Michael Jackson and Wade Robson (1990-1996)

Wade Robson and Michael Jackson

Wade Robson was born on 17th September, 1982 in Australia and is a famous dancer, who already worked together with Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Usher and well, Michael Jackson. He started to dance at the age of two. He was a defender of Michael Jackson until 2013. In 2013, he claimed that he was sexually abused by Michael from age seven until age fourteen.

How did Wade and Michael meet? Wade won a dance contest at age five. The prize was meeting Michael Jackson and when Jackson came to Australia during his Bad Tour, he met 5-year-old Wade Robson in his hotel suite.

“I saw the ‘Making of [Michael Jackson’s] Thriller.’ Just instantly became obsessed. I wanted to be just like him. I dressed like him every day, I had my hair permed to look like him and all that stuff.”

In Australia 1987, he also had contact with  5-year-old Brett Barnes for the first time who later also became one of Michael’s special friends. Wade and Brett both were 5 and both came from Australia. Another similarity seen here is that Omer Bhatti was also picked up by Michael, because Michael was impressed of Omer imitating Michael’s dance moves. Omer was a lot older. Do those similarities prove something? No, of course not, because the stories went on very differently. Wade had no contact to Michael for the next two years. Brett also just had phone conversations with Michael until he became a real friend of Michael at age nine, four years later. He always lived in Australia and just visited Neverland. Omer was picked up by Michael directly after their first meeting and he went on tour with the 11-year-old. When the HIStory tour was finished, Omer lived and travelled with Michael.

After their first meeting, Michael and Wade had no contact for 2 years. This might show that Jackson had no real interest in the little boy, because usually there was never a boy, he hadn’t got at least phone conact with. Michael told the family that if they ever come to the US, they should look him up. The US-tour of the Robson family happend in 1990 when Wade was 7. He met Michael again in the Record One Recording studios. Jackson invited the whole family to his ranch for the weekend, and it was then that Wade Robson became a special friend of Michael Jackson.

During the first weekend that the family stayed at the ranch, Wade stayed in Michael’s bed without his 10-year-old sister or his parents on the second night. During the first night, Chantal also stayed in Jackson’s bedroom, but she only stayed in Michael’s bed twice more during all the time, they had contact. This was typical of Michael. The sisters of Michael’s ‘special friends’ were not sleeping in Michael’s bed, unlike the brothers of the special friends. Kieran Culkin and the brothers of Frank and Eddie Cascio were sharing Michael’s bed, the sisters not. Karlee Barnes (sister of Brett Barnes) shared the same story as Chantal Robson. In Omer’s case, he was the only one out of his family that ever stayed in Michael’s bed, same goes for Jordan.

“This was just the most magical thing I’d ever seen … And that first night Michael, he just kind of took us on a little bit of a tour. And he said to me and my sister, ‘You can stay in one of the guest rooms or you can stay with me if you want.’ And my reaction was, ‘Of course, I want stay with you,'” Robson said. “We had one more night that way. Myself and my family were going to leave and go on another kind of vacation to the Grand Canyon. I was devastated to leave Michael. Michael was devastated for me to leave. He actually sobbed.”

When Wade’s family left the ranch for a vacation, they left their 7-year-old son with Michael Jackson for a week.

“Within either the first or second night of Michael and I being alone at Neverland, the night started changing. One of the ways I remember it starting is, you know, Michael just sort of starting to touch my legs and touch my crotch over my pants … It progressed to him performing oral sex on me, him showing me how to perform oral sex on him”- Wade Robson

Jackson had normalized physical contact between an unrelated child and a grown man to Wade prior to the molestation.

“A couple days prior to the abuse starting, he started touching me just in the sense of, like, hand on my leg, lots of hugs, kissing my forehead, rubbing my hand. So it’d been this kind of development of physical closeness that was happening already that felt like a father. It just felt amazing,” he said. “As Michael started doing these sexual acts, he started talking to me about, God brought us together. We love each other … And this is how we show each other our love.”

