Clearing Things Up

I was looking up some things on google.com when I stumbled upon a blog entry about Scott Thorson. This blog entry was from the blog Vindicate MJ,  it had a detailed entry about that Scott nut and I read things that I did not even know about. (click on the link to read the entry). The entry even used the information that I posted on this blog about Thorson. (thanks, Vindicate MJ for using the information for your entry)  When I was reading the rest of the entry and comments on the entry, I read one comment that was curious about the information regarding the promotional man who posted the truth about Scott in 2004. I realized that I did not go into detail about the promotional guy and where the information came from. 


Here is the deal: the information, like I stated on one of the entries, originally came from the National Enquirer discussion board. Of course, Scott’s “story” was one of the topics that were discussed. How I found out about this information was when I was a frequent member of the message board called MJJForums.com which is now MJJCommunity.com. There was a section of the message board called “Enough is Enough” where members post tabloid articles that were negative towards Michael. I noticed one of the threads and I clicked on that thread. When I read the information, I did not see how the information was negative. The owner of the message board decided to close that thread. When that happened, I clicked on the link of where the information came from and I decided to go there and find out the information for myself. I read the information and when the promotional guy, who was named “filthy” on the board, told members to contact him privately if they wanted to ask him anything, I registered on that discussion board and asked him some questions. I remember asking him why he did not go on the Michael Jackson message boards and I will never forget his answer. He told me that he did not like the fans, they would never believe him and that the fans treated Michael like a deity. 


Based on what he posted, he seemed like a black man to me. Sidenote: Please do not ask me how I can tell who someone’s race is by their posts on a website. I am a weirdo. LOL. Anyway, so I asked him if he was black and he told me he was. Then he told me that I had bad grammar. LOL. I did ask him some more questions, but I will reveal that in another time. I never got a chance to get to know more about him and his relationship with Michael because the discussion board was not working and suddenly disappeared. It was weird and I regretted not asking all of the questions that I wanted to ask him all at once. I will state this – I did get some more information about his time with Michael and what he knew about Michael through another MJ fan who I will not name for privacy reasons. The promotional guy or “filthy” was pretty much credible, honest and I have no doubt in my mind he was not creating things. At that time, the trial did not start and we had no idea how this trial was going to play out. Anything was possible. Also, at the time that the information was posted in 2004, the promotional guy had since retired from working for Michael and I am not sure if he had any type of contract with Michael in which he could not reveal things about him. I will state that the promotional guy had been working with Michael since Michael was a child. He was hired by Joseph in the 1970s and in the early 1980s, he was hired to work exclusively with Michael. Also, the promotional guy loved Michael like a son. So, that is that.

I forgot to mention on my entry regarding Scott that Entertainment Tonight has been known to pay for interviews. One of the producers from the horrible tabloid show, Hard Copy also works for ET. Some five years ago, a former ET reporter by the name of Booker was a DJ for a local radio show here in Philadelphia and he talked a little about his experience working for Entertainment Tonight back in 2003. Booker stated that ET paid for interviews. We all know that a former employee of ET would not make that up. I can safely assume, based on what Booker stated about ET, that Thorson was paid by the show to spread his lies about Michael. Anything for ratings; isn’t that pathetic?

BTW, tomorrow, May 28th is Memorial Day and what a lot of people do not know is that Michael was a supporter of the troops. In 2007, Michael visited a camp base in Japan called Camp Zama. This is great footage of him being there meeting the families of the soldiers fighting the good fight.

Criticism of the Jackson Family Part 2

Two weeks ago, the Jackson brothers – Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon – were interviewed by Piers Morgan of CNN. The brothers were on there to promote their Unity tour that kicks off June 18^th. I watched the whole interview on youtube.com and for the most part, I like the interview. 

The Jacksons on Piers Morgan Tonight.

Also, the brothers did do interviews after Michael died. Remember these interviews: 

The Jacksons on Larry King Live in 2009 to promote their reality show.

  

Part 2 of the Jacksons on Larry King Live. 

and 

The brothers were also on the Today show months after Michael's death:

I guess Piers Morgan did not do his research. Also, why was Marlon wearing sunglasses? He was inside the building not out in the sun. He can take off the glasses. I have to admit, though, the brothers made some really good points in regards to their father, Joseph, keeping them busy doing chores instead of running the streets. 

Marlon was interviewed on the Tom Joyner Morning Show to talk about the tour. (click here to listen to the interview) I have to be honest, when I listened to the interview; it seemed to me that Marlon did not seem to be all that confident about the tour. Just saying. We will see how this all plays out when the tour starts on June 18th. Also, the magazine, Entertainment Weekly stated that the brothers were supposed to be the musical guests on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno last Tuesday (May 22nd). Yes, you are not reading things - the brothers were scheduled, according to magazine to be on Jay Leno's show - the same Leno who did those horrible jokes on Michael.

I took a picture of the part of the magazine.

I watched that show on that day and they were not the music guests. Maybe there was a mistake in the scheduling.....

Yashi, Michael’s niece and Rebbie’ s daughter, participated in a fundraiser in L.A. last week

The official flyer for the fundraiser. 

to benefit music education in schools. Yashi had various celebrities participating in the event and one of those celebrities was Lisa Marie Presley. 

Yashi with Lisa Marie Presley. I mean, I can't make this up.

Once again, it seems like some of the Jacksons cannot let go of this woman. Have they ever seen the infamous interview Lisa Marie and her wicked mother, Priscilla Presley did with Oprah Winfrey in 2005 after Michael was vindicated? Did they ever read the Rolling Stone interview she did in 2003? Or did they ever listen to her radio interview with Howard Stern that same year? I am trying to understand what some of these Jacksons see in this woman that I do not see. Can they let her be? What is the deal here? Lisa Marie did not have a child with Michael so what is the deal with their connection to her? I do not get it at all.

Here we go again with the interviewing of the children – I found out on twitter that Paris will be interviewed by that Oprah woman for her flopped network OWN. It will air this summer. Sidenote: What is up with Oprah interviewing the daughters of deceased black megastars, i.e. Bobbi-Kristina Brown and Paris?? 

Just watch the video. SMH. 

Anyway, what in the world does this child have to promote? That movie that she is filming, Lundon Bridge and the Three Horses or some mess like that is not going to be released until 2013. That is a good nine months from now. I do not see the point of Oprah in that house once again harassing that 14 year old child. What does she need to ask this girl? Her paternity? (She better not go there but Oprah has zero respect for people, in my opinion.) Her father’s parenting skills? Her connection with her dead beat mother? What? Honestly, I am not looking forward to this interview because I am so tired of this child and her brothers being plastered in the public eye. Michael would be beyond furious if he was alive today and was witnessing this foolishness. Where are these relatives at so they can stop giving Oprah access to these children and all things Michael? That woman made up her damn mind about the man some years back. Why can the family get this woman to GO AWAY? I do not understand this nonsense.


