Alright, my friends. To quickly recap what this is...these are the answers to YOUR questions. As I explained the other day, Karen Faye is in a position where she is unable to answer many of these questions due to various lawsuits and etc going on. But, with everything having come to the surface again, I believe that it is time that the truth is told, once more, in a place where we can all see it and remember it. Once again, please remember this: I am the one doing this because I am close enough with Karen that I HAVE these facts. In the last few days, people have approached me asking me to please clarify. To please say what the truth is, to clear up the confusion. And, so, that is what I am doing. I want to make it very clear though - this is NOT Karen's doing. In fact, she didn't really WANT me to do it. I had to convince her that it was worth it - because I believe it is. I believe in those who truly want to know. She eventually agreed - but this was nowhere near her idea. Karen has no sides to choose and no games to play. If anything here offends you, I ask you to take it up with me and not with her. Please remember - these are YOUR questions, guys, not mine. You asked. I am simply answering. This did get a little long, but there was no choice in order to answer everything properly. I'll do my best to keep it short as possible. Please be patient in return. :)
Once again, I did not and can not answer anything remotely involved with legal issues, AEG, anything of the sort. This is not what this is about. To those of you who have been upset about what you have been seeing lately - thank you for coming to me and trusting me. I do appreciate it.
Last thing I would like to make clear is that I am not writing this as an MJ fan. I am, of course, an MJ fan and always will be, but I am writing this as Karen's friend. This is truth I know only because of my friendship with Karen - not because I am an MJ fan. Alright. That's enough intro. Let's get to your questions.
1. What happened with MJJSource? What was Karen's role there? Why did fans not get their money back or what they were promised to them? And if none of it's true, why did Michael fire Karen in 2005?
MJJSource was a website that was created by Michael and Randy Jackson. Taunya Zilkie who was Randy's girlfriend at the time was involved with the website as well. Karen became involved with it a little bit later on. The purpose of this website was to keep Michael's fans around the world in the loop of what was really going on with Michael during those difficult years. Each person who worked on the website had different roles. Randy was in charge of many of the finances of Michael's life at the time. I am not entirely certain what Taunya's role was - I do know she did some design work and spoke with fans sometimes, but that is all I know. Michael, Randy and Taunya then asked Karen to sort of function as a liason between Michael and his fans. Fans would send in letters of support to Michael and Karen would look through them and take some of them to Michael to read in the mornings before court. Karen did not have anything to do with the day to day running of the website.
The money that fans talk about is what was called a "premium" membership. For $50, fans were offered this membership which was meant to include additional things than just being able to view the general website. Things such as being entered into contests, potential chats with Michael... things like this. Many fans paid for this, no problem. As time went on, fans began to feel as if they were not receiving what they had been promised. Fans sent in emails, which were I suppose, responded by whoevers job it was to respond to things like that. Karen was not one of those people involved in these premium memberships. Karen's job within MJJS remained the same.
I have been asked if it is true that Michael was unaware of MJJS. No. That is not true. There is, in fact, a video of Michael welcoming fans to HIS site, MJJS. Please feel free to see for yourself:
I have also been asked if it is true that MJ had no idea that fans were being charged for these premium memberships and that these promises were being made on his behalf. No. Randy and Michael discussed things like these contests (the example I was given is of Michael and Randy discussing fans having the opportunity to come to Neverland and have dinner with him.) While I can only speculate, I have to point out that MJ himself saying "welcome to MJJSource" and "the best is yet to come" kind of supports he had good plans for the website. I could be wrong though. That's just me guessing. Regardless, Michael knew about these things at the beginning.
Then, the trial began. It wore Michael down just as it would do to any of us. I cannot begin to imagine what that man went through everyday in that courtroom. To be fair, while I certainly know and agree that he loved his fans, I do not think MJJSource was at the top of his priority list - nor should it have been. That doesn't mean that he didn't care. That didn't mean he was no longer interested in the fans. Michael was working at living day to day and dealing with what he was going through. I do not know what Taunya or Randy were doing at this point though I certainly have no basis to accuse them of doing anything wrong either. What I do know is that once again... Karen was still doing her job. She brought Michael letters to read. Period. To be honest, Karen didn't even have the ability to post on the website even if she wanted to.
