So if he is a racist, how come he didn’t say the same to Michael J? Does he consider himself white now
I don’t really think Tony Mottola said that. I just think that Jackson is pissed because his album didn’t do well and he is blaming Sony for it. He just wants to start some drama.
I agree. However, if you looked at Tommy Mottola’s actions of how he treats his artists as of late, Not only it’s been nothing less than stellar, but down right criminal. He trying to ruined his ex-wife Mariah Carey publicly in the press. Then his run-in with George Michael in the early 90’s (before Mr. Michael’s gay-outing in a Beverly Hills public bathroom with an undercover cop a few years back), and worst, he stole 80’s pop/songwriting duo Daryl Hall and John Oates’ money at the time he was their manager. Then there’s allegations of Mr. Mottola being tied to the mob in Vanity Fair six years ago. I think the management at Sony should take a hard look at Mr. Mottola and treatment of his artists because it’s affecting the bottom line to the company and they need to take actions against him…NOW!