Janet is on this month's cover of Prevention magazine and she stated her opinions about Paris going into the entertainment business - 

We've spoken about the fact that you’re only a child once. I think there’s a time for everything, and now is not the time [to act in films],” she said. “I told her I thought she should enjoy being a kid, possibly go to college-or not-but wait till she turns 18. She’s a very tough, smart girl. But it’s a cutthroat industry. I wouldn’t want my child to do it.

I hope that Janet continues to put some sense in this child's head. That is all she can do for her. This kid will not be running things at this point in her life. She better be like her cousin Stevanna Jackson (Randy's daughter), who graduated from Harvard University this past weekend, and get that college degree.

Last week, Katherine along with Brett Livingstone, was being interviewed by Piers Morgan and that had to be one of the most awkward, weird, unusual and cringe worthy interviews I have ever seen. I usually like Katherine’s interviews because she is such a sweet, wonderful and loving person but I do not know what was going on in that interview.

Katherine with Brett Livingstone on Piers Morgan Tonight.

First of all, Piers Morgan is a knucklehead and I would state a curse word, but I do not curse on my blog. I do not like that man at all. He is not well read on Michael and he knows that whenever he would do an interview with the Jacksons, he was going to have ratings. I really felt bad for Katherine because she seemed as though she did not know what she was stating. For example, she was defending the way Joseph raised their children. Look, I understand that Joseph had to do what he has to do, but he would knock the heck out of his children if they missed a dance step. That is brutal and that behavior cannot be defended. I understand that Katherine is a matriarch of the family and her job is to protect and defend her family yet, to defend physical child abuse is lame. Joseph had a lot of issues in his life and he put those issues on his defend less children who did not ask for the crap. They did forgive their father and all of them, even Michael, adored and love their father very much. However, Joseph has never taken the blame and the responsibility of doing what he did to his children and until he does that, I cannot support that man. I do not care about how things were back in the day or if their father was not there, they would be screwed. I do believe that the Jacksons would have end up like the DeBarge family if Joseph was not there. The scars of abuse does not go away and maybe if Joseph was sensitive to what his children went through, he would finally take the responsibility. You have to admit, though, Katherine’s comment about the world being doomed is a good one. In a lot of ways, I agree with her on that.


Second, what are they trying to promote by coming on the show? The paintings that Michael painted with Brett are wonderful but is there any proof that Michael was going to sell those paintings? As for the statue that Michael had envision for his fans to get married on – I do not believe that for a second that he would want that to happen. Why would Michael care where his fans get married? What does that have to do with him? Brett does not seem iffy to me because I didn’t catch any offensive vibes about him. He seems to be one of Michael’s reasonable friends but you never know about people these days. Lastly, I really did not see the point of Piers asking Katherine about the false child abuse allegations/smear campaign over and over again. That poor woman had to accompany her son to that ridiculous trial and listen to people lie about him. The last thing she would want to discuss is that horrible time. It is clear that Piers does not understand that Michael never befriended just boys; he befriended children, boys and girls. Piers come from the tabloid media section of the smear campaign so all he knows is tabloid and sensationalism. This fool was disrespectful asking Katherine if she had any doubt that Michael would ever harm a child. Hasn’t that poor woman been through enough??? Katherine did not come on that man’s show to talk about the mess her son went through and the last thing that she ever wants to talk about is that horrible time in their lives. 

Katherine did make a major mistake in the interview and this is why it is best that when she does interviews, she has to be accompanied by one of her relatives. It is clear that Katherine is up there in age and she is starting to confuse certain things. This is what I am most worried about when it comes to Katherine. In the interview, she stated that Jordan Chandler, the now young man who falsely accused Michael of child abuse in 1993, revealed that Michael never abused him. Here is the deal, unless I was dreaming, Jordan never came forward publicly and ever stated that Michael never abused him. Now, it is possible that Jordan told the family personally that Michael never harmed him, I am not sure. However, publicly, Jordan has never stated that Michael never abused him. Now his father, Evan Chandler, committed suicide after Michael passed away. He must have realized that his love for money destroyed another person’s life and when that person passed away, he felt so guilty that he took his own life. Katherine also stated that she asked Grace if Michael was happy and Grace told her that he was. That is off to me – why couldn't Katherine just ask her son if he was happy herself instead of asking Grace? Weird.

The Ladies in Michael’s Life

It has not been widely reported in the media about Michael’s relationships with women. The media often focus on Michael’s image, music and legal troubles. At times, the media did not believe that Michael ever been in a real relationship. I remembered when I was in high school and a classmate stated that he believed that Michael had to be in a lot of relationships in the music business or something to that effect. That had me thinking about that part of Michael that I never really looked into. Ten years later and plenty of information about this topic, I do believe – no – I know - that Michael had a lot of women in his life.

Michael with a group of female fans in the 1970s.

One of the main reasons Michael created the “Peter Pan” image was because he did not want people to know anything about his personal life. I remember reading a comment from him, I believe he stated this in his Moonwalk autobiography (that was ghost written, but I am not going to judge him for that. LOL.) in which he stated that the great artists of the ancient history eras, Michelangelo and Beethoven, were known for their work and not their personal lives. Michael wanted the public to focus on his work and not his personal life. Fair enough. Michael also created the image because he loved, loved, loved his privacy. That was one of the things that he treasured in his life. Michael did not want anyone, not even his own family, to know anything about him and the women in his life. When fans would want the family to confirm a former flame/girlfriend that stated that they were with Michael, the family couldn’t really do that because they probably do not know or they know but cannot make a statement about that. In fact, Tito stated in a interview that Michael, “had more sex with women than he did.” click here to read the article.

Michael with singer Stacy Lattisaw in 1984.

When I started to do my research on this subject, I would focus on the women that he was publically seen with and what he stated about them. When he was young, around 12 years old, he had a crush on singer Diana Ross and the crush blossomed into love on his part. Around the same time that Michael was in love with Diana, when he was 17-19 years old, he was also dating (and I was later told by a friend of mine’s, Michael also fell in love with) actress Tatum O’Neal, dated singer and at the time, Broadway star Stephanie Mills and a Michael Jackson fan name Theresa Gonsalves. I noticed that Michael was with four women in a short period of time and had sex with at least two of the four women. At that time, (it was revealed in 2011 on a MJ themed radio show by gossip columnist and Jackson family friend, Flo Anthony) that Michael had dated a woman named Sheila and another woman, the 1^st Black Miss Universe name Janelle Commissiong.

A fan giving Michael a kiss in the 1970s. Look at Michael's smile.

From the 1970s up until his murder in 2009, Michael developed a pattern: having relationships (which would be classified as dating, flings, liaisons and engagements) with more than one woman. In other words, Michael was never completely with one woman. He had serious relationships with a few and still messed around with other women. When he was married (in legal terms, not realistically), he cheated on his wives. He was in “committed” relationships, but still fooled around.