Then... the trial ended. Michael let. There were no dinners to be held at Neverland. There were no chats to be held with Michael. He left the continent. He had been through the ordeal of his life and I imagine his focus was on recovering. Spending time with his children. Things like that. By then, Michael wasn't really in charge of all the day to day going-ons with his finances - which makes perfect sense given the circumstances. He was otherwise occupied. And so MJJS was shut down. Michael was not even aware that the site had been shut down until someone told him about it.
Why didn't the fans get their money back? I don't know. I don't speak for Randy. I think that their intention was always to do what they had promised right up until the end. I do not believe there was any kind of "plan" to steal money. Once Michael left, Randy was no longer in control of MJ's finances. The people who were did not deem MJJS worth the time or money to keep it up and running and so it was shut down. At this point, what could Randy or Taunya do about the money? The site no longer existed.
There are plenty of stories about "MJ said" and "my friend told me that her friend told her that Michael..." I can't argue with those. I don't even know these people. I don't know if they even knew Michael let alone what he may or may not have said, why, when, how.. I work with what I know. And let me be clear - Karen doesn't lie to me to make herself look like an angel. She's always told me the truth and stood by her actions whether she felt she had made a mistake or not. Truuuust me, lol.
The situation was unfortunate. I understand fans getting angry. And I'll be the first to say I do not know all of the details. But I do know this - Karen Faye did not have access to a cent from MJJS. She took the letters that people wrote to Michael and read them to him/gave them to him to read. They lifted his spirits, I am sure. THAT is what Karen did for Michael during the "MJJS fiasco". And THAT to me deserves nothing but thankfulness from those who loved him. But that's just me.
Now, this firing business.
This is so silly to me. People say that Michael found out that Karen charged people $50 for premium memberships, got angry, and fired her. First of all, again, Karen had nothing to do with the money of this site. Second of all, there is NOTHING to suggest that Michael did not know what was going on with MJJS other than "a fan told me that Michael told them that..." Is that really enough to go by? But regardless of that..... let's be real for half a second. Michael LEFT. He did not FIRE Karen, he LEFT the continent. Also, just in case you needed more evidence, Karen was working for free (more on that in a second). It is difficult to fire someone who works for free. Also, Karen always worked as a FREELANCE MAKEUP ARTIST. Michael would book Karen when he wanted her services, whether by the hour, the day, the week, or productions such as a short film. She was never a payroll employee that COULD be fired. Her fee was always standard, and agreed upon before services were rendered, by Michael and his business associates.
This should show you how easy it is for stories to get twisted and turned. It was hurtful and completely untrue and it has been circulating for years. It was NEVER true.
Also, it is untrue that Karen and Taunya were banned from Neverland after the verdict. Karen spent some time with the fans outside and then she had to leave. She had a child. They had other things to do. She had spent months involved in a very stressful situation. She had been unable to service her other clients and had no income. (Again, more on that in a moment.) Her house was on the brink of foreclosure. Her fourteen year old daughter was living in a limbo situation. She needed to get back to her own life as soon as she could.
I also hear that Karen threw Michael under the bus and how horrible it was of her to do so. I disagree. I do not think she threw him under the bus, I think she just spoke the truth. I said I would not answer these questions as an MJ fan but as Karen's friend, so allow me to do just that. Michael DID leave. They COULDN'T run MJJs without him and his input. This doesn't mean he did something wrong. This doesn't mean he SHOULDN'T have left. No one is saying it is his fault that fans didn't get their money back. All she said was Michael left and there was no MJJS without him. Please don't turn that into something it isn't.
That's all I got for MJJS. If there is anything else you want to know, please ask.
Oh...although I do want to address the accusations of Karen being a "thief" for a second.
Once again, not as an MJ fan but Karen's friend - these hurt me. I want you to understand this how it is, guys. It is easy to judge her, I know it is. But I want you to just listen for one second.
