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 …

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.
If anybody question why we fans love MJ, this is why. He takes time to appreciate his fans and to make sure they are satisfied.
I love his laugh!!!!!!!!!!
5:18 did Blanket just slap the bottle?
Despite the scarf one can clearly see his eyes – MICHAEL’s eyes – on that child…. and in the memorial it was like seeing Michael.
F * c k the press, Michael you’re the best – END OF DISCUSSION!
God,the part were the girl hugs him just made me cry
martin bashir is a dick
I’m so jealous of the girl who got to hug Michael! hahah and i love his funny faces at the beginning of the video
at 4.38 you can hear him say “I’ll give you more than a hug” <33
@santhony666 I agree. MJ was exhorted, he was a target by the greedy parents of those kids. Michael had such a sweet gentle nature and he was taken advantageof for his goodness
Martin Bashir is a bamstick – GO MIKE!!
All allegations toward michael are totally false. i believe this not only because i’m a commited fan, but because of the overwhelming evidence in MJ’s favour,
Both boys in the ’93 and ’05 cases were coached by money grabbing parents. Arvizo’s mother had lied in court before and coached her son’s for a $75,000 settlement. And Chandlers father when asked how the allogations would affect his son, replied, “That’s irrelevant to me…It will be a massacre if I don’t get what I want.”
R.I.P Michaelx
You know, maybe Bashir was the one who tipped of the press about the visit to the zoo….. Just to stress MJ out so he’d act in a way that Bashir could twist to make it look weird.
bashir only wanted to have the interview to find out more about the molsestation trial and michael trusted him and opened up to him and tha guy just stabbed him in tha bak. thats y michael was so private about his life and felt so lonley all tha time cuz he culdnt trust anyone
Im nearly crying…he seem s nice…god i miss him
his life sucks, sod the money, he cant go anywhere, i wouldnt be able to do anything i always do, its not worth it.
i love how fans were yelling fuck the press..haha
Another reason MJ was awesome is that he had a genuine love for his fans! He was accepting gifts and everything. And when the girl was being pushed back security Mike told them to let her hug him despite all of the chaos. And did you hear that guy say he came from Israel just to see him? I swear, more celebrities should be like this with their fans!
@deeluvspkr Just google Living with Michael Jackson and click on: Living with Michael Jackson – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
just? returned from a trip to berlin,
in the Adlon, so strange he stayed in one of the roomes and put his baby out of the window.
r.i.p. MJ
I know. It was magic. Michael said that he sees the face of God in children, and when blanket looked at michael he knew he was safe and okay. Bashir(that annoying man) just wanted to mess it all up.
