Debbie Rowe, former nurse and donor for two of Jackson's children, married Jackson's former business manager Marc Schaffel who proposed to her with a 3.5 carat diamond ring. Debbie has faced criticism for allegedly "selling her kids like she breeds her horses."

In 2014 she and Schaffel flew to Brazil with Belgian pop star Ian Thomas, who the couple manage.

Schaffel had worked closely with Jackson before falling out with the singer before his death in 2009. Interestingly, his name came up in the 2005 trial against Jackson.

Cynthia Montgomery, a travel agent testifying under immunity in Michael Jackson's molestation trial said she had booked a $15,000 flight to Brazil for Arvizo's family. But she claimed she did it at the request of Schaffel, who was named by prosecutors as one of the unindicted co-conspirators in the Jackson case.

Prosecutors contended that Jackson's associates had planned to keep the Arvizo family in Brazil indefinitely in the aftermath of the Bashir documentary.

Montgomery said she booked the accuser's family on a flight schedule to depart for Brazil a month after the airing of the infamous documentary, in March of 2003. She said Schaffel asked her to book a one-way trip but she had to arrange a round-trip flight because Americans were not allowed to enter Brazil with one-way tickets. She said she arbitrarily chose a return date.

The accuser's mother testified that she orchestrated her family's escape from Jackson's associates by claiming her children had to visit their grandparents before they could leave for Brazil. The mother said the family left the Jackson's Neverland estate for the last time on March 12, 2003.

The Judge ruled that Jackson's ex-wife Debbie could testify as a prosecution witness. Debbie was locked in a legal fight with Jackson over custody of their two children Paris and Prince.

Prosecutors claim she took part in the so-called rebuttal video, a video Jackson aired on television to combat the negative publicity following the Bashir documentary, after she was promised access to the children if she did so.

Jackson, 46, was accused of molesting a 13-year-old boy, providing him with alcohol and conspiring to hold the boy's family captive to get them to rebut the documentary on tape.

In 2006 Schaffel claimed Jackson asked him to procure boys for him in Brazil.

Schaffel was a director for gay porn films before Jackson hired him as his manager.

EXCLUSIVE: Prasanna Puwanarajah said he jumped at the opportunity to appear in The Crown portraying infamous television journalist Martin Bashir, pummeled by a BBC inquiry that condemned the “deceitful” methods he used to obtain the controversial 1995 Panorama TV interview with Princess Diana, because ”roles like that just don’t really exist for Asian actors.”

The actor’s comments come as the UK print media continue to whip itself into a frenzied state over the Emmy-winning Netflix and Left Bank Pictures series, which takes a looking-through-the-keyhole approach to events that involved the late Queen Elizabeth II, her family and her prime ministers. Season 5, which begins streaming November 9, particularly zeroes in on the messy dissolution of Prince Charles (now King Charles III) and Diana’s 14-year marriage. Imelda Staunton (Downton Abbey, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) stars as Queen Elizabeth.

Puwanarajah (Doctor Foster: A Woman Scorned, Patrick Melrose, Ten Percent) pops up in two episodes of The Crown that explore not only how he secured the interview with Diana, but also the part played by senior BBC executives: Steve Hewlett (Michael Jibson), who as editor of Panorama was Bashir’s immediate boss; John Birt (Nicholas Gleaves), then director-general of the corporation; and Marmaduke Hussey (Richard Cordery), the patrician chairman of the board of governors of the BBC. Hussey happened to be married to Lady Susan Hussey (Haydn Gwynne), who served for decades as senior lady-in-waiting to the Queen. She’s also godmother to Prince William, now the Prince of Wales, who is portrayed by Senan West, son of Dominic West, who’s compelling as Charles as is Elizabeth Debicki who plays Diana.

Princess Diana’s interview with Bashir was an immense hit for the BBC. In it, she famously said, ”There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded,” pointedly referring to her husband’s affair with his mistress Camilla Parker Bowles (Olivia Williams), now Queen Consort, wife of King Charles III.

Puwanarajah said there is extensive public documentation detailing Bashir’s scheme of deceit and forgery to obtain the Diana scoop. Season 5’s episode 8, titled “Gunpowder,” explores in detail how Bashir misled the BBC, Diana and her brother Earl Spencer (played by Philip Cumbus).

“We now know a lot of the facts surrounding Martin Bashir and how he obtained the interview,” Puwanarajah told us. “All of those things are a matter of public record now. There was an inquiry by the BBC and other investigations. It’s information that’s shared and sharable and is out there.”

”It’s a juicy role and parts like that just don’t really exist for Asian actors,” added the actor, who was born and raised in England and is of Sri Lankan Tamil descent.

”Like, that level of complexity, the moral dynamics of a man like Bashir, no one writes that material for us — it’s so rare,” Puwanarajah said.

He said it was an ”extraordinary opportunity and challenge” to inhabit Bashir. ”I’ve only seen those two episodes, the two that he’s [Bashir] in, and they’re powerful. It’s arriving at a particular time for the nation, isn’t it,” he said, noting the death of Queen Elizabeth II and Charles’ ascension to the throne.

The “Gunpowder” episode also shows explosive clashes that many media insiders were aware of between Marmaduke Hussey and Birt regarding the wisdom of broadcasting the Diana program.”This will destroy us,” Hussey is seen warning Birt in the show.