Karen has a daughter. In 2005, Ali was about fourteen years old. Karen pulled her out of school, left her home and moved somewhere close by to Neverland. Every morning, EARLY in the morning, Karen woke up and went to help Michael get ready. She did all this for free. She did not get nor ask for a cent. She did this for her friend because she loved him. Because she believed in his innocence. Because she knew that what he had to go through was terrible enough....maybe it would help him just a little bit to have his makeup applied well or his hair taken care of. She also,I am sure, knew it meant a lot for him to have her support. This is what she did for him every morning for months straight. Along with reading him or giving him letters from fans to lift his spirits. She prayed with him. She did this because she wanted to. But for a bunch of fans who love Michael so much to take what she did for him.... and then try to talk about her stealing from him? Or taking advantage of him? That is so hurtful. She was there for Michael in a way that only a TRUE friend would be. She gave up everything for him. She took her baby girl who I KNOW she loves more than life and she went to be there for her friend. Most of you do now know what she almost lost because of it. But she wasn't interested in that. She was interested in being there for Michael. As fans of his, we should be THANKFUL to her for this. Please.... please. Think about what you say. How hurtful to accuse her of stealing from him after she did nothing but sacrifice everything to be there for him. And she's not asking for a medal. She's not even asking for recognition. Not at all. She did it because she wanted to. But to turn it into something evil and bad? That makes me so sad. If anyone ever proved their love and loyalty to someone..... there's a SHINING example.
Alright. That's enough of that. Just please consider it.
2. Karen got fired twice. Why does she say she didn't?
First, let me be clear: Karen said MICHAEL didn't fire her. And he didn't.
Now, we have already discussed 2005. Since people really seem to want to know about what happened during the History tour.... alright.
If you read Frank Cascio's book, you will see him also explain that people were ruthless around Michael. Especially the managers, accountants and lawyers. Anyone who had Michael's ear, was going to be attacked. Karen was not with Michael on a daily basis, but when she was, she was behind closed for hours and hours. Many were threatened by her. This was true, especially during this time. Tarak Ben Ammar, who was the advising international investor for Prince Al Waleed Bin Talal Bin Abdul Aziz who was funding the History Tour (because Michael could no longer get funding from commercial companies such as Pepsi because of the pedophile accusations) fired her. Not Michael.
When Tarak told Karen that she could no longer "converse" with Michael when she worked with him, she told him to "fuck himself". This set him on a mission to eliminate her. Also Debbie Rowe, Michael's wife, at this time wanted Karen gone and had a friend of her own in mind to take her place.
After the tour and after Michael got rid of Tarak, Michael called Karen and explained that he was sorry, but he was told if he did not follow Tarak's directions, he would not get the funding for the tour. What choice did he have? Debbie also apologized to Karen later for her part.
Okay? There's the story. This isn't new, by the way. Karen told me this years ago.
3. So, why didn't Michael call Karen to do his projects with him when he came back from Bahrain? Why did no one see or hear from her until TII? And besides...I heard AEG hired her, not Michael.
There were a couple of people that were deep in Michael's ear that had a huge desire to control Michael. Because Karen and Michael were so close (as she was around him pretty constantly and obviously a very close friendship grew.) and because Karen loved Michael and looked for him above anyone else in his little circle.... not everyone wanted her around. After these people were out of the picture, Michael called Karen back. Karen has always admitted that she does and did not ever always know everything that goes on between Michael, his business and those kinds of decisions. But these are the explanations that he gave her and she accepted them. They then moved on as if no time had passed between them at all. Michael asked Karen to work on TII. Everyone who worked on TII was under contract with AEG, no matter how they were brought onto the project.
4.. What happened with those TMZ pictures? Why did she post them and lie? Why did TMZ have them? If she didn't sell them, why did they watermark them? Why does Karen claim she never made money off of Michael but then did this?
