Michael and Rumours

When we say Michael Jackson usually one of the few things that becomes associated with him is rumours of child molestation, plastic surgery, sleeping in a special chamber etc.

Michael Jackson's was charged in court for multiple cases of child molestation charges after parents of kids started that he shared a bed with their kid. This caused a great interest in the star and affected Michael's career and personal life greatly, tarnishing his squeaky-clean family-orientated image.

In his book, 'Michael Jackson: The King of Pop', author Lewis defends Michael stating that, “Tabloids were making up their own stories and selling them like hot cakes. A group of Jehovah’s Witnesses announced that he was a Messiah; it was claimed that he had undergone massive plastic surgery; and photographs were published that suggested that he slept in a special chamber to prevent himself aging. It was all tabloid trash publicity”(Lewis).

In a CBS 60 minute interview, Michael was quizzed on rumours of child molestation and the pop star had this to say:

"Totally false. Before I would hurt a child, I would slit my wrists. I would never hurt a child. It's totally false. I was outraged. I could never do something like that."("Michael Jackson Interview")

He also states that he believes his fortune and fame maybe a reason as to why these rumours and false allegations even started.

"Because parents have power over children. They feel they have to do what their parents say ...But...the love of money is the root of all evil. And this is a sweet child. And to see him turn like this, this isn't him. This is not him"("Michael Jackson Interview")

All charges towards Michael had been dropped but not without first tainting his supposedly-clean image of a humanitarian and a man who loved children.

"Know why? People think sex. They're thinking sex. My mind doesn't run that way. When I see children, I see the face of God. That's why I love them so much. That's what I see."("Michael Jackson Interview")

Michael was also said to have done multiple plastic surgeries to his face, which initially began with a bleaching that changed his skin colour from ebony to white. However, the stories didn't stop here. Jackson was accused of having done multiple work on skin, nose, forehead and chin.

Just as how regular celebrities get multiple rumours said about themselves, Michael Jackson was one of the unfortunate few who was targeted at every instance of his life. However, how much of the rumours are true are however,impossible to confirm without proof.
