In case you missed it, earlier this week (just days before the 7-year anniversary of his death on June 25), Michael Jackson and his Neverland Ranch came under attack with a round of new and disturbing claims.
According to a new report, in 2003, police raided the King of Pop’s Los Olivos estate, where they discovered he collected child pornography. The raid, part of an investigation surrounding Jackson while he was on trial for child molestation, also reportedly states that investigators found notes, photos, videos and hard drives filled with child porn in addition to animal torture.
As you can imagine, the recent claims have not sat well with family — on the eve of the anniversary of his death at that. Now, his 18-year-old daughter, Paris Jackson, has sounded off on the claims, defending Jackson and giving a middle finger to those behind the report, which labeled her father a “drug-and-sex-crazed predator.”
“Unfortunately negativity will always sell. I urge you all to ignore the trash & the parasites who make a career trying to slander my father,” she wrote via Twitter.

“The most pure people are always torn down.. It will continue to be proven that my beloved dad has always been and forever will be innocent,” she continued. Later, she took it one step further by posting a snap of the “Bad” crooner licking his middle finger and captioned it, “#Mood.”
Meanwhile, Kelly Hoover, a spokeswoman for the Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office, promised that the recently released documents from Neverland Ranch were not put out by authorities. “Some of the documents appear to be copies of reports that were authored by Sheriff’s Office,” she told LA Times. There also appears to be “evidentiary photographs” taken by Sheriff’s Office personnel. She went on to allege that other photos and documents were “clearly obtained from the Internet.”
What are your thoughts on Jackson’s response to claims child pornography was found on her late father’s Neverland Ranch?
