He was for sure Gay or Asexual because not 1 woman has ever claimed to have had sex with Michael Jackson. He seemed to run away from women whenever they would start to become intimate with him. Michael didn't even have his own kids he had a surrogate mother artificially inseminated to have his kids. Why? Because he didn't want to have sex with his wife. None of the women who were with him have flat out said that he had sex with them they always beat around the bush. And Michael always beat around the bush as well, both figuratively and literally.

[@DennisCorrea87]

The man was gay what straight men looks like he did. Who sleeps with kids that aren’t he’s in bed ? Regardless of he’s childhood trauma there no excuse the world wanna paint this man as a straight so bad. Once the door close no one knew who or what he was or did.

MJ dated Stephanie Mills, very briefly Tatum O'neal. MJ loved and obsessed over Diana Ross. Their 14 year age difference didn't bother him one bit. He seriously thought they were going to get married and have children. He spoke of his love for her in magazines back in the 80s. There were rumors going around that they were dating. MJ was heartbroken when he found out that she married her now-late husband Arnaz. He was pissed at the 1986 AMA. Some unreleased songs that talked about heartbreak were written right around the time he found out about him. There are dozens of videos on here that explored their "friendship"... There was a clip with Tatum O'neal several years ago "joking" about how Diana Ross was his g/f before her or that he couldn't stop talking about her --- something to that effect. He joked with someone that Diana Ross was the "one who got away." Bodyguards from the 80s and 90s said MJ used to invite girls to his Neverland Ranch and take them on dates at his ranch (obviously he couldn't go out in public with him). He had to play the eligible and single role for his female fans---but he did date. Even in his moonwalker book, he talked about how hard it was for him to date b/c he didn't know if the women were dating him b/c he was "Michael Jackson" or if b/c they actually wanted to get to know him. He said they always wanted to save him from his loneliness. He had nudes of Vanessa Williams and wanted to date Halle Berry (but she turned him down). From what I remember, he sorta was feeling the video girl Tatiana Thumpzten until she started talking too much about working with MJ and even made a small joke about dating him on a late-night talk show... and the kiss stunt she pulled definitely ended whatever could have happened. Frank Dileo his manager said that YES Michael did date and spoke to him women he was interested in. Lionel Richie's ex-wife was friends with Michael and he would talk to her about girls he was interested in or briefly dated. His long-time friend Frank Cascio wrote about a woman who used to visit MJ a lot back in the late 90s. William Wagener who went to the trial (even called out crooked D.A. Sneddon for attempting to falsify evidence in courts) said he couldn't understand why MJ didn't bring in some of the women he dated over the years to prove he was "normal"... well MJ didn't want their identities revealed (and he knew how crazy the media was)... His bodyguards (2007 - 2009) talked about girls he dated. They even said they could hear MJ making out with them a couple of times in the limo. He had a girlfriend before he died. MJ was the biggest celebrity in the world--who lived his entire life in a fishbowl, maybe he just wanted one thing for himself.

[@ozymandiaspbs]

YES!!!! Great comment!!

[@mdiallo07]

I've been telling myself for years now that I have to buy that auto-biography book that MJ did. I would love to read things from his perspective. I also believe that MJ WAS NOT GAY!! Just bc he was secretive about parts of his private life doesn't mean he's gay. If you recall, Michael said in an interview around the time he was doing the album Thriller, he mentions starting to have friendships with people, he didn't get that growing up, his life was very controlled up until a certain point. He also mentions how uncomfortable he is around people and the real world, whereas being on stage and performing is where he's most comfortable.

Some parts in Frank Cascio's book were funny --like the part when they went to a restaurant in Manhattan and Michael saw roaches crawling on the wall and one of the waitresses killing another one like it was nothing...

