after the dateline special

spider monkey wrote:he was MJ's spiritual adviser and they did have a fall-out sometime after the taped convos. he was 'deleted' from MJ's inner circle, and its accompanying privileges, and he had been sullying MJ's reputation since then. in one MJ docu, he was actually there talking about telling Michael not to bleach his skin anymore, and how MJ just turned away without saying anything. this man is so self-righteous and put MJ down for not following his advice. he didn't believe MJ had vitiligo, and just gave unsolicited advice without knowing the facts first - either that, or he actually didn't believe MJ when he admitted to having vitiligo.

during the trial, schmuley shared part of the tapes with media. it was a good part about MJ's unconditional love for children, which schmuley said was inspiring. in the same breath, he said that although he believed MJ would be acquitted of this one case, he didn't know if MJ was a child molester in general. so his motive for sharing the tape was self-advertising.

MJ did agree to being taped - supposedly, it was for a book on parenting. but there were speculations that some of the convos were taped secretly by schmuley. i suppose these are the parts that have nothing to do with parenting. and maybe that is why he could not release them at any time before june 25 09 - because he knew there was invasion of privacy, and he could be sued.

here is another old article, about what happened to Heal the Kids, which MJ started with schmuley. apparently, the donations went to schmuley's pockets. scroll down a bit for the article.

and yet through all this, MJ didn't speak bad about schmuley. it was always schmuley saying something negative about MJ. except now, when we saw his black list, which originated from Germany's (Germany is the key LOL) Dieter Wiesner.
