The video is 24 years old, but only now have people stopped to really look at it. 🧐
It’s 2001, and the sessions for What More Can I Give are being recorded—the charity project Michael Jackson put together after the September 11 attacks. In the middle of the scene, a very young Beyoncé appears on the phone, sitting on the lap of Marc Schaffel, one of the project’s producers.
No one claims that anything improper happened there; the video doesn’t prove it. But what came next is known: Jackson’s team dropped Schaffel as soon as they discovered that he came from the adult film industry. That single coincidence was enough for social media to start asking questions. 👀
