Tatum O’Neal Denies Seducing Young Jacko

Entertainment Tonight reports Tatum O’Neal has responded to the Michael Jackson claim in the Martin Bashir documentary aired last night that the actress attempted to seduce him. “I am just as shocked as everyone else from what I saw last night,” says Tatum in a statement. “I have a great deal of respect for Michael Jackson as an artist and as a person. However, he has a very vivid imagination. His comments about our friendship were inaccurate. Michael did come over to my house when my father was home, but at 12 years old, there was no way I was capable of being as mature or as sophisticated as he claimed I was. My heart goes out to Michael Jackson and I wish my very best to him and his family.”