Each woman who were with Michael during his lifetime, all have a story about him that were sweet, innocent, loving, unusual, different, asinine and tragic. These stories, in a way, show a side of Michael that we were not familiar with. After Michael’s passing, the website lipstickalley.com created a Michael Jackson Forum where fans can come and talk about Michael. Most of the female fans decided to create a thread all about the women in Michael’s life and that thread turned into a sub-forum all about this very subject. The media has made it a mission never to tell the public a true account of Michael and women mostly because the truth does not sell. The power of the Internet is changing the way people get information. If I never joined the MJ fan themed message boards in the 2000s, I would never have known 95% of the information that I know about Michael.

Michael with two sisters in 2007. What was this about really???

My research on this subject really had a boost in 2004 because a man name Scott Thorson, (who I mentioned on my previous entry) who was the lover of performer Liberace, made disturbing and ridiculous claims that he had a “gay” affair with Michael. Thorson went to the tabloid the National Enquirer to tell his “story” to the world. A former promotional employee of Michael’s was so angry with what he heard that he had to come forward and tell people what he knew about Michael. Thorson told this story during a time in Michael’s life where everything about him came into question. Michael was about to go on trial for child abuse and the last thing that he had to deal with was some money hungry loser coming forward claiming a “gay” affair and having child porn on a nightstand. When the promotional guy came on the now non-existing National Enquirer message board, he posted a reply that was seen all over the Michael Jackson fan forums/message board. 

Let me break this down for you people and pay attention because I don't
like doing it more than once. Michael Jackson is thoroughly
heterosexual. He does not like men. He does not like boys. He likes women over the
age of 18. Shiiiiit, even before he was 18, he liked women well over
the age of 18. It's no secret within certain circles that Diana Ross was
his first. The poor guy thought he was going to marry her but she @#%$
him over with Gene Simmons and Arne Naess. He was pretty naive back
then, so he chose not to see the obvious. Then he was celibate for about 3
years, before becoming involved with a pretty, blond employee of his,
an actress from a popular '80s/early '90s sitcom, a singer that nobody
cares about anymore but was the sh.it back in the day, some
groupie/secretary, June Chandler (the mother of punk bitch Jordan who got jealous
of mommy's relationship with Michael) and, of course, Lisa Marie. Lisa
Marie was the only one he allowed himself to become more than just
sexually involved with since Diana, that boy was sprung. Lisa Marie,
however, led him to believe they would have a family of their own, but stayed on the pill anyway because even if she said she was a rebel, the little
bitch didn't want mommy dearest to get mad at her for having a lil
black child. Mike found the pills, split, messed around with a couple of
other women with the goal of getting one pregnant just to hurt Lisa (he
can be an as.shole sometimes, true) and eventually knocked up Debbie,
which, (if I didn't love and adore his children and think think they
saved his life) I would say was probably one of the biggest mistakes of his
life. He was never faithful to Debbie after they married, never even
wanted to marry her but Mike doesn't like to break his mother's heart. He
and Lisa continued having sex until 1999 (they weren't "together," theywere just @#%$), until he met his third child's mother, fell very much
in love with her, but he is his father's son, so he wasn't entirely
faithful to her, which is why they split up shortly after she found out
she was pregnant. From that time, up until right before these new
bullshit allegations broke, he was pretty much a dog. No attachment, just sex.
He has no time to get attached to somebody and then depressed again
after they part ways now that he has his children. I doubt he has time for anybody other than his children and his lawyers now.
There, you have it. Take it or leave it, but it's the truth. Mike would
hate me for putting his business out here like this, but at least it's
accurate, unlike all of the other trash going around now. He ain't my
boss anymore, so he's just going to have to put up with it. 

When I saw this information, I just had to contact this man because I wanted to know the information. I created an account on there and as soon as things went good on the logging in department, I immediately contacted the man through private message. There were two things that I regret not doing 1.) I never asked for his name or anything about him, 2.) I never saved the information that he told me on my email account and I never asked him all the questions that I wanted to ask him all at once. However, I do remember some of the things that he told me and when I do post the entries, I will tell the information that he stated to me.

Michael with a woman he went to school with and her daughter during the "Black and White" short film in 1991.

This subject is a subject that many fans do not want to discuss because of two reasons: 1.) the image that Michael created, 2.) It cheapens him and overshadows his music and humanitarian works. Personally, I think that it is unfair for most of his fans to believe that Michael’s brothers can fool around and have many women, but Michael couldn’t, shouldn’t and didn’t. Many fans like to forget that Michael was a man who had a father who cheated on his mother, did not understand why his brothers would be upset if a woman broke up with them, defended cheating and his oldest son had a girlfriend at the age of 13 among many things. Fans also have to understand that Michael intentionally did not want his fans to even know that side of him. No matter what is known about Michael in regards of this subject, nothing can truly overshadow his impact in music, pop culture and history.


This blog entry and others relating to this subject (that will be posted in June) will focus on the women that Michael loved, dated, flirted, had flings/liaisons with and the ones who were lucky to be engaged to him. Each woman will be listed along with a story that relates to their relationship with Michael. I will not mention Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren, Jane Fonda and Debbie Rowe because I feel that Michael never had a romantic relationship with any of these women. The last thing that I want to do on this entry and this blog in general is to be phony about my honest feelings about certain people in his life. I am not interested if they were his “friends” and if Rowe gave birth to his children. Anyone can be Michael’s friend and anyone can give Michael children. It is what you do with those chances that make you who you are to Michael, if that made any sense.

Michael with Diana Ross and boy did he love this woman. Too bad she didn't feel the same for him. 

The entries on this subject will also show the how some fans know so much of this subject but the media refuses to do any real investigation or media reporting about it. I was told by a fellow fan that I communicate with that J. Randy Tarborrelli, who infamously implied that Michael was “asexual” until he spoke to Lisa Marie Presley, had 50 women contacted him and told him that they had relationships with Michael. Instead of Tarborelli going after these women and getting their stories told, he completely ignored them. Entertainment Tonight contacted Theresa Gonsalves and wanted to do an interview with her. They never called her back to schedule a time to do an interview with her. Shana Mangatal was interviewed by Us Weekly for 90 minutes only to have a small part of her interview in the magazine. Mangatal was also interviewed by MTV News and Inside Edition and neither programs showed the interview. There are probably more stories of women of Michael’s coming forward to tell their stories only to get ignored by the media. It is clear with these examples that the media has an agenda to make the public really think and believe that Michael never had relationships and never been in love with a woman. Thanks to his brother Jermaine and Michael’s ex-“wives”, people are now convinced that Michael never understood what it is like to be in a relationship. 

Finally, I want to offer my opinion about this subject because no one can state how I feel about it like me. I know there is a blog out there that focuses on this subject. However, the blogger, no offense to her, is excluding some of the women Michael was linked to on her blog. This entry, like all of the other entries, will be updated when more information that I believe is credible have surfaced. I am very selective because it is my blog and because I have to be. The last thing I want to do is post information that could be false. I want people to  know this side of Michael because people need to know that Michael, regardless of the crap he went through, had love in his life and no matter what type of relationships that he had with these women, he at least had his fun.