Karen explained this herself today on Twitter but let me write it anyway so that it is recorded somewhere other than Twitter. Karen did take those photos and does not deny it. Karen took those photos around the time of the This Is It premier when everyone was happy and celebrating the release of this movie. Karen wasn't in a celebrating mood. Michael had died, that's why this movie existed. Furthermore, Karen did not agree that the fans should not be able to know or see anything about where Michael was buried. Was this her choice to make? I suppose that is a personal decision but it is irrelevant to the question being asked. When Karen posted the photos on her FB having NOT watermarked them, they made their way around the internet at the speed of light. Soon enough, TMZ had them. Karen DID, contrary to popular belief, contact TMZ.. TMZ told her that they do not give away sources and she will have to sue them if they want to find out the name of where they got them. There were already out there.... do you think it was worth it to sue? Eventually Karen did discover how TMZ got them and why it was okay for them to use the watermark ("okay" as in legal.) but I'm not sure that's my story to tell. The point is she took them and stood by them. When the Jacksons were upset by it, she apologized to them and they forgave her. That would have been the end of it..... if FANS did not make it their business to keep talking about it. She did not sell them. I am absolutely 100% certain of this fact. There is zero doubt. It is unfortunate that I cannot prove it... it is hard to prove someone DIDN'T do something. For what it's worth, if Karen HAD wanted to sell them, she wouldn't have posted them on her Facebook, say "look what I took" THEN try to sell them. Come on now.
Fans have brought up other examples where TMZ has taken fan pictures or what not and credited them or apologized for not crediting them and fixed their errors etc. This was not the same situation. First of all....these fans did not have THESE pictures. Let's be real, these were a big deal to people. Secondly, as I said, because of the way that Karen posted them, where and how she did it, etc etc... legally speaking,they didn't REALLY do anything to her by using their watermark. It was not ethical. It was not okay. But TMZ is smart. They know how to get around things and they knew damn well what they were doing. Shortly after this all went down, Karen got in touch with someone from TMZ who explained all of this to her, how TMZ found them, etc etc. I will say - be very careful what you post on Facebook!
Once again, even if you don't believe the above, which I understand is difficult to believe without proof.... on what planet would a person take photos, take credit for them, post them on their facebook THEN sell them? On what planet would TMZ bother to pay for photos that are all over the internet anyway?
Karen has also never been a friend to TMZ. And it's not like they haven't tried. Just sayin'.
5. Why did Karen make tens of thousands of dollars licensing photos to ABC? Why did she give an interview about him at all? Why did she charge Michael so much money in the first place?
I have no idea how much Karen, MLB and Dennis made on those licensing fees. I do not believe they made a cent off of the interview itself but when they chose to share a few cute and sweet photos, ABC HAD to pay a fee. It is standard procedure that in order for a network to show them, they HAVE to license them. So, yes. Karen allowed that to happen. She did not sell them. She still owns them. But in order to be able to share those photos with all of us in that interview, she had to follow procedure and law. This is not a problem. It is no different for anyone else on any network ever.
As to why she did the interview, I actually remember her going back and forth about it. At the end of the day, she wanted to publicly remember her friend. She wanted her truth to be out there. She wanted to, along with her friends, remember her friend, portray him for who he was not for who the media or these other so called "friends" crawling out of the woodwork was portraying him. The interview was classy and sweet and emotional. And yes. Karen and Bush discussed their final act of dressing and applying makeup on him. To hear fans use this as an insult is mind boggling to me. Do you have any idea how traumatic that was for her? Once again, she did it because she LOVES him. She didn't ask for sympathy or respect. But can people not give it to her anyway and not act as if it is even remotely okay to question or attack her for this? You really don't know what she went through at all, do you? I hope none of you ever have to find out. I truly do.
