He was the King of Pop, Rock and Soul for the millions of fans around the world.
Each of his songs became a gigantic hit settling him firmly not only in the top charts but
in the Guiness Book Of World Records.
Though, all the success of Michael Jackson came with a price of the destructive wave
of rumours in tabloids and pop culture.

It’s probably the most famous rumour about MJ all around the world.
It was believed that Michael was allegedly insecure of his looks and started bleaching
his skins in the end of 80’s.
The society exploded with the news thinking Jackson was embarrassed of who he was.
In the broadcast of Michael Jackson Talks to Oprah Live, Michael responded
MJ explained that he had vitiligo and lupus illness, that destroys the pigmentation.
It was believed that Michael did use some lighter skin tone creams but just to even
the skin tone because of the problems.
Though, Pamela Lipkin a plastic surgeon, stated her skepticism about that in ABC News in 2003,
By the way, Jackson met his second wife, Debbie Rowe, who worked as a nurse in the dermatologist office.
The autopsy report in 2009 confirmed MJ had vitiligo.
Any way, true or not, as Michael said himself:”
All that matters is the music, right?
The man who was convicted of Michael Jackson’s death, was released from the jail, serving
the half of his term and wrote right a way a book about MJ live.
Dr. Murray was Michael’s personal physician in three last years before the star’s ultimate death.
The doctor claims, he’s sure was given hormones in the age of thirteen to stop his voice from breaking.
Michael Jackson is undoubtedly incomparable and unique in his style but he’s not the
only adult male singers, who can hit the high note and amazing falsettos.
Just listen to Smokey Robinson, Prince or Barry Gibb.
It cannot be true that all of these talented man, were treated with hormones.
The only thing that binds them and MJ - is talent!
There were a lot of rumours about Michael not being a biological father to his kids.
But this one is going beyond anybody's imagination.
In 2014 a claim that a DNA test confirmed Michael Jackson was the biological father
of musician Bruno Mars popped in media.
Four years ago, the entertainment website Empire News posted a story that Bruno’s
publicist was fired after leaking information about secret so-called family bonds of Bruno and Jackson.
The fake news quickly spread among the Internet users.
But the thing is, the Empire News are not posting the factual material.
On their own website they characterize them as following: “Empire News is a satirical
and entertainment website.
We only use invented names in all our stories, except in cases when public figures are being
satirized.”
Thought, regarding how much is Bruno alike to Jackson in style and moves it’s no wonder
a lot of people quickly pick up that “news”
The whole world seemed to be sure that Michael Jackson slept in a special hyperbolic, of
simple oxygen, a chamber so he could live as long as 150 years.
The photo of him lying in the chamber quickly got on all the tabloids pages.
Regarding his plastic surgeries people believed it was one more attempt to stay younger.
In the interview with Jackson, Oprah made a reference, joking that she could find the
chamber all around his house asking Jackson to explain the rumour about it.
According to Jackson the picture was taking after donated £900,000 to the Brotman Memorial
Hospital in Cali, to buy the necessary equipment for the recovery of fire damaged tissue.
Michael did that after being burnt while filming Pepsi advertisement.
He said he just wanted to try out the new equipment and layed down.
But the photo quickly spread around the world.
The Pepsi add caused some troubles for Jackson.
It was rumoured that Jackson wanted a white kid to play the younger version of himself.
He was very outraged by the fact people believed this gossips:
That rumour caused more harm to the Jackson family that one could think of at the starters.
The date was September 10 of 2001, when they both were in NY celebrating Michael’s 30th
anniversary at his concert.
We all know what happened the next day - 9/11 locked down the whole city, the only way out
of the city was to drive.
The legend goes Jackson, Taylor and Brando took a car road trip from NY to California.
And Marlon Brando was forcing the gang to stop at every Burger King and KFS they were
driving by.
But the story didn’t happen in real-life.
Instead Liz and Brando were staying in St Regis hotel,
while Jackson stayed in New Jersey with a wealthy family he’d know for quite some time.
But that legend became the core of the Urban Myths comedy-drama sixth episode.
Jackson’s daughter Paris was outraged by the episode trailer.
The fans called it insensitive to cast a white guy Joseph Fiennes to portray Jackson.
Paris tweeted it, calling it “shameful”.
The SKY Arts reacted to the tweets and decided not to air the episode.
No one knows where did the rumour started it’s way but this time not MJ became the victim.
The rumour stated that the first seven digits of the album’s UPC were Michael Jackson’s
phone number.
Apparently, all the phone-callers had to do, is to guess the area code.
Some used the area code of Encino, where Jackson lived in California and some called the toll-free
“800” code, reach to the poor lady Barbara Brown in Youngstown, Ohio.
She reported receiving dozens of calls a day asking for Michael Jackson.
She was not the only one living this nightmare in America.
The Bellevue Hair Studio in Bellevue, Washington, reportedly fielded fifty phone calls per day,
suffering from the rumour.
How on Earth did people believe that Jackson, probably the most popular persona in the world,
would leave his number in the public disposal?
That was probably the most painful rumour both for Jackson and his children.
People questioned a lot, whether Jackson fathered his kids because they looked Cocasian to be
Michael’s kids.
It was rumoured that Jackson asked for sperm donation from Arnold Klein for Prince, Mark
Lester for Paris and Matt Fidess for Blanket because he was infertile.
It sounds strange in the first place to ask people that you know to become biological
parents to the kids, when some day they can claim for your children, right?
Secondly, Jackson’s kids come from a biracial family.
Paris and Prince are Debbie’s children and Blanket was born from an unknown surrogate mother.
Just take a look at Rashida Jones, the daughter of Quincy Jones and Peggy Lipton; or Meghan
Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, who also come from biracial families not being very much
alike to both of the parents.
Prince was also spotted at the beach having the same vitiligo spots.
Any way all that matters is being a good parent and no doubts Jackson was.
Michael Jackson got involved into the sexual abuse allegations 1993.
Because of that he was rumoured to be a pedophile.
He became a close friend to the Chandler family back in the days and often had their son Jordan,
his big and his step sisters visit the Neverland ranch.
Jordan’s father started a lawsuit against Jackson and settled a year later, leaving
Michael to pay in total 23 million dollars.
It was not the only allegation Jackson received through his life.
Jackson was once more accused of inappropriate behavior in 2003, facing the case of People
vs Jackson onto his relationship with Gavin Arvizo.
MJ was found not guilty two years later.
He often had sleepover in the ranch with the kids but the publicity didn’t seem to like
it and found it creep, that 40-year old man is sleeping in the same room with kids.
But Jackson found it beautiful being around kids, laughing and playing with them.
Responding to provocative questions he sounds so naive.
He did not have a childhood and normal child life with friends and pizza at the backyard.
It seems that he was just trying to take this time back for him.
In his interview with the journalist Martin Bashir, Jackson was almost crying talking
about kids being lonely and broken.
We guess, he sometime saw himself in those poor kids, as he mentioned in his interview
with Oprah, he was often bitten by his father.
Jackson was terrified of him not only when he was a child but when he was an adult, too.
Michael Jackson is rightfully called Most Successful Entertainer of All Time.
Unfortunately, the stunning popularity has caused him much troubles and too precise attention.
In his interviews he asked more than once, not to believe the rumours until you hear
it from that very person’s mouth.
