Jacko's Ex Publicist Goes Off on Michael

31. I think that it is such a same that the man that gave us some of the world's greatest music and dance moves is being talked about in such a manner! Everyone that is on this site has demons that they all have to deal with and the iodit Micheal Levine leaving such comments, he didn't care too much about his health when he was working for him, but now that he is dead i guess that he feels okay that he discuss it with ohh the entire world. I wonder if this was Elvis Presely or even Johnny Cash would yall be making these comments. I am so sorry I forgot that everyone already knows about there "habits". Another thing is people have no respect fot the dead, and besides Farrah Fawcett died and why is no one talking about her and her mishaps in life!!!!!

32. What an incredible ass Mr. Levine is. Who would ever hire a publicist who clearly has an almost inhumanly poor sense the timing for issuing a statement to the media.

34. Michael Levine...you too live a life of high stress. The women in the hundreds possibly thousands you have slept with and ruined their lives, mostly young impressionable women who looked up to you, to the down right cheap antics you practice, the indecency you show to others as you coup yourself up in your overpriced condo surrounded by self help books. Look inward Michael. Look deep deep inside. As many people are saying the same thing about your lifestyle...when is it going to catch up with you. The grinch was saved, maybe you too could be.

35. MICHAEL LEVINE IS A JOKE. He knows it. Hollywood knows it. He is NOT Jackson's current publicist. He repped him (kinda) for a few months 15 YEARS AGO! He has had NOOOOOOOOO contact with MIchael since this time and barely even then. He might have met him ONCE and I'm not kidding!!

Levine is trying to get ATTENTION because he is severely in debt and can't sign clients.

DONT GIVE LEVINE ANY MORE ATTENTION!!!!! BOYCOTT LEVINE PEOPLE!!!!!

37. I don't think Michael Levine is trying to be cruel--Though I see where every one is coming from. He says that Jackson was human, and that a human being can only take so much.

38. I think we all kind of knew that Jackson's life hadn't found a peaceful balance, because his childhood stresses set him up for some trouble. But for me and no doubt millions of others, we kind of expect his musical successes to have brought him what he needed. But plastic surgery kept getting more severe, the other issues didn't seem to describe Jackson as having found his ultimate, free, preferred groove. Now he's dead. Cause? Cardiac arrest isn't good enough for me, I want to know why such a performer had that happen. Was is because he was so skinny? Imbalance of electrolytes? I'm willing to dig for those answers, because at this point I just don't see Jackson as having decided to quit the game of life.

39. I was a victim of Michael Levine. I was one of the THOUSANDS of young women he seduced and slept with and learned the absolute hard way. He preys on the weak so they can't defend themselves from predators like Levine. He makes statements about others to deflect the horrifying things about himself. I'll say this while Levine is alive...he is living a much more destructive life than Michael and afflicts this on the countless people around him. The only way he flies under the radar is he understands his craft of public relations. Levine, go back and hole yourself up in your overpriced condo surrounded by your self help books. I concur with the other post (s).

40. Because a PUBLICIST has the same credentials as a DOCTOR. Bad PR move, mister. It's pathetic and disgusting that you are using Michael Jackson's death to bring attention to yourself. Your lack of courtesy, respect, and human decency doesn't show you in the most flattering light.

And comments regarding Michael Jackson's child molestation.. I was under the impression that in our legal system, it's INNOCENT until proven GUILTY, not the other way around. I'm not Michael Jackson's biggest fan, but lets give him the respect and peace that he deserves in death.

41. if being a publicist is your job wouldnt you think that a bit more thought should have gone into your statement? i get your point about the stress being unbearable for any human being but to say that you saw this coming? insensitive and horrible wording from someone whose job it is to make sure things come across the right way.

42. As someone who once spent a regrettable 3 months interning for Michael Levine, I'm not surprised by the horrible things he said about the late Michael Jackson. Mr. Levine was only interested in getting HIS name out to the press (like today) versus focusing on what few clients he still had. Mr. Levine, have respect for the decesased. Oh, but that would mean you need to have class.

43. I hope Mr. Levine expands on his comments to enlighten us a little more. Michael was an unusual person, I think so monumentally talented that he reached higher than this life can allow....for fulfillment.....I hope he has it now, in whatever dimension he now inhabits, because I don't think he would have achieved that goal on earth. As I looked at his belongings from Neverland at the subsequently cancelled auction, I noticed his poetry, warning children of the the threats and dangers of the real world, and inviting them to go with him to a world beyond the reality that we know to a place of peach and beauty, where everyone played and froliced in a giant playground never to be touched by the darkness of the real world. Such poetry he had printed on the "Neverland Anytime Children's Menu" of cheeseburgers, pizza, finger foods, etc. Really a fascinating man - I think always in search of a Peter Pan world, a place where he could really express the boundlessness of his love of life and fulfill his larger than life talents and creative abilities.
