black people ugly, but then get surgery and fillers to get what God gave black people naturally; the full lips, the insane curves, the slightly upturned eyes and the chocolate skin that ages so slowly. Not to mention their super-white teeth! They are fertile til old age, and they excel at several sports and in several fields. I love black people so much, because they have been nothing but loyal friends to me all life. I´d take a bullet for them all! I wish Michael knew how incredibly beautiful he was. That smile! Sadly though, a lot of black people are at war with themselves, and do not speak well of each other. Black men, for instance, are champs at trash-talking their own sisters/women, and as soon as they get famous, they marry a white woman. I can relate to that, because I too come from a culture that was ruled by colonials for 250 years, and it affected us so deeply that, even today, our people are bleaching their skin to just get lighter somehow. It´s a collective trauma that seems to be everlasting. The media being founded and ruled by the people who hate blacks, has contributed to everyone..Arabs, Persians, Indians, Africans, Chinese. Lationos...to see themselves as "less than" and to not like their own ethnicity. It´s a huge crime, but spoken of so little, because they OWN the media (and won´t allow a debate of that sort). So you saying that you wished to be black should not be taken as something bad. God bless you.

Was really nice listening to him talking about Michael. I will always remember him in concert in uk cant remember where , but was definitely in the 80s. Me and my best friend who's passed away now. (Me Julie) she loved Michael Jackson so much , so talked me into just going and waiting outside the concert. Because we couldn't get tickets. We could hear it all and sat listening to it. Near the end Michael told them to open the gates for people who couldn't be there... That was us.. ohhh my God, we ran and ran to near the middle. Don't know how but we got to see him for the last song's Was amazing, the atmosphere was out of this world. Both given me great memories RIP 🙏🏽

One of my best mates, Gary Dunn, hung out with Michael for four days when Michael came to Perth, Western Australia, for a Telethon many years ago. He was staying at the Rendezvous Hotel in Scarborough (at beach) and Gaz and his wife took their two young daughters to try if they could see him if he came out, plus he waved from the balcony. Michael spotted them ~ I don't know why them ~ and got his bodyguard to bring them in and up to the penthouse. They clicked and got on very well straight away, so Michael invited them back for four days. Another mate, Tim Bradsmith, who designs lighting for concerts and stage shows for many famous people/groups, and he worked with Michael as his Tour Director while in Perth. Tim said how Michael secretly had several shipping containers brought in that contained thousands of toys which were secretly distributed to all the kids in Princess Margaret Childrens Hospital and various charities. Michael didn't want anyone to know he'd done that. I produce a tv show called "The Profile" where Gary interviews famous Australian musicians [ have done 126 episodes ] and Gary and Tim did interviews (Gaz didn't interview himself - lol - another of the 4 Producers - Alan Simpson- did him). I'll post the links under here as they both have great stories about Michael and said he was a really nice person. Great interview, mate! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJKnoIp-l9h3r7Msi=y9cPf4zN1q01G41O kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnakoKKVo7-Yo9ksi=0B5YZ6KsAvz0BNot ❤

Like Prince, Michael was a Jehovah's Witness for yrs. Because of his Mother. Their teachings are they do good things like give those toys to children, and donate money and other things, but you do not tell or brag about it.. same as Prince who also gave things and lots of money to help others. Its given from the Heart and its your calling.. there are the stories about Michael when became famous , he still disguised himself and went door to door telling folks the word about Jehovah's Witness and passing on the teachings.. it seemed tho that most people knew it was Michael who was visiting them..can you imagine having him in your house telling the word..Prince did the same thing telling the Jehovah teachings to others but i am not sure if he went house to house like Michael ,but he did pass the word ..

THANK YOU Matt for sharing with the world what really happen to Michael Jackson! As an 80s baby I grew up listening to his music and loved watching the movie Moonwalker. I never turned my back on him and always knew the allegations against him were lies and people trying to exploit him. One of the greatest books that I encourage people to read is Micheal Jackson Unmasked by Ian Halperin, an investigative journalist who exposes the truth from all the lies a lot of this information is in that book. What they did to him was awful and my heart hurts for him when I think about everything he went through when all he wanted to do was make the world a better place. His heart was pure and I honestly believe Michael was a special gift from God. Rest in peace Michael, the truth will always prevail 🤍🕊️
