“I’m gonna begin with the line — it’s not a line, it’s the truth — he never did anything to me. I never saw him do anything. And especially at this flash point in time, I’d have no reason to hold anything back. The guy has passed on. If anything–I’m not gonna say it would be stylish or anything like that–but right now is a good time to speak up. And if I had something to speak up about, I would totally do it. But no, I never saw anything; he never did anything.”

Variety also noted that Culkin testified in court in defense of Jackson back in 2005 but that was the last time he saw him before his death in 2009.