The figures you are hearing about what Karen charged Michael are incorrect. Please read that document being passed around very carefully and be aware of what it is. That is a lawsuit from Marc Schaffel trying to extort as much money from Michael as possible, after Michael parted ways with him due to Schaffels involvement in pornography. It is also a statement that refers to the videographers and photographers raising amounts to tens of thousand of dollars. Read it carefully. Karen is a very talented celebrity makeup artist. They do make a decent amount of money. That's no secret. But don't change the amount. She didn't charge more than someone else as talented and sought after as she was would have. Actually, her daily and hourly rate was BELOW what other makeup and hair artists charged. But, when Karen would work for days or weeks on one project, her invoices would certainly look like a lot to someone who does not understand the industry. For the record, her rate doesn't come close to $10,000 a day. Her rates were also always available for anyone who wished to inquire about her services on her website. Taunya spoke out saying the same thing the other day as well and as Karen and Taunya worked together, Taunya would obviously know. Yes, Karen was Michael's friend, but she still needed to earn a living. She did his hair and makeup and needed to get paid for that no matter how close the two were. Let's not start attacking someone for getting paid for doing their job now. Also - why would Michael hire her time and time again over a course of 27 years if he was dissatisfied with her rates? Really...
5. Why is Karen working for Gloria Allred who said terrible things about Michael? And why is she friends with LMP who ruined Michael's life?
I have to admit this made me laugh just a little. I'm surprised that the people who spend so much time on Karen didn't figure this one out long ago. This isn't even a little bit new. Now. Karen is, once again, a makeup artist. She does makeup for many tv shows and people. She did not seek out Gloria Allred. When it turned out that she would be on one of the shows that Karen would be working on, she had a bit of an internal debate. She ended up making the decision that she
needed to judge Gloria for who she was not for things she said about Michael in the past. Does this make her disloyal to Michael? I certainly don't think so. I hate what she said about Michael. I believe Karen did too. But that does not define her as a person. Karen made the wise and brave choice to get to know Gloria for who she was. She told Gloria who she was (when they first met, Karen didn't even tell her about her connection to Michael.) and the two of them went from there.
You know what else happened? It gave Karen the chance to educate Gloria. To tell her she was wrong about Michael and why. To ADAMANTLY tell Gloria that Michael was innocent. And Gloria listened and respects Karen and her POV. Do you guys remember Michael talking about how he felt that if he just had the chance to educate people (I believe he even used HITLER.) and to speak to them with love and to appeal to their hearts that maybe things would be different? That maybe he could make them see truth? Karen chose to follow this example.
As it turned out, Karen and Gloria have become friends and from what I hear, Gloria is a good friend to Karen. Karen would never ever throw Michael under the bus. Do not think for one second that Gloria sits there insulting Michael to her and Karen sits there agreeing. Would never happen in a million years. Karen just chose to see this woman as her own human being. When Gloria made the comment that she was concerned for MJ's children, we all rolled our eyes because we know the truth. She didn't. She didn't know Michael. Al she knew is hey.... these are the accusations... is someone checking into this? I do not, once again, like what she did. Neither does Karen., trust me. Like I said... Karen made the choice to judge her for who she is. And once again... Karen will defend Michael to Gloria and to anyone any chance she gets. Stop looking at this as her betraying Michael. Start looking at it as her educating someone on him.
As for Lisa Marie, this one gets me a little mad. Correct me if I am wrong, but there were two people in that marriage. Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley. My friends, we do not know what went down between them. We haven't the faintest idea. Did Lisa make some comments that maybe she shouldn't have? Sure did. But I have sure made some comments about my ex when I was mad too, lol. I think Lisa regrets some of what she said. But, she felt what she felt. How long should we all punish her especially considering we do not know the whole story? And absofreakinlutely, Karen and Lisa used to hate each other, lol. They didn't really know each other. Now they do. They got to know each other and they like each other. And so they are friends. Why this bothers people, I do not know, but like I said about Gloria, if you truly believe that Karen's friendship with either of these two means she doesn't love Michael .... I got nothin'. So ridiculous in my opinion.
Karen has the heart and the wisdom to judge people based on her own experiences only and to give people second chances. Michael means the world to her and always will. But this does not mean that she cannot judge Gloria or Lisa for who they are as individuals and form friendships with them.
