Living with Michael Jackson is a documentary, in which British journalist Martin Bashir interviewed Michael Jackson over a span of 8 months, from May 2002 to January 2003. It was shown first in the UK on 3 February 2003 and in the US three days later on ABC, introduced by Barbara Walters. Martin Bashir put the proposal to Jackson as a way to show the world the truth about him and make nothing off limits. Jacksons decision to make the documentary was made on the suggestion by his close friend Uri Geller. It later emerged that Geller had turned down another bid for the interview by journalist Louis Theroux. The interview was very unusual, as it had been extremely rare for Jackson to allow such access to his personal life, or to talk so freely about his traumatic childhood. Nevertheless, he did show some reserve when asked to discuss other personal issues, such as the plastic surgery he has had. Jackson felt betrayed by Bashir and complained that the film gives a distorted picture of his behaviour and conduct as a father. He claims that Bashir, in the final version of his interview, used only that material which supported Bashirs opinion of Jackson, which was not a favorable one. Jackson filed complaints with the UKs Independent Television Commission and the Broadcasting Standards Commission. Jacksons lawyers claimed in a British High Court case against Martin Bashir and Granada TV that the documentary was a breach of contract and breach of confidence. The proceedings were …

&his security is like Micheal-be careful be careful-he’s like LET HER IN she won’t hurt me.
i can imagine fans scratching each others’s eyeballs out for that pillow XD
@red frame 1 Your’e a 100% percent right when you said Micheal is INNOCENT! I’m a parent myself and if someone molested my child, let me tell you I would f*** him and up and that’s a fact. In my opinion there is no amount of money worth the trauma your child had to go thru. And I know that’s why Chandler killed himself after Micheal died. He knew deep down inside he was responsible for Micheal’s death, and he could’nt live with the guilt anymore so he took the easy way out. MJ is innocent.
@busaboo michael jackson is innocent!! if u truley blieve a multi- millionare sexually harrased your own kid, would you let him pay you of with a couple million, these people know he didnt do it! they just wanted money!
Shouldnt be anywhere near kids.
People need to remember that Michael wasn’t the most psychologically balanced of people, he was a complete man-child. People tend to absolve him of all this when they talk about him.
Michael had a funny laugh

I think Michael was intoxicated at the end of this interview, he looked too hyper xD

i believe in Michael, I believe in his innocence, & i believe in him. 4 those who hate him would wanna see him go 2 jail 4 something he didn’t do. he was hurt & humilliated by the press because he didn’t deserve it. now that he’s gone they can’t say anything else about him & now they can finally leave him alone.
very sensitive vid
i like the way he talks about it in the interview 5:07
5:54 Was Michael a smoker? I am a huge fan, I’m just wondering.
My goodness………This vid nearly brought me to tears. I used to be a hater and believed the stupid things the press said about Michael, I feel terrible from judging Michael so badly and I regret it everyday. At least now he doesn’t have to deal with the pain and sadness anymore, he’s in God’s embrace and nothing can harm him.
This is beautiful. Thank you for making it. I am feeling alot of anger today about what was done to Michael Jackson and I needed to see this. I pray for justice everyday.
ooh !
why they hurt this child !
i miss you michael ..
you are a great person ..
@KingMJRocks Just another thing too… 5:54 it looks like E Casanova rather than Michael. I’m sure he said later in life he’d never touched a cigarette…
I don’t understand the bit about Chutes & Ladders or Candyland… Two board games if I’m right? Might have to explain that one to me how Michael would be upset about that.
The press are truly awful, and people in general cling on to a lie because it’s a good story, rather than hearing the truth. I know exactly what you went through right now, Michael. RIP and we love you.
@luluberlu83 sounds like a remake of Elton John’s song Sacrifice
This is a great video until you said LMP was his one true love. No.
Michael’s three true loves were his children.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY…WE MISS YOU…
Is that Janet in the white at 2:45 anyone?????
Damn This is really sad and you can see at :51 how fed up he is when he sais Tell her to go to Hell. and the clip at 1:55 seems like a celebrity nightmare, pretty scary to me. RIP Michael
Wow 4 people missed the like button.
The pic at 0:25 is not MJ! The flaw is a big pity.Apart from that, the video is quite good!
What is the name of the first two songs please?
nice video… could do without the lmp part…
Amazing video, got me sitting here in tears.
I miss him. I wish I could’ve taken away all that pain he felt.
@stringzmusic661 After reading that book a few years ago, I can honestly say that I would never suggest fans read it.
