Diana Ross Speaks Candidly Michael Jackson & Their Relationship! | the detail.

Diana Ross was probably Michael Jackson's most enduring famous friendship as the Supremes star introduced him and his brothers to the American public at the start of the Jackson 5's commercial success in 1969.
Over the years two bonded and they shared a natural affinity with each other that continued into adulthood. Although in later years, Diana felt that celebrity and his immense success took Michael away from her causing the two to fall out of touch. Here are her words as she speaks over the years about their connection, giving an insight into the man and the magic behind Michael Jackson.

Hello Dinorah 👋👋 How are you doing and how's the weather over there ?

[@elowyn9664]

Michael was a gentleman. He never said anything to compromise Diana in public. But they were lovers for a long time. She worried about the age gap and wouldn't come 'out of the closet' about their relationship. He was disappointed. The song 'Dirty Diana' is about her. How she still continued her firm grip on his life even if he dated other women. Btw, on Neverland he had a separate room dedicated to her. It was filled with huge photos of her and various other stuff.

[@millennialodyssey5956]

Lisa Marie was . There is a difference between infatuation and love. Especially when you are young. But real love is hard its beautiful but hard. It challenges, changes you and breaks your heart. But at the same time you can't see your life without them. That is most likely why even after Lisa and him divorced he tried to come back to her for 4 years. That is true love. But an addict can't love well. But his initial infatuation with Diana well Not every attraction is love.

@@millennialodyssey5956 you have to understand something of Michael Jackson met her at a young age and he liked her of course you're going to have a crush on somebody when you're young and they usually Fades as you get older but the thing is as Michael Jackson became a grown man his feelings for Diana Ross transcended into more than a crush it was genuine pure love or he wanted to marry her people don't understand that I know cuz I've been through that phase before I've had crushes on people and infatuation with people but over time they faded as I got older but as I became a mature woman love is a totally different thing it's more. Comes from the heart and that's what Michael Jackson felt for her because if it was infatuation he would have gotten over a long time ago as he got older to know his love for her is genuine it's just the age difference is what was a problem at least for Diana it was
