A retraction broadcast by Larry King on CNN and an apology from The Sun in England

Living with Michael Jackson

2009-03-08 7:09

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.

KING: Let me get a break in. Back with more of the panel. In connection with a comment made by our guest Dr. Arnold Kline on Wednesday's program, we were contacted by Uri Geller, who said he did not personally receive any money whatsoever in connection with the Martin Bashir interview with Michael Jackson. The doctor said he did. The Dr. Kline interview will be repeated tomorrow night. We'll be right back.
