On May 26, 1994, Michael Jackson married Lisa Marie Presley in a secret wedding in the Dominican Republic.
It was a match made in music heaven – Michael Jackson, ‘The King of Pop’ and Elvis Presley’s only daughter, ‘The Princess of Rock ‘n Roll’.
When the couple’s relationship finally went public with Jackson kissing Presley on stage at the 1994 MTV Video Music Awards, the pair’s union was dubbed by many as “The Marriage of the Century”.
“I am very much in love with Michael, I dedicate my life to being his wife,” Presley said in a statement confirming their marriage.
“I understand and support him. We both look forward to raising a family and living happy, healthy lives together. We hope friends and fans will understand and respect our privacy.”

After watching the film, reading the books I personally believe the allegations may be fake as previous ones were. This maid was sacked for stealing and was part of a group of sacked former emoloyees who were paid to lie to repay their debt +legal fees + cost of hundreds of thousands of stolen goods from Michael Jackson. Is it possible that he may be innocent? Isn't it a coincidence that only 4 accusers exist despite many friendships with children and every one wanted millions (in this case billions of dollars). Was Michael Jackson different? Than who? Show me another abused child star from a very working class background who had unparalleled success, was sexualised and abused at a very thing age (he was forced to perform in strip clubs from age 5) and given unparalleled money and succes. Wouldn't you act different to the average Joe on the street? Is it possible we are quick to judge? Is it possible that one of the down sides of the otherwise wonderful #metoo movement is trial by media where innocents have lost their reputations. Time for balanced reporting?
But there weren't just 4 accusers, there were also the two Mexican boys in 1985/86 that was investigated by the FBI. There was the English boy and the mastrubating phone calls in 1979. And there was the child protection officer who lodged a complaint when she saw how Michael J was acting with a child on a trip to the Grand Canyon and heard disturbing noises coming from the room he was sharing with the boy.
I'm a big MJ fan musically, I think he was super talented. But I don't automatically disbalive a whole bunch of children because I like someone's music.
No, the man was an abuser. Take your MJ stanning and justifications for his despicable behaviour somewhere else.
There were many other victims, 2 more have come forward in the last 3 months, but they do not want their names in the press (and I think we can see why). Regardless, molesters do not molest every single boy they come across. Some only have a few victims. Where this 'oh he would have molested hundreds' that some fans come up with, I don't know. He took years to groom his victims. That didn't allow time to molest every boy he saw.
There is no smoke without fire. Jackson was a very sick man with a disturbing obsession with young boys - and always boys of pre-teen age. Never girls. Most pedophiles prefer one sex over the other. If he was innocent, he would have spent days in hotel rooms and at Neverland with girls. He didn't. No one who watched that documentary can possibly come away with any belief except that the men were telling the truth about what Jackson did to them. Safechuck's story of shopping for wedding rings and having a wedding ceremony with Jackson was even backed up when after the documentary aired, a news anchor thought it sounded familiar, so searched and found newsreel footage showing Jackson and Safechuck looking at rings. Basically, the mens testimony has been proven to be true. And really, no man makes this stuff up, ok? No man makes this stuff up.
And please enough with the he had no childhood narrative. He had quite a privileged life. Many child stars had it far far worse than he did, indeed, many ordinary children go through far worse, and they don't grow up to be child molesters. Lets stop looking for excuses and face the facts. Often the truth is the most obvious answer.
