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.

I didn't pay to read on audible as I got a free credit and thought I'd give it a listen. I'm an MJ fan and I've always been open to hearing both sides of the argument. I'm the sort of person Diane ridicules and mocks from the opening chapter, for not being willing to see another side of MJ. She's quite wrong about a very large proportion of his fans, who as parents themselves have been very prepared to consider the question "Is there a dark side to Michael?". The fans have spent hours and hours viewing footage, reading documents, scrutinising everything! This makes it easy for us to add balance to the salacious headlines. Here's another slant on just a few of the points she makes in the first few chapters to prove how easy it is:
- the ex employees Diane claims saw MJ being inappropriate have also been convicted of stealing from him and were dismissed from his employment. Disgruntled ex employees maybe? These ex employees have also accepted six figures from tabloids to say they saw inappropriate behaviour.
-Diane claims children have been molested e.g. Macaulay Culkin, Emanuel Lewis and Brett Barnes. Yet to this day, they say nothing ever happened?
-She says MJ had Jordy on his lap at the World Music Awards and was bouncing him up and down for sexual gratification. There was a lady sat in the seat next to Michael with a little girl on her lap...is she a paedo now too? There were no available seats for the children so they all shared seats with the adults. What you are saying is...in front of cameras and hundreds of eyes on him, including the prince of monaco, MJ was openly rubbing up against Jordy? Really?!
-Diane suggests that because Michael was angry at the police photographing his intimate areas he must be guilty. Maybe he was just really distressed. I know I would be!
Whatever Michael did or didn't do, Diane Dimond always twists it towards her own conclusions of guilt. Instead of adding some reasonable balance to things, she chooses to draw twisted conclusions to even the most innocent of scenarios and then mocks fans for being too closed minded! She needs to take a hard look at herself. Someone once told me "people see in others what they see in themselves". Never a truer word spoken Diane!
The book is trashy and Di Dimond is just another journo trying to make a quick buck off a dead man. Sad.
No balance! Tabloid speculation in book form.

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.'
