Chapter 1206: The Truth Revealed
The media has gone crazy, and there are 200 reporters guarding the area around Chandler's New Jersey villa, and since "News 60" broke the truth about the Michael Jackson incident, reporters from all over North America have begun to rush to New Jersey, all hoping to interview the Chandler family as soon as possible.
Although CBS TV broke the news of the tape, as many conspiracy theories say: the authenticity of the recording needs to be further verified, and the official statement of the Chandler family is also crucial, and it is still unknown until the parties actually admit it. It's as if even if the perpetrator is arrested in the course of committing the crime, but until the court pronounces the verdict, he can only say "suspect". Conviction requires a final confession.
So, all the reporters frantically rushed over, hoping to interview the Chandlers, whether they denied it or admitted it, the first-hand information was the most important thing!
After a night of waiting, they finally had hope, the door was opened, and a thin figure stepped out. The reporters were almost like a 100-meter sprint, and everyone rushed up like a tide, and in an instant the entire vicinity of the villa was like a tide of sardines, which made the dense phobia shiver.
Jordan stumbled open the door, the sun at eight o'clock in the morning was not dazzling, even a little too gentle, and the faint warmth on the skin eased the stiff muscles little by little.
Jordan's eyes were a little unopen, he kept looking directly at the sun, unwilling to look away, because he needed the guidance of this light, and the darkness behind him was so terrible that it seemed to swallow him at any moment. But Jordan's ears could clearly hear the noise around him, the shrill shouts of reporters surging chaotically, all the voices were intertwined, he could only vaguely hear a few scattered words, and the others turned into a burst of "whoosh" sounds, challenging the limits of the eardrums.
What's even more terrifying is that the sound of heavy objects around him still hasn't stopped, although Jordan's body doesn't feel pain, but the walls on his left and right sides are wailing, which makes Jordan feel a little weak in fear, as if he will lose all his strength in the next second.
The pressure finally completely crushed Jordan.
From the day he started lying, Jordan was under constant pressure, under pressure to have his lies exposed, under pressure to witness Michael walk down the altar, under the pressure of media attention, and under the pressure of his father's threats...... Only God remembers that he was only thirteen years old at the time.
Now, all the pressure was concentrated in a moment and completely exploded, Jordan finally couldn't take it anymore, and he wanted relief.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I lied, I lied, my dad asked me to lie, I lied!" Jordan covered his cheeks in pain, tears gushing frantically from his fingers, his voice seemed to be drowned out by the noise of reporters, no one could hear him, but he could only do it, muttering and repeating the review...... Repented.
The reporters gradually quieted down, they didn't sympathize with Jordan who was only fifteen years old, but heard Jordan's voice, a reporter broke free and put the megaphone in his hand at Jordan's feet, and then Jordan's voice was clearly transmitted, "Michael is not lewd." Blaspheming me, not violating me, this qiē is a lie, all of it is a lie......"
In addition to 200 reporters and hundreds of fans, there were also CBS TV, Fox TV, NBC TV live broadcast vehicles, except for ABC TV, which has been criticized for its news attention and response speed, all other TV stations were present and reported the incident as soon as possible.
Among them, the most astute Fox TV station immediately interrupted the ongoing program, and broadcast Jordan's confession live at this time under the title of "breaking news". Although it lost out to CBS in terms of exclusivity, CBS TV attracted a total of 15 million viewers yesterday, setting a record for the ratings of a news television program in the United States, and many competitors were blushing. But today, Fox's clever decision allowed them to grab 13 million viewers on the spot, which is no less impressive.
"Jordan, what the hell is going on?" The group of reporters did not know who broke the silence and shouted loudly, and the others immediately glared at the source of the sound, but the commotion lasted less than half a second, and everyone turned their attention to Jordan again, eager to know the truth.
"I don't know, don't ask me, don't ask me." Jordan said bitterly, "Everything is not true, everything is fake, Michael is very good to me, he never violated me, or tried to do this, everything is a lie, my father forced me to lie, he forced me to lie so that he could blackmail Michael, let our family live a happy life, he forced me, he forced me, he forced me......"
The audience was in an uproar. Or to be more precise, the audience was silent and everyone was shocked. As Hugo said when he accused the media of the "witch trial", in the absence of any evidence, people have come to the conclusion because of Jordan's side of the story, although Jordan is a minor, his testimony is highly valued, but people should not ignore the adults standing behind the underage.
The truth of the matter is so simple, yet so cruel.
