Lisa Marie on Michael Jackson virginity and child abuse allegations in new book | Books | Entertainment


Before her death at just 54 last year, Lisa Marie Presley was working on her tell-all memoir. Aside from being Elvis Prelsey’s only child, she was breifly married to Michael Jackson in the early 1990s.

Having hoped to have a better life with someone else in the celebrity spotlight, she soon discovered that the King of Pop was “still a virgin” at 35.

She claimed Jackson had only kissed Tatum O’Neal and Brook Shields, and hooked up with Madonna where “nothing happened”, before he became frisky with her.

Lisa Marie writes in her posthumous book From Here to the Great Unknown: “I was terrified, because I didn’t want to make the wrong move. When he decided to first kiss me, he just did it. He was instigating everything.

“The physical stuff started happening, which I was shocked at. I had thought that maybe we wouldn’t do anything until we got married, but he said, ‘I’m not waiting!”

Lisa Marie recalls “I was actually so happy. I’ve never been that happy again” during her brief couple of years married to Jackson. She added: “There was an energy there, something about him that was truly remarkable, something that I’ve never ever seen or felt in my entire life, other than with my dad. … I fell in love with him because he was normal.”

Elvis’ daughter also addressed the allegations of child molestation that plagued the King of Pop during and after his life. Lisa Marie said: “I never saw a goddamn thing like that. I personally would’ve killed him if I had.” Despite not believing the paedophilia accusasions, Jackson’s ex-wife didn’t want to have children with him, which contributed to the end of their brief marriage.

Lisa Marie wrote: “I knew he ultimately wanted to be the only caretaker of the children. Michael wanted to control things. He didn’t want a mother influence, or any other influence, for that matter. I figured Michael would have me have the children and then dump me, get me out of the picture. I could read him like a clock. I knew his nature, and he was very controlling and calculating.”

This, plus his increasing drug depency lead to the marriage ending after less than two years and Jackson cutting off contact with her. She added: “I can get really mean and really angry and I freak people out when I get like that. It comes from trying to protect myself from pain. I know people can hurt me, so I’ll shut them out. I learned from the best: Michael Jackson. He did it really well.”
