Uri Geller's statement regarding Joran van der Sloot

 

During my live TV series The New Uri Geller in Holland, myself and one of the producers came up with a proposal for Joran van der Sloot to be hypnotized to attempt to find out the truth, which could finally solve Natalee Holloway's tragic disappearance.  Someone from production traced van der Sloot through Facebook and he agreed to participate. However, for various production reasons, it did not proceed.

I subsequently still believed that this could be the basis of a very powerful documentary, especially if we manage to extract the truth out of van der Sloot through hypnosis, which could possibly help solve the case and provide some comfort for the family.  I was hoping for the interview and session to take place in Aruba, but van der Sloot was in Peru and indicated that he was stranded there and had no means of getting back to Aruba.  In order to facilitate the interview in Aruba, I agreed to forward a one way ticket from Peru to Aruba together with $600 to cover his expenses.

A few days later we were horrified to learn that he was wanted by Interpol on suspicion of murder.  We immediately contacted the British police and Interpol.

Any allegation made by van der Sloot that additional monies were paid to him by me are totally and absolutely untrue.

LIBEL Geller
Feb 15, 2010 3:06:39 PM

Paranormalist Uri Geller has accepted undisclosed damages, costs and an apology from the Belfast Telegraph over an allegation about his relationship with the late Michael Jackson.

The newspaper published an apology on February 9 which read: "In our edition dated August 11, 2009 we published an article under the headline 'Surely Jacko's friends are the real Wackos' which may have wrongly inferred that Uri Geller had turned a blind eye to Michael Jackson's drug problems and that he had failed the late singer as a friend.

"We acknowledge that Uri Geller has consistently stated that he never observed Michael Jackson take drugs and that he had supported his friend in every way practicable at the time. We are happy to make this clear and apologise to Uri Geller for any misunderstanding."

"We acknowledge that Uri Geller has consistently stated that he never observed Michael Jackson take drugs and that he had supported his friend in every way practicable at the time. We are happy to make this clear and apologise to Uri Geller for any misunderstanding."

Discover's apology

 

May 2009

Uri is absolutely delighted that Discover magazine are to publish the above-noted retraction in response to a complaint filed by his lawyers regarding totally false and defamatory allegations. The retraction and apology reads: "The August 2007 issue of Discover magazine included an article entitled "Whatever happened to Uri Geller?". This article incorrectly reported that the Knesset had branded Mr Geller a disgrace to the State of Israel. We apologize for this error". I am very satisfied with this outcome and vindication of my reputation.

Geller settles Jackson libel case

 

 

 

Michael Jackson's friend Uri Geller has settled a legal case over tabloid claims the pair wanted to use positive thinking to solve the credit crunch. The Sun has issued an apology and full retraction, and agreed to donate to Geller's charitable foundation, said Belfast-based libel lawyer Paul Tweed. The story included a false claim he contacted Simon Cowell with a plan to halt the economic downturn.

The Sun's apology read: "We now accept that our story was without foundation." It said: "We wrongly reported that Uri Geller had collaborated with the late Michael Jackson on a recent project." Mr Geller consulted Mr Tweed, who has successfully represented him in previous libel cases, following an article published last December - six months before Jackson's sudden death.

A retraction broadcast by Larry King on CNN and an apology from

The Sun in England

 

Living with Michael Jackson

Whilst I continue to welcomely receive emails from people using this website I would ask that you please do not contact me in order to question my loyalty to my late friend Michael Jackson. I am outraged at having been portrayed in a false light in connection with events that took place during Michael's lifetime. Specifically I would refer you to the retraction that was broadcast on CNN by Larry King, 10 July, and would confirm that my lawyers are handling a false and defamatory statement which was made by a guest on a previous show.  Lastly please be assured that I did not benefit financially in any way whatsoever as a result of Martin Bashir's interview with Michael Jackson. I am forwarding any communications to the contrary to my lawyers for appropriate action.The most painful thing to me is to be described as a person who sells out a close friend for money.
