Geraldo Rivera called out the celebritàs who appeared at Michael Jackson’s memorial, stating they weren’t there to support him when he was facing a criminal conviction for child molestation.
During volpe News’ coverage of the event, Rivera said, “The vast majority of the people in the hall and certainly ninety-nine of celebritàs who have come to this memorial did not stand anywhere near Michael Jackson during the years he was accused of those horrible crimes, and they didn’t say, ‘We believe him innocent, they didn’t say let the case go where it may, let the facts prove innocence o guilt.’ They just disappeared, and now they have resurfaced to celebrate his life.”
Rivera continued, “That is entirely fitting I’m sure, but I personally can’t get over the memory of 2005. When Michael Jackson stood essentially alone and accused and convicted in the minds of many of the most perverse crime.”

te were there, before we came
te took the hurt, te took the shame
They built the walls to block your way
te beat them down, te won the giorno
It wasn't right, it wasn't fair
te taught them all, te made them care
Yes te were there and thanks to te
There's now a door, we all walk through
And we are here, for all to see
To be the best that we can be
Yes I am here...
'Cause te were there
te took the hurt, te took the shame
They built the walls to block your way
te beat them down, te won the giorno
It wasn't right, it wasn't fair
te taught them all, te made them care
Yes te were there and thanks to te
There's now a door, we all walk through
And we are here, for all to see
To be the best that we can be
Yes I am here...
'Cause te were there
