Michael Jackson's former publicist, Michael Levine, just released the following statement, claiming he saw today's tragic events coming for years.

"As someone who served as Michael Jackson's publicist during the 1st child molestation incident, I must confess I am not surprised by today's tragic news.

Michael has been on an impossibly difficult and often self-destructive journey for years. His talent was unquestionable but so too was his discomfort with the norms of the world.

A human simply can not withstand this level of prolonged stress.''

2. From one publicist to another, this was a down right stupid move on your part. It is the job of a good publicist to understand the reactions of their audience to each and every statement they produce. Clearly you have illustrated a lack of target knowledge at a critical time. May those who investigate your services in the future be reminded of the lack of knowledge, humility, and common sense you so blatantly put on display. Best of luck in your future.

8. This is not news and Doesn't deserve to be printed. Don't give this man any press. He should have stepped out when Michael was a live to defend himself. COWARD!!!

The world wasn't ready for this. Michael left a huge footprint on us all whether we admit it or not. Everyone in this world has either danced or sung to his music. We should all be thankful we witnessed his talent in our lifetimes.

10.
I and I am sure many others are not surprised by MJ's death but it is bad taste to make such observations so soon. You should have at the least waited until after the funeral.

I'm adding a MJ blog to my website - http://www.swindledforjesus.com

15. WOW... Someone just lost a son.. Three children just lost their father... and yet it is so easy for some people to post the nastiest things that they canthink of on this site. I am not religious at all, but I have to say.... Let the first person who is free from sin cast the first stone... Where is the compassion.. He was never convicted... For all of you MEN out there that are making rude comments... How would your life change right now if some child told someone that you touched them?? Lets say that you didn't... Would your life EVER be the same? It does not matter if you are innocent or not.. you will never be looked at the same... And as far as his publicist.. wow... what a horrible thing to do... jump onthe band wagon and slam someone who paid you in the past.. and now that person has not even turned cold yet, and you are slamming him.... Good Career Move...
