After a series of shocking accusations against Michael Jackson – which labeled him as a serial child abuser, ole’ friend Madonna has come out in defense of the late king of Pop.
In a recent interview with British Vogue, the ‘Like A Virgin’ songstress was quoted telling that although she hasn’t seen HBO’s shocking revelatory documentary ‘Leaving Neverland’, she still believes MJ is innocent.
Madonna stated that she is not willing to jump on the ‘he did it’ bandwagon and believes that one is truly innocent until proven guilty.
“I don’t have a lynch-mob mentality, so in my mind, people are innocent until proven guilty. I’ve had a thousand accusations hurled at me that are not true. So my attitude when people tell me things about people is, ‘Can you prove it?’”
She further added:
“I haven’t seen the film. But I guess it would be people recounting actual events ? but then, of course, people sometimes lie. So I always say, ‘What’s the agenda? What do people want out of this? Are there people asking for money, is there some kind of extortion thing happening?’ I would take all of those things into consideration.”