Now, let me be clear. Karen is not a puppet for anyone. Especially not for Michael's fans; She is her own person. She stood up for Michael and was by his side, when most of Hollywood turned away (which was also Karen's client base/ By the way.). She defied her contact with AEG to tell the truth to his fans, while others were on TV spinning tales to sell an agenda and a movie. To take all of that and then question her love and loyalty to him continues to be mind boggling.
6. Why is Karen so arrogant and mean with the fans? What was with the hit list?
She's not. I will be the first to say that she gets impatient and that sometimes, like any human, she may read something wrong or react more harshly than she maybe should have... but my goodness. Karen is tired! The nonsense that she has gotten from some fans is the reason why other fans who didn't really do anything get what they feel is an "attitude" from her. Please understand she's not a mean person. If there was a misunderstanding, tell her. She'll hear you. And let me get personal for a sec? She met me as a fan. I was nothing more to her than another one of Michael's fans. And now, we adore each other as two human beings, lol. I do know that some people have been hurt and I do know it wasn't meant that way. It is hard to communicate everything on Twitter. Just approach her and explain. If you were blocked and it is important enough to you, ask someone else to pass on a message. Karen's not perfect. She makes mistakes. And, yes, sometimes she does get sarcastic or mean. So would you, I would imagine if you dealt with what she deals with.
I've already explained the list. I'll do it once more. A long time ago, there was a group that was set up for people who were angry or upset at Karen. I found out about the group, actually by accident. I told Karen about it. I then sent her a copy and pasted membership list of the people that were in this group as a bunch of them were being quite two faced acting like they were her friends and then in a group that was AGAINST her. I take full responsibility for sending her that list. Yes. She did post it on her page. No, she didn't tell anyone to attack anyone. I have heard people did get attacked. I am sure Karen would be mortified to learn what some people did to some of these people. But her only purpose in posting the names were to let people know that a) she knows what's up and b) that she was not going to allow people to be two faced on her page. Her Facebook was very personal for her despite how many people she had on it. She did not need two faced people on there. There is no such thing as a "hit list". It was a public membership list from a public Facebook group. Leave it alone or take it up on me. Do not accuse Karen of having a hit list. That is utterly ridiculous. When people say such silly things, they lose their own credibility, don't you think?
7. Why does Karen claim she's not BFF with Randy when we know she is?
Well, the short answer is she isn't. LOL.
The longer answer... Karen has truly severed her ties with everyone involving the Jackson's over the past year. Except for some of the fans that she's become friends with. She does not feel she knows enough about anything going on to choose a side or judge. Michael's life was so complicated....all she can do is state the truth about HER own experience and others will have to put the pieces together and form their own conclusions (preferably in a court of law..). She feels that her role in Michael's life ended when he died. To be honest, she has told me more than once that she sometimes wants to close down her Twitter account to fans....but there are so many sweet fans that she cares for that she really would miss.
8. Why do you care enough to do this, Steph? Why are you so loyal to Karen? Is she this loyal to you? I don't see her defending you...
First of all, to be clear once more - Karen didn't even WANT me to do this lol.
She really wishes that those who don't like her would just go their own way. She actually welcomes the controversy so she can block the people who reveal to her that they don't understand, or are hateful. She does this in her real life also. She has no trouble in walking away from people who are not open and do not create joy in their lives. She does not condemn them, she just chooses to live her life with people who support positivity whether online or offline. But I explained to her and convinced her that *I* wanted to this for the ones who have approached me with open minds and hearts and so she agreed to let me do it. This was allll me, my friends.
Which leads me to answer your question... why do I care enough to do this.
Firstly, I care about the TRUTH. Read through this blog. Read all of the things Karen did for Michael and how some fans twist them around to be something evil... do you guys see how easy it is to hate someone for nothing? While Karen doesn't lose any sleep over what MJ fans think of her, it bothers me because it is unfair. I don't like lies. And that's all I've seen lately.