"The Truth About Scott Thorson, A Liar' from my blog Michael and the Truth, http://connectingthedotsformj.blogspot.com/2012/05/truth-about-scott-thorson-liar.html

- Information: The information that I posted was originally posted on the National Enquirer message board in 2004 from a former promotional man that worked for Michael.

- Pictures: The pictures came from my harddrive. 

The Truth About Scott Thorson, a Liar

Nearly two weeks ago, the tabloid show Entertainment Tonight did a interview with a man name Scott Thorson. This fool told the show that he had a “gay” affair with Michael. Scott Thorson is the former lover of the entertainer, Liberace. He wrote a book about his time with Liberace that is now a movie that will air on either HBO or Showtime sometime this year. Thorson is a ridiculous person and twisted human being. In 2004, this man went to the tabloid the National Enquirer telling them the same story. A former promotional man, who I mentioned on this blog before (read the Jermaine book review here) came forward to heavily deny Thorson’s claims. There are people who have denied the claims from Thorson, but I am going to post the exact denial the promotional guy stated towards the end of this entry. 

It is the duty of Michael fans to defend the truth and we have to understand that the Estate of Michael Jackson will not always refute false claims right away. It is clear that Thorson and Entertainment Tonight have obvious agendas. Also, what a lot of people do not know is that Debbie Rowe, the biological mother of Michael’s older children and his ex wife, is friends with one of the producers of Entertainment Tonight. Maybe her supporters who are also MJ fans need to ask her why she didn’t try to get Entertainment Tonight not to air the interview. I guess Rowe did not want to; so much for “defending” Michael.


As for fans who state that the family should have come forward and deny Thorson claims – please. The fans that wanted the family to refute the claims are the same fans that have friends who had sexual relationships with Michael. Why can they call their friends on the phone and tell them to come forward to deny the laughable claims? Or ask their buddies over at the Michael Jackson Estate headquarters to sue Thorson and Entertainment Tonight for defamation of character. The fans love to go to after the family over every single lie when the family do not own Michael’s likeness or would not know who all of his women in his life were. If fans were so secure of their fanhood and use the information that they know and have to defend Michael, why call on the family to do anything? Do you think I expect the family to do anything? No. The fans were given information upon information of women who have come forward to tell their stories about their time with Michael. They decided to ignore their stories and put their focus on the same old women that Michael was publically connected to: Diana Ross, Brooke Sheilds, Elizabeth Taylor, Tatum O’Neal, Lisa Marie Presley and Debbie Rowe.


My next blog entry will be about the women in Michael’s life. I will start with an analysis and continue with entries listing the women that were connected to him. It is important to let the public know Michael not only as a great entertainer and musician but also a man who loved women very much. I want people to know the truth or information that could be true so that people will stop relying on the media that intentionally lies and focus on the truth. One day, creeps like Thorson would no longer be taken seriously. As for now, here is the only denial of Thorson’s claims from a promotional guy that worked for Michael that was posted on the National Enquirer message board back in 2004:

Anybody who genuinely knows Michael (which is none of you), knows that Michael is straight - almost to a fault of himself, considering that he doesn't look like the most masculine of brothas. You're so quick to believe Scott, which is hysterical because if you knew their history,you'd know how weirded out Michael was by Scott's advances. Michael's not overtly homophobic, but he is old school and isn't completely comfortable with it. However, given the nature of his profession, he has tried his best to be accepting and because he tries to be a good Christian, he does not judge, he leaves that to God. He still gets incredibly uncomfortable by advances by anything remotely male....which brings us to Scott. Scott made a pass at Michael. Michael ignored it, initially. The second time, Michael told him to back the #### off (in more polite language, of course...Michael was still quite young and sweet and innocent back in the '80s, if a dude tried something similar NOW, he might get punched in the face). They haven't spoken since then. The closest he ever got to Michael after about '84 was that his boyfriend was friends with Priscilla Presley's makeup artist. The two haven't spoken since Scott tried to get all up on Mikey.

One may ask themselves, if his motive for coming forward now was out of  some sort of moral obligation and a desire to crush MJ's "strategy" of declaring himself heterosexual, why didn't he come forward in 1993? 

Maids, cooks, ex-guards, everybody and their momma was coming forward with"claims," why not then? Or, if the motivation behind this is genuine
concern for the welfare of children and not money, why not go to the
police with the things you've seen (i.e. Scott claiming to have seen child
porn on Michael's nightstand)? 

Simple, none of it happened and Scott was still livin' the life with
all of Liberace's dough. Poverty brings forth all sorts of "memories."
Isn't it convenient that just as soon as his cash stash is running dry,
he tells the world he had sex with Michael Jackson? 

Please.

Like I always believe - the truth hurts... well it hurts if you don't like Michael. 

Michael from his short film "Dirty Diana" in 1987.

The Friends, Hanger Ons and the Ones Undecided

Since Michael’s murder in 2009, a lot of people who knew him were coming forward talking about their memories with Michael and offer some insight into the mind of this great human being. However, what comes with the death of a world legend is the reality of people coming forward stating claims about Michael that are not true. Most of these people that knew Michael, whether it be for 20 minutes or over 30 years, were his friends. There were some friends of Michael that honored him correctly and respectfully. Even though these friends have other things to do, when they are asked about Michael, it is always about the man and the friendship they had with the man. Other “friends” of his who have come forward to talk about Michael have decided to trash, make false claims of paternity, question his manhood, was vocal on his state of mind and the rumors of drug use. There were friends of his that cared about him but often did or stated things about him that were inappropriate, wrong and downright disrespectful.


This entry will explore what these people, some who have called themselves “friends” of Michael, have done to tell the world about their time with Michael. There will be three categories of this entry: Friends, Hanger Ons and Undecided. I did not include all of his friends because some will be mentioned in an upcoming entry. Let me break it down what I mean by each category:

Friends: are people that were good to Michael throughout his life. Instead of judging him because of his choices, they helped him. Instead of making fun of him, they felt the need to feel compassion for him. Instead of going to the media and making a “fool” out of him, they state what they have to state and moved on.

Hanger Ons: are people who claimed to be friends with Michael but never really shown evidence that they actually cared about him. These people go on social networking sites like facebook and twitter and tell fables about him. These people are paid by the tabloids to create lies about him. These people put Michael into crazy situations just so Michael can state things that do more harm than good. Even after Michael has passed away, these people are still making a “name” for themselves because of their association with Michael.

Undecided: are people who are probably friends with Michael but I am not sure about their loyalty. These people stated things about him after his death that would make me question their mindset when they stated those things. 

