Michael Jackson Speaks to Geraldo Rivera about Eminem – MJEOL Bullet #219 Jackson thanks his fans for their support and blasts rapper for wretched video & song In a Fox news exclusive phone interview with Geraldo Rivera today (Nov 11 2004), Michael Jackson talked about the disgusting and childish video ‘Just Lose It’ by Eminem (m&m). Standing outside in Times Square with dozens of fans, Rivera hears from Jackson about the “demeaning and disrespectful” video from m&m. He also says that there is a pattern of conduct in m&m’s behavior which is very demeaning to a number of people as well as the black community. Contrary to a recent Associated Press article on the matter, there were more than “16” fans outside as evidenced by the video taken when Rivera was speaking to Jackson. Jackson also took time out to thank the fan-initiated support that he’s been receiving around the world. In London over 4,000 people attended a fan rally in his support recently. And he showed his appreciation for the fans that decided to rally in New York today (Nov 11 2004). From the interview:

I wanna thank my fans for their strong support over the years. They could’ve been anywhere today, you know, and they chose to be in New York in Times Square. And I wanna thank them from the bottom of my heart. They’ve written thousands and thousands of letters and have made hundreds of calls regarding the Eminem video. And I love them so, so much.
