Michael Jackson Story Unmasked, The Page #5

---

at his Neverland ranch in Santa Barbara.

Micheal went public with his denial

of inappropriate relationships

with any child and settled out

of court with the family

for a reputed $20 Million.

This was a start of a chain of events

that would ultimately damage Michael's

career in a profound way.

It was during this time that

a highly scrutinised marriage

took place to Lisa Marie Presley,

whose father was one of the few men

who could rival Michael's worldwide fame.

Despite media speculation about

the credibility of their relationship,

Lisa Marie and Michael were only too happy to

publicly denounce rumours

and declare that their love

for each other was genuine.

The marriage was short lived

and ended on amicable terms in 1996.

Within a year of separation,

Michael's association with his

dermatologist's assistant,

Deborah Rowe led to an announcement

that she was pregnant with his first child.

Soon after this,

the couple were married in Australia.

Deborah gave birth to a son,

Prince Michael Jackson junior

followed by a daughter,

Paris Michael Catherine.

the relationship was not to last

and by Autumn 1999 the couple

announced their intention to divorce

with full custody of the children

Prince Michael the second.

selling only 2 Million Copies in the US

and after an association that

spanned over 20 years,

Sony failed to renew its contract with Michael.

The king of pop was loosing popularity.

We were already off the wall

and we're coming off our seats to stand up

for justice in the music industry.

This is very important,

because throughout the years,

black artists have been

taken advantage of completely

and it's time now that we have

to put a stop to this incredible,

incredible injustice and

like Mr. Joplin was saying,

people from James Brown to Sammy Davis Junior,

some of the real pioneers that inspired me

to be the entertainer that i am.

These artists are always on tour

because if they stop touring they

would totally go broken and uh,

it's been... The record companies really,

really do conspire against the artists.

They steal, they cheat, they do whatever they can

especially the black artists.

Yeah.

Now let me say this

Sony Tommy Mottola,

Tommy Mottola is the president

of the record division.

He's a mean, he's a racist

and he's very, very, very devilish.

Pass it on this way, and whoever else

who are artists that are on their
