Earlier this week, Michael Jackson’s estate came under fire from famous choreographer, Wade Robson who accused the late King of Pop of “childhood sexual abuse.” Although both the Jackson estate and Jackson’s former attorney have denied the allegations, R&B star and famous MJ fan, Omarion recently spoke out to defend his idol’s image.
In a new interview with TMZ, Omarion explained that he thinks the lawsuit is disgraceful.
“He’s suing Mike? The person that’s dead? The legend? That’s messed up, man,” O said. “I can’t believe it. I can’t believe he would sue a dead man. That’s unbelievable. I don’t like it.”
In 2005, Jackson went to trial over allegations that he molested a 13-year-old cancer survivor but was ultimately found not guilty. Although MJ’s former housekeeper claims that she caught Jackson showering with Robson when he was younger, Robson testified that Jackson never touched him and that he thought that the allegations were “ridiculous.”
However, Robson now claims that Jackson molested him for seven years during his time at the Neverland Ranch. Robson says that Jackson “brainwashed” him into keeping quiet and that his “repressed memory” kept him from initially filing any claims against Jackson.
But Omarion claims that Robson is only suing MJ’s estate because he wants money. “Maybe he’s in a position like he needs some extra change or something like that. I don’t know,” he said. “But I just think its whack.”
Ironically, Omarion is no stranger to sexual abuse allegations. In 2007, Omarion blasted his former B2K group mate Raz B for “lying” and claiming that their former manager, Chris Stokes, molested them.
Who knows what the truth on this matter is? But Robson isn’t the only star that has claimed to have been molested. Check out some other sexually abused stars below. – nicholas robinson
