Correction to “In Defense Of The King”

Earlier I wrote a blog about Michael Jackson’s bodyguards ” In Defense Of The King“,   where I practically praised their book like The Book of the year, and expressed how much I was looking forward to read it. Well things have changed since my latest blog. A lot have changed actually. It all started with a comment on my latest blog,  and this comment was a real eye opener for me, and others as well.

After I read this comment and watched the interview again, it all stood out for me. These bodyguards are not up to something good and right now it doesn’t look like they are defending anyone. To me, all they want is money and the only thing they have right now is their former boss ~Michael Jackson. Their book is called In Defense Of The King, and they make it very clear, that they are defending Michael because someone have to, as they say, but after listening to the interview, I began to look deeper into their answers to the fans on Twitter and Facebook.

After they received several questions, on Twitter, about how they came into possession of private documents, like Michael’s emails – in the interview they call themselves the “gatekeepers” to protect and shield Michael, and now they publish a book based on these documents – one of their answers were:
“Is it just US but does anyone see the questions this dude is asking?”
Apparently they don’t like the critical questions about the privacy of their former boss, a privacy they have been talking a lot about as something that was important to keep. In any case, the fans that asked critical questions like this, ended up being blocked by MJbodyguards on Twitter. They even assumed the questions were like the questions the press would ask.

Dont you think it is okay to ask questions like this? Is it okay to publish private documents from Michael? Is it even okay for them to STILL be in possession of these documents? Shouldn’t they have been handed over to the Estate long ago – maybe even be a part of the ongoing investigation and court case that Michael’s death has led to? Some gatekeepers they are..

Even though we were just a couple of people that asked critical questions, it seemed like it got to be too much for them to handle. Right now they haven’t been writing on Twitter for a couple of weeks and one of their last tweets are:
“We are writing a positive book about MJ, we expect the media to criticize us but coming from a FAN! U can keep your Negativity to yourself” 

So they took it as criticism from us. It wasn’t planned to be . We were just concerned when realising that they were in possession of private documents, and ready to use them for their book. I think it is fair to ask them clarify these issues.

But I do find it suspicious that they are not ready for the dialogue with the fans, if their book are so positive and protective as they say it is. They should not only be ready to defend The King, but also to defend their own decision to write this book.

What is the reason that no one wants to publish it? Is it because it is a positive book or because it is the opposite?? Are they doing this for their own sake ~moneywise, or it is like they say all for charity?? God knows it got a lot of PR already, and a large group of fans is just waiting to buy the book, so it is a success even before it is printed.
But when you hire a bodyguard you do count on their confidentiality, and the last thing you’ll expect is that they would write a book about you right??

This is of course just my own personal opinion. With them being very quite about their intentions and not answering questions, lead me and others to change our opinions about them and the book.  The bodyguards are of course more than welcome to write a blog here or comment on this blog anytime, but I doubt they ever will.
