Katherine Jackson, 81, spoke with Matt Lauer on The Today Show this morning, where she said that her son, pop star Michael, was not a child molester.
- "That’s the biggest lie ever been told.”
Lauer brought up that Jackson had settled with accusers out of court, and Katherine had an explanation; she blames her son's lawyers at the time.
- "They thought that just paying the money and shutting the people up would be the right thing to do. As soon as I heard [he'd settled,] I called him and said, 'Why did you do that? It makes you look guilty.' He said, 'I didn't want to do it either, mother, I wanted to fight it because I knew it wasn't the truth.'"
Michael's momma said that one of the accusers rescinded his story after the icon's death.
- “He confessed that Michael never touched him, and it was a big lie, and his father just wanted to be rich. And he said, ‘I’m so sorry I didn’t get to tell [Michael] this before he died.’”
It's been almost two years since Michael's untimely death. See what Katherine says she misses most about her son after the jump.
"I just miss him, period ... I miss his voice, I miss his singing," Katherine said.

We know Michael Jackson was innocent. Read "Dancing the dream", in that book Michael explains his pure love for children. The truth will prevail!
Yes, Michael had a pure love for children's

corn holes.
Happy the molester drug addict is dead!
Bless you Mrs. Jackson. We are always glad to hear you speak about your wonderful son. I know it's very hard for you each day.
She "finds comfort and solice in" DENIAL!! No parent wants to accept the fact that they raised a child molester. I didnt know he settled out of court. Its been my conviction he was guilty since I saw mj speak in his own words in the interview he gave claiming "theres nothing wrong with sleeping in the bed with other peoples children". It was his own behaviors, attitude & words that proved his guilt!!! That interview made my skin crawl. Im sorry but as someone who suffered from abuse in childhood I can tell you that many parents& family members who know children are being abused by adults will 'look the other way' and live in a state of DENIAL like mjs mom. That enables the child molesters-abusers to continue traumatizing children. Isnt it public knowledge that mj's father was VERY physically& emotionally ABUSIVE to ALL of her children!?!? And katherine jackson DID NOT CARE enough about her OWN biological kids to PROTECT THEM from her husbands abuse!! Had she done that it may have PREVENTED mj from becoming the monster he was. Maybe joe jackson molested mj during his childhood? katherine is the type of unwell woman who would enable and defend her child molesting son and abusive husband! She's a VERY sick and dysfunctional woman! I feel most sorry for mjs sons who lost their innocence to their own father. Its a good thing the Universe stepped in and took mjs life, sparing his sons from further abuse.
Katherine, you must be awfully nervous enough to bring up the child-molestation issues, since the police report with the cocaine traces found in your son's underpants was released. Why? Because the same forensic lab also diagnosed DNA from semen samples on his mattress pad, parts of his mattress, sheets, and underwear as belonging to not only Michael's, but three other males! By the way, Jordan Chandler has never retracted what he said. I suggest you shut up and go home. You're just making things worse, and the only ones fooled are his rabid fans.
Some of you people are so judgemental. The problem is you don't even know the true facts only what you have been told by the media, whose business is to report scandalous stories, because they know that human nature being the way it is, loves the gossip and that's what SELLS. Wake up people!!
