Long before Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ run-in with the law, the late Michael Jackson came under scrutiny after accusations of child abuse were made against him. Although the pop star was ultimately acquitted, some people had a hard time accepting his innocence. Now, over a decade after his unfortunate passing, the case against the King of Pop has been reopened. With the timing of the revisit, social media has burst into flames with rumors that it could be linked to the federal charges against the rapper.
In fact, both supporters and critics of the late pop icon have weighed in on the issue. However, there seems to be a rather thin line between what is real and what is fictional. With netizens taking to social media to share their takes on the matter, a few rumors like a connecting tunnel have made their way to light.
Are Michael Jackson and Diddy’s cases related?
Just two months ago, reports fromNBCrevealed that the lateMichael Jackson’s2005 charges of alleged child abuse were being reopened. With the two victims, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, appealing their previous lawsuits against the star, a lot of eyebrows were left being raised. However, netizens onXhave taken it one step further with claims that the pop star and the rapper Diddy may have had an unlikely connection.
Ever sinceDiddy’sarrest charges of racketeering, s*x trafficking, and transportation made their way online, netizens have been coming up with absurd conspiracies. Posts on social media platforms likeXclaimed that there was a connecting tunnel that led from the rapper’s house to Jackson’s. However, those claims have been shut down by a fact-check done byReuters.

While the claims of a tunnel from underneath Diddy’s house turned out to be fake, the reopening of the pop star’s case was far from it.
Why Michael Jackson’s case has been reopened
Michael Jackson’s life has been both a rags-to-riches tale and a narrative weighed down by controversy. As a global superstar, the pop star’s fame and wealth made him a beloved figure, yet his eccentricities and private life often attracted scrutiny.
In 2013, after the icon’s passing, two lawsuits by Wade Robson and James Safechuck were brought to light. Although a lower court judge dismissed the charges, reports fromNBCstated that a three-judge panel claimed that the lawsuits should not have been dismissed. The higher court judges even issued a statement to clarify why the case was being revisited.
A corporation that facilitates the sexual abuse of children by one of its employees is not excused from an affirmative duty to protect those children merely because it is solely owned by the perpetrator of the abuse.
The judges also wrote,“It would be perverse to find no duty based on the corporate defendant having only one shareholder. And so we reverse the judgments entered for the corporations.”With Robson and Safechuck being given another shot at being heard, there is no doubt that they will make the best of what they are given.
