\nPryor, the mother of Chris Tucker\u2019s son, said she spent a lot of time with Michael\u2019s accuser and his family and in a new interview; she has some harsh words for them.
\n\u201cI don\u2019t know how they sleep at night\u2026 knowing that they accused someone who they called their friend\u2026 of the ugliest, most heinous thing you can say about a human being.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s time for [the accuser] to finally stand up and do the right thing,\u201d she told Access Hollywood. \u201cHe is an adult. He knows\u2026 he\u2019s always known that Michael never touched him, Michael never abused him.\u201d Feeling betrayed, Pryor called the accuser\u2019s 2003 claim that Michael Jackson molested him \u201coutrageous.\u201d
\nLast week, Pryor wrote an open letter to the accuser, asking him and his family to step forward and clear Jackson\u2019s name.
\n\u201cThey told me that Michael was the one who helped cure this child of cancer,\u201d Pryor recounted to Access Hollywood of her conversations with the family.
\nPryor only met Jackson once \u2013 at his trial \u2013 but the pop star hosted her and Chris Tucker\u2019s son\u2019s birthday at Neverland.
\nPryor said she and her son spent a lot of time with the accuser and his family, lending their support during his cancer battle.
\nWhen asked why she believes Jackson didn\u2019t molest his accuser, Pryor said; \u201cI was present when [the accuser and his sibling] were at Neverland. I spoke to these children several times a day, a day when this was supposedly happening.\u201d
\nOne night, when Pryor spent the night at Neverland, she claims the kids were begging to stay in Jackson\u2019s room, even though he wasn\u2019t there.
\n\u201cWhen I thought of what the accuser was saying Michael did, I thought to myself \u2018What child would want to go into the room where these awful things were happening to them?\u2019\u201d she told Access.
\nPryor claims the accuser\u2019s allegations of molestation happened after he appeared holding hands with Jackson during Martin Bashir\u2019s documentary, \u201cLiving with Michael Jackson.\u201d
\n\u201cI think that they felt like Michael should have done more for them,\u201d Pryor said. \u201cFinancially\u2026 Maybe what Michael\u2019s camp was willing to do was not enough. I don\u2019t know, but somewhere around that period of time something went wrong.\u201d
\nAccess Hollywood was not able to reach any member of the accuser\u2019s family or a rep for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
