The book says Johnny Jackson, a cousin who lived with the family from 1967 to 1976, told Gordon Keith (owner of Steeltown Records) that he once came upon a male relative who was an employee, along with a 12 year old Michael. According to the account, all three were nude and appeared sexually aroused. The book gives this as Keith relaying to the author what Johnny allegedly said.

The book also says La Toya witnessed Michael being beaten by their father but also believed Michael was molested by a relative. It says Michael learned she planned to say so in her 1991 memoir and threatened to sue.

At around 13, Michael was allegedly present while his older brothers had sex with groupies on tour, since they shared hotel rooms. The book says he saw it as coercive and degrading toward the women.

The author also describes a night when Michael was locked in a hotel room with two prostitutes, supposedly arranged by his father and brothers because they worried he wasn't interested in girls. It happened right after the Jacksons visited Elvis Presley backstage in Lake Tahoe, during the group's Las Vegas period. It says only that Michael was fifteen, and a brother phoned Michael to say he was sending over two friends to get an autograph. Michael trusted him, opened the door, and let two young women into his hotel room. It quickly became clear they wanted more than an autograph. The book says they had been hired as prostitutes to end his virginity. One began undressing and the other tried to unbutton his shirt. He brushed her off and went for the door, which turned out to be locked from the outside. He called out, and through the door he could hear laughter he recognized. The women could not arouse him, and the book says he was reduced to tears. As they dressed, he took a Bible from the nightstand and began reciting scripture. The book describes no physical contact beyond those attempts to undress him.

From then on, apparently, Michael used the Bible as a shield against any romantic involvement with women. The author backs this up right away with Theresa Gonsalves, a teenage fan who met Michael in Las Vegas that year. She said he used their time alone to preach against premarital sex rather than flirt. He also seemed preoccupied with sexual purity and with Satan.

Then, in the book, a friend from Michael's late teens recalled him being fascinated by the topic of child abuse and asking about how the friend was raised.

Summary:

Paris makes a point to only share her own experience and never gives suggestions or advice to others, saying, "I never tell people what to do."

She also says "Everything happens for a reason. Whether I'm going to see that reason now or I'm going to see it in 50 years... one day it's going to make sense." Quoting Ram Dass, she says anytime we identify with labels or roles given to us by others, we are in the "victim" role. When we shed those roles and get to our true essence, we are in the "creator" role.

She goes on to say "Learning how expectations kind of fuck us up." If she walks into a relationship without expectations, it creates a cool space for organic blossoming.

Paris recalled meeting her mom at 15. She wasn't nervous. She walked downstairs, saw her mom in the living room with her grandma, and immediately said, "Hey, mom." They talked and went out for the day. She notes they are very similar because they both have "fire" (Debbie is a Sagittarius, and Paris mentions her Aries fire in this specific context). She also recalled a conversation with her mom about victim mentality. Debbie told her that horrible things can happen, but if you choose to live in victim mentality, you are essentially saying you have no autonomy over your life.

She admits there are certain things she may not want to talk about in an interview or on her Instagram. However, when it comes to her art (music), she is going to be completely honest and share her experience.

Paris clarified that she only lived at Neverland for the first few years of her life. She said it was made "very, very clear" that the amusement park rides and the zoo did not belong to her and her brothers. "That was for underprivileged children and children that were terminally ill that couldn't go to like Disneyland." (To me hearing her say this out loud just reinforces exactly what Wade and James described about how Michael used the ranch as a grooming tool)

Alex asked about the masks Michael made the kids wear in public. Paris said it "made sense" to her as a kid because she was told if they wore masks, they could do normal things like go to Chuck-E-Cheese on the weekends. She said she always felt protected and had adults/security to grab onto. She said speaking at MJ's memorial at 11 years old wasn't planned. The family was on stage, someone asked if the kids wanted to speak, and when her brothers didn't move, she said, "Fuck it. We ball," and just spoke from the heart.

After Michael died, she went to live with her grandmother. She described this time as "rough" because she had been homeschooled and only interacted with adults, so she had a "crash course in gaining social skills." She traces her "addictive personality" and "graspiness" back to age 7-9, reaching for things outside herself to manage her feelings, which escalated to heroin addiction in her late teens/early adulthood.

Paris discussed how her lack of a normal upbringing affected her relationships, admitting she had no concept of boundaries when she was younger. She explained: "I definitely had issues with boundaries when I was younger. We're just like whatever, whoever kind of thing. Like I had hooked up with friends when I was younger and and realized that hey, you know, just because this is a really great friendship and we're in a really good place doesn't mean we need to take it further to make it better. And I've just learned that, you know, that's not for, you know, I just I have I'm learning boundaries and I'm learning that."

Paris says she has been sober for six years (since the first week of 2020). She did a really interesting exercise recently where she wrote her life story from the perspective of a "victim," and then rewrote it from a "zoomed out" perspective to find points of "initiation" and how her trauma could be "alchemized into medicine for other people." She credits her sobriety, setting strict boundaries, and a "no-contact" rule after her last breakup for making this the happiest year of her life.

NY POST..PAGE 6

JACK Gordon, the shady ex-manager/husband of LaToya Jackson, is spewing
outrageous allegations about her brother Michael Jackson.

Gordon says he has written a book called "The Jackson Family: The True Story of
the Most Powerful Family in the Music Industry." The slippery svengali has yet
to find a publisher for his wild claims, but Gordon vows to post his tell-all
on the Internet.

Among Gordon's wackier accusations:

* Jackson abused his pet chimpanzee, Bubbles, who died in the late '80s.
"Michael beat him up a lot," Gordon tells us. "I saw him punch him, kick him in
the stomach. The chimp was on the ground crying. Michael used to say, 'He
doesn't feel it. He's a chimpanzee. I have to discipline him.' This was in 1985
or 1986 at the Jacksons' home in Encino."

* Gordon says Jackson paid former wives Debbie Rowe and Lisa Marie Presley
money to marry him, a charge which both have denied. "He paid Lisa Marie $15
million to marry him, with the promise of a music career," Gordon claims. "He
never delivered on that music career."

* Gordon says he witnessed Michael injecting himself with "some kind of fluid"
that whitened his skin. "He would look in the mirror and say, 'I'm getting
lighter, I'm getting lighter,' and he was. I saw him do it in 1985. I saw the
boxes get delivered to his house every day."

* In perhaps Gordon's most bizarre allegation, he claims he saw a monkey set
ablaze as part of a voodoo ritual in the backyard of the Jackson compound in
Encino in 1986. "They asked me to leave, and to never talk about it again," he
told us.

Michael Jackson's lawyer John Branca says Gordon's tales are pure fantasy.

"These are all absurd, made up, outrageous allegations," Branca fumed.
"Consider the source. It's a joke. I don't believe that anyone will believe
anything that comes out of Jack Gordon's mouth."

Gordon ended his six-year marriage to LaToya in 1997 amid mutual accusations of
spousal abuse. He served jail time for trying to bribe the chairman of Nevada's
Gaming Control Board in 1978, and later made a career out of promoting
B-listers like LaToya, Paula Jones, Lorena Bobbitt and a lounge singer who
claims to be Elvis Presley's illegitimate son.

Gordon says he is writing the book because, "I've had cancer four times. I had
another operation on Aug. 14. I feel like the book should have been written a
long time ago. I don't know how much longer I have to live.

"I'm almost done writing. If I can't find a publisher by March, I'll publish it
on the Internet, chapter by chapter."
