Synopsis

The explosive, definitive account of Michael Jackson’s fall from grace has now been updated with four new fascinating chapters. Award-winning journalist Diane Dimond, who first broke the story of the King of Pop’s battles against child molestation charges from 1993 to 2005, takes you behind the scenes and into the courtroom of one of the most controversial cases of the decade. This audio version gives listeners a dramatic glimpse of one reporter’s vigilance and unending quest to uncover the truth.Michael Jackson has long captured the world’s attention, first as the dynamic lead singer of the Jackson Five, then during his highly successful breakout solo career. But somewhere along the line, Jackson transformed himself into something hardly recognizable and was investigated—not once, but twice—for crimes we could hardly imagine. Even now, after his unexpected acquittal on multiple charges of child molestation, there is a sense that the real truth behind the allegations is not known. The character of Michael Jackson—from his humble beginnings to his rich career and the birth of Neverland Ranch—is destined for great debate among fans, journalists, historians, and psychiatrists for years to come. In the meantime, there is Diane Dimond, the journalist of record on the Jackson case. In November 2003, when the Santa Barbara county sheriff’s department conducted another raid on Neverland Ranch, Diane Dimond and her camera crews were the only ones there to capture the moment and report the news to the world. Now, for the first time, Dimond recounts the multifaceted details of the Jackson case, utilizing her extensive notes and sources. What she tells us is a shocking story. Be Careful Who You Love will take you behind the scenes and into the courtroom of one of the most controversial cases of the decade, while giving listeners a dramatic glimpse of one reporter’s vigilance and unending quest to uncover the truth.

Everything you ever wanted to know about the subject, that's for sure. Basically, it all comes down to "if it walks like a duck..." And there were so much witnesses seeing the duck walking it's impossible to deny the fact.......more

Oh, the wacky world of Michael Jackson! OK. Just to get it out of the way, since the environment around these books are kind of "split" into those who believe Michael Jackson was a misunderstood 10 year mentally regressed man, who wouldn't touch a child, usually the staunch fans, and those who think......more

Goodreads review by Amy

What an eye-opener! Always a fan of Michael Jackson, I felt a need to "know the truth" when he died. I've followed Diane Dimond's career for the past 10 years or so and know she's become somewhat of an expert on Jackson and his legal issues, so I felt secure putting my faith in her. Admittedly, part......more

Goodreads review by Susan

I finally got around to watching "Leaving Neverland" and was curious about the history of the accusations against Michael, as I hadn't followed any of them in depth, although I did watch some coverage of the bizarre 2005 trial. I've never understood blind celebrity worship, and assumed that yes, sad......more
