Did Michael Jackson get away with it? Krissy's unfiltered opinion on power, money and fame.
A table of twenty-somethings told Krissy he was great. Her book club calls him a monster. Same man, two verdicts.
One topic. One opinion. No filter. Why she believes fame and money bought decades of silence, how abusers groom the parents and not just the kids, and why a whole generation still refuses to believe it.
