Radio Host Speaks About Michael Jackson
During the eventful broadcast of At Large With Geraldo on February 7th, Armstrong Williams phoned in speaking on behalf of Michael Jackson, after speaking to the King of Pop earlier in the day. He and Geraldo Rivera discussed the people in Michael's life, the case, and Michael himself.
His phone call came immediately after Rivera had given his other guest Jamie Masada some tough questions, and had stated that the comedy club owner was a liar. (For more information on this particular part of the show click here)
"I have been a critic of Michael in a very constructive way, but there are so many people running around claiming they're close to Michael, claiming they introduced him to different kinds of people. Like you, (referring to Rivera) I spoke with Mr. Jackson earlier today at length, he has no idea who this guy (Masada) is, has never spoken to him in his life, and obviously you have outed this guy".
Armstrong continues, "Michael Jackson is just sick and tired of people running around speaking in his name and telling untruths. This man is under a lot of pressure, he has some serious allegations against him, and he wants people out there speaking for him who really knows him, and this Jamie Masada does not know Michael Jackson. That's why he's struggling with you on the air because you've outed him."
The radio host then goes on to talk about the media's role in this case, "the media is willing to give people like Masada credibility because they assume he is close to Michael Jackson. I think we all need to take a step back and say look, yes we've criticised him in the past, but he is innocent until proven guilty, we should be mindful of the sources we put on the air, and make sure that their credibility is intact before we give them air time to run around making these allegations about Michael Jackson which you've just shown to be absolutely not true."
Rivera and Williams then discussed how Michael seemed to them when each of them spoke with the King of Pop. "My take on Michael today was he was very depressed, almost distressed by what's happened, he did not sound well to me, how did he sound to you?" Rivera posed the question to Williams, who responded, "Well you know what Geraldo, I got a different Michael Jackson, he was very upbeat, he was spirited, he had a lot of strength, he said he was in charge, he was running things, for the first time he has a publicist that he trusts, Raymone Bain, he's realised a lot of people around him have exploited him, he's taken back control of his life because he feels it's his credibility and his reputation, his life that is on the line and he's gonna start running things since he's the best person to do it."
Williams ends his phone conversation with Rivera by talking about what he thinks may happen in the future, "I think some heads are gonna roll, I think he's bringing in the new management team, I think you may be in shock about some of the decisions he's probably made for what's in his best interests in the future that relates to these allegations against him."
