The mother of Michael Jackson's accuser has spent a fourth day giving evidence at the singer's trial.
In her testimony she said that Mr Jackson had managed to fool the world, claiming at one point that she feared that her children were going to be taken away from Neverland Valley Ranch in a hot air balloon.
The woman said: "He really didn't care about children. He just cared about what he was doing with the children.
"He's managed to fool the world and I was just one woman inside of that. What he puts out to the world is not who he really is," she said. "Now because of this criminal case, people know who he really is."
Mr Jackson's attorney Tom Mesereau questioned the woman yesterday, trying to establish that she had lied in the past and that her version of events clashed with the accounts of other people.
When Mesereau asked the woman: "Did you tell the police that you thought your family might disappear from Neverland in a hot air balloon?", she replied that he had taken her remarks out of context.
The woman said that two of Mr Jackson's henchmen had threatened "various ways of making my children disappear", including by hot air balloon.
When asked why she continued to bring her children to Neverland after she claimed to have seen the singer lick her son's head on an aeroplane, the woman said: "That was poor judgement on my part".
She also claimed to have been followed by associates of Mr Jackson, saying that these people left notes on her doorstep and threw rocks at her house. The trial continues.
