Mac culkin and Corey Feldman have both talked about MJ positively many times in the past few years.

Corey Feldman is the reason I don't believe the accusations against MJ. What that kid went through is horrific and predators can smell prey a mile away. If Michael was abusing kids there is no way he would have missed that one, Corey would have been an easy target after what they did to him. But Corey comes out and tries to shine a light on the things that are happening and specifically says that Michael never did anything inappropriate.

I mean that's great and all but a real source would be nice. Someone who was a kid speaking nicely about someone accused of harming kids, isn't an exoneration. That's like Kanye saying Nick Fuentes isn't racist.

Note not taking either side on the topic. I don't know or really care that much on MJ, an actual useful source would be say an epstein letter where epsteins announcing they want to make MJ look guilty. Fully plausible that MJ's scandal was a combination of people saying he's weird, with a few chasing a paycheck. But someone who fits the demographic saying "I was around him for years and I was never abused", is IMO not evidence.