The following weekend, the family again stayed at Neverland. Afterwards, Michael took Wade and his mother to Las Vegas and they visited Siegfried and Roy. The rest of the family was not invited (sister and father). During every night in Vegas, Wade was molested by Jackson.

In Vegas, Wade’s mother was having a suite and Wade and Michael had one together. After this vacation,Wade and his family returned to Australia. Wade flew to the US to visit Michael multiple times in the next 2 years. Wade was always staying with Michael for a couple of weeks. Sometimes, Michael would even call Joy Robson (Wade’s mother), while they were in the US, saying that she should bring Wade to him late at night. So, she definitely knew that Michael called her just to tell her that he wants to spend the night with her little son, aged 7-9 at the time. Joy Robson repeatedly woke up her little son late at night to bring him to Michael Jackson. Once, Wade arrived at Neverland at 1:30am and went to straight to bed with Michael. This is something that Joy Robson even admitted in 2005 when defending Michael Jackson, so she didn’t make that up recently to back up her son’s claims. When Wade stayed with Michael, Jackson motivated Wade to call him “Dad”. Jackson explained the sexual acts to Wade as “acts of love” and told the child that “he loves him”. Jackson added that no one would understand “their love”, because people are ignorant. Wade received the nickname “little one”, by his mentor Michael Jackson.

When Wade and his mother were still living in Australia, Jackson called Wade almost every day for two years and spent hours with him on the telephone. Jackson also wrote a lot of faxes to the 7-8 year old child. Sometimes, the whole living room would be covered with paper.

He constantly told Wade that he loves and misses him. He even called Wade “the nicest boy on the planet” in this fax:

10540194-6767779-Wade_Robson_s_family_said_that_Jackson_would_sometimes_send_so_m-a-111_1551677679484

In this one, he asks Joy Robson to make Wade repeat the sentence “I will practice, because practice makes perfect” 30 times before going to sleep. He also tells her to make Wade read his messages every evening:

10540204-6767779-image-a-122_1551677876212

This is interesting since Jackson always complaint about not having a normal childhood himself, yet he apparently had no issues with setting young children under pressure.

In this one, he asks Wade to “make him happy” which sounds weird since Wade was only 8 years old and because pedophiles often use such phrases like “make me happy”, “if you love me, you do this” :

10540178-6767779-image-a-135_1551678231346

In the following fax, he tells Joy that he would financially support her:

“Yeah, that was the thing is that the way Michael approached the abuse, the sexual activity with me was always extremely tender,” Robson said. “There was never — I mean, he didn’t beat me. He didn’t, you know, he’d never said mean things to me. It was all, ‘We love each other.’ It was all tender.”

In 1991, when Wade was about eight years old, Joy Robson and her children moved to the USA, because they wanted Wade to become really succesfull with the help of Michael Jackson. Wade was just like Omer, a really talented boy when it came to dancing. Here you can see 8-year-old Wade Robson imitating Michael Jackson:

Wade was now living in the USA and he visited Neverland quite often. The 8-year-old still shared Jackson’s bed until he was 14. During all those sleepovers, Jackson molested him. Their last sleepover was in 1996 when Robson was fourteen. While they were living in the US, Wade always visited Michael on his own, without his parents. He said that he spent at least 25 weekends at Neverland, aged 8-14. At the age of 14, Michael even tried to anally penetrate Wade Robson, according to his complaint. That was most likely the last time he was molested, because Wade recalled only one sleepover at the age of 14. During this sleepover, the anal penetration must have happend.

