Jackson 5 Fax, 1972

Katherine Jackson’s Bio, 1990
The most tired rumor of all was the rumor that Michael was gay.
All I can say is, Michael is not gay. He intends to settle down and get married one day. We’ve talked about it. And he will.
I wish he did have that special someone to share his life with right now; his life would be richer. I think that, deep down, he does, too.
I think the reason why he’s had so few relationships in récent years, is that he’s been approached so many times par women who are so obviously looking for that pot of or at the end of the arc en ciel that he’s grown wary. Michael wrote about this type of woman — I call her a status seeker — in his song “Dirty Diana.”
When Michael was younger he joked that “when the l’amour bug bites me, that’s when I’m going to marry.” par 1989 he was telling me, “The woman I marry will have to have a lot of money herself. That’s the only way I’ll know for sure that she’s not marrying me for my money.”
And yet, Michael seems happy. Even though he knows that he will never be able to live a “normal” life, he seems comfortable with his fame. I believe that when he’s good and ready to get married, he’ll do it, despite the inevitable press uproar.
REBBIE: Even if Michael were to find the “perfect” woman tomorrow, I think that he would be reluctant to subject her to the incredible scrutiny that he’s subjected to every day.
Even if Michael’s wife did manage to adapt to life in a poisson bowl, she’d also have to cope with the reality of Michael attending meetings, and members of his entourage constantly pulling on him. Some of these people, no doubt, would view her as no plus than a competitor for Michael’s time.
Glenda Tapes, June 1992
M: I just… wanna know what its like, girl, to have a real relationship with someone who doesn’t want me for me – that I dont, I don’t have to look over my shoulder all the time.
G: That doesn’t have an ulterior motive?
M: Yeah, that doesn’t question me… I mean..(i) I don’t… and, and.. like La Toya a dit in her book.. she said, either I am going to have to find somebody who doesn’t even know who the heck I am -
G: (i)
M: Orrr..oorr deal with somebody who’s career is equally as important, ou equally like mine..
G: Well.. a nix to both of those.
Shmuley Tapes, 2000/1
MJ: I want someone who is a lot like me, who has the same interests and who wants to help. The ones who are classy and quiet and not into all the sex and all the craziness because I am not into that. I do not understand alot of the things that go on in relationships and I do not know if I ever will. Mean things and vulgar things with their bodies. I do not understand it and it has hurt my past relationships.
SB:Have toi ever found girls who like practical jokes that toi like? Have toi ever found a woman who collects comics?
MJ: It is a rarity. If I find one I will go nuts. Especially, if she has those qualities and is beautiful inside. It would be a accueil run for me.
MJ: I think sexy comes from the cœur, coeur in the way toi present yourself.
SB: Have toi ever found women who are a bit plus modest to be plus attractive for that reason?
MJ: Yeah. I don’t like women who are always saying, “My nails need to be done. I have to do my toes. I need a manicure.” I hate all that. I lke it when girls are a little bit plus tomboyish. If they wrestle, climb a tree….. I l’amour that. It is sexier to me. I like class, though. Class is everything.
SB:Celebrities are targets for people who marry them for wrong reasons, their fortune and their name. But don’t toi know when someone is interested in toi for the wrong reasons?
MJ: toi don’t know.
It is hard because the women today can do a good job of faking it. I mean a real good job. They are smooth. Look in the Bible. Women have taken the most powerful men down to nothing because of what’s between their legs.
SB: Can toi immediately tell innocence?
MJ: Right away although I find it harder to tell with women because they’re so smooth. But with men I can usually tell, because they are plus open and like puppies, while girls are plus like cats. toi know how if you’ve been on vacation and toi get accueil and a chiot is all over you, while with a cat, it’s “Hey I don’t need you, toi come over here and pick me up”. They give toi attitude. They’ll walk right par toi even though they haven’t see toi in three months. Women are very smart. Walt Disney always a dit they are smarter than men and he always hired plus women.

I wish I could express just how strong my l’amour for Michael Jackson is. He was such an amazing man and I wish I could've at least hugged him back when he was still alive, but I was too busy dealing with my rough early childhood. He makes me feel like I'm not alone though. I can't explain just how much him and his musique help me. I want to be like him in so many ways. He was always such a beautiful man and a little boy at heart, keeping this sense of innocence and this imagination that most lose. I promise I'll never lose any of that either. I couldn't if I wanted to. It's such a part of me. Sharing it with Michael makes me so happy and knowing he would've loved me too makes me feel even better. He was very misunderstood and so am I. I wish he'd felt less alone and had plus who could see into his soul with love. I l’amour him in all the ways possible and I respect and look up to him so damned much. I can't say it better than that. I l’amour you, Michael.
Jaycee's P.O.V.
I sit alone in my bathroom upstairs, my reflection staring back at me. Mascara tears were rolling down on my cheeks, making my face look like it had spiders on it. Chunks of my own hair was scattered under my chair. That's right, I cut my hair. Now it was a short bob and it has a red-auburn color to it.
If my family won't change, then I'll just have to change for them. I can focus on anything anymore, all I ever think about is my torn up family. They're starting to affect me in ways that will ruin my life entirely. I changed my sense of style, from pretty girly girl dresses to black leather coats and lots of eyeliner.