Friends -


Chris Tucker (actor, comedian): Chris first met Michael in 2001 when they were in his video, “You Rock My World” for Michael’s Invincible album. In the 1990s, Chris did his famous and hilarious comedy sketch on Michael being a pimp on the show Def Comedy Jam  View video here and he would often imitate Michael in his movies (All the Rush Hour movies). Chris introduced Michael in the 30^th Anniversary special talking about the first time he ever spoke to Michael on the phone. Chris, along with Brett Ratner (he will be mentioned later in this entry) often vacationed with Michael in 2003 to visit a mutual friend of theirs name Al Malnik (he will be mentioned in this entry) and hung out with Michael.  In 2005, Chris was one of the people who testified for him during Michael’s trial. After Michael was murdered, Chris tributes him in his comedy tour and was on the George Lopez show talking about how Michael was like as a friend and a person. Chris is also good friends with Michael’s family. Even Michael’s niece and nephew, Austin and Yashi, tweeted that they have attended Chris’ comedy concerts. Chris has never trashed Michael or claimed to be the father to any of Michael’s children. He has never used Michael’s fame to promote his work or any charities that he is a part of. The mother of his only child, Azja Pryor, was on Access Hollywood in 2010 defending Michael’s innocence in regardless to the laughable and false accusations of child abuse that Michael endured in 2005. She did an open letter to the accuser, Gavin Arvizo to tell him to come forward and state that the allegations he made against Michael were false. View video here.  


Rev. Al Sharpton (radio host, civil rights leader, Reverend) : Al Sharpton has been friends with Michael for years and was a vocal support for Michael during the 2005 trial. Sharpton went to any media outlet to defend Michael and remind people of the situation Michael was in. In 2006, Sharpton accompanied Michael to the funeral of James Brown and Michael spoke at his funeral. In 2002, Michael  came to Sharpton’s National Action Network to march with them against Sony Music Harlem, in regards to Michael’s ownership rights. View video here. The video went all over the world and in the video, Michael talked about once he broke the records that fellow music legends Elvis and the Beatles had, he was called things that he was not. When Michael died in 2009, Sharpton decided to do a memorial for him in the Apollo Theatre in honor of his friend. Fans from all over the area came to the memorial. In July of that same year, Sharpton did an emotional speech about his friend in the memorial that was televised worldwide. In his speech, he stated to Michael’s children this amazing quote: 

Your daddy was not strange. Strange things happened to your daddy.

In August of that same year, Sharpton went to the first annual Michael Jackson Birthday Block Party in Brooklyn, NY to tell the fans that he wanted to thank them for coming and that he had to go to California to be there for the Jackson family to prepare for Michael’s burial. In the 2009 Ebony’s magazine tribute on page 12 entitled “History”, Sharpton stated about his friend, 

Every time they knocked him down, Michael got back up. He stood up and told us all to take a look at the man in the mirror and to heal the world. He told us to remember the time, and now we remember the plethora of great times he gave us: the sold-out international concerts, the largest album sales in history, the impeccable dance moves and, more important, his generous, humanitarian side. 

In an interview with the television program 60 Minutes, Sharpton was profiled and he was asked about Michael. He stated that he was always be there for his friend to honor his legacy the same way he did for another friend of his, James Brown.


Rev. Jesse Jackson (radio host, civil rights leader, Reverend): Jesse Jackson has known Michael and his family for over 40 years. Not one time he was ever stopped being there for Michael and the family. Jackson has been seen visiting Michael and the family during the Victory Tour days.  Jackson has been a supporter of Michael during the trial. During the trial, Michael did an interview for Jackson’s radio show to let the people know how he was holding up. Also, during the trial, Michael had serious financial issues so Jackson and a friend of former President Bill Clinton, Ron Burkle, decided to help Michael get his finances in order. Click here . In 2007, Michael was invited to celebrate Jackson’s 65^th birthday in Beverly Hills. When Michael died in 2009, he did a wonderful tribute to his friend in Ebony’s magazine’s tribute to Michael. On page 55 of the tribute called “The Promise of Youth Fulfilled”  he stated about being with Michael during his darkest time, 

I was with him in Neverland through his darkest hours but, through it all, Michael was a survivor. Indeed, his story is one of unparalleled triumph; rarely have we seen the promise of fulfilled so brilliantly, so fully.

Jackson was at Michael’s memorial and burial ceremonies and still supports Michael and the Jackson family.


Eddie Griffith (comedian, actor): There are people out there that do not know that Michael and Eddie Griffith are good friends. In the past, like many comedians, Eddie made fun of Michael. Years later, during the 2005 trial, Griffin came there in support of Michael. After Michael’s death, Eddie has been vocal on the conspiracy on what happened to Michael and how the press hounded Michael.  He also did an hilarious comedy routine about Michael in which he basically stated that Michael did not abuse children but that men/husbands need to really worry about putting their women/wives around Michael. I do not have to tell you what Griffin meant by that. Hehehehe.


Steve Harvey (comedian, actor radio show host): Steve Harvey had a popular radio show in L.A. and would tell the listeners that he was a huge fan of Michael. When Michael finally was told that, he had to call his radio show. That is what he did in 2002 View video here and it became a popular interview. Harvey and Michael have been friends ever since and he showed his loyalty towards him when he was there for Michael during the hardest times. At one point, Harvey almost lost his job because of his defense towards his friend. In his comedy movie, Don’t Trip, He Ain’t Through With Me Yet, Harvey tells the audience about his friendship with Michael and there were some mixed reactions with what he stated. He stated that Michael should have never stated that he slept in the bed with children and that he should have stated that he slept in the bed with his sister, Janet. He also stated that Michael should have closed up the place, unplugged everything and called the place “Never Again” after Michael was falsely accused of child abuse. Even though, what he stated was a bit harsh, it was true and I, for one, thought it was funny and honest. A good friend tells you the truth and Harvey probably told that to Michael. In 2003, Harvey hosted Michael’s 45^th birthday celebration in L.A.’s Forum Theatre. After Michael passed away, Harvey dedicated his radio show to Michael.


Lionel Richie (singer, songwriter): Lionel Richie has known Michael since Michael was a child. When Richie was in the Motown group, the Commandores in the 1970s, they were the opening act for the Jackson 5. Ever since then, Michael and Richie became dear friends. They were such good friends that Michael became the godfather to Richie’s older daughter, Nicole and Paris Jackson and Richie’s younger daughter, Sophia, are best friends. Richie and Michael co-wrote the 1985 classic song “We Are the World” and according to Richie when he was interviewed on Access Hollywood, made a pact that they will never let the music business get them wrapped up in drugs. Richie was there for Michael during the 2005 trial and stated one time on a show that he does not care if Michael made another hit, he just wants Michael to be alive. When Michael died in 2009, Richie came to the memorial and sang the song “Jesus is Love” and has been vocal on his friendship with Michael.


Kathy Hilton (mother of socialite Paris Hilton): Kathy Hilton and Michael have been friends since their childhood days. Hilton often hung out with Michael and LaToya when they were growing up. According to LaToya, the made a pact that if they had children of their own, they would named them after their favorite cities. Hilton has been there for Michael for years and when Paris, Nicole and their siblings were younger, she often came to the Neverland estate many times. Hilton even took care of Michael’s children, Prince and Paris when Michael was recording his Invincible album. Hilton was there during Michael’s difficult times in 2005 and was there with the family when Michael died in 2009. In that same year, her daughter Paris revealed on the show Extra that Michael named his daughter Paris after her. In 2011, Hilton along with her daughter was on Piers Morgan’s show to talk about their reality show at the time and about Michael,  View video here.