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! There was an angry voice behind Jordan, and then he saw Jordan huddle in fear, hide to the side, and then his whole body began to tremble, and he clearly saw the fear in his heart. Then, Jordan's father Evan appeared in front of the camera, holding a bottle of whiskey in his left hand and waving his right fist, wanting to teach Jordan a lesson, but he only gave Jordan two punches, and he found that something was wrong, which made his movements stiffen in place.
Evan turned his head slowly, stared stiffly at the surging crowd in front of him, and froze completely in place. The camera recorded all his actions and indirectly confirmed everyone's suspicions. The strength of his left hand loosened slightly, and the bottle fell to the ground, and only the sound of the bottle's bones could be heard in the silence of the scene.
Ping-pong, ping-pong...... Clang...... The bottle eventually fell down the stairs with a crunching sound.
The truth is revealed.
All the controversy, all the controversy, all the doubts, this is the end of it. Although conspiracy theories still exist, some people have always stubbornly believed that the Chandlers were forced to lie under pressure from Michael Jackson, and these people only stubbornly believe the facts they want to believe, regardless of how many loopholes their excuses have, and no matter how credible the truth is, they just stubbornly believe the facts they want to believe, believing that this qiē is a conspiracy, and Michael is the devil behind the scenes; But in fact, most people are still shocked by the truth, according to a random sample survey conducted by Fox TV five days after the incident, more than 85 percent believe the truth, and then 11 percent feel that the matter needs further confirmation.
According to statistics, a total of 68 newspapers reported on the Michael Jackson incident that day, and this number reached 313 in the next two weeks; A total of 91 magazines reported the truth of the matter, of which 62 reported on the cover; In three days, more than 300 radio stations mentioned the "Michael Jackson affair" more than 74,000 times; The three major television stations, NBC, CBS and ABC, as well as Fox TV, which at this time became famous as a news station, joined forces to convey the truth to more than 50 million viewers across the United States......
Under tremendous pressure, he stood up and pointed out that Michael was in love. Child. Fetish's own sister, La Toya, later gave an interview to Fox TV, saying that she was completely forced by her husband and agent Jack Gordon to say these words at the time, and announced that she had officially retracted the remarks that attacked Michael at the time.
La Toya's interview also further confirms everyone's suspicions: Michael is innocent, from start to finish.
More than two-thirds of the United States is watching the matter, even alarming President Bill Clinton. Clinton was asked this question in a college speech, and he said that the Rodney King incident had already sounded the alarm bell for the government, and the news media, which was the last gate of public opinion supervision, was now showing loopholes, and their pursuit of interests was often blinded and the truth was blinded, and this time the Michael Jackson incident made people deeply feel the pressure and persecution they endured as a public figure.
In his speech, Clinton also mentioned that in order to avoid such a retrogressive phenomenon as the witch trial in modern civilization, it is not only necessary for government departments to be vigilant, but also for the news media to shoulder social responsibility.
Once again, the news media have been pushed to the forefront again, especially the New York Post and the National Inquirer, which have managed to come out of the shadows, have once again become targets, and people have once again poured all their condemnation on these two media outlets. And the "witch trial" proposed by Hugo was mentioned again, and some people were lamenting the horror of being an uncrowned king, they could play with public opinion in the palm of their hands and kill people invisibly; Some people are lamenting the twists and turns of the incident, and they actually gave Michael Jackson a clean slate in the end; Others were surprised that Hugo was wise at the beginning, and actually saw through the fog to see the truth of the matter......
Not what Hugo intended, he was once again in the limelight.
But as everyone expected, Michael Jackson never appeared at all, and even after the grievances were revealed, he still did not appear to clarify the facts, and always hid in the European castle to adjust; And Hugo is even more so, still insisting on the practice of refusing all interviews since the start of filming of "Seven Deadly Sins", which has made countless media return.
In fact, for Hugo, the best gift is that the truth has finally been made public, the struggle and confrontation in the first half a year of the incident, to Michael's heart-wrenching and depression when he chose to settle out of court, and then to the boredom and bitterness of nearly two years of silence, although Hugo can't understand Michael's pain, he has always had a regret, even if he tried hard, he still couldn't change the trajectory of history, which almost made Hugo question himself, "Can he really make Hugo Lancaster change history?" ”
Two years gave Hugo confidence that he could! And now that the truth of the Michael Jackson affair has been announced to the world fourteen years in advance, Hugo has been given the result, and he can!
