Oh well. You can’t please all the people all the time. Next time though, you might want to read more carefully, and attack someone who’s actually attacking Michael.

Since his passing I feel we should be more loving and understanding of the people who seem “a little different”
then the rest.

God Bless You Michael. I pray you are in heaven with all of the angels watching over you.

Love you more Mike!!

Not just a cleft, but his chin has completely changed shape. And he was always thin, so weight loss can’t account for how his cheekbones changed over the years.

Nor does aging account for all of that.

MJ, IMO lied about how much plastic surgery he had. I have watched him in MANY interviews, and I’ve seen MANY photographs, and as much as I love MJ, I cannot be blind to the fact that he’s had at least 10 surgeries.

Another thing, with or without plastic surgery no one over the age of 50 looks like they did as a child. MJ had 2 nose jobs and a cleft put in his chin. First nose job was due to an accident on stage where he broke his nose. That nose is the one from Thriller era. The second nose job and cleft appeared with Bad. The rest of the changes you are so convinced you see – fed by tabloid lies – are due to losing all the pigment in his skin and aging 20+ years. Look at a pic from Bad and compare to the last rehearsal – same face just OLDER.

Common sense should tell you that anyone who had all the surgeries the tabloids claimed would not have had the facial mobility he had.

Here is a well thought out website going into the details of the MJ “child molestation accusation saga” from start to finish: http://whoismichael.com/index.htm

As for the vitiligo, he did, in fact have vitiligo. I know this because I’ve seen many concert photo stills where he’s on stage, and the sweat and heat of the lights has caused some of the makeup to fade. He was clearly afflicted with the disorder. His makeup artist of over 20 years has also corroborated the vitiligo story on video. (Plus I really don’t think MJ would lie about having an illness that is just so upsetting to people who have it.)

Obviously with vitiligo his skin wouldn’t have a perfect even tone. I know he wore makeup for a really long time (because of all the photo stills where you can see the vitiligo over several years of his career), though he could have bleached it toward the very end. The vitiligo also goes along with the umbrella and full covering clothing he wears outside in daylight because of the extreme risk for skin cancer.

The thing that puzzles me the most about MJ is that he lied about how much plastic surgery he had, consistently and repeatedly. It’s incredibly obvious he’s had a LOT of work done, not just the two nose jobs he admits to. I believe MJ had Body Dysmorphic Disorder which led to so much plastic surgery (Personally I thought he looked good even as late as 2001 but whatever happened between 2001 and his trial was “too much” Though part of it could have been stress and weight loss as well.)

I wonder if the BDD could have made him be in an extreme enough denial about it to lie about the number of surgeries? He seemed generally honest and decent in all other areas, so it seems bizarre that he would lie about something so blatantly refutable unless that is a part of the illness.

I think it’s also likely that the vitiligo helped contribute to the BDD.

RX drugs could have led to his death, as could the BDD cause of all the surgeries, as well as not eating enough. All three factors contribute to a weaker heart. I wish someone had gotten to him earlier (Preferably around the “Bad” era) and gotten him into treatment for BDD, he might still be with us then.

What stood out the most, however, is that this young man lived and was educated in the United States, yet whoever made that statement clearly does not speak English as their first language.

For those reasons, among others, I believe the alleged admission of lying is a hoax, I don’t think any reasonable person would believe it was authentic, and I don’t think a judge would see the humor in it at all. For that reason, if that’s your blog, I’d remove the post before I got hit with a libel suit by that young man.
