Once again, this topic keeps being brought up as a "gotcha" moment from detractors.

Michael Jackson being in the Epstein files. Sigh. Annoying right?

Well, I am here to debunk those ridiculous claims to rest.

Warning: ridiculous claims ahead!⚠️

First claim: "He's in the Epstein files and was seen taking photos with Jeffrey Epstein! Also with Bill Clinton!"

Yes, Michael Jackson, however, took pictures with both Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Clinton (unrelated), but that doesn't mean he did anything inappropriate or illegal. Michael was searching for beach front property from Epstein. Unbeknownst to Michael, Michael saw him as a fan and knew nothing about Epstein, so that's one thing to clear him on. The picture with Bill Clinton was from a benefit concert at the DNC (voter registration fundraiser titled "A Night at the Apollo" at the Apollo Theater in New York.) and the people in the photo was Diana Ross and her son, Evan Ross, his children MJJ Jr and Paris. The Bill Clinton photo wasn't even in the Epstein files, so that's false.

Second claim: "the message in the Epstein files is about a CP magazine."

What? Mind you, they NEVER sourced this claim. This is honestly a ridiculous claim.

The files cleared him of any wrongdoing. One of Epstein's victims, Sjöberg, met MJ at the Palm Beach home. She was specifically asked, "Did you give Michael Jackson a massage?" she said, "I did not." This came from Sjöberg's deposition.

None of Epstein's victims said Michael was doing anything inappropriate or illegal. If anything, they're the ones that cleared his name.

Reading those files will also tell you (hypothetically) that Michael Jackson wasn't doing anything illegal. People get confused with Michael A. Jackson. Not THE Michael Jackson.
