Chapter 1213: 1213

Michael Jackson finally shows up!

Tom's first job after taking up the post was enthusiastically sought after and severely tested. Nearly 500 reporters from 227 media outlets attended the press conference. The whole scene was bustling and lively, not only the print media were dispatched collectively. , Radio and TV have also sent staff to arrive at the scene, hoping to interview Michael as soon as possible.

The press conference was divided into two parts, the first part was Michael's statement, he could finally justify his innocence, and then he praised Endeavour Elite Agency and expressed his expectation for the next work; The second part is a reporter interview, but before entering the interview, Tom, as Michael's spokesman, also issued a statement from the official position.

"Because Mr. Jackson and Mr. Chandler settled out of court, Mr. Jackson will not bring the lawsuit again. But we still reserve to sue Mr. Chandler and all the truth-distorting news media for defamation, reputation damage and prosecution. The right to compensation for mental damage."

This is Michael's request. It's like he decided to settle out of court and used the settlement money to end the whole thing. He doesn't want more people to be hurt because of this, especially Jordan. He is just a underage children. Although Hugo strongly objected to this, since Evan - Chandler is completely broken, he should be allowed to plead guilty, and then go to court for defamation, but Michael refused.

The team headed by Rick and Tom also conducted internal discussions. When they came to the conclusion, although the whole incident of Michael was special, there was no problem in appealing, but because of Michael's status as a public figure, it was still difficult to obtain evidence for the crime of defamation. It will take a long time, and as Michael said, it will be very involved, and I am afraid it will become the focus of media hype again.

So, in the end, both sides took a step back, and that's how Tom's statement came about.

After the interview session began, the reporters' questions were still centered on the Chandler family. In the history of Hollywood, countless public figures have been slandered, and there are also many people who have turned the world upside down, but in the end, there are only a handful of people who broke the truth in such a dramatic way.

This has in turn sparked a concern among countless sociologists: Can all remarks directed at public figures be published recklessly? While protecting the rights of public opinion supervision and freedom of speech, does it harm the reputation and privacy rights of public figures?

The witch trials, who created the witches, and who is conducting the trials.

Facing the reporters' questions, Michael's expression was still a little painful. He originally refused to attend the press conference and hoped to give Tom full responsibility. However, after careful consideration, Michael decided to summon the courage to face the media and face the deepest feelings in his heart. Unfathomable wound, "I told the truth as it happened, I told you, Chandler tried to blackmail me, he extorted twenty million dollars from me, I didn't agree. But you don't want to believe..." Michael didn't need to go on talking about the latter words, the reporters themselves knew what they had done.

This made the huge lineup of nearly 500 reporters on the scene seem silent, and everyone fidgeted and avoided Michael's sight.

"But fortunately, I still met some friends who were willing to believe in me. These friends have always stood behind me, supported me until now, and gave me the courage to continue to stand on the stage. So, for me I'm grateful for everything I have now." Michael went on to say that he wanted to condemn Chandler severely, but the memory was so painful that he didn't want to recall it at all. It will consume his countless energy, so he still doesn't say anything in the end.

"Am I among the friends you mentioned, including Hugo Lancaster?" a reporter asked loudly.

Michael chuckled and nodded, "Yes, including Hugo Lancaster."

The entire press conference lasted forty minutes. After Michael left, the reporters were still unwilling to leave.

With Michael's joining, in addition to Endeavour Elite Brokerage becoming the target of much attention, the Chandler family has once again become the target of public criticism. Naturally, the media will not self-examine their original mistakes. They are more willing to use such a statement to cover up their embarrassment. "Chandler is like a high-level liar. On his well-built stage, he deceived everyone with his flawless acting skills. He deceived the world with his superb acting like a movie star, but behind it was a disgusting The wolf's ambition..."

Chandler deceived the world, as the media led, so they were not wrong. The media directly forgot their fueling and abusing them.

This time as well, in order to divert the target, the media focused all their anger on the Chandler family. It seems that only in this way can they prove their "innocence".