“The abuse, for me, went from age seven to 14 years old. I remember feeling around twelve, starting to be a little more uncomfortable about that. And sometimes maybe trying to change the subject or, you know, distract. But then having a fear that, “If I don’t do this, I’m already feeling like I’m not a favorite of Michael’s anymore. And if I don’t do this, what’s gonna happen? What’s gonna happen to our friendship?” ~ Wade Robson

Robson says he went through similar violations when, at age 14, he had a growth spurt and was nearly six-feet tall: “Michael tried to penetrate me in my anus with his penis, trying for a while, and I guess was able to a bit, but it was really painful too painful for me, so he stopped.” The day after, Jackson ordered Robson to find the pair of underwear he was wearing that night and throw it out because it had specks of blood in it — and almost certainly, Jackson’s DNA. – Vulture article about “Leaving Neverland”

The longest period of time that Wade was staying at Neverland  without returning to his parents was one week and and a half. Wade and Michael also worked together. Wade appeared in MJ’s music videos ‘Black or White’, Jam’ & ‘Heal the world’.

Here is a picture of Wade Robson with Michael Jackson, James Safechuck and Brett Barnes in early 1992 at the set of “Jam”:

Wade also said in 2005 that he knew Jordan Chandler. He claimed that he, Jordan, Michael, Macaualy and Kieran Culkin shared once a bed all together, but only for one night. He also knew Brett Barnes and met him when they both were 9 years old. Jackson didn’t spend a night with Wade and Brett together.

When in 1993, the first child sex abuse claim was made, Wade says (now) that Michael manipulated him on the phone. He was at the time 11, just like the other Australian boy Brett Barnes. When Wade was older than 14, he visited Neverland 25 times but without Michael being there.

In court in 2005, Wade was defending Michael, saying he never touched him in a sexual way. Wade was imperturbable in defending Michael. He was a big reason why Michael was found innocent in 2005. The court couldn’t bring him down. The court documents are now open to everyone, just look it up. The court tried to make him uncertain by showing Wade some homoerotic books that were found in Neverland:

1.’Before the hands of man’

51d8KiTUDlL._SX359_BO1,204,203,200_

In this book, all men are completely naked. In the pictures are men between 18 and 25. In some photos, two men are naked while kissing/hugging/touching each other. It’s quite a romantic book, not really pornographic, since the only sexual act here is a man touching another man between his legs (naked). It’s more showing romantic love between two men than sex.

Wade also said that: “It seems more loving in a way, like not so much about sex.”

Wade didn’t step away from Michael, he was saying : “I didn’t see any boy, I saw men.”

2.’A study of male sexuality’

A pornographic book which gives facts about homosexuality and shows pictures of sexual acts between men such as mastrubation, oral sex and anal sex, all adult.

They showed Wade  more homoerotic books which were owned by Jackson. All adult, all legal. But they also showed him books, which Jackson owned of underage boys.

11393510

The ‘boy books’ were books, which also included pictures of young boys who were completely naked. Wade said that some of the adult homoerotic books gave him doubts about letting a young boy sleep in MJ’s bed.

It was the gay pornographic book: “A study of male sexuality”:

Court: “Is it a fact, as you look through that book, what is depicted throughout that book are series of photographs two men engaged in sex acts with one another?”

Wade: “Yes.”

Court: “And in fact, the sex acts are all acts, of either mastrubation, oral sex, or sodomy, is that right?”

Wade:”From what I saw, yes.”

Court: “And sodomy, as you understand, is an act of anal sex, is that correct?”

Wade: “Yes.”

Court: “Would you be concerned about a person who possesses that book, crawling into bed with a 10-year-old boy?”

Wade: “Yeah, I guess so.”

This shows that he somehow had doubts about Michael.

Which may prove that Jackson manipulated him, was his strange opinion about nude photos of little boys:

Court: “Is it true, Mr.Robson, that all of the pictures in the book are of boys, about the same age?”

Wade: “Yes.”

Court: “10, 11, 12 years old?”

Wade: “Yes.”

Court: “And that many of the photographs, if not most most of the photographs, depicted in that book are of boys nude(naked); is that correct?”

Wade: “Yes.”

