Mike Tyson Admitted He’d Never Let His Kid Hang Out With Michael Jackson

Mike Tyson Admitted He’d Never Let His Kid Hang Out With Michael Jackson.

From tracks such as ‘Billie Jean’, ‘Beat It’ and ‘Smooth Criminal’, there’s no wonder that many loved the late singer’s music.

But since his death in 2009, allegations that Jackson abused youngsters came to light in the explosive documentary, Leaving Neverland.

Actor Corey Feldman last week told HLN he couldn’t any longer stand up for Jackson amid the claims in Leaving Neverland.

‘I don’t want to be perceived as I’m here to defend Michael Jackson, because I can no longer do that,’ the 47-year-old actor said. ‘I can not in good consciousness defend anyone who’s being accused of such horrendous crimes. I’m also not here to judge him, because again, he did not do those things to me and that was not my experience.’

Singer Aaron Carter told TMZ Monday that Jackson never attempted anything inappropriate with him during the time they hung out when he was around 15-years-old. He noted Robson and Safechuck both had previously testified on Jackson’s behalf in legal proceedings, and that they should have spoken up when Jackson was on trial in 2005 on molestation allegations.

‘Why not do it when he was alive?’ he said. ‘Why not do it when he was being accused of all of these molestation charges. Why not do it then and actually indict a perpetrator?’ 

Jackson died at the age of 50 in June of 2009 as result of a drug overdose. Despite that, everyone in Hollywood has seemingly weighed in on the topic since the allegations were brought to light.

For instance, singing legend Elton John described Jackson as ‘mentally ill’ and ‘a disturbing person to be around’.

“I’d known Michael since he was 13 or 14,” Elton wrote back in 2019. “He was just the most adorable kid you could imagine. “But at some point in the intervening years, he started sequestering himself away from the world and away from reality, the way Elvis Presley did.”

Another celeb to speak out is boxing legend Mike Tyson, who was actually a friend of Jackson’s while the singer was alive.
