Friends Jump To Michael Jackson’s Defense

*NSYNC star Chris Kirkpatrick, Nelly, LL Cool J, and Usher were amongst the stars who weighed in on the controversy now surrounding Michael Jackson. Kirkpatrick said, “It’s really hard, you know, to watch Michael Jackson and to have people who don’t really know him saying all these things about him. That’s Michael, you know, that’s somebody that we respected. We grew up idolizing him you know.”
