A new TV docuseries is about to ignite a firestorm after producers uncovered chilling, never-before-heard audio of Michael Jackson discussing his deepest feelings about children — including confessions so unsettling they’re already sparking debate online.
In the recordings, the late superstar opens up about his emotional dependence on being surrounded by kids, at one point admitting that without them in his life, he would rather die. “If you told me right now… Michael, you could never see another child… I would kill myself,” he says in one of the most jarring exchanges.
Jackson also claims that young fans “fall in love” with him, adding, “Sometimes it gets me into trouble,” a comment that takes on new weight given the allegations that followed him throughout his career.
The audio will air next week in “The Trial,” a four-part Channel 4 docuseries from Wonderhood Studios that revisits Jackson’s 2005 criminal trial. That case centered on accusations made by cancer survivor Gavin Arvizo, who said Jackson sexually abused him at Neverland Ranch. Jackson was ultimately acquitted on all 14 charges, including molestation and providing alcohol to a minor.
Producers say the newly discovered tapes offer a raw, emotional look at Jackson’s mindset during one of the most intense chapters of his life. The series also includes never-before-seen footage of Jackson and Arvizo alone at Neverland, including picnics and intimate moments that take on a more complicated tone in hindsight.
An insider who has heard the tapes describes Jackson’s recorded comments as “extremely unusual and eerie,” adding that hearing him speak so openly about children “raises many questions about his mental health, mindset, and sadly, his intentions.”
The insider also claims the footage highlights how deeply Jackson attached himself to Arvizo as the boy battled cancer, recalling Jackson telling him he looked like “an angel.”
Executive producer Tom Anstiss says the recordings offer a rare window into Jackson’s psyche. “The tapes are emotionally raw and very real,” he explained. “At points, you can hear Michael is close to tears.”
“The Trial” is expected to reignite debate around Jackson’s long-scrutinized relationships with children — and this time, the most haunting evidence may be his own voice.
Leave it alone
It is up to God now to decide
RIP MICHAEL
So, you can’t tell a child they look like an Angel? I’m so sick of this crap.
Michael Jackson was like a kid himself. Just because he told a dying kid he looked like an angel does not mean he is a pervert. Just because he said he would die if he could not see another child doesn’t make him a pervert. He loved and related more to children because he was child like but that doesn’t make him a pervert. The dying cancer child may have just saw Michael as a good way to get money who knows.
WE all know something was “wrong” with him just looking at him! But he was an abused child as well!
He was no child abuser
