Michael Jackson: Stop Calling Me ‘Wacko Jacko’

Michael Jackson, responding to a recent TV movie about his life and legal troubles, said in a statement he was tired of being “vilified” and taunted as “Wacko Jacko” in the public eye. “It is unfortunate that for years we have been targets of completely inaccurate and false portrayals,” he said. “We have watched as we have been vilified and humiliated. I personally have suffered through many hurtful lies and references to me as ‘Wacko Jacko’.”
