first let me tell you my personal feelings about this man before I post the article;
I had great respect for him as an entertainer, dancer, innovator.
I could never understand the accolades he received for his songs, I always thought they were pedestrian at best, yet he performed them so well I thought he was a genius.
Then came his personal trouble, I remember the claims that he used female hormone to keep his voice high, I knew otherwise however.
I met him personally, he was a gracious gentleman and I was informed the injections people thought were female hormones were actually medicine he could not function without, though at the time I was led to believe he had klinefelters syndrome and those injections were actually MALE hormone not female.
When the accusations arose of him with children I personally poo poo’d those accusations, however I was genuinely disappointed he settled the first case.
I understood at the time that he was too frail and timid to proceed with a public trial but I knew settling the case would ruin his career forever…and of course it did.
I always defended the man against social discourse, having met him and understanding the nature of accusations for self gain, having been a victim of the same thing myself.
However I stopped defending the Michael the day I saw video of him holding his child above a balcony.
I said to myself, *this is one troubled man but I never thought that trouble would translate into endangering a child*
Then his death and I really had nothing to say about it, I didn’t expect him to live a long life having known about his poor health condition.
At any rate, there is now an article that puts pen to paper, explaining his health issues, why the makeup and why the skin.
It has explanations along with criticism, it’s not a puff piece and to me it looks genuine.
There is much of the enigma explained here so if you have an opinion in either pro or con about this entertainer, read this article, you will be quite satisfied for answers to just about all of your questions and the enigma will be no enigma at all
It was clear that he was in no condition to do a single concert, let alone 50. He could no longer sing, for a start. On some days he could barely talk. He could no longer dance. Disaster was looming in London and, in the opinion of his closest confidantes

do real the article, it explains just about everything, the masks, the wigs, the sun glasses, the white skin, the solitude
Here’s another article citing Lupus and Vitiligo:
Hi Perris, I’m not a huge fan but I did admire his showmanship quite a bit. I find the article linked as a bit sensational. It was DEBT and not greed that drove Michael Jackson to make a bid for another comeback, imo. If he had the money, he would have continued to stay out of the public eye. His career was over and he knew it.
It was disastrous to make this impossible committment.
It’s a very sad story. I don’t know if he molested kids or not. I think he was inappropriate with kids, his own and others’ and that is enough for me to be turned off Big Time. IE I would not allow my child to sleep in my best friend’s bed let alone a Big Time celebrity I have no social recourse with. It. is. not. appropriate. Period. Completely unhealthy.
my two cents!
If a genetic survey of Michael Jackson determined he had Klinefelter’s Syndrome that would open up a complete explanation of his behavior and how it became progressively more perverse as he aged.
That extra X-chromosome has been associated with 56% of Dutch male prison population with some higher levels in all countries studied, uncontrolled impulsiveness. It generally produces advancing psychiatric disorders and many physical disorders. It is far from the two dimensional perspective of a Testosterone Deficit believed since its discovery.
Those that play the blame game with him fail to see he had no control of his deteriorating biochemistry and it seems those physicians he employed only dispensed incompetence. Most physicians still see it as a Testosterone problem. That extra X-chromosome entrains hundreds of extra proteins.
He may have been an adult however with his position of money and power he needed a Legal Guardian to judge and rule on every decision he impulsively made.
to be fair, I’m the one that thought he had klinefelters, this author says it’s Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency
I assume they are not the same
I might think if it’s klinefelters then the family will hide that fact since most are sterile and it would obviously indicate the children he claims to have fathered are not his
No, Klinefelter’s Syndrome is entirely different than alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency.
Just because Michael J acquired a fetish of wearing masks it is highly unlikely he had alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency.
The main logic against this is because he sang and danced both requiring an enormous increase in the respiration rate which is not possible with alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency which is akin in symptoms to COPD.
Hmmmm. Looks a bit like a whitewash. Too naive to realise that sleeping in your pyjamas with small boys is a bit odd, yet not so naive that he couldn’t pick up a waiter in a restaurant, despite being skeletal and unattractive, and too frail to dance. And you don’t need a doctor to figure out something was up with him. Which particular thing is not all that interesting given that he’ll pretty much be forgotten in a few months.
