Michael Jackson: One Star Outside, Mr Lonely Inside

If we talk about the era from 1980 to 2001, then we must say that Michael Jackson was rising as a star. From the best-selling album, “Thriller” to his latest hit album, “Invincible,” he made a different image that only he could compete with. In his stardom, everyone could see the person, who was the best entertainer on the planet but no one could see the person off stage. He was fighting alone against media people and “Michael Jackson haters.” But, the most surprising thing is that, after all the false accusations and litigation, he managed to keep that smile on his face.

Today, the world says that Michael Jackson lived a real life, had a lot of money and was so perfect and happy that he could get whatever he wanted. The world needs to know that behind that center of attention, there was this person who was totally different from what was represented by the media.

“Stranger in Moscow”, the song that premiered during the Age of “History”, materializes his inner desolation and the feeling of being totally alone and deceived by his trusted ones.

“Hope is such a beautiful word, but it often seems very fragile. Life continues to be hurt and unnecessarily destroyed,” he describes the degree of discouragement he carried with him.

During his interview with Rabbi Shmuley, who worked with Michael on the “Heal The Kids” charity initiative, Michael himself said: “Whenever I walk down the street at night, I see people looking at me and at that moment I desperately want to ask them if they want to be my friend “. When Rabbi Shmuley was asked about Michael, he said, “the singer was a tortured soul.”

Certainly he was very lonely and after being humiliated by the tabloids and paparazzi for years, he was desperately looking for ordinary people to become his friends. Behind that beautiful smile, he always tried to hide his pain, tears, anguish, tribulation, and anger at the media.

According to Dick Gregory, comedian and friend of Michael’s family, “Michael always trusted the wrong person.” Dick also said that he advised Michael to be with his family as being alone could be very risky for him. He told him that all the people he trusted had betrayed him.

If we talk about Jorden Chandler, the boy who made the allegations of sexual abuse against Michael in 1993, what do we conclude? The bottom line is that Michael trusted the boy and his family and allowed them to enter his royal home called “The NeverLand”. The important thing we need to know here is, how did they return the favor? Well here comes again an example of how his isolation and loneliness became his own enemy.

If we talk about his marital life, also in this chapter Michael does not seem so lucky. When he married Lisa Marrie Presley, the only daughter of Alvis Presley, he shocked the world and was very happy as you can see in his videos and the Primetime interview in 1995. But this marriage did not last long and in 1996 they divorced . Once again, the wheel of life returned to where it began to turn. He was devastated, but somehow he showed the world his smile, proving how strong he was by heart.

“In his final days, Michael Jackson was paranoid, lonely and devastated by child bullying and sexual abuse,” mentioned by his former personal bodyguard, Bill Whitfield and Javon Beard in their book, “Remember The Time: Protecting Michael Jackson In His last days “.

It would not be surprising to say that Michael Jackson was not murdered by the wrong administration of the drug called Propofol, but it would be sufficiently justified to say that it was the media and the tabloid press that contaminated his pure and innocent image, the ones that killed. him and of course! the ominous Loneliness that accompanied him from the day he reached the pinnacle of Success to the day he mysteriously passed away, leaving all his fans around the world mired in pain and wonder.