Miko Brando (the son of legendary actor, Marlon Brando) Miko Brando and Michael were friends for many years and at one point, Brando work as one of Michael’s personal assistants. Brando stated on Access Hollywood that Michael was his best man at his wedding and that Michael was the godfather of Brando’s daughter, Prudence.


Steve Hofflien, M.D. (one of Michael’s and the Jacksons’ plastic surgeon) Dr. Steve Hofflien was Michael’s plastic surgeon who was outspoken against Dr. Klien (he will be mentioned later) and his questionable ways. Dr. Hofflien has often been there for Michael during the hard times in his life. It was rumored that Dr. Hofflien was at one point in a mental home and that he was blamed for the results of the scalp reconstructive surgery that he performed on Michael. However, I tend to judge him on how he treated Michael after Michael passed. Dr. Hofflein was vocal on the things that he believe Dr. Klien and Michael’s ex-wife Debbie Rowe did to Michael. He also stated in this article that Michael was not gay to refute the claims that Dr. Klien’s boyfriend made about Michael’s sexuality.  Regarding the rumors of Hofflien being in a mental home - if he had to be forced to go to a mental home it was probably because he knew things about certain people. Just saying.

Hanger Ons - 


Uri Guller (spoon bender, “Spiritual advisor”, media whore): Uri Guller was “friends” with Michael during a time in Michael’s life that was becoming unusual. Guller was bought into Michael’s camp and life by Rabbi Schumley Boteach, another “spiritual advisor” who will be mentioned later. Michael heard about Guller when he was a child when Guller was best known to attempting to bend a spoon using his mind and it failed terribly on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson back in the 1970s. A thread was made on Guller over at the website lipstickalley.com called “Uri Guller: Proven Liar, Fraud and Con Man”  Click here  and in the thread, it details how Guller operates and eventually lied, frauded and con manned Michael. Guller was paid by that terrible “journalist” Marin Bashir over $200,000 so that he can do an interview with Michael. We all know how that mess turned out to be. After that horror, Michael got rid of this person for good. However, that did not stop Guller from exposing Michael. Even after Michael parted ways with Guller, Guller made the rounds on television to talk about Michael and all of the things about Michael to anyone that would listen to him. After Michael’s death, Guller, along with former celebrity child star and “friend” of Michael’s Mark Lester and so called “bodyguard” to Michael, Matt Fiddles has teamed together to go on tabloids to tell anyone that Michael did not father two of his three biological children.


Mark Lester (child actor best known for playing Oliver in the movie Oliver, aging has been): Mark Lester knew Michael since they were young people and seemed to have a close friendship. Everytime Michael would visit London to stay over Lester’s home, Lester made an attempt to go to the media and tell them about Michael’s visit. In 2003, when Michael was receiving the key to Las Vegas, Lester was there making sure that his children were being paraded around Michael’s children. Lester always made sure to include himself in everything Michael whenever Michael was in his presence. When Michael died, at first, it seemed that Lester was in mourning over the lost of his dear “friend”. However, that soon changed when Michael’s children were now being raised by Katherine and Lester was not getting to see the children they way he wanted to see the children. Lester’s own daughter, Lucy, created a fake facebook account of Paris just to make the fans think it was actually her. Lucy even bashed Katherine for not letting her and her family speak to Paris. Then, the unexpected “bombshell”: Lester went to a tabloid to claim that he was the “biological” father of Paris. The MJ fan community went insane with anger. It turned out, all along, that Lester was not even close to a friend, he was a backstabbing, bitter has been that has now realized that he cannot handle the fact that he can no longer use Michael or his children to get in the papers. In other words, since he has no way of visiting Michael’s children so he can’t tell his buddies in the media all the juicy “details” of his visit. Lester even went as far as going to the Today show and told anchor Matt Lauer why he believed that Paris was “his daughter”. The now tabloid morning show even did a split screen of Paris with one of Lester’s daughters, Emma, to see if there was a resemblance. There was none. Lester, along with fellow hanger on, Matt Fiddles were going to do paternity tests to see if they were “biologically” related to the children, but that went nowhere. On a side note: Lester was asked about Michael’s sexually, and in true stupid form, Lester basically  stated that he did not think Michael was the type of guy to have partners but Michael would comment on how pretty a woman is. So basically, Lester was stating that Michael was an asexual. Yeah, I know, hilarious. He really did not know Michael.


Matt Fiddles (martial arts “trainer”, media whore, “body guard”):  Matt Fiddles was put into Michael’s camp by fellow hanger on, Uri Guller to “bodyguard” Michael. Fiddles only did that job for two days and that was it. He barely got to know Michael. Fiddles started to show his true colors when he made the laughable claim that he was the “biological” father of Blanket. To even believe this claim, a person would have to get their brain examined. It was later revealed that Fiddles “worked” for Michael AFTER Blanket was born. Fiddles made insane claims such as Michael being an anti-semitic, he had a pet boa constructor named Madonna because Michael “could not stand the singer Madonna” and the funniest one was the claim that stated that Michael ordered his people to kill his brother Randy. To even waste a minute dealing with this fool would make you go insane. There are great blog entries out there that I feel people should read to show you how one fool can create a story all for attention, fame and money. The blog entry entitled “Matt Fiddles Michael Jackson Lies Over Blanket’s Paternity”  Click here , “Whitney Houston, Bio-Babies  and Nazis: Exposing the Lies of Michael Jackson’s Fake Bodyguard” Click here  and “National Enquirer Refused Michael Jackson Bodyguard Story as They Found It Too Unbelievable! Katherine Jackson Called Him a Liar in 2010! Fiddles Exposed” Click here  . Read and laugh at the clown’s stupidity.


Rabbi Shmuley Boteach (Rabbi, “spiritual advisor”, media whore): Michael met the Rabbi through Uri Guller in 2001. Rabbi Boteach wanted to work with Michael on various projects but Michael soon realized that Rabbi Boteach was another hanger on. Michael found out that Rabbi Boteach stole over $250,000 from the Heal The World foundation Click here, when Michael cut him off, Rabbi Boteach made claims that the reason he was cut off was because of Michael’s “drug use” and to make matters worse, he released a book of private conversations that he had with Michael called The Michael Jackson Tapes. In a way, it was an invasion of Michael’s privacy. Michael agreed to do the book, but when Michael was alive, the book was never completed. When Rabbi Boteach went on Larry King Live to promote his book, he stated that part of Michael’s legacy was the child abuse allegations that he endured. When the laughable allegations from Matt Fiddles stating that Michael was an anti-semitic were spreading, Rabbi Boteach decided to go to the Huffingtonpost.com to offer a rebuttal against the claim.  Click here  Even though his rebuttal was good, it still showed that Rabbi Boteach was still friends with Uri Guller. As you might notice, Rabbi Boteach is not going to cut ties with Guller anytime soon.


