Experience
I too have done extensive research on Michael jackson and his entire family. I have read everything that has been written about him and his family, Going back to when he and his siblings were born up to the present. However, I have gone one step further- I always read a part and FULLY analyzed it (in some cases did further research/investigating to make sure that what i was reading was in fact the truth. Also I too am in the process of writing a book about his life and his career in both spanish and english.

Jackson, Michael - Lisa Marie Presley

Expert: jomaria Holloway - 10/26/2009

Question
Okay, there is so much talk about Lisa Marie Presley and why she married Michael Jackson and about how she gave the relationship her all and MJ was a hard person to live with. I know Lisa helped him through the 1993 allegations and rehab and all that but hello? I'm I missing something? This woman has come out and said stupid stuff like he used her and manipulated her by calling her in 1993 and making her feel like she was the one he could turn to and her mother said the only reason he had sex with her was becuase he wanted Elvis' grandkids and all that stupid stuff, so why do people act like she gave the marriage her all and MJ was the bad guy, I mean isn't this her fourth marriage? I don't think living with her is easier than living with MJ, and why did she promise him kids and then go back on it and then come running back offering to have 9 kids and expecting him to take her back and yet MJ's fans fault him for not taking her back? And now the wench comes out and the first thing she says in connection to MJ is how great her husband and kids are, no apologies for telling people that he was manipulative and he used her and also for calling him the biggest mistake of her life as early as last year. And did she really refuse to answer his call for help last year? I know she was hurt but so was MJ so why is it okay for her to have said so much crap. Some people say he used her but what about her and breaking her promise and wnating a music deal and getting pushy about him joing her cult and hanging up on sick girls who called their house and insulting him and calling him an idiot and an mf. Sorry for venting I just want to understand what this whole thing is about, because I am wondering if I am missing something because I don't understand why people are making MJ out to be the bad guy. Please just enlighten me on the situation, I'm I missing something?

Answer
Hello Mary, Thank You for your question. First, When it comes to Lisa Marie in general I feel in some capacity she did love Michael, and was in love with him. She has said in many interviews that she did in fact fall in love with him and that in the beginning of their relationship/marriage she did feel that there was a connection between them. She has also stated that she felt that she could "save" him. She has also felt that Michael was misunderstood, and that it was unfortunate that not alot of people knew who he really was or the "real" michael that she knew. Michael, himself also loved lisa marie and felt that she loved him, So why would he not turn to her when he was going through the stress of the allegations. If you are with someone and are in love with someone, when you are going a stressful time such as these allegations were, Who else would you call on other than your significant other to help you through it? She was not manipulated in any way shape or form. Alot of the comments that Lisa Marie has made I feel were out of anger, and hurt not necessarily towards Michael, But the against the media's constant scrutiny of their relationship, marriage, and ultimately their breakup. I do know that after a while she refused to even comment on him or their marriage, This was because alot of the comments that she would say would be misinterpretted and taken out of context. So she just would not say anything. As for her mother- Priscilla never did like michael jackson and did not like the fact that her daughter was married to him from the beginning. So any comments that she would say were made because she just did not like him. How is wanting to be a father and wanting to start a family with your new wife, being manipulative and calculating as Priscilla called in an interview. Lisa, said herself that she wanted to have children with him. For a while in the late 90's it did seem for a while that he had taken her back. They were seen together in London. She and her children attended his concerts during his history tour. She also went to South Africa with him and other tour stops. They were also seen at the Ivy restaraunt together. I think Michael tried to work things out, However as you stated when it was time for children, She went back on her word. Why she did that, When it comes down to it only Lisa Marie knows why. She did state that she did meet Prince, Michael's oldest son, and that he was a good father. She also did attend his funeral at Forrest Lawn where she was visibly distraught, especially when the casket came and was brought to the front. Basically Mary, You are not missing anything. Their relationship was a complex one. However, I do know that for a time, Even though it may have been brief he was happy.

Hope this helps... God Bless