Soon the evidence was unearthed one by one. The first was Will Lynch. The Chandler pharmacist was discovered by reporters who dug three feet into the ground. He also confirmed the previous media speculation. He found that Evan Chandler overdosed on sodium amethyst, then charged a hush fee and left early. Will's testimony was undoubtedly powerful, as he positively confirmed Evan's use of Ammital on Jordan, and he confirmed that "he used three times the normal dose."

Although Jordan has admitted the fact of lying in front of the media, and Evan's behavior has confirmed the authenticity of the recording, so far, Evan has never officially issued a statement, he only admitted in a telephone interview that Jordan said everything It's true, there's no news beyond that.

Therefore, Will's news is undoubtedly shocking and has caused widespread discussion.

Immediately afterwards, a recording of a telephone call made by Evan when he filed a lawsuit in 1993 was also exposed by media reporters with great powers, "If I don't get what I want, it will be a bloody storm, and things will get more and more troubled. Bigger. He's going to be as embarrassing as he's ever been, ruined, and he's not going to sell any more records. I can get everything I want, and he's utterly ruined, and he's gone for the rest of his life. "

After the recording came out, there was an uproar. People were surprised not only by Evan's viciousness and treacherousness, but also by the miraculousness of the media reporters - when the case happened, their investigation direction was focused on attacking Michael, but no one ever thought about the possibility of Michael's innocence, so None of this evidence has ever been excavated.

With the emergence of unfavorable evidence one by one, the Chandler family has been completely nailed to the pillar of shame, Jordan's life at school has fallen into a desperate situation, and the abuse and rejection from strangers outside are nothing, but more important. It was the indifference and exclusion from Jordan's friends and classmates that made Jordan miserable. Under great pressure, Jordan was forced to temporarily suspend his studies.

Joan's social life was also completely ruined. She was forced to hide at home all day, and she had to dress up when she went out, but even so, she couldn't avoid the attention of the paparazzi. At this moment, Joan really realized that the attention she has always dreamed of, under certain circumstances, can also become a weapon to kill herself.

Of course, the pressure of others is not comparable to that of Evan. There are protesters in his dental clinic almost every day. After losing most of the customers, a small number of regular customers could not bear it and left one after another. local police. The police department complained, but it was of no avail, because his clinic had completely lost its reputation in the entire community. Not only were people reluctant to come to the house, but rumors continued to spread, and the strange gazes of the neighbors made him almost collapse.

Evan tried to repent, and now he knew what kind of terrible situation Michael was facing, but he couldn't, because the pressure was about to tear him to shreds.

When he went to the convenience store to buy things, the clerk would look at him with strange eyes; when he went to take out the garbage, the next-door neighbor would stand across the street and pointed at him; The sight is like countless sharp arrows piercing at him; when he goes to the bank, when someone mentions "Mr. Evan Chandler", there will be countless sights around him in an instant; even he is standing on the side of the road eating one. When it comes to hot dogs, you can hear people talking about him from the wind...

Evan didn't know how Michael persisted, because even if he was hiding in his house, TV, radio, newspapers and all the media he could reach were discussing him - or he thought he was discussing him, a lot. At times, he doesn't even need to accuse or curse, just a look and a sneer can trigger the pressure in his heart, making him explode like a lunatic.

He can only indulge in the world of alcohol, ups and downs, hoping that his nerves can be paralyzed. But he found that even such a little request could not be done, because he began to regret it, watching Jordan's timidity and decadence, watching Joan's grandeur and irritability, he regretted everything he had done, and he realized that His hands were stained with invisible blood.

Money is everything, but money is not everything. Once upon a time, he was jealous of the glamorous Michael, he was jealous of everything Michael had, and he would even dream of the beauty and happiness of owning Neverland in his sleep; but now, his greed has become the shackles that bound him, making him step by step. Out of breath.

The pressure is increasing with the advancement of time, and guilt and fear are tormenting him day by day. Even if Michael did not file a lawsuit, the pressure of public opinion in the society is an invisible cross, pressing hard on his shoulders, causing him to gradually lose All strength, and eventually lost the ability to resist.

On September 16, 1995, Evan Chandler pointed a pistol at his temple, pulled the trigger, and ended his life. Afterwards, Jordan Chandler and Joan Chandler truly disappeared from the public eye, becoming one of the millions of ordinary people who were once sensational prostitution. child. The case came to an end.