Court: “And in fact, in most of those pictures, the genitalia is prominently displayed; is that right?”

Wade: “Yes.”

Court: “Would you be concerned about having your 12-year-old child in bed with a person who possesses a book like that?”

Wade: “No.”

Court: “You would have no such concern?”

Wade: “No. It’s to me not a pornographic book. It’s sort of-I don’t know, just a book.”

Something in Wade’s mind wasn’t right while he said that. If a person possess a book of naked 10, 11 and 12 -year-old boys, you don’t put your son who is that age in a bed with that person. It doesn’t matter what kind of book it is. Wade was way too defensive here and not arguing rationally here. To my mind, this hints at Michael Jackson brainwashing Wade.

“The training – Michael’s training of me to testify began the first night that he started abusing me,” Robson said. “He started telling me that if anybody else ever finds out, we’ll both go to jail, both of our lives would be over.”

Wade’s claims are also supported by a lot of employees who stated that Wade is one of Jackson’s victims in the 2005 molestation trial or earlier.

One of them was Charlie Michaels. She witnessed Jackson touching Wade’s genital area while rehearsing dance moves together in a studio. Prior to that, she saw Joy Robson crying, because she had been told by Michael to not enter the studio:

Another one was Blanca Francia. She claimed that Michael and Wade took showers together and found Wade’s underwear on the floor:

Conclusion:

Even though Wade defended Michael, he said in 2013 for the first time that MJ sexually abused him from age 7 until 14. He said that he was brainwashed by a sexual predator. The nature of the abuse was masturbation, oral and anal sex. As Wade says, he never forgot one moment of what Michael did to him, but he was emotionally completely unable to understand that it was sexual abuse. MJ would tell the boy that if one day someone finds out what they were doing, both of their lives will be over. Wade Robson had two breakdowns in 2013 and as he says, his son was the one that saved his life. There is definitely some evidence for Wade’s abuse regarding the answers that Wade gave to the court in 2005. When Wade’s sleepovers ended, the molestation ended as well. There are three former employees who claim that they caught Michael molesting Wade.

  1. Good article.
    I think his testimony and the questions he was asked definitely have to had rang in his mind after his wife gave birth to his son. He then knew it wasn’t “loving” or “normal”.

  2. I never gave Wade the credit he deserved for doing the Today show interview. What an incredibly brave thing to do. Although I believed Wade, it was jarring to hear the accusations from the (alleged) victim. Wade is the only accuser who has done an interview besides Terry George. When Wade did that interview, he stood up and told some very ugly, shocking truths. I don’t know if I or the world was ready to look into this man’s eyes and hear it but looking at the interview again, I’m so amazed by his courage. He spoke his truth. He told his story. He stood up like David to Goliath and said I wont be a pawn to be used to cover up someone else’s (alleged) crimes. I don’t know if any other child will ever be as brave as Wade but interviews are powerful. It’s one thing to read words on a page but an entirely other thing to look at a (alleged) victims eyes and face and hear their story.

  3. I’ve read almost all of your articles and, while entertaining, most of them are just innuendo, rumors, discredited stories and a lot of ‘do you think is normal for an adult to’.

    I would like to address a specific issue, though:

    – Michael Jackson was heterosexual.

    A sizable amount and porn was found in the 2003 Neverland raid and all of it was legal, heterosexual porn.

    No kiddie porn and no BDSM porn, as you state many times in your articles, unless you count Madonna’s book ‘Sex’ as BDSM.

    It doesn’t make any sense that a homosexual man, as you state he was, accumulated across the years heterosexual, legal porn if it wasn’t indeed his sexual inclination.