Karen Faye Kissinger (freelance make-up artist, gossiper): Karen Faye met Michael in 1982 through the photographer of the Thriller album, Bill Zimmerman. A few years later, she became Michael’s full time makeup artist. It is not common for make-up artist to spread rumors about their clients. However, with Faye’s case, it is unusual for a make-up artist to have an unprofessional relationship with her client. Faye was frequent on the Michael Jackson message boards for a certain time during the 2005 trial. In a conversation she had with fans, Faye started to talk about Michael’s private parts. Now, that is borderline inappropriate and disrespectful. After the trial, Michael fired Faye in 2005 and hired a new make-up artist name Lynda Parrish. When Michael was preparing for his This Is It concert in 2009, Faye was rehired. Things started to look off when MJ died June of that year – Faye went on her facebook account and started to tell fans fables about Michael. Faye’s comments create a fan division in the fan community. When the Jacksons decided to do an interview with Oprah in 2010, Faye posted a couple of tweets that trashed Michael’s parents, Joe and Katherine  Click here . A lot of tea was spilled on that link but hey, when you are pure evil, the truth comes out eventually. I was told that Faye does make-up for Gloria Allred’s show that started last year. The same Gloria Allred that wanted to take Michael’s children away from him based on the false child abuse allegations. Yeah, Faye was a “friend” indeed.


Al and Nancy Malnik (Attorney, Restaurant owner, humanitarian and has mafia ties. Not sure of wife’s occupation): Michael met Al and Nancy Malnik in 2003 through Brett Ratner. Michael with his children, along with Ratner and Chris Tucker went to Miami to visit the Malniks and Michael’s children played with the Malnik children. However, after 2003, Michael and the Malniks were never seen with one another ever again. The reason, according to the information that was posted on here Click here, Michael started to have suspicions of Malnik and he wanted an investigator name Gordan Novel to look into Malnik. Michael believed that Malnik, along with Ratner, were working with former Sony head Tommy Mottola to get rid of Michael’s rights of the Beatles Catalogue. After Michael passed away, Malnik was being the opportunistic person that he is, went to anyone that would listen to him that he was Blanket’s “godfather” and he was one of the executors to his estate. His wife, Nancy, created a facebook page of pictures of Michael with his children when they visited her home. Malnik (wife) claimed that the pictures were leaked, but how when the pictures were on a public facebook page?? Those pictures were on tmz.com, Us Weekly and People. I wonder how much money those media outlets paid her for the pictures. Also, Michael’s children and the Malnik children visited one another with the help of the ever suspect Grace Rwanba (former nanny) during 2010. It is not known why the Jacksons allowed Malnik (wife) to let her children visit Michael’s children even after Michael cut ties with these people.


Frank Cascico (music producer, author, song ruiner): Frank Cascico knew Michael since he was five years old. Casciso and his siblings are Michael’s godchildren and would often accompanied him when he was on tour, the recording studio and had their own rooms are Neverland. During the trial, Cascico was there to support his friend but he was a source to most of gossip columnist and resident Michael hater Roger Friedman various articles. He also did an interview with Harvey Levin, who ran the website Celebrity Justice.com which has turned into the awful tmz.com which he told Levin that Michael would tell him graphic details on how he would have sex with women. When Levin asked if Michael ever done anything to him, he stated that Michael never did anything to him. Cascico had no business even talking to Levin about Michael but that was just the beginning of Cascico’s ways. After Michael died, he and his brother, Dominic gave Sony/BMG three songs, “Breaking News”, “Keep Your Head Up” and “Monster” for the posthumous album called Michael.  When “Breaking News” leaked in its entirety on Michael’s official website, michaeljackson.com, the fan community was in total shock and disbelief. The song sounded nothing like Michael and an all out war started. Michael’s children and family stated that the vocals were not Michael’s. Producer Teddy Riley and Michael’s nephew, Tito’s son, Taryll Jackson, had a twitter beef over the fake songs. Dominic issued a statement to the fan website based in France which read as follows: 

the kids while at my house had homeschool everyday at my house while michael worked in the studio! (2 different parts of the house) everything will be revealed shortly! the truth will prevail! the jackson brothers and 3t are brainwashing everyone because of there own jelousey! including the kids! michael distanced himself from his brothers for a reason! they were all greedy, and always looked for trouble and they are doing the same now! remember that they have no say in the estate, and they are not entitled to any money from the estate... the only ones who benifit from the estate are those 3 beauteful kids! so not buying the album will ultimately hurt them! my brother has 3 songs on the album, and if they were fake they wouldnt be going out! remember the jacksons ordered a forensic test to test the vocals and they came back positive! (all 3 tests) all the producers who worked with him like quincy jones, bruce swedien, teddy riley all say its him so who is claiming its fake?? ONLY THE JACKSONS! now if they still have a problem they should take legal action but since they have NO case they are trying to ruin the album to hurt my family, which is doing nothing but hurting the kids! so like i said look at the big picture! dont be manipulated! michael always said dont listen to what you hear about him because people make up lies! my brother has sworn affadavits which means he swore his life these songs! and we are not desperate we are trying to make michaels latest work be heard! if michael didnt like these songs he would never record them to begin with! he didnt record on friends tracks just for fun!!! this was seriouse! not fully finished but very seriouse work! the fans are doing more harm to michaels name then good! michaels is singing in the whole song, the other voice is just giving accents that michael could not record yet becuase he wasnt able to due to his death! u can hear it in the backround when he sais the word jackson.. michael is saying jackson but in the back you will heard jackson said with a different tone and accent, maybe this voice is causing confusion with the fans but just like in butterflies there were other singers credited in the songs just like this guy is! maybe without the voice there wouldnt be confusion of the credibility of the songs but it is too late think what should have been done.. this is the way it is and we are not making false tracks! michael was recorded through out the whole song, these were just extras to give more body! maybe it was the right desicion maybe it was wrong but in no way would we try to fool the fans, or anyone! We have always been and will always be LOYAL to michael and the kids!

(http://www.mjfranceforum.com/index.php?topic=21358.0) 


It seems like all of the bashing in the world will not stop the questions about the validity of those songs. The Cascico family along with Teddy Riley, went on Oprah to talk about the Michael album. Still, no mentioning on the validity of the songs on that show. This year, Casisco wrote a book about Michael called My Friend Michael in which he talked about his friendship with Michael and Michael’s dependency of prescribed medications. I did not buy the book because I knew it was a waste of paper and time. However, I was thinking, for a person who never really succeed on being a producer, who gave him the right to go ahead and write a book about his friendship with Michael? He had a publisher but there are people out there who knew Michael and tried to get a publisher to publish their book, but instead had to self publish their books. What made Cascico so special???  Then, Cascico had gone on a media promotional spree with his book. It seems like he must have some connections with certain publishers who had connections with certain Estate executors.


