[size=20pt]Bears Star Lance Briggs:<br />I Really HOPE Michael Jackson<br />Didn't Abuse Bubbles[/size]<br /><br />3/16/2014 12:15 AM PDT BY TMZ STAFF<br /><br />[size=14pt]EXCLUSIVE[/size]<br /><br /><br /><br />Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs is a huge animal lover -- and tells TMZ Sports he'd be EXTREMELY PISSED if he found out the abuse allegations about Michael Jackson's chimp Bubbles were true. <br /><br />As we previously reported, famed monkey specialist Jane Goodall claims Bubbles suffered serious physical abuse on MJ's watch -- though several other people who spent lots of time with the primate say it's total crap. <br /><br />"If that's true, it's despicable," Briggs said ... "I don't ever want any harm done to animals." <br /><br />But Lance says he isn't ready to condemn MJ yet -- "Just because [Jane] said he was beaten, doesn't mean it was. If she had proof, it'd be different." <br /><br />He continues, "I'm a fan of Michael's talent so it doesn't take away from that -- but my outlook of him as a person would change." <br /><br />For the record, the MJ Estate has also denied that Bubbles was abused ... and says it still contributes money to the sanctuary where he now lives.<br /><br />
