Michael Jackson Has Children In His Room For ‘Sleep-Overs’

During Michael Jackson’s TV special with Martin Bashir, the singer was asked about his multi-million-dollar, out-of-court payment to the father of a boy nine years ago following allegations of sexual abuse. Why did Michael do this despite his insistence of innocence? “I didn’t want to do a long drawn-out thing [trial] on TV like OJ [Simpson] and all that stupid stuff,” Jackson said. “It wouldn’t look right. I said, ‘Look, let’s get this over with. I want to go on with my life. This is ridiculous. I’ve had enough.”‘ The incident hasn’t scared Jackson from having kids sleep with him in bed though. “When you say bed, they make that sexual. It’s not sexual. We’re going to sleep,” Jackson explained. “I tuck them in and put a little like, er, music on and when it’s story time I read a book and we go to sleep with the fireplace on. I give them hot milk, you know. We have cookies. It’s very charming. It’s very sweet. It’s what the whole world should do.” Read more.
