Fan reaction was swift and extremely brutal toward news of the suicide of Evan Chandler, the father of the  first boy who accused Michael Jackson of molestation in 1994.

Facebook, Twitter and blog sites exploded with the passionate feelings of Michael Jackson disciples’ after Evan Chandler, the father of Jordan Chandler, was found in his luxury seaside apartment in New Jersey with a single, self-inflicted gunshot wound.

“Karma is a -----,” writes Delonda of Chicago.

“Money is the root of all evil,” adds TJ of Atlanta.  

“Good. Let the liar burn in ----,” writes Jazz. “[Michael] settled because he wanted to move on with his life. The real question is why did the family settle. If your child was molested, there's no chance ... you would take the money. You would want that person in jail -- PERIOD. MJ is innocent."

Fans were unrelenting in their denunciation of Chandler even after they learned that the the 65-year-old ex-Beverly Hills dentist and aspiring screenwriter died as a brokenhearted recluse – destitute, depressed, isolated, drug-addicted and estranged from his son, ex-wives and family members.

Chandler survived recently off a monthly allowance that the court ordered his son, Jordan, to pay for a pre-determined period of time. That allowance was due to expire soon. Moreover, Evan Chandler had undergone multiple surgeries to alter his appearance to escape detection and the subsequent backlash from MJ’s innumerable fans.

“I hope this means that justice has been served,” writes Maria, before addressing Jordan directly. “Jodie: sorry for the loss of your father, estranged or not. You now must know how Michael's children and his numerous fans are feeling. Now that you are no longer under his influence, do the right thing and clear Michael's name. Clear your conscience so you do not end up like your father. Rest in peace, Michael. We will love you forever."

The King of Pop reportedly paid — or Epic Records' insurance paid — in excess of $20 million dollars to make the case go away and try to repair Jackson’s image and restore his musical career. Instead Michael became a social pariah and his national image was blunted irrevocably. Many fans see this as the beginning of the end of Jackson’s life. And they took this moment to air their still-simmering rage.

What makes fans even more suspicious of that 1994 molestation case was a recently released book by Ian Halperin, Unmasked: the Final Years of Michael Jackson, who wrote that Evan Chandler premeditatedly went after Jackson’s money after the King of Pop cut ties to the Chandler family. For those and other reasons fans unfurled the type of venom at the deceased Chandler that’s normally reserved for a foreign terrorist. 

“Justice has been served to the father,” writes Claudine, who sums up the sentiments of many. “Bet he was in a lot of pain prior to his death. That’s karma. The good or evil you do will go back to you in full measure. The son should speak up now and tell the truth or suffer the same fate. Nothing worse than destroying the life and reputation of a person with lies and deceit." –terry shropshire
