THREAD: In 2013, Wade "It's time for me to get mine!" Robson debuted his tall tale accusations to universal disbelief, even among heavily guilt-centric audiences.

Of all pundits, Harvey Levin & TMZ staff were actually the most vocal in pointing out the absurdity of his claims.

When the details of Wade's claims first emerged and following his NBC tell-all, the overwhelming majority of TMZ's userbase (who have always been critical of MJ) also doubted them.

- 92% Didn't Believe Wade (168,500)
- 75% Wade Big Fat Liar (412,713)
- 75% MJ Not Pedo (612,329)

Initial sources in TMZ's circle suggested Wade's claims were based on "repressed memories" - The unfounded junk science commonly used in false CSA accusations (including those made against MJ by Kapon and Bartucci Jr.).

Wade made a point to tell Lauer it wasn't repressed memory.

TMZ correctly noted the lawsuit was about "wanting money from the estate" despite Wade claiming otherwise.

They showed videos of people calling the claims out, including Omarion & Joe Jackson.

They included Mesereau quote: "Why call yourself a creditor if it's not about money?"

TMZ aired a phone call w/ Debbie Rowe who expressed staunch disbelief about these claims—Levin agreed.

DEBBIE ROWE: Wade's publicity-seeking attempt is opportunistic & oozes in falseness. It will quickly be forgotten and will do nothing to tarnish MJ's extraordinary legacy.
