In 1994, one year after Michael Jackson first charged him with many allegations of child sexual abuse, he did something that shocked the world.
He married Lisa Mary Presley.
The King of Pop and Elvis Presley's daughter are unlikely to be combined at a time when Jackson's private life is facing unprecedented scrutiny --
That is to say, a string of close friendship between him and the little boy.
Jackson had a brief relationship with actress Tatum O'Neill and Brooke Shields in his 70 s and 80 s.
His romantic relationship with adult women after 80 s
Or a man, for this. appeared non-existent.
But until this time, Jackson often appeared in public.
Fellow teenage men, including Wade Robson, James Safek and Jordan Chandler, will continue to accuse Jackson of molesting them.
It was his relationship with Chandler that turned speculation about Jackson's close relationship with young boys into a media storm.
On 1993, the boy's father accused Jackson of molesting his son, claiming that Jordan had exposed details of their sexual contact under the influence of drugs during dental surgery.
The case was settled out of court and the Chandra couple received a report worth $22 m.
But now, people focus on Jackson's unusual personal life.
"I remember Michael saying to me that he will have to build this public relationship with women so people don't have any ideas," James Safek revealed as he left Neverland, the new two
The documentary details the charges against Jackson against him and Robson.
"He always says he has to get married at some point, but that doesn't mean anything.
"Mother of Safechuck Yanzi --
Then I don't know the alleged abuse.
I think Jackson is a close friend of mine.
"One day I got a call from Michael.
"Stephanie, I won't come over as usual," he said . ".
This is a short call.
I hung up and went to my husband and said, "We have just been looked silly ".
"On May 26, 1994, one year after the sexual abuse case in Chandler was closed, Jackson and Presley had their wedding in the Dominican Republic.
Their first meeting was in 1974, when Jackson was 16 and Presley was 6, and since then, they started a friendship with adults in 1992, often talking on the phone.
Despite their long friendship, the media and the public did not even know the couple when they got married.
The wedding was kept secret for two months, and Presley finally confirmed the union's identity in a statement: "I love Michael so much and I have dedicated my life to being his wife.
I understand and support him.
We all look forward to supporting our families and living a happy and healthy life together.
We hope our friends will understand and respect our privacy.
Presley is the mother of two children, a five-year-old. year-
18-year-old daughtermonth-
Old son at the wedding.
Just 20 days before her marriage with Jackson, she divorced the child's father musician, Danny Keio.
Jackson has been wary of his private life, complaining about the constant invasion of tabloids, but his marriage to Presley has changed.
They first appeared on TV together and took part in 1994 MTV Video Music Awards, and their brief appearance on the stage was clearly just an opportunity to show their relationship with the masses. "Just think —
No one thought it was going to last, "Jackson said as he motioned to his wife for three months before they hugged each other and locked their lips.
On June 1995, they sat down with the reporter Diane Sawyer for a television interview.
The problem is that Sawyer clearly does not believe that his allegations of child sexual abuse against Jackson are Frank. "What is a 36-year-
Sleeping with a 12-year-oldyear-old boy —
Or a series?
She asked Jackson.
"I never invited anyone to my bed. ever.
Children love me; they follow me.
Presley defended her husband.
But when she told Sawyer that she saw the children around him, her defense caused a stir.
"They don't even let him go down to the bathroom without running in with him . . . . . . I even went out when he jumped to bed.
"He jumped in with them," Presley said . ".
"But, as an adult and a child of love, is it not part of keeping the child away from ambiguous situations? " asked Sawyer.
"Will you let your son do this when he is 12 years old?
"If I don't know Michael, there's no way.
But I happen to know who he is, who he is, and I know he is not that kind of person.
"I know he's good for the kids," Presley said.
Sawyer also asked about the couple's sex life.
"Did we have sex?
Yes, yes, yes, "said Presley.
When his wife answers these tough questions, Jackson's behavior becomes more and more interesting and childish.
Their public performance extends even to Jackson's music career: his 1995 R. Kelly-
A sad ballad, you are not alone, is accompanied by a music video that is inexplicably filled with the scene of the couple running naked.
Presley filed a divorce application in early 1996 on the grounds of "irreconcilable disagreement" and stated in her document that they separated in December 1995 and were hospitalized just after Jackson collapsed, which
As part of the settlement, Presley received a ten-percent royalty from Jackson's greatest hot collection history, including "You're not alone. "
Although they were separated, the couple were found together between 1997 and 1998, and Presley traveled with Jackson for his birthday.
On November 1996, Jackson held his world history tour with his old friend Debbie Luo in Sydney.
Their more unusual combination lasted only three years, during which time Luo gave birth to Jackson's two older children, the Prince and Paris.
One of the most painful moments of leaving Neverland was that Jackson's plaintiff, Wade Robson, told about one night between him and Jackson, which happened when he was 14.
Robson was in September 14, 1996.
"I rarely see Michael.
Still talking to him.
But less, two or three times a year.
"Whenever I am with him and spend the night anywhere, the same sex happens," he said . ".
On an increasingly rare visit, Jackson tried to launch something the couple had never done before: penetrating anal sex.
Robson claimed: "Michael tried to penetrate me . . . . . . It was really painful for me and it was so painful that he stopped . ".
Lisa Marie Presse made her debut again in 2003 with her debut solo album becoming a top albumfive hit.
Despite widespread skepticism about her relationship with Jackson, Presley insists that their marriage is true --if unorthodox.
To promote the debut album, she sat down with Sawyer again, who did not punch.
"Michael Jackson?
Why did you marry Michael Jackson?
What are you doing?
"The interviewer asked, eight years later, the train wreck prime time special program.
Presley suggests that private Jackson is very different from the people his fans know.
"First of all, he's not stupid.
He did not achieve his goal because he was stupid.
Unfortunately, not many people know who he really is because he doesn't let anyone see it.
He had an idea of how he should represent himself to the public, and he thought it would work for him, and that was the kind of meek, victim, quiet thing he did.
"He wants to lock you in, he wants to hook up your interest, catch you, he can do it no matter what he wants to do with you.
He is capable of doing this.
"I really fell in love with him.
I'm telling the truth.
