Omer Bhatti Tells Friend Michael Jackson Isn’t His Father

Though Omer Bhatti was feted as Michael Jackson’s honorary son, the 25-year-old from Norway tells The Mirror that they have no biological link. “Michael is not my father. He and I were just very, very close. He was my best friend,” Omer told a close friend. “Michael always used to say I was like a son to him. But my true parents are here in Norway. The reason I was asked to sit with his family at the memorial service is because I was Michael’s closest friend – not because I am his son.”
