Mark Lester - The real Michael Jackson

Mark Lester talks about his friendship with Michael Jackson. His trial. Trouble Life. Success and so much more

[@mikegwitty8107]

Michael Jackson is not the black king of pop. He's the king of PoP! King of music period.

[@chazbayley]

He was so much closer to Michael than people realise. He was a real friend. Family even. It’s a really shame that they have no contact with the kids anymtor

[@nonasanders8026]

I don't think if mark Lester as a good friend, he talks too much about things that should be private, in my opinion he tries to make himself relevant cause what has he actually done since Oliver. He says he was a sperm doner again in my opinion if this happened at all it was when Michael and Lisa were trying for a baby or so Michael thought and she wasn't getting pregnant possibly Michael thought he was the problem but he wasn't Lisa remained taking contraceptive pill which led to their divorce. Michael is 💯those children's daddy. Everyone says Bigi is most like him, so why wouldn't the other two be his. Mark Lester should really keep quiet. Again needs to be relevant

[@andyroo9381]

I have a big problem with the two, adult, accusers coming forth, now, and saying they were molested. How can their claims be answered to now that MJ is dead? Why didn't they come forward, much earlier? I have issues with their claims and their timing. It is my understanding, a U.S. judge threw out the lawsuit. I could be wrong but I don't think it went anywhere.

[@missethio7394]

The reason why they came out with the movie ‘leaving neverland’ is bc their lawsuit was thrown out and they want to bring it back by causing the public’s sympathy!! This is what the people don’t know about these guys. They where trying to cause controversy and get their lawsuit back but I don’t think American judges are that easily manipulated

I have a big problem with Wade myself. I haven't totally made my mind up over James. I have, and I haven't - I think he's backing a dead horse (Wade.) I know I can get played a little by "the wide eye, I did nothing wrong act," but I don't believe Michael actually did any of what they were saying especially when they started to speak about "the sexual part" but they both had a friendship with Michael at one point and you do, do nice things for people you care about, Michael was a billionaire and I believe toy shopping was like have anything you want not just because he was a generous man because he wanted a friendship with the boys. You hear the boys back stories at the start of the documentary and how both lads weren't the type to play basketball or kick a ball that they both were quiet, the type to sit down and read a book and I think both boys and Michael found common ground with each other. Michael helped Wade tremendously, for example, buying camera equipment for whatever it was Wade was doing. He even got both Wade and his niece together - you wouldn't do that for just a random boy. They had a very deep bond, but until Wades Mother said she didnt want her son to be taken halfway across the world so Michael could do wonders for his career and really help Wade but Michael knew that he couldnt do anything without his Mothers permission so when Michael does that speech where he's telling Wade happy birthday and in his words "he thinks Wade should spend time with his family because they brought him into the world" i can not only tell thats so edited and chopped but Michael sounds so removed in his voice so when he tells Wade goodbye. Its goodbye. They would never have what they had again because it was probably both advised by people around him and his choice to cut ties from Wade. So when Wade was really dropped because Michael's advisors and other people who travelled with him would be telling Michael this any agents, any other thing Michael could once do for Wades career had to be dropped. You cut ties with someone you don't do favours like you once did. You move on. Since then, Wade has become obsessed. Before now, he said how he wanted to dress, dance, and be Michael Jackson. Then he writes a book on him telling the world how wonderful Michael Jackson was, and I'm sure Wade got paid well for that. It started from Wade speaking as if he was in an intimate relationship with Michael because who starts a sentence with Michael and I as if theyre an item and he can speak for him - to finally pursuing Michael and mostly Michael had none of it except to reluctantly give Wade permission to shoot some footage on his land for Wade to get. Other than that, Michael wasn't interested. He'd said his goodbyes and moved on. Don't forget abuse claimes came out during Michael's time on earth - yet both Wade and James wait until he's passed to do it. They could have done it then. Bs they both "weren't in the right headspace to do it" oh, and know after Wade being found to have lied under oath, I don't believe a word coming out of his mouth. I find Wade a very cocky, sure of himself, fella, and something about him specifically winds me up because there is something about Wade instantly I don't like or trust.

I always wonder if Mark is doing the right thing when its to set the record straight about Michael Jackson. Mark never talks out of turn of him, he's always kind and stays away from the general nosiness from the inquiring public.. I feel bad for Mark sometimes because he's put under pressure by certain interviewers grilling him but then again he's obviously said he'd do an interview and of course when Tatiana Thumbtzen has gone ahead with her interviews Michael has gone so far as to cut her out of his life because she publicly spoke. I do think for Mark it must be difficult to stay in the frame of mind of defending Michael but equally having to think what could something I say be taken out of context so I'm just wondering if Mark is doing the right thing, because journalists tend to fixate on something for a story, which could equally be causing the Jackson family to have tighter control over Michael's children and I'd hate to think in any way Michael could be angry at Mark for telling the truth about him because they both knew things taken are taken out of context and because tabloids make their money from Michael's life - I understand Michael liked to keep himself to himself and I think therefore became very private and I believe it if anyone said he had trust issues because I think Michael got to the point where everything was so negative that he didn't want anyone to know his business because if he wanted others to know the real him he'd show it, but he only revealed it to a select few trusted people - I do wonder if Lisa Presley saw another side of Michael other than Mark, because Mark was a mate, and couples do argue but I believe Lisa saw another intimate side to him. But at the same time I do agree Michael Jackson needed some supporters and the people who knew him to say he would not do certain things and both Lisa and Mark revealed that there was never any innapropiate behaviour, ever. You even have Elizabeth Taylor saying the same.

