LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- In 2005, Azja Pryor testified in the Michael Jackson molestation trial, a trial that ended in acquittal for the pop star.

Pryor, the mother of Chris Tucker's son, said she spent a lot of time with Michael's accuser and his family and in a new interview, she has some harsh words for them.

"I don't know how they sleep at night... knowing that they accused someone who they called their friend... of the ugliest, most heinous thing you can say about a human being.

"It's time for [the accuser] to finally stand up and do the right thing," she told Access Hollywood. "He is an adult. He knows... he's always known that Michael never touched him, Michael never abused him."Feeling betrayed, Pryor called the accuser's 2003 claim that Michael Jackson molested him "outrageous."

Last week, Pryor wrote an open letter to the accuser, asking him and his family to step forward and clear Jackson's name.

"They told me that Michael was the one who helped cure this child of cancer," Pryor recounted to Access Hollywood of her conversations with the family.

Pryor only met Jackson once - at his trial - but the pop star hosted her and Chris Tucker's son's birthday at Neverland.

Pryor said she and her son spent a lot of time with the accuser and his family, lending their support during his cancer battle.

When asked why she believes Jackson didn't molest his accuser, Pryor said; "I 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."

One night, when Pryor spent the night at Neverland, she claims the kids were begging to stay in Jackson's room, even though he wasn't there.

"When I thought of what the accuser was saying Michael did, I thought to myself 'What child would want to go into the room where these awful things were happening to them?'" she told Access.

Pryor claims the accuser's allegations of molestation happened after he appeared holding hands with Jackson during Martin Bashir's documentary, "Living with Michael Jackson."

"I think that they felt like Michael should have done more for them," Pryor said. "Financially... Maybe what Michael's camp was willing to do was not enough. I don't know, but somewhere around that period of time something went wrong."

Access Hollywood was not able to reach any member of the accuser's family or a rep for comment today.

    I agree! If he had done what they claimed, why would they accept a settlement? I would have wanted the violater in jail. I don't believe MJ molested anyone. He's guilty of being too kind and loving. He gave so much of himself and his money to try to make other happy and got bit in the butt! He's at peace now and ALL those who are guilty of using/mistreating him will have

    i just know if it were me, i would be insulted if i was offered money, and it would only make me fight harder, which makes it seem like money was all they were after in the first place. i cant understand why he's looked down on for " paying them off" when if they were telling the truth, they wouldn't have excepted money.

    Mel, I agree with you, it is pathetic. I also hope that dirty money does bring them misery. They WILL reap what they sowed. What goes around, comes around. God is real and He's not asleep. I know people that have done wrong, and have gotten double for the trouble they've caused others. God says "VENGEANCE IS MINE!!

    Stelhrse ryder, you need to take your ignorant a-s back to your hick town and crawl back under that dark rock that you obviously crawled out of because what you are saying is not making any damn sense. Go somewhere and scratch your twin balls or go read a book; I recommend " Common sense for dummies" trust me, it will help you make sense when you write or express your opinion. u

    Bluealiendevil, your name matches your silly a-s. Correction! MJ was ACCUSED of doing "this" not once but twice. And if your blurr of a memory recalls, he DID go to court and was acquitted. But as usual He was criminally innocent but civilly found guilty just so to have to pay. Those money grubbing Mutha f-ckrs weren't going to let him go without squeezing money out of

    Princess, if your dimbulb a-s read Azja's article carefully, she did say that she was at his trial. Helloo!! nobody & especially the prosecutors were going to allow her to testify on mj's behalf. They seem likely to pick who they want to testify especially those that are bribed to testify falsely. The media'd rather put stuff out there that will ruin someone. They

    This lady met Michael Jackson one time. She does not know if he molested children or not. I think few know for sure at this point. He is dead now so I think we need to move past that. I am so tired of Brian Oxman the weird black man with the black fedora who says he was an "advisor" and even La Toya and Joe Jackson shooting their mouths off. Let him rest in peace and focus on the