Do you know how hard it is to make it in the music industry? 99% songs don’t become hits and even it’s even harder to keep your song playing years later and not have it fade away. It’s also hard to even remain relevant in the music industry

[@toms5048]

You need ways to remain relevant while also creating hits and Michael had to play the media and stir his name up in many ways in order not to fall off. Most people would not be able to endure the humilitations and laugher of people mocking michaels face or mocking him being a molestor but Michael was trained since age 6 to have thick skin and be the best in show business and do whatever it takes to win and be on top

@@toms5048 - In the music industry, MJ was a shrewd businessman. Off-stage, he was a quiet man who loved to read (his personal library had >10,000 books), listen to classical music (esp. Tchaikovsky & Debussy), & have fun with his family & friends (water balloon fights, etc.). Because he missed so much of a normal childhood, he tried to re-live it (creating Neverland Ranch) & he was very sensitive to children in need. He understood what it was like to miss out on the happy parts of childhood & gave what he could (donations of $millions, gifts, even found a liver for a child saving his life, visiting orphanages, hospitals & children’s hospices) to help those children. The media made a conscious decision to focus on ‘weird’ stuff (usually quoted out-of-context) instead of MJ’s music career & his philanthropy. MJ’s humanitarian efforts (“We are the World” effort in raising $millions for Ethiopia, “Heal the World” song & his Heal the World Foundation including Heal L.A.) are why his fans for the past 58 yrs & his new fans LOVE him - not just for his music & creative, innovative films, but also because of his caring & generosity up until that fateful day 25 Jun 2009.

@@toms5048 he had motown to launch him and train him into a seasoned performer. quincy polished him and produced his record breaking album and Michael made innovations in the music industry and saved MTV from bankruptcy. don't compare MJ to the cheap talentless tk tok acts of today. MJ worked extremely hard at his craft to achieve what he did. not saying he didn't use publicity to help him along but you're totally unread and uninformed to suggest he invited all the misery and trouble in his life. those who were closely associated with him and knew what was happening behind the scenes know better than you who come up with ridiculous conjecture.

So weird that the prosecution was trying to pain him as "asexual" when they would make it impossible, or at least have ZERO motivation, to ever molest or sexually assault ANYONE, yet their whole case revolved around trying to pin molestation/assault charges on him, lol. You need a motive for a crime, at the very least. So backwards and dumb.

[@mssha1980]

Child molestation is not a sexual orientation

[@DeathBringer769]

@@mssha1980 It still requires having *some* type of sexual drive, i.e. not being asexual. That's my point. It was a silly line of argumentation for the prosecution to try to use.

[@globalcitizenn]

The prosecution was really absurd

[@beazrich2.017]

that is false. I am aromantic and asexual and it’s very possible for some person to commit sexual offenses and still be asexual. Only difference is that we’re unlikely or almost never commit them. I certainly never have because I see no point in it. I can’t even do consensual sexual activities so why would do a sexual offense? Asexuals are not children you know?

Jackson was the greatest entertainer of all time. He also owned things people thought he shouldn't. Thank you for clearly showing how he was a target. Nothing new for a black man.

How you think Michael picked Ray for Thriller. He spotted her in a playboy magazine.

Girly magazines I’m 26 and I know that’s old school lol

If only time machines existed.

[@suicidality2744]

Michael was never gay. He was just so painfully shy he couldn't even talk to women he found attractive. He also wanted someone who was genuinely attracted to him not someone who was just interested in the fame and money.

[@kamikazekid94]

Michael was not gay. And even if he was who cares.

[@tylers6611]

Michael got a bad rap. But I do think that he should’ve stayed far away from kids after the first accusation.

[@globalcitizenn]

Why would you give up a cause that defines you & your life, coz some idiot lied? I am glad michael never changed who he was to please others. Of course, he was more careful but that didn’t stopped Gavin Arvizo from accusing him even though he never shared a bed with him at all.

[@tylers6611]

@@globalcitizenn I agree with you. It’s just sad that sometimes you have to give up your passions for the sake of your well being. I don’t believe mike molested anyone. I just wish he wouldn’t have put himself in a position for an accusation to arise.

[@etherspin]

Is there anyone more level-headed and cool (in that sense) than Tom ? He would give Hannibal Lecter pause and probably dispatch a home burglar without raising an eyebrow "from the moment you set out to enter my house your plan was deeply and fundamentally flawed"

[@charlyb9194]

Michael LOVED women

[@globalcitizenn]

He did.. but he was looking for an equal who would understand him but that’s not easy to find when you’re THE Michael Jackson. He asked Brooke Shields to marry him, her mother said no. At least Lisa Presley gave it a shot.
