A new TV docuseries is set to expose never-before-heard audio recordings of Michael Jackson, offering a disturbing glimpse into his private thoughts on children.
The recordings allegedly reveal Jackson's deep and unsettling feelings about his infatuation with kids, some of which may raise questions about his mental state and intentions, as reported by the New York Post.
Michael Jackson’s Dark Confession
In one particularly haunting moment from the tapes, Jackson is heard telling someone: “If you told me right now, 'Michael, you could never see another child…' I would kill myself.”
Jackson also reportedly states: “Kids end up falling in love with my personality. Sometimes it gets me into trouble.”
Unseen Footage Sheds Light on His Relationship with Gavin Arvizo
The audio tapes provide a fresh perspective on Jackson's bond with Gavin Arvizo, a young cancer survivor who would later accuse him of sexual abuse during a 2005 criminal trial.
The unseen footage shows Jackson and Arvizo spending time together, including solo picnics on the grounds of Neverland Ranch.
Jackson, who famously admitted to sharing his bed with children, was cleared of all charges in the 2005 trial.
He faced 14 charges, including four counts of child molestation and four counts of administering alcohol to a child in order to exploit him.
Jackson was acquitted of all charges, but the trial and its aftermath left a permanent mark on his legacy.

The Tapes Offer an Unfiltered Look Into Jackson’s Mindset
“These are very uneasy phrases and language to hear from a single man in his 40s,” the insider continued, commenting on how Jackson justified his actions.
Jackson is heard explaining that he saw no issue with bringing children to his home, or even to his bed, without parental supervision.
He portrayed himself as a “just a friend” wanting to help, attempting to rationalize his behavior as something innocent.
Jackson also discussed his relationship with Gavin Arvizo, whose battle with cancer had touched him deeply.
At one point, Jackson described telling Arvizo that he looked like an angel.
The tapes provide a rare and deeply emotional insight into Jackson’s interactions with the boy, which seem to blur the lines between compassion and something more complicated.
Tom Anstiss, executive producer of The Trial, stated that the unheard audio recordings offer an unprecedented glimpse into Michael Jackson’s psyche.
“They deliver a new understanding of who Michael Jackson really was, what he thought, and the seismic moments that shaped his life,” Anstiss explained.
