A former maid, Adrian McManus, has sparked new controversy regarding Michael Jackson. She alleges that the pop icon secretly recorded young boys at Neverland Ranch.
McManus, who worked for Jackson from 1990 to 1994, claims that surveillance footage still exists. She states that these secret recordings of Michael Jackson could be crucial evidence in lawsuits against his estate.
McManus asserts Jackson’s private areas, like his bedroom and secret chambers, had hidden cameras. She believes he kept tapes of his time with kids. For Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who accused Jackson of molestation, these recordings could be game-changing. Both have fought the estate in court for years.

Michael Jackson Secret Recordings: What We Know
McManus says Jackson recorded in his zoo, cinema, and bedroom. A trusted aide once warned her the footage was “very incriminating.” After the 2019 documentary Leaving Neverland, she backed Robson and Safechuck’s claims. She recalls Jackson hosting young guests, often alone for hours. In 1993, Evan Chandler accused Jackson of abusing his son, Jordan. A police raid followed, but no hard evidence surfaced.

McManus insists staff hid evidence after the allegations. She claims files, drives, and Michael Jackson secret recordings vanished. “Investigators missed a lot stored in a security office,” she said. Though unrecovered, she believes loyal aides might hold the tapes. McManus wants them public—to clear Jackson or heal his accusers. “I hope the truth comes out,” she added.
The legal fight rolls on. The hunt for these alleged recordings remains a key puzzle in Jackson’s legacy.
