Did Evan Chandler Coach Jordan Chandler? A Closer Look at the 1993 Allegations
What happened?
On July 16th 1993, Evan sedated his son Jordan with a drug to pull out his baby tooth. During this procedure, he blackmailed and repeatedly pressured the boy into admitting Jackson molested him.
According to their book All That Glitters, Evan repeatedly questioned Jordan, but after the allegations broke, the boy told child psychiatrist Dr Richard Gardner in an interview in October of 1993 that he was asked by Evan only once, leaving out the part where his father badgered him and threatened to destroy Jackson unless he got the desired response.
Evan imagined the same sex acts Jordan later would accuse Michael of kissing and masturbation after lying about bugging Jordan’s bedroom.
We either believe this is a remarkable coincidence or accept that Evan coached the boy to falsely accuse Jackson of committing those acts later on.
In a taped conversation between Evan Chandler and his ex-wife’s husband, Dave Schwartz, Evan accuses Jackson of using power and fame to seduce his son Jordan and ex-wife, June, and blaming them for breaking up the family.
In the interview with Dr Gardner, Jordan told the doctor that after revealing to his father the alleged abuse, they never spoke about it afterwards.
Evan also claimed the same thing.
However, in the meeting with Dr Gardner, Jordan’s statements almost verbatim reflect his father’s views.
Experts on deception and coaching have noted that this behaviour is common in cases of false allegations. When coached to make accusations, the programmed individual often repeats specific phrases or ideas their coach has implanted. This can signify that the allegations are not based on the individual’s experiences or memories but rather on instructions.
Ironically, this snippet comes from a book by Dr. Gardner, a man the Chandlers acknowledged as the foremost expert on false CSA allegations.
So how would this parroting of his father have occurred if Jordan and Evan had never discussed anything after the reveal?
During Jackson’s trial in 2005, the media leaked many specifics of the Chandler case to the public, including the settlement.
However, the leaks only revealed the interview between Jordan and Dr Gardner; the doctor’s interview with Evan and conclusions about whether he detected signs of coaching and false allegations remain out of the public’s reach to this day. How convenient for the Chandlers and the media, who all financially benefited from perpetuating the mysteries surrounding this case.
A coached child wasn’t just a one-off event in Jackson’s life.
In 1995, a Canadian boy accused Jackson of molestation. His allegations were so detailed, as was his knowledge of Jackson’s homes and employees.
The police found him believable. But it was a scam. The boy never even met Jackson. Convicted child molester Rodney Allen was the mastermind behind the plot [who knew Victor Guiterrez and said he was a pedophile too]
Police also charged the boy with a public mischief offence.
Nobody accused Jordan of making up the allegations on his own, but the case in Canada demonstrates that someone can coach a boy his age to lie about molestation convincingly.
Did Evan Chandler Have Evidence of Michael Jackson’s Guilt?
In the recording between Chandler and Schwartz, Evan claimed to possess evidence of Jackson’s guilt locked up in a safe and intended to release it if Jackson didn’t attend the meeting.
What was this evidence? In a nutshell: Despite Evan bragging to Dave that he would show the evidence on a screen in court, it was nothing damning overall.
Evan handed the “evidence” over to his brother. Court reviews discovered it comprised newspaper and magazine clippings, deposition transcripts, court pleadings, and roughly six to eight hours of tape recordings.
Again, nothing damning towards Jackson.
Also worth pointing out is despite sounding so sure and having this “evidence”, Evan still admitted he had no idea what was happening between Jackson and his son.
During the conversation, Evan flipped back and forth between two stances. On the one hand, he confidently asserted that he possessed evidence of Jackson causing harm to Jordan and threatened to expose this evidence. And on the other hand, Evan attempted to downplay the situation. He suggested that he wanted to have a discussion to determine if his suspicions were incorrect and if a resolution with Jackson could be reached.
Versus
If you knew someone was harming your child, what kind of solution would you want to make with the abuser?
Also, would you hug your child’s alleged abuser as Evan Chandler did?
Honourable mention, straight from Ray Chandlers book. Reminder that Evan Chandler first approached MJ prior to going public with the allegations with a 20 million dollar film production deal, and that MJ had multiple opportunities to pay out Evan and silence the family with a NDA and instead chose to fight the case.
“Had Michael paid the twenty million dollars demanded of him in August, rather than the following January, he might have spent the next ten years as the world’s most famous entertainer, instead of the world’s most infamous child molester"
