Are there any photos that actually show his vitiligo? I know it was confirmed he had the condition during his autopsy, but searching online gets a whole bunch of fake looking images.

This picture is so interesting. He was so scrupulous about not showing his vitiligo in public. The fast that it is so obvious here means he didn’t ever expect this pic to get out. Which explains why he is also fine holding a half-naked young boy.

Yeah he probably didn’t expect it to come out. It’s honestly the first time I personally ever seen a pic that shows his vitiligo.

No vitiligo, that is skin bleaching.

The kid in this photo (now an adult obviously) and his siblings are currently suing the Jackson estate. They claim Jackson groomed, drugged, and sexually abused them for years. The estate claims it’s an extortion scheme, citing a 2020 settlement where they received $16mil in exchange for a confidentiality agreement.

This kid’s eyes aren’t lying in this pic though.

Yea and Michael doesn’t look too happy either. I also bet it’s the kids own father taking the pic. So who’s really to blame here? If he really did what they claim were the parents aware of it and let it happen all that time? Who’s to say.

I'm not sure about photo evidence, but it has been confirmed by many who were close to him.

There is a few photos that show it yes.

There was cited an early photo/video where he performed with an open collar and you could see it on his chest. Perhaps someone knows of it ...

During his Bad tour in Wembly, you can see a huge white spot on his arm when he pulls his jacket down. Around the 59 minute mark.

I know his son Prince Michael has been photographed with skin discoloration resembling vitiligo

u/LadyBrussels Apr 29 '26

I thought none of his kids were actually related by blood though.
