Michael Jackson’s
nephew Taj
Jackson finds dancer-choreographer Wade Robson’s accusations that his uncle had molested him when he was a child “sickening”. He says he will “defend” his late uncle at any cost.
In 2005, during Michael’s trial on child-molestation charges, Robson had testified that the singer didn’t act inappropriately towards him and the late pop singer was acquitted of all charges, reports eonline.com.
But Robson later filed a lawsuit against Jackson’s estate and said that he and MJ performed “sexual acts” on each other at Jackson’s Neverland Ranch.
Taj tweeted: “What people will say and do for money and to stay relevant is sickening. Desperate times call for desperate measures.”
“I don’t want to go on TV. I don’t want publicity, I just want the truth. I always told my uncle Michael that I would take a bullet for him. I mean it today just as much as I meant it back then. Since my uncle Michael is no longer here to defend himself. I will,” he further wrote on twitter.
Taj has said that the late singer helped him cope after an uncle from his mother’s side sexually assaulted him when he was young.
Taj, who is the son of Michael’s brother Tito, said that he wouldn’t have gotten through it if Michael didn’t console him at that time. (Agencies)
