Michael Jackson’s princely manners are on display in his This Is It movie that won’t be on DVD in time for Christmas.
However, MJ and his fans finally get to see the King of Pop’s reputation restored with the recent suicide of the father who forced his son to lie about being sexually assaulted by the pop star.
Michael Jackson’s fantasy life came crashing down in 1993 when 13-year-old Jordan Chandler and his father Evan falsely accused the pop icon of child molestation.
Much like with the current Tiger Woods scandal, the world eagerly came down on an insanely wealthy, legendary black man who finally showed a chink in his armor.
Many people were quick to believe MJ molested the little boys who visited his 2,500-acre Neverland Ranch that included an amusement park and a zoo, and Michael paid $22 million to the Chandlers to quiet the noise from a year-long police probe/media circus and return to his peaceful existence.
Although Michael sent millions to children’s charities and started his own foundations for kids, the King of Pop remained tormented by the molestation allegations for the remainder of his life, and he was falsely accused by another boy in 2004.

After Michael died of a doctor-induced drug overdose in June, Jordan Chandler, now 29 years old, admitted that his father, who was a Beverly Hills dentist at the time, made him lie about being molested by the pop icon to extort money.
In MJ’s This Is It movie, people were finally able to see Michael’s unscripted patience, kindness, humility and love. Evan Chandler witnessed it firsthand and saw an opportunity to take advantage of the pop star’s unusually unselfish, unconditional love for children that made up for his lost childhood traveling with his big brothers in the Jackson Five.
But Michael has been redeemed in death because Evan Chandler squandered all of his money and killed himself with a single bullet to his head in November, not long after his son came clean about the lies. It’s sad when someone takes his or her life, but I guess Evan Chandler reaped what he sowed for stealing part of Michael’s life.