Arnold Klien, M.D. (Not sure if he is a Board Certified Dermologist, one of Michael’s killers, suspicious as hell): Michael was introduced to Dr, Klien by his friend, the late Elizabeth Taylor sometime in the 1980s. Michael suffered from Vitiligo and Lupus and Dr. Klien was there to “help” him. Michael also met his ex-wife and the mother of his two older children, Debbie Rowe, while being a patient of Dr. Klien. Before Michael’s death, it was not known what Dr. Klien ever do to Michael that would have harm him. However, after Michael’s death, Klien came out of nowhere and violated the HIPPA law by publically discussing Michael to the media. On Good Morning America, Dr. Klien stated that he might be the “biological” father of Prince and Paris. Of course, that started a war against Klien in the fan community. I was more than convinced that Dr. Klien is hiding something about what he really did to Michael because for a questionable doctor to even go on television and even talk about one of his patients, tells me that he is hiding something. Klien decided not to go ahead and do a paternity test to see if he was the “father” mainly because of two things, 1. He is not the father 2. Debbie denied that he is the father. It has been revealed in a blog that I used to frequent that Klien, with the help of Taylor probably did more harm than good in regards to Michael.  Klien, with the help of his boyfriend, Jason, started telling fables of Michael being gay. Jason was ready to tell his story to the television gossip show Extra .That prompted Taylor to issue a tweet about the laughable claim. However, even her weak defense of Michael did nothing to help. It took the fans and shockingly Rowe to get the Estate executors to tell Extra not to air the interview. The interview never aired and Dr. Klien admitted that he lied and that Michael was not gay. On a sidenote – Rowe actually was given the credit for making sure that the interview never aired instead of the fans. Go figure.

Undecided- 


David Gest (producer, media whore): David Gest knew Michael since they were young and they have often been there for one another. Michael was Gest’s best man to his hideous wedding to his then wife, Liza Minnelli. Gest has been a supporter of Michael when Michael was going through his troubles in 2005. However, I am not listing Gest under undecided because of his loyalty towards his friend. Gest had stated some things about Michael and Whitney that bothered me. There are times when a friend tells you something that was meant to be private. For example, if you tell your friend what age you lost your virginity; you would expect your friend not to tell people. That is a private thing. Well, Gest did not get that at all. I guess since Michael is no longer with us, Gest can go ahead and tell all of his friends’ business just so he could be in the papers. Gest stated that Michael lost his virginity at 19 years old. Even if that is true, should it be out there? No. I do not care who Gest is to Michael or the Jackson family, there are things that the whole world do not need to know about. If Michael and Whitney had a passionate kiss should I know about it? Probably not. After Whitney passed away, Gest did an interview with the Sun tabloid click here in which he talked about Whitney’s drug use and blaming Bobby Brown for getting her into drugs. I guess this knucklehead never heard of the word ADULT. SMDH.  An adult makes decisions for themselves and does not need someone to make it for them. Even though Gest is not a bad person, he is the type of friend that you cannot trust and because he never really bashed neither Michael nor Whitney, I am not sure if he was ever their friend either.


Brett Ratner (director, Al Malnik’s protégé): Brett Ratner met Michael in 2003 while Michael was in Miami. Ratner was a supporter of Michael during the trial and afterwards. Ratner and Michael were never seen together after 2003 and it was mentioned on this entry why. I placed him in this category because after Michael’s death, he honored him by posting a video of Michael talking to him. He did not really trashed him or go after his children and family. When he was on the Jimmy Kimmel Show last year to promote his movie, he told a story about the time Michael attacked a homeless man with a water gun. View video here.  Now, I have to admit, I thought the story was funny because I have a weird sense of humor. However, it hit me that even though I do believe the story is true, I thought it was odd that Ratner could not find a better story to tell Kimmel. I know that Ratner saw Michael do very nice things for people while he was hanging out with him. I do not think it is right for anyone to attack homeless people and Michael did steal toys from a child once so it is not the first time that he did things that were not nice. Yet, I wonder what agenda Ratner probably had by telling this story? Michael was the most charitable celebrity ever and did so much for people. Wouldn’t it be reasonable for Ratner to focus on a story that showed a side of Michael that was respectful towards him and others?


Quincy Jones (music producer, bitter friend of Michael): Michael and Quincy met when Michael was 10 in the home of the late Sammy Davis Jr. Then they met again when Michael was doing the movie The Wiz and Jones was doing the score for the movie. Of course, we know the history that they had with one another. However, after Michael died, Jones was hurt by Michael’s death but decided to do an interview in which he falsely stated that Michael’s children were white among other things. I guess Jones forgot about his own children being not just black but white as well. One of them, Rashida Jones, passes for a white woman. The day of Michael’s memorial, there were pictures of Jones partying with a woman in Europe. People were outraged when they saw this man enjoying himself while his friend was being memorialized. It showed the selfishness that Michael probably saw when he worked with Jones. I put him in this category because he did not outright bashed Michael but he did not support him either after his death. He stated some comments that were very harsh but he was nothing like the clowns that were listed as hanger ons. No matter what, though, I will never like Jones or his family.


Deepak and Gotham Chopra (father & son, authors, new age nutties): The Chopras met Michael in 1988 and were friends with him ever since. After Michael’s death, Deepak Chopra posted a moving tribute to his friend on the blog huffingtonpost.com. Then, Chopra (father) went on Larry King Live to talk about Michael. On the show, he stated that Michael was a “drug addict” and the singer Usher stated that Chopra should have never said that about Michael. I remember reading this and I was livid. Michael just died and the last thing that needed to be stated about him was that he was an “drug addict”. At that time, we did not even know what killed him and the assumption of him being a “drug addict” was downright wrong. Chopra’s son, Gotham, also did a blog on Michael about the time he was a roadie for Michael’s Dangerous tour back in the 1990s. Click here In the article he stated something that I found odd, 

For years, I wore the badge of that summer and my many exploits over it boldly and boastfully. Then of course, as time passed and Michael became embroiled in scandals involving teen boys, all of a sudden my summer as his teen sidekick didn’t have the same glamour to it. Now it was a stigma, something I treasured but certainly did not tout.

Interesting on how he views his time with Michael. After false accusations, Chopra (son) viewed his time with Michael as more of a stigma than a wonderful memory regardless of the nonsense Michael went through. Chopra also stated in another blog or interview, I am not sure, that Michael would ask him tips on how he can get with Lisa Marie Presley, Michael’s then wife. *Sigh* if anyone actually believes that Michael went a guy who was two times younger than he on advice on women, I am going to have to pop that person on the nose. I mean, come on. Chopra (son) stated that he was working with Michael on a book called Fated. That would be a book that I will not purchase. I do not think the Chopras are bad people but I do think that they use their connections with Michael to get in the papers. They are already successful without the help of Michael.