    • You’re full of shit Dr Black- and so’s your little blog post. I suggest you mosey back to mjfacts,com and DL the 100 page guide to investigating child sexual exploitation by the acquaintance molester by retired FBI Special Agent Kenneth V. Lanning. Your god fits the description of the perp to the T, and Wade probably wouldn’t have disclosed EVER had your god lived. That’s how good Jackson was at manipulation, he could keep these boys on the hook to adulthood if he chose (and whatever his boys asked for he gave as it was easier to placate them with material things when his affections and attention stopped the closer to manhood they were getting). Also this piss-poor obsession with Wade getting revenge over NOT getting the CDS Michael Jackson: ONE show is flimsy. He made TONS of money doing choreography and directing for late 90s-early 2000s MONSTER pop acts (NSYNC, BSB, Aaron Carter, Usher, Britney Spears) than a fading 80s icon that reached his sell-by date a bit too soon because of the pedophilia allegations. Do you know how CDS works? They employ directors and choreographers for each show as independent contractors for the duration of the show’s run (on average CDS shows now run for 4 years as the tour became successful) or for just a year.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cirque_du_Soleil#Shows You think that’s a lot of money?

  4. Thanks a lot a lot for this article and your excellent website in general. Although I have never been a real Michael Jackson fan, I did admire his talent and in a way he was part of my youth. Moreover the accusations of child abuse against him were such a big story that it was hard to neglect it. So far I just didn’t kwow what to think. MJs private life and especially his relationship with boys did make a very weird impression but on the other hand the people who were accusing him – the Jordan and the Arvizo family – didn’t seem very trustworthy to me.

    Because I had heard about the documentary film “Leaving Neverland” I got interested to know more about it and that is how I found your website. Hearing Wade Robson’s story and reading the stories about his other special friends that I had never heard about have convinced me that Michael Jackson was indeed a child molester. A sad charakter of course, but makes you wonder why so many people have just looked away.

  5. I was in highschool when the second trial went on. I vivdly remember the articles and TV news about it. I was shocked that MJ lived with boys and slept with them. Although MJ was found not guilty, many people were unsure about that strange thing with boys. And I was wondering – how? How parents allowed that?
    Now I am a mother of an 8yo boy and I cannot imagine this. Ever for a new apartment or a world trip, I will never ever let my son live with the grown man.
    Sexual predators are everywhere. As a parent, you need to be careful.
    By the way, I live in Russia and you can see how the news is spreading, even in the 90th, the press was publishing transcribed materials about the trial and alleged testimonies.

    • Dear Anna. I am a little bit in the same situation as I am the father of 11 old son. Like you I really can’t understand that parents would allow an adult man wanted to sleep in the same bed with their son. Even if that man is world-famous and showers you and your child with attention and presents. It might be that Michael Jackson was a master manipulator – and a very sad character at the same time. And why didn’t the other members do anything to stop his weird behaviour in the eyes of the world?

  6. Might be worth noting in the article that Wade later dated MJ’s neice Brandi for 7 years (I’m unclear exactly when except that it must have included the period when Wade had a relationship with Britney Spears). It wasn’t mentioned in the Leaving Neverland documentary. Personally, I don’t think that invalidates his story but I do find it strange that it wasn’t mentioned, especially as it was likely to come out afterwards, and it shows further how deeply Wade was absorbed in MJ’s world.

    One (of many) articles on the subject covers this below:

    • He does talk about Brandi in the documentary but indirectly, he does it twice.
      First when he talks about his father’s suicide.
      Second when he talks about what he wanted in his life when he met his wife.(Brandi didn’t want to move in with him)
      Wade was abused from age 7 to 9 years plus the attempted rape at the age of 14 years.
      Wade and Brandi started as a couple when they were 10 years old and were together until 2002(11 years of relationship.)
      Wade and Brandi had an impasse in their relationship,He was with several girls including Britney Spears(his friend), after they got back together, but the drama happened and they broke up their relationship.Wade has never spoken of Brandi publicly(obvious to protect her) even when Wade wrote the N Sync song “Gone”,Justin Timberlake said it was for Britney when was actually dedicated to Brandi.
      And this doesn’t invalidate his story you can even understand why he did perjury.
