I think its really disturbing...This kid said Michael said "If you love me, then you have to sleep in my bed" Thats so wrong..I'm sorry..but he says theres nothing 'sexual' happening, and even if there isn't it's still wrong..

I think you misunderstood the situation. He was saying "you sleep on the bed, as a guest". Michael slept on the floor. He made it seem like he was being a good host. That was something that seems really important to him.

I'm not defending him, I'm making sure quotes are accurate.

Luckies,
He has a father....he isn't a bastard in the literal since.

One thing I found interesting was that the children had nanny's. And...the part about his first wife "giving" him children as gifts. Did anyone else catch that? I wonder what type of woman could make that decision. How wierd that she doesn't even want to see him. FYI, his wife was his physicians assistant.

Wolf_q, I don't think he's a psychopath...

The thought keeps crossing my mind....

He seems to be fasinated with children (obviously). What if he's right? What if he is innocent on all counts of sexual acts with minors? What if it's more along the lines of say... a voyeristic kick?

I just think, on his part, he should have been honest about his plastic surgery. It is obvious that he has had more than 2 surgeries on his face...and if he is lying about that...who knows what else he lies about (when it is such a blatant lie about the surgeries...i mean, come on...its just too obvious)...if he lies so freely about this....who knows about his so called "innocent" relations with children.

I do feel bad for him, thinking about how horribly he was treated as a child really disturbs me, and i would never want to come face to face with his father...such a horrible man...but he is just too off the wall at this point...

Even though, he has this fasination and deep love for children, he should realize that he needs to be the adult and say enough is enough...it just wouldnt be appropriate for them to sleep over...

Anyway, it was interesting and creepy and sad all at once...just like him...

Guess I can't judge him, until i've walked in his shoes...but he really has made some off the wall choices in his life...for sure!!

Thats my 2 cents worth

I'll just say this - he's a psycho, and I can't stand him at ALL!

Actually if you listened to the whole thing he DID sleep in bed with the kids! He talked about how Macally (sp?) Coulken and his sister and him would all be squished together in the bed and he would make them hot chocolate and eat cookies with them.....

I only saw about 10 min of it and found it disturbing!!

The words that were quoted here were in regards to the 12 year old boy with cancer (the boy he was holding hands with). He slept on the floor, while the boy and his brother slept in the bed. He did admit to sleeping in the same bed as Macaulay Culkin and his brother, while their sister slept "over there".

Dear Pet Talkers,

I read your comments with interest as I, too, found the Michael Jackson interview to be very bizarre, indeed.

As the interview progressed, I began to think that he really BELIEVES the things that he says and expects us to believe them, too.

If a 44 year old man believes himself to be a perpetual Peter Pan and builds himself an empire called "Neverland", then I think he has a serious problem discerning fantasy from reality, and quite frankly, I think that he wants to and will sustain that belief for the rest of his life. *This behaviour seems appropriate in some ways, since he is a former child star who was robbed of not only his childhood, but also his innocence.

One of the segments that I found the most upsetting was the footage of the shopping spree where he indulged himself like some kind of pasha while his adoring fans waited outside for a glimpse of their hero. Come on!! Get a grip!! He is nothing more than a self-indulgent spoiled super star showing off for the media. What is all this talk about humanity and caring about others in the face of such blatent, gratuitous over the top spending!!! His altruistic philosophies do not match his hedonistic actions, in my opinion.

As for his obsession with children, well, I do not buy his rhetoric on the subject which he essentially summed up over and over with the "what the world needs now, is love, sweet love" philosophy. Any parent who would believe that and allow their child to attend one his sleepovers needs to look at their own motives.

In the final analysis, he is a sad figure, constantly looking to the outside material world for what he lacks inside.

These are my thoughts....regards from Deborah in Montreal.

I didn't watch it. I've seen enough of that whacko in the media to last a lifetime.

I truly feel sorry for his children. They need a normal childhood without the veils, masks, etc.

I believe Michael needs a psychiatrist to help him deal with all his demons. Any 44 year old man who prefers the company of children as opposed to adults is in serious denial and need help.

As far as his children are concerned, they need to find "normal" homes that will treat them like children not possessions.

One more comment...I can't stand the man. Never have, never will. He's in need of serious counseling.

Thats not what they said..they said WITH him..thats what the kid said...why would the kid be like "I was like, oh man, well if i have to" or whatever if he just had to sleep on the bed? Doesn't make sense that someone at rich as him can't afford a second bed

[mugsy]

I remember watching him as a kid (he's only 3 years older than I am) and I really liked him and his brothers. I didn't watch the show, but, I guess my question is, why aren't his siblings that weird? Now I understand that they are a little left of center also, but not totally over the edge like he is.

I think parents let their kids go with him so they can say they know MJ, and that's just sick. I feel sorry for his kids and don't think he should have custody of them or unsupervised visitation, but then, I'm not in the situation. I feel sorry for him to an extent. He has the means to get help and never sought it. And while I think he's a kid in a 44 year old body, he has to recognize that he's not a normal person.

HE IS SOO SCARY!!! AHHHH!! I personally i REALLY REALLY think their is somthing wrong when he sleeps with children, not even some of the parents sleep with their children.

***umm..NoahsMommy? Isnt "Robin Hood" the guys who steals from the rich and gives to the poor?? And "Peter Pan" the one who live in Never never land??

[COCatMama]

I think he's a child molestor and a total and complete FREAKAZOID! and the only reason he is not rotting in prison is because he 'bought' his freedom. Did you see the footage of him force feeding that toddler? VERY DISTURBING
*shudder* And whatever quacks, er doctors, that did all that to his face should lose their licenses!!!

[HoRsELUvR]

i didnt see it.I dont think i can tolerate Michael Jackson for two hours.I heard about all the disgusting things he has done and besides-HES REALLY FREAKY!

It sort of reminds me of the fairy tale by Hans Christian Anderson about the Emperor's New Clothes. The emperor was actually naked but no one wanted to tell him because supposedly, as the story goes, if you couldn't see the clothes you were stupid. It was an honest child who finally said "the emperor is naked." I think it's sort of like that with MJ. Everyone around him tells him things he wants to hear and no one dares suggest he might be a "little off." In his mind he sees nothing wrong with his behavior because he has surrounded himself with people (on his payroll) who help to keep this fairy tale life going.

I found it interesting that he became angry with the interviewer after it was over. He felt 'betrayed' as he said. Perhaps as a result of the interview he got a little glimpse into just how weird he really is and now realizes he is "naked" (symbolically). Just a thought...
