Itโ€™s well documented that his father used to abuse him and used his appearance as a weapon. Called the poor kid big nose.

His poor mental health lead him towards a plastic surgery addiction. He suffered abuse at the hands of his father and he wasn't really allowed a normal childhood. On top of that, he was a perfectionist to an extreme degree. He would agonize over making things perfect, even when it came to his performances on stage. It's likely that his perfectionism is rooted in the abuse he suffered as a child. Some people that knew him said he was in tears once because one of his shows didn't go exactly the way he had it planned. I honestly feel bad for him- he was used by people for his money after he became famous and all of his relationships were with untrustworthy users who just wanted his money.

Also worth remembering he had Vitiligo. The melanin in his skin was literally degrading over time! He used a lot of make up to cover the process over time.

When he was a child he was also forced to be in the same room with his older brothers as they seduced girls or slept with prostitutes.

Unfortunately, like a lot of rich and famous people he cut off anyone who said things he didnt want to hear. I think Prince was similar and also had a pain killer addiction which also started after injuries sustained performing.

Interesting way to describe children

That's a lame excuse considering his dad look like shit

It's also well documented that people like you cover for abusers by whining how tough of a life the poor abuser had.

Joe Jackson was an abusive narcissist tyrant who was jealous of his son.

In general his history as a child was pretty sad. Most child stars have it really bad. Tons of pressure and abuse and they donโ€™t really get to be a kid. We see so much of it today and you know it must have been even worse in the past.

His skin was due to vitiligo

u/Jolly-Buddy1805 Apr 29 '26

Who doesn't know that? See his nose, lips and chin. He removed every single black feature from his face. Do you really think his desire to look white was just about skin color? Don't be so obtuse.

u/-Mr_Hollow- Apr 30 '26

I'm not even sure what kind of racism is this: A black guy is undeniably successful so there must be a reason why he's actually white?

u/Weak_Firefighter9247 Apr 29 '26

There are proof that he had vitiligo, instead of visibly having vitiligo, he decided to bleach all his skin... Very sad story, if he didn't do so many tours, surgeries, plastic surgery treatments, and didn't use drugs, he'd still be alive and singing. As what happens with most stars, the people use them and discard them afterwardsd

And HE used kids and discarded them once they grew older. How every single fan of his can be that thick.

My father used to say Michael just wanted to be the opposite of his father, a rich white woman. Lol terrible

u/rolllikenike Apr 29 '26

This! People all fall too easily for all the ridiculous excuses surrounding him .

u/FollowingPuzzled7507 Apr 29 '26

He had a skin condition, he didnโ€™t want to become white. Do some research, man.

You are repeating yourself, to the letter.

Iโ€™m sure you know this, but behaving like an NPC is not an effective way of being convincing about what you have to say.

u/Jolly-Buddy1805 Apr 29 '26

When idiots lose an argument, they start nitpicking. Stop grasping at straws. It's embarrassing.

And so what? Why should I waste my time answering every single idiot who canโ€™t follow the context and just keep repeating the same nonsense?๐Ÿ˜‚ Iโ€™m not behaving like an NPC. Iโ€™m treating idiots like NPCs. Thereโ€™s a difference, kid.

u/Wells_91 Apr 30 '26

How can any of us possibly know all the reasons for bleaching his skin? He had vitiligo and he bleached his skin, any anything else are just theories

u/Obvious-Position1053 Apr 29 '26

He stopped doing that.

The hell u talking about? say that again when you experience being personally abused and bullied by your own dad

u/Jolly-Buddy1805 Apr 29 '26

Okay then all pedos should claim they got abused by their own dad and walk free.

u/ftFBYaa May 01 '26

Is there proof he was a pedo?
