Just the other day news filled the airwaves that the King of Pop married Lisa Marie to acquire her dad’s catalogue. Now Lisa Marie is out to defend her ex-hubby.
Lisa Marie Presley is said to have bragged to pals about how “amazing” Michael Jackson was in bed.
Elvis Presley’s daughter was married to the King of Pop from 1994 to 1996, and reportedly told a friend they used to romp all night.
Lisa is said to have declared Michael was “hot stuff” in bed and that he was a passionate kisser who was into kinky role-play.
The claims were made in J Randy Taraborrelli’s book Michael Jackson: The Magic and the Madness.
Taraborrelli was a friend of the singer for 40 years.
In an extract from the book, serialized by the Daily Mail following the star’s death in 2009, he wrote: “He and Lisa appear to have had an intense and active sex life.
“She told a friend that he was ‘hot stuff in bed’ and ‘amazing’.
“Nevertheless, some of his habits were a little odd.”
The friend had told Taraborrelli: “The first time, [Lisa Marie] went to turn on the lights afterwards, and [Jackson] leapt out of bed and ran into the bathroom so she wouldn’t see his body.
“He emerged 20 minutes later, in full make-up and wearing a silk robe. Then they went at it again.
“He liked her to wear jewellery in bed.
“They were into role-playing games, although Lisa would never say who was playing what kind of role.”
It’s said that the relationship crumbled because Lisa didn’t fall pregnant immediately.
She opened up about their relationship in an interview with Oprah Winfrey after his death at age 50.
Lisa was asked about her description of her time with Michael as “the highest highs and lowest lows”.
She said: “The lowest was… you know, again when I talk about him, I now in retrospect want to make it very clear that I understand him now more than I ever did.
“So when I speak about him, I can speak about him with understanding and it’s all good now.”
She added that she’s come to have love and understanding for him again, despite being so angry at him when the marriage ended.
Lisa claimed Michael pushed her away and chose “the drugs and the vampires” over her.
She explained that by “vampires” she meant sycophants.
Lisa also drew similarities between Michael and her late father saying they both had the ability to create whatever reality they wanted to create around them.
In another interview, that the then-married couple appeared in together for ABC, Lisa defends Michael sharing his bed with children.
The singer, who has faced a number of accusations that he sexually abused young boys, is asked by the interviewer: “What is a 36 year old man doing sleeping with a 12 year old boy or a series of them?”
Michael says: “Okay, when you say ‘boys’, it’s not just boys and I’ve never invited just boys to come in my room, come on that’s ridiculous, and that’s a ridiculous question.
“But since people want to hear it, you know, the answer, I’ll be happy to answer it.
“I have never invited anyone into my bed ever, children love me, I love them, they follow me, they want to be with me, but anybody can come in my bed.”
Lisa jumps in to defend her husband.
She says: “I can say this, I’ve seen this, I’ve seen it a lot, I’ve seen kids, I’ve seen him with children in the last year, I’ve seen it enough where I can see how that can happen.”
The interviewer interrupts Lisa to point out that she herself has a two year old child.
Lisa cuts her off and tells her to let her finish her point.
She adds: “I just wanted to say that I’ve seen these children, they don’t let him go to the bathroom without running in there with him and they won’t let him out of their sight, so when he jumps in the bed, I’m even there, you know, they jump in the bed with him.”
Lisa was asked if she’d allow her son, when he reaches the age of 12, to do what these children are doing.
She says: “If I didn’t know Michael, no way, but I know who he is, and that makes it… I know that he’s not like that and I know that he has a thing for children.”