[@aece8673]

What happened with Tatiana?

[@alcudiababe1]

@@aece8673 she was iced out of his circle. Dropped - and she felt it. Even though she made that bold move of kissing him on stage which perhaps Michael didn't mind that (but production team and the record label did) but when asked to do interviews about him that perhaps were pushed on her but she spoke out on her relationship with Michael. This guy was insanely private because at the time, the media circled over him and Princess Diana all the tabloids and the media and press focused on was all over them whether they wanted it or not so because of that and all these articles in papers basically over their lifes it would have made them insainly more private over romantic relationships. Michael says to Opera how certain things are personal to him like his medical history or his relationships especially when asked if he was a virgin! He dated, he had interests in women but that meant for anyone he dated never to go on talk shows, or say yes to do interviews on him never ever to engage the press because they can twist your words and the fact that she kept appearing on telly to discuss Michael suggests she was either in it for the money or the attention it brought her. It's just something you don't do if you are, or happen to date a celebrity. Tabloids are made all the time over them so any piece of information they'll be all over it! Michael would have found her untrustworthy and she was iced out. She kept going on telly explaining how hurtful it was and why isn't this man pursuing her but she needed to stop. I don't know how true it is but it was said she went after Prince and it was stated that even he didn't trust her and them two were rivals anyway so Michael wouldn't have wanted her back. Having trust issues anyway Michael would have been mortified seeing and getting to know all this - plus, she wasn't even a celebrity, people like Brooke Shields and Lisa Presley were going to get grilled from interviews - that was inevitable, but after Tatiana was shoved aside unfortunately for her she was dropped, and then appearing on all these interviews crying about it after didn't do her any justice or credibility. They may have had a little romance and she fell for him but if she wanted to be successful why not open a ballerina business and do something like that instead of then writing a book about him - she just wanted to be somebody for five minutes but when she stepped up and spoke she had to take responsibility for her actions not cry about it. Yeah fine go away from the camera and lick her wounds in the comfort of her own home. Michael dropped her the first time, and let's give her the benefit of the doubt perhaps it was done by accident that time but then having to keep popping up saying why isn't this man pursuing her? He didn't want her. That's it. If he wanted her he'd have pulled all the stops to be with her, to him, then, she was a liability and then she took business and romantic knowledge from his Dad? Joe didn't speak for Michael.

But the thing is Michael Jackson did what Michael Jackson wanted to do so even if he had an advisor and they were saying he perhaps shouldn't do something because this is how it will look to other people, but I think to the most part he was in his Michael Jackson land, doing his Michael Jackson thing and nievly I want to believe he didn't know what he was doing, but I watched Into The Mind Of Michael Jackson recently where Mark said that Michael said he will do things to get talked about because the worst thing about being famous is not being talked about and he will do things - plus backed up with this in the Michael Jackson Tapes (which was transformed into a book) he said about remaining a mystery and if you read between the lines he created a push pull concept with his audience - where he was letting them in, letting them know him and then all of a sudden it's more like close enough back away let me live my life, because I can't go to the park, I can't go to Disney land and by looking into his eyes, hearing this small voice you feel sorry for him but he was creating that push pull effect with the audience to gain their interest, i believe, creating stories, and even Lisa touched upon this talking to Opera, saying, "he has some idea of how to handle the public and it was working for him but now it's not." By doing things to get himself talked about backfired and made him into a circus. It's almost like a child. He can't get the positive attention so he's going to get the negative attention but by doing that he's messing with his image he puts out. So it's not like he's nieve to the reverse psychology. Which he used on Lisa so she knows she had been played and goes on the record saying this on Opera, so I believe he used tricks to get boys attached to him within his care. Lisa says, he's not stupid, he's very intelligent although he comes across as meek he's really nothing like who he really is, she says and I believe her, I don't disbelieve her because she's even closely guarded what she lets out but she says and Opera he puts on the charm, this charisma, this magnenimous side to him and if he wants to pull you in, hell pull you in and I've never forgotten that.

[@daintygirl9034]

Thank you for your good And intellectually honest assessment. I can’t believe all the delusional people on here who are talking like a bunch of 13-year-old girls talked about George Michael in 1987 lol as if he’s a god. All human beings are human beings Who have good things and bad things about them, even the best of people. Everyone should know by now that is true of famous and talented people too

[@monicafranklin-nr1te]

He didn't try to get boys attached to him. Michael didn't think like that. Clearly, u think like that. MICHAEL LOVED CHILDREN OF ALL RACES, GENDER AND ECONOMIC BACKGROUNDS. IN PARTICULAR HE EMPATHIZED AND CARED FOR SICK AND TERMINALLY ILL CHILDREN. HE WOULD FIND KIDNEYS, BUY THEM TOYS, PAY FOR MAGIC SHOWS, AND REALLY TRYING TO MAKE THEM HAPPY AND LAUGH! NOTHING SICK AND OR SEXUAL! THATS THE TRUTH RATHER U CAN BELIEVE IT OR NOT. MJ COULDN'T HURT A FLEA LOL
