Pryor: Accusers Shall "Do The Right Thing"
In 2005, Azja Pryor testified in the Michael Jackson molestation trial which ended in Michael's acquittal on all counts.
Pryor is the mother of Chris Tucker’s son. She said she spent a lot of time with Michael’s accuser and his family and now has some harsh words for them.
“I don’t know how they sleep at night… knowing that they accused someone who they called their friend… of the ugliest, most heinous thing you can say about a human being.
It’s time for [the accuser] to finally stand up and do the right thing. He is an adult. He knows… he’s always known that Michael never touched him, Michael never abused him.”
Feeling betrayed, Pryor called the accuser’s 2003 claim that Michael Jackson molested him “outrageous.”
Last week, Pryor wrote an open letter to the accuser, asking him and his family to step forward and clear Michael Jackson’s name.
Pryor only met Michael Jackson once – at his trial – but the entertainer hosted her and Chris Tucker’s son’s birthday at Neverland. Pryor said she and her son spent a lot of time with the accuser and his family, lending their support during his cancer battle.
When asked why she believes Michael Jackson didn’t molest his accuser, Pryor said:
One night, when Pryor spent the night at Neverland, she claims the kids were begging to stay in Michael Jackson’s room, even though he wasn’t there.
“When I thought of what the accuser was saying Michael did, I thought to myself ‘What child would want to go into the room where these awful things were happening to them?’
I think that they felt like Michael should have done more for them. Financially… Maybe what Michael’s camp was willing to do was not enough. I don’t know, but somewhere around that period of time something went wrong.”
