Michael Jackson 'Secretly' Admitted To Being Molested As A Child, Close Friend Says, 'Touched...'

Pop sensation, Michael Jackson hardly needs any introduction. Currently, audiences worldwide are enthralled watching MJ’s rise to stardom in the biopic, Michael. The biopic of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, has created a huge buzz on social media. Jaafar Jackson, who is the nephew of the late singer, played Michael on-screen. Amid this, MJ’s close friend, Geoffrey Mark, made a bombshell revelation. Amid reports that surfaced claiming that the pop music legend allegedly sexually abused multiple individuals as children, Mark’s revelation was indeed shocking.

Michael Jackson privately admitted to being sexually abused as a child to his close friend, Geoffrey Mark

In a recent interview with The New York Post, Michael Jackson’s close friend, Geoffrey Mark, opened up about an unheard traumatic incident of the late pop icon. In the interview, Geoffrey revealed that once Michael had privately admitted to being sexually abused as a child to him. Mark stated that when MJ was a child performer, he was inappropriately touched by an adult. However, to Michael, it was normal as never considered it wrong. For the late singer, it was a natural act, and he considered it to be playtime. Mark was quoted as saying:

"Michael told me he experienced abuse as a kid.  He was inappropriately touched by an adult. Michael said that he was sexually abused. He didn’t use those terms, because he didn’t think of it as abuse or sex. It was playtime. Michael shared, very broadly, news that there was intergenerational touching and beyond. It’s not like Michael said, ‘Oh, I was abused.’ That would never have crossed his mind. Because he had been conditioned that this was normal and natural. . . . Other then it did happen a lot, it was a part of his growing up and was normal."

Geoffrey Mark shares his take on the sexual assault allegations against Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson spent a lot of time with children, including Wade Robson, James Safechuck and Frank Cascio at his Neverland ranch and on world tours. However, in recent years, Wade, James and Frank accused the late pop icon Michael of grooming and molestation. In a separate 2005 court case, Michael Jackson was found not guilty of child sexual abuse allegations made by Gavin Arvizo. During the same interview, Michael’s close friend, Geoffrey, shared his take on the following.

Geoffrey stated that Michael sought to relive his childhood memories, not realising that his experience was distorted. Mark mentioned that, according to MJ was not evil and a paedophile. But he is not sure what really happened to the accusers who claimed that Michael molested them. Mark was quoted as saying:

"If I thought that Michael was evil or a predator, if I thought there was evil intent on his part, I probably wouldn’t be talking about it. Michael, to the best of my knowledge, thought that he was entertaining children the way he was entertained. I can only react to what I saw and heard. I was not in the room when Michael was with the children."

Michael Jackson's personal life

Michael Jackson was married twice. He first got married to Lisa Marie Presley in 1994. However, they split less than two years after their secret wedding. Later, he married Debbie Rowe. The couple had two children, a son, Prince and a daughter, Paris. But in 2000, Michael and Debbie parted ways. Two years later, in 2002, Michael welcomed his son, Bigi, via surrogacy.
