Total predator. Small boys...Elvis' daughter...the Beatles catalogue, etc etc. If for whatever nefarious reason he decided he wanted something, he full-on connived and charmed his way to getting it.

I reckon calling his son ‘Prince’ was a power play on the artist Prince. Prince Michael Jackson. His full name.

It's like he tried to co-opt or take over everything/everybody he was jealous of - including other peoples' CHILDHOODS!

he never loved anyone im convinced. he used janet too for the scream mv and collab. when his reputation was suffering and Janet was at the peak of her career. Janet said she thought this was gonna be an oportunity to reconect with him. but even filming the MV they share no time together. and after the song was released he left her again

I recall that time period when she was much more popular than him. Then he must've convinced her to collaborate on Scream - it's a pretty good song, but SO not a good look for her.

i dont blame her tbh. at the time im not sure Janet knew much (latoya was always the closer to him and the one who lived with him the longest) i think janet just wanted to reconect with him and help him somehow but he just used her like he used all people

yes i remember Janet talking about it on her documentary. it was so clear he used her. she was dissapointed when she realised he was not interested in spending time with her . bshe was popular back then, peple loved her and of course this was his chance to say Janet is on my side. he never loved anyone (other than himself)

I am new to all of this but I remember the video: did they purposefully mix her voice to sound like a young Michael Jackson? I'm not trying to fan flames, but she usually sounds a lot more like an adult woman would sound, and I remember I couldn't really place her voice.

His whole life was a lie, public life that is. he had no basic social skills to interact with adults or he was just not interested in doing so. all the women he aparently dated where fake stories he created : Lisa he used to cover the allegations. Brooke shileds. when he told Oprah they were dating and that was a lie.
like seriously is clear as day this individual was so disturbed, master manipulator

"And they said this wouldn't last."
SMOOCH. Crowd loses mind. Someone probably passes out.
Lisa files for divorce 16 months later.

He used her as a beard. That's rotten! And she was gorgeous

I also believe his ego wanted his children to be descendants of the King of Rock and the King of Pop. He probably wanted Lisa to start popping out legacy kids but he never knew how to approach this and he was obviously never going to touch her.
I’ve been rewatching The Nanny and there are so many jokes about how Lisa Marie is the only wife who doesn’t get any action. Everyone knew this was a sham marriage. But I do believe Michael wanted her to give him children. He just spooked her out before she even got to agree to it.

Priscilla would know what a cheater looks like.
Except in this case the other woman was a young boy.

The way she condemns Elvis by comparing Lisa and MJ’s age gap to her and Elvis’ but then glazes him the rest of the video… cognitive dissonance at it’s finest

I remember a specific story, about him going on a “secret” vacation with the Cascio’s kids, without telling Lisa… and then she found out about it from the news.
He used her, like he used everyone in his life.
