About this listen

The explosive, definitive account of Michael Jackson’s fall from grace has now been updated with four new fascinating chapters. Award-winning journalist Diane Dimond, who first broke the story of the King of Pop’s battles against child molestation charges from 1993 to 2005, takes you behind the scenes and into the courtroom of one of the most controversial cases of the decade. This audio version gives listeners a dramatic glimpse of one reporter’s vigilance and unending quest to uncover the truth.

Michael Jackson has long captured the world’s attention, first as the dynamic lead singer of the Jackson Five, then during his highly successful breakout solo career. But somewhere along the line, Jackson transformed himself into something hardly recognizable and was investigated - not once, but twice - for crimes we could hardly imagine. Even now, after his unexpected acquittal on multiple charges of child molestation, there is a sense that the real truth behind the allegations is not known.

The character of Michael Jackson - from his humble beginnings to his rich career and the birth of Neverland Ranch - is destined for great debate among fans, journalists, historians, and psychiatrists for years to come. In the meantime, there is Diane Dimond, the journalist of record on the Jackson case. In November 2003, when the Santa Barbara county sheriff’s department conducted another raid on Neverland Ranch, Diane Dimond and her camera crews were the only ones there to capture the moment and report the news to the world. Now, for the first time, Dimond recounts the multifaceted details of the Jackson case, utilizing her extensive notes and sources. What she tells us is a shocking story.

Be Careful Who You Love will take you behind the scenes and into the courtroom of one of the most controversial cases of the decade, while giving listeners a dramatic glimpse of one reporter’s vigilance and unending quest to uncover the truth.

Factual journalism. Extremely well-researched, written and spoken. This book is written very professionally in a reporter style. It does not shy away from a difficult and controversial topic and Diane Diamond, a mainstay of 80s Hard Copy, has applaudable courage to report events and fact-check them in the face of adversity and at personal risk to herself. Disgusting though it is, Jackson fans will attack the book, but it is one of the truest books I've read on the first-hand accounts, testimony and evidence presented in court and how things happened and were stated blow by blow. This is what a real journalist should be.

This is basically a factual summary of accounts and trails MJ went through regarding peadophilia. Even latoya Jackson admitted she was suspicious of MJ, there's plenty of YouTube videos of her interviews from back in the day

Great summary

This book would have been really good had the narrator hadn’t said literally every sentence ‘quote’ ….’end quote’. Really annoying.

So annoying

This book is questionable but here's something factual .
'Hard Copy is an American tabloid television show that ran in syndication from 1989 to 1999.'
