[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Michael Jackson

Julie:
There was an article in the L.A. Times today by a columnist 
who has interviewed Michael Jackson numerous times from his 
childhood. One part of this article stood out to me. The 
columnist mentioned going through old photos once with 
Michael and coming across one of Michael in his late teens. 
Michael called the photo horrible and noted how he had so 
much acne and really hated his big nose. He also recalled
how around that time people would come to his parents' house 
(where he was still living) and look him right in the face 
as ask where that cute little boy Michael was, not even 
realizing that this teenager with acne and the "big nose" in 
front of them was that little boy Michael all grown up.

It's very sad.

Michael said his father (which I have no regard for-sorry) 
made fun of him commenting on what big nose he had,hence the 
8 nose jobs he had and therefore breaking the cartrilege and 
resulting in not being able to breath through his nose anymore.

Since his death, there have been 4 people very angry who has 
commented about how all this could of and should of been 
prevented. (His nanny, His family lawyer, Dupack Chopra (close 
friend)and his Spiritual advisor.) People all around him knew 
what was going on,celebrities who know pay their respects, 
also knew. He was in great pain emotionally, he didn't like his 
self, this has been going on for years. His family also knew 
this but let it go on. I do not care how famous you are, how 
much money you have, you are still a person and someone should 
have cared then and done something. This is what makes me so 
angry that no one cared enough to be blunt, to do whatever it 
took to say "Michael you're going to die if you continue like 
this". Michael was looking for help in his songs, in the 
plastic surgeries and his drug use, it's amazing what power 
does and how it keeps people quiet. These people who spoke up 
must have signed the confidentiality clauses but yet chose to 
speak out, for that I choose to admire them but I also wonder 
if he was still alive if they too would of done anything 
different. It takes a death.........and that's sad.

I'm searching for the world that I come from
