Diana Ross Surprisingly Speaks Out To Defend Her Friend Michael Jackson, Fans React
For decades, the iconic Diana Ross, has never been one to put her foot in hot water when it comes to controversy. Matter of fact, the Motown OG has managed to pretty much keep her nose clean no matter what was being said about her (i.e. the diva rumors, Supremes/Florence Ballard beef etc). So of course it’s now caught many by surprise to see the soul legend steppin’ up to defend her longtime friend, Michael Jackson.
The Leaving Neverland documentary has sparked a ton of controversy regarding the molestation claims that accusers, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, are now saying they endured from MJ. Celebs and fans alike have given their take on the situation and some music outlets are axing Michael’s music.
However, the boss, Ms. Ross and MJ go back like Cracker Jacks and were even rumored to have been romantically involved back in the day. Therefore, she could not couldn’t fight the urge to share a bold message about her late friend, regardless of the controversy.
In a rare move, Diana took to Twitter on Saturday (March 23rd) to share one supportive message for MJ:
“This is what’s on my heart this morning. I believe and trust that Michael Jackson was and is A magnificent incredible force to me and to many others. STOP IN THE NAME OF LOVE”
