Marlon Brando, a renowned screen legend, reportedly brought Michael Jackson to tears during a conversation about s**ual abuse allegations, as revealed in a recent podcast episode.
The Hollywood icon, known for his close friendship with Jackson, was questioned by investigators regarding accusations of child molestation directed at the singer back in 1994.
During a discussion at Jackson’s Neverland Ranch, Brando shared that he had inquired about Jackson’s virginity, to which the star responded with a nervous laugh.
Brando noted Jackson’s discomfort with discussing intimate matters, particularly using the explicit “f-word,” indicating the singer’s unease with revealing details about his personal life.
Continuing the conversation, Brando pressed Jackson further about the child abuse allegations, leading to an emotional response from the singer, who tearfully confessed his strained relationship with his father.
Expressing his suspicions regarding Jackson’s behavior, Brando implied a possible connection between the singer and children based on the ongoing controversies.
According to the revelations in the podcast series “Telephone Stories: The Trials of Michael Jackson,” which obtained a verified transcript of Brando’s sworn statement, the authenticity of the conversation was confirmed by Judge Lauren Weis of the Los Angeles Superior Court.
Discussing the significance of Brando’s statements, the podcast creator Brandon Ogborn highlighted the potential backlash Brando could face in the current cultural climate, describing Brando as a peculiar figure who could empathize with Jackson’s eccentricities in their shared unconventional world.
Despite facing no charges in 1994, Jackson stood trial in 2005 and was ultimately acquitted of all accusations, following a tumultuous legal battle.
Recently, the controversial documentary “Leaving Neverland” from 2019 reignited the s**ual abuse allegations against Jackson, featuring detailed accounts from Wade Robson and James Safechuck, both now in their thirties, who allege that Jackson molested them during their childhood in the 1990s.