An independent inquiry was commissioned by the BBC after Earl Spencer led a public campaign that questioned Bashir’s tactics. Its findings — overseen by Lord Dyson, a retired senior judge — were published in May 2021, and disclosed that Bashir had faked documents and was able to gain access to Earl Spencer and his sister, and that the BBC covered up what it had learned about the methods Bashir used. The 127-page report said this ”fell short of the high standards of integrity and transparency which are [the BBC’s] hallmark.”

Shortly after the report’s publication, Prince William issued a scathing statement insisting that the Bashir interview ”was a major contribution to making my parents’ relationship worse and has since hurt countless others.”

William stated ”that this Panorama programme holds no legitimacy and should never be aired again.”

His brother Prince Harry’s 2021 statement was just as blunt: ”Our mother lost her life because of this,” he wrote, because of the ripple effect of ”a culture of exploitation and unethical practices.”

The BBC returned the BAFTA TV award it won for the interview.

Although The Crown episodes in question are set in 1995, they are, nonetheless, dramatized in such a way that they’re able to convey a sense of what was to come, and the immense harm it caused. ”We’ve dramatized the documentation that publicly exists,” said Puwanarajah.

Buckingham Palace has no powers to prevent Netflix from streaming The Crown, but it has let the streamer know of its displeasure via comments made by Judi Dench and John Major, who was Prime Minister during the period that involved Charles and Diana’s divorce. Some believe that ”friends” of the palace intervened through back channels to ”influence” Dench and Major to speak out. There’s said to be increasing anxiety within court circles over what’s to be shown in Season 5; Netflix said that The Crown’s storylines are handled sensitively.

Puwanarajah, meanwhile, is currently filming the six-part police thriller Payback for Britbox. ”It’s about organized crime and financial corruption,” he said. The actor plays a financial investigator ”who’s a bit of a nerd with a very bad suit and bad shoes,” he joked.

Puwanarajah was in Northern Ireland on Thursday for the world premiere screening and Belfast Film Festival opening of his feature directorial debut Ballywalter, a small gem of a film starring comedian Patrick Kielty (My Dad, the Peace Deal and Me) and Seána Kerslake (Bad Sisters).

have you watched house md? Do you like it? i know it is an insane telenovela style medical drama. but my question persists

i will watch almost any primetime doctor propaganda i have seen upwards of 10 seasons of grey's anatomy. yes i love house md. i actually can't remember if i ever finished it what a show. i think more television characters should be sad mean people who are high all the time and serve as conduits for the writers to explain why they hate poor people and love structures of authority ruled by degree-granting institutions. depictions of doctors and medical science are actually something i love to talk about lol i wish that somebody would write a sociological text on this because it's scattered through 'high' and 'low' culture, youtube channels, medtok, you name it and i don't think many people realise how much these depictions have changed even since the turn of the 19th century. if i were going to do this i would start by talking about middlemarch and arrowsmith and i would also find a way to connect nurse jackie and house's vicodin use to charles darwin's brother constantly huffing gas with his med student friends. also house md has a lot to unpack in terms of being an interpolation of the detective genre, which is like an entire dissertation you could write right there on the construction of a disease as a criminal outsider entity that can be tamed by the lone genius who opens his eyes to the dark and deviant side of humanity. truly genuinely such a fascinating cultural output

#somewhere in my drafts there is an imagined conversation between house and bashir ds9 and martin arrowsmith and tertius lydgate

Garashir junkies can I call your attention to this Depeche Mode song that is literally them

Depeche Mode - Perfect

On another world by another star

At another place and time

In another state of consciousness

In another state of mind

Everything was almost perfect

Everything fell into place

The jury reached a different verdict

Before the judge dismissed the case

In a parallel universe

That's happening right now

Things between us must be worse

But it's hard to see just how

And everything could have been perfect

Everything in the right place

Then I wouldn't have to play the suspect

Accused, abandoned, and disgraced

I didn't shoot, I didn't pull the trigger

It wasn't me, I'm just a plain and simple singer

I heard the sound, I turned my head around

To watch our love shot down

In another lonely universe

We're laying side by side

No one's hurt, and no one's cursed

And no one needs to hide

And everything is almost perfect

Everything is almost right

There are never any conflicts

There are never any fights

Everyone say thank you Martin L. Gore

I dunno how those stupid Community Labels work (we didn't have them in 2015, or at least I wasn't paying attn), but I posted the first chapter of Under Virgin Circumstances here, on Tumblr. Because I felt like it. It's already u/l at AO3 (but not published), I just need to get 3 done so I can format 2 & 3.

One post back. 🫴🏽🎀💕✨

"'As we have said before, the BBC will never show the programme again; nor will we license it in whole or in part to other broadcasters - the decision to show the interview is a matter for Netflix,' a spokesperson said."

Perhaps the most poignant scene in the documentary is where Michael sits with Bashir in his movie screening room, watching old television performances of him crooning 'I Want You Back' with The Jackson 5. The camera jumps from the young Michael - cute, brown, innocent - to the middle aged Michael - ravaged, white, and clinging to the illusion of innocence.

-Teresa Wiltz, The Washington Post
