Michael Jackson’s life was plagued by several allegations and controversies ranging from his alleged sexual involvement with young boys to his rumored plastic surgery transformation.
The singer died at the age of 50 from a heart attack as a result of a medication overdose, which was administered by his personal doctor, Conrad Murray. Conrad, who was later charged with manslaughter, once shared that the late singer had attempted to marry two child brides during his lifetime.
Michael Jackson’s child-bride allegations
Conrad revealed this mind-blowing information about Jackson in his book, This Is It, claiming that after Jackson’s failed marriage to the late Priscilla Presley and his second wife, Debbie Rowe, he considered getting married to his goddaughter Harriet Lester while he kept Emma Watson on the reserve list as an option.
Jackson was friends with Harriet’s father, Mark Lester, and the singer had his eyes on her since she was just five years old. By age 12, Jackson couldn’t resist any longer, and the thought of getting married to her was all that was left. Conrad added that he became Jackson’s confidant, and the late singer entrusted him to speak with Harriet’s father as regards his marriage proposal while he consulted legal advisors to “review the legality and ramifications” of tying the knot with a 12-year-old bride. The physician also details in his book that Jackson has been fixated on Watson since her career-launching role as Hermione Granger in the 2001 Harry Potter film series.
Michael Jackson lived a complicated life
With Conrad’s revelation, it seems Jackson was sexually interested in children even though he was unsuccessful in his attempt to marry a young bride in his lifetime. Conrad described Jackson as a very complicated person; hence, he always refused the urge to advise him on controversial and sensitive topics.
The doctor claimed that Jackson was innocent and helpless about falling in love with children, and he became a prisoner of his choice as he experienced “unrequited love.” Conrad is happy to share Jackson’s story, and he noted that the legendary singer wanted him “to tell this story— now I am fulfilling his wish.”
