[b]Culkin’s father defends Jackson[/b] Wednesday, March 30 2005, 09:59 BST — by Daniel Saney Macaulay Culkin’s father has rubbished claims that Michael Jackson slept with the Home Alone star. Estranged father Kit Culkin, made unpopular by the media over his divorce and his actions as his sons’ agent, spent time at Jackson’s Neverland Ranch in the 1990s when his children went to visit the Bad singer. According to FOX News, Kit has now written a statement claiming that he saw no evidence of Jackson being a paedophile in the contact that he had with the star. [b]He and partner Jeanette Kryoski wrote: “I never saw or heard anything at all during my early days of knowing Michael to suggest that he was a paedophile. “My kids never slept with Michael. I need mention this because on the [Martin] Bashir program, Michael admitted that he did sleep with children; and well he may have, but he never slept with mine.[/b] “Whenever at Neverland, they always had their own quarters, as did their mother and as did I. Michael’s bedroom (an enormous room with a fireplace and French doors leading out to a private garden) was almost always an open place to hang out in, as was most all of the rest of the house. [b]”My children would sit on the bed, as would I, to play cards or checkers or watch television or whatever, but then we would do so most everywhere else also. They might of occasion fall asleep there just as they might of occasion fall asleep most anywhere else, and at most any daylight hour … “They’d fall asleep watching a movie at the movie theatre or playing with the toys trains in the toy trains room and there was one occasion, I well remember, when one of them was actually found asleep on the carousel! So, as I say, there was nothing in these days to suggest paedophilia.”[/b] Source: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds20292.html
