Michael Jackson: Womanizer
Did the Gloved One have loved ones?

Being raised as one of Jehovah's Witnesses Michael Jackson doubtlessly refrained from premarital intercourse for some time. Even from a young age he took seriously the scriptural text that says, "Flee from fornication. Every other sin that a man may commit is outside his body, but he that practices fornication is sinning against his own body." (1 Corinthians 6:18; New World Translation) Of all his brothers, he was the only one that actually dedicated his life to Jehovah God and proceeded to symbolize that dedication by undergoing baptism in a pool of water.
But, he left the Witnesses, and in the process, abandoned certain Bible teachings that acted as a restraint to a healthy, growing libido that's part of the maturation process we have all experienced. Now, I'm not suggesting that as a result Michael Jackson was an international playboy, rivaling the likes of a Hugh Hefner. But I am saying that the King of Pop had an eye for beautiful women. Just look at a few of his videos.
Video Vixens?: Webster's dictionary defines "vixen" as "a sexually attractive woman." Insofar as his videos and personal life were concerned, Michael Jackson loved to feature vixens in his videos. A brief overview of a few of his works is a testament to this fact.
Ola Ray (Thriller): Ola was Playmate of the Month in the June 1980 issue of Playboy magazine. After being dazzled by the centerfold the Gloved One selected her out of all those beautiful women who applied for the job of being his love interest in the blockbuster short film, Thriller (1982). According to the former playmate, she and Michael got intimate, though they stopped short of having actual sex. To this day she has their German Grammy for Thriller that Michael said she could keep. She strikes me as a classy lady with a controlled edginess about her. (It's a compliment.)
Tatiana Thumbtzen (The Way You Make Me Feel): Tatiana starred as the woman Michael pursued in this video, released in 1987. They actually toured together. I met Tatiana in the greenroom at CNN's Los Angeles' bureau just after I came off the air on September 3, 2009, the day Michael was finally laid to rest. She was devastated over Michael's death and intimated that he was her heart. "He was the love of my life," she said tearfully. The beautiful Tatiana kindly allowed me to interview her for this column some weeks later, and struck me as being a bright, intelligent, graceful lady who's still struggling over Michael's death.
Naomi Campbell (In the Closet): Supermodel Naomi Campbell ravished Michael in this 1991 video, just as her onscreen character called for. In a Vibe interview conducted by Memsor Kamaraké Naomi said the following after hearing of his death: "I grew up with Michael Jackson, he was a good friend and the most exciting and innovative entertainer to have lived. No artist has connected to their audience like Michael and no one will ever be able to match what he has achieved. He gave back to people through his charity work and was an amazing father and human being. Michael touched people of every race, nationality, age and was the first truly global superstar. He is one of the all time greats and his role in popular culture will never be surpassed and never ever be forgotten." Aside from this video, what else did Michael and the supermodel have in common? Both their mothers are Jehovah's Witnesses and endeavored to raise them "in the Truth."
Shana Mangatal (Ghost): Shana, the woman internationally known as Michael's true girlfriend who talked every day with him for seven years, was in what she describes as being Michael's favorite film short by far, Ghost (1995). He wrote, produced, and helped direct Ghost. It was originally titled Is This Scary? (1993), but was halted when Michael was charged with child molestation in 1994. Of all the cast and crew Shana was the only one he brought back from the original production. Did she and the King of Pop ever lip-lock? No doubt. When ET's Bob Goen asked if they were ever intimate, she answered: "I don't want to go into detail about it but...yes." She went on to say that he was a normal red-blooded man who was very flirtatious and loved women.
Shana worked for one of Michael's companies. When Michael discovered her, he moved his headquarters to an office adjacent to hers. Grace Rwaramba, who eventually became the nanny for Michael's children, was best friends with Shana. Grace confided in Shana that Michael got real nervous when he knew he was going to see her. In speaking to and communicating with Shana I explained to her how I imagined Michael saw her:
"Michael understood that your indescribable beauty challenges the imagination of the most prolific poet," I wrote as we communicated by Facebook. "It scars the mind of the uninitiated. He was aware that a mere gaze in your direction causes an eruption that ripples through the space-time continuum. He had to have known that with an instrument forged by the gods you were sculpted into perfection. Your ambiance, rivaled only by the loveliest of sunsets, is forever engraved on the psyche of man." (To be sure, the woman's beauty inspires poetry.) "Michael knew that reality is altered when you enter a room," I continued. "Your heart must beat honey; your tears navigate down your cheeks as sweet diamonds. The pantheon of gods is minus its most beautiful goddess. Zeus weeps. MJ had to have known this." Indeed, her words had to have been a song in his ears that resonated through his soul and thereafter satisfied his existence. (See Song of Solomon.)
Michael went abroad after being found "Not Guilty" on all counts in his child molestation trial, but contacted Shana upon returning stateside. Actually, they never really stopped talking. They had communicated judiciously as dictated by decorum throughout the years. And in an exclusive telephone interview this past Tuesday she revealed that, unbeknownst to one another, they moved to Las Vegas around the same time. Upon discovering that she was there, Michael, with his children in tow, visited her. The romance was rekindled. In fact, she and Michael had been in touch up until about two weeks before he died.
Knowing that she could have met with him anytime during the two-week period, Shana decided to delay their meeting until Friday, June 26, 2009. It would be the weekend and they could spend some time together. Something happened to prevent that though. Michael Jackson died Thursday, June 25, 2009. Shana, with the humility and grace of an angel, stated retrospectively, "It taught me never to procrastinate." She's still hopelessly in love with him.
The King of Pop's crown slipped a bit when it came to beautiful women. He had a weakness for them. For those of us who truly knew him, all the above, coupled with who he was as a person, proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that Michael Jackson was no child molester--which is the point of this article. Rest in peace my friend. Amen.
