In the wake of the report concluding Bashir deceived Princess Diana into doing her famous interview, Jackson’s nephew, Taj, and MJ’s brother, Tito, now allege Bashir “manipulated footage and unethical journalism.” The pair believe Bashir tricked Jackson the way he tricked Diana. Taj blames Bashir on Michael’s death, saying, “Bashir’s manipulated footage and unethically journalism is one of the main reasons my uncle Michael is not here today.” Taj wasn’t done, adding, “That 2005 trial broke him. Shame on those who provided cover for Bashir. Shame on those who rewarded him. My family deserves an investigation & apology too.” Jackson’s former bodyguard, Matt Fiddes, told the Mirror the Jackson family is considering taking legal action.
