Living with Michael Jackson is a documentary, in which British journalist Martin Bashir interviewed Michael Jackson over a span of 8 months, from May 2002 to January 2003. It was shown first in the UK on 3 February 2003 and in the US three days later on ABC, introduced by Barbara Walters. Martin Bashir put the proposal to Jackson as a way to show the world the truth about him and make nothing off limits. Jacksons decision to make the documentary was made on the suggestion by his close friend Uri Geller. It later emerged that Geller had turned down another bid for the interview by journalist Louis Theroux. The interview was very unusual, as it had been extremely rare for Jackson to allow such access to his personal life, or to talk so freely about his traumatic childhood. Nevertheless, he did show some reserve when asked to discuss other personal issues, such as the plastic surgery he has had. Jackson felt betrayed by Bashir and complained that the film gives a distorted picture of his behaviour and conduct as a father. He claims that Bashir, in the final version of his interview, used only that material which supported Bashirs opinion of Jackson, which was not a favorable one. Jackson filed complaints with the UKs Independent Television Commission and the Broadcasting Standards Commission. Jacksons lawyers claimed in a British High Court case against Martin Bashir and Granada TV that the documentary was a breach of contract and breach of confidence. The proceedings were …

If Michale Jackson never passed away and then released a album that presented him more in his prime would be huge!

“its BS, they made it up!” that right. Those damn tabloids and the press came up with all that bull, and it hurt michael. i hope he is in a better place away from all those people.
Good news for those of you who admire MJ. The Aphrodite Jones show about the allegations is now on YouTube. Check out True Crime with Aphrodite Jones ~ The Michael Jackson episode in your search area and you will be able to watch all 6 parts. And for any doubters, it would be nice for you to see it and hopefully finally understand that Michael was innocent.
@houseofbenjamin1 Michael had vilitigo so any skin bleaching cream would just have been used to even out his skin tone. Otherwise his skin would have been blotchy and uneven.
@houseofbenjamin1 WTF? where did you read that? in the inquire?
@FlyByNight30
u r soo right i wish someone did that to him…i would love to see him (bashir) crying and wishing he didnt do that to michael!!!
Does anyone want to explain the skin bleaching cream they found in MJ’s house?
2:08 they dont sit out in the sun to look black…they tan to look light brown, not freaking black
@kristelsouthpark1 MJ cried when he saw the edited interview with Bashir’s hateful remarks. You can make anyone look weird by emphasizing it thru the whole interview and editing it in a certain way. This interview led to mj being charged with child abuse. The childs mother came up with that after this interview. Like mj would wait till after the interview that had the whole world looking at him to do that. Bashir paved the way for it to happen.
Bashir’s remarks hurt my head. How trusting Michael should have been to let him into his life. Someone should interview Bashir in the same way. Make him look bizarre and disturbing with every breath he takes.
@santhony666 you so right
we still love you mj no matter what

>Implying I’ve ever been to jail
>implying you’re not underage
Someone with a mind older than 13 wouldn’t make such threats and would most definitely care more about their grammar, or at least make an attempt to type right. Children these days……

God, so true, so many people sit out in the sun or even worse go to a tanning salon to make their skin f****** charizard color and cancer and nobody ever cares.
Please sign the petition to get BASHIR FIRED! google “mjtruthnow bashir” (youtube won’t let link posting). It’s the 4th result on the page. Let’s do this for all the betrayal and injustice Bashir inflicted of a beautiful man who trusted him. What a twisted world we live in…. Bashir enjoying his fat warm seat at ABC while Michael is no more. Sign, please, that is the least we can do.