Secondly, I care because I care about Karen. Not Michael's makeup artist. Not Michael's friend. But Karen. I'm not involved in any MJ fan competitions about who's closer to Karen why and how and who knows what - it's not about that for me. Not at all. We're friends because I love her. She's a wonderful person and a wonderful friend. Remember what I said about Karen judging Gloria for who she was as a human being not for who knew or what she did or didn't do? That's how I see Karen. I started off seeing her as MJ's makeup artist - of course I did. But then we moved on from that, pretty quickly actually. I saw her as her own person...and still do.
Now, this nonsense about everything being one sided and how she doesn't care about me and questioning her "loyalty".
I might get sappy now.....I don't care. People have no idea what Karen has done for me. I have NOT had a good year. Karen has been there for me every step of the way. Whatever happens, she's been there to check in on me to see if I'm okay. To remind me what I need to be focusing on. Telling me she's here for me and she loves me but also telling me what I NEED to hear however tough it might be to hear it because she cares enough to see me move forward and be okay. This woman is truly the big sister I never had. You all sit there talking about how I put myself out there for her and it's all one sided... you don't know. You don't know how often we talk and what we talk about and if you did, you'd still make it all about Michael. I do not worry for one SECOND about her "loyalty". If she wanted to, she could have caused me tons of drama and stress lol. She just doesn't scream out her defense of me all the time. (Though she actually HAS done so publicly more than once.) She is one of the only people on the planet that I trust completely and this is not because I'm blind or stupid but because of our history. And so yes. It was my turn to put myself out there for real for her. For her and also for the fans who asked me to do this. It is silly for those of you who do not understand why the lies about my friend don't upset me. Of course they do. And all of THAT is why I did this. All of that is why I care enough to do this.
9 My question wasn't answered. Why?
If it was a legal question or anything to do with anything remotely involving any lawsuits past or future, I cannot answer. If it was inappropriate I can't answer. If It as an attack disguised as a question, I can't answer.
If there is something else you want to know, if you want something else from above explained better, by all means, ASK. Let's get this taken CARE of already! Let's stop letting a few silly people scream their heads off and convince people that what they are saying is true. Let's let Karen have some peace finally after such a long time. You have every right to ask these questions - so ask 'em. Karen won't do a q and a. I had to ask her a few times before she'd let ME do this. She doesn't WANT to appear as if she's choosing sides or defending herself or anything like that. This is all me. I'm tired of watching the poor woman go through the abuse and the hate everyday when she didn't do anything to deserve it Please - if you disagree - if you have something to say - now's the time. Say it. You ALL know that I know enough to answer your questions. I don't claim to know everything about anyone including Karen, but I know enough to feel confident in all this. So please - ask away if there's something else. All I ask is that you ask me, not her. Leave her alone. I already had to work hard enough to get this to happen LOL.
Thank you SO MUCH to all of you who kept coming to me asking me to please explain the truth. It means so much that you care about the truth and that you trust me enough to ask ME to be the one who tell you. I hope that you were able to bear with me and read through this all. I hope you will share it. I will no longer stay quiet to protect people. My loyalty is to my friend (of course it is to Michael too, but that's not what this is about.). I will tell you what you want to know as long as I can. So - please. Let's take care of this for once and for all. And if you don't... if you ignore this and continue your silly comments - you will be demonstrating your true colors and how much you WANT to dislike her. And THAT will open up a whole new bunch of questions.
Last thing:
There are a group of fans that don't care what anyone says. They will continue to insult and dislike Karen regardless. It is up to you to use your minds to see what is true. Look through this blog. (I know it is long but worth it.). Look at all she did for Michael and how they managed to twist it into something horrible making her an evil demonic person. Use your minds. Come to me (or others) with questions. It is time for us all to start thinking for ourselves. If this blog taught you only one thing, I hope it is that it was very easy for these people to twist things into the utter opposite of what they actually are.
Communication is open. Challenge this. Ask anything you want. But if you do not and instead your just keep talking shit... well.... again, that's on you, isn't it?
Comments are modified only because I don't want fights breaking up while I'm not here. I'll unscreen everything appropriate. (Appropriate includes disagreements. Not attacks.)
Lots of love to you all. Thank you again for reading this. Please share it with your friends if you can.
