“With MJ [Michael Jackson], unfortunately, too much happened, too much got between us. There was a very deep strong love there; intense. But people got in the way, on my end and his end. We had so many people telling us what to do and intercepting and speaking on behalf of the other. Had it been just he and I, towards the end, I don’t think we would have divorced.” ~ Lisa Marie Presley
I don't know how recent that quote is,but I'm so sick of hearing her bring up his name.
For anyone who remembers...Oprah did an interview with LMP and mother Priscilla in 2005,and they were SLAMMING Michael to no end:

Then...all of a sudden a year after Michael passed,her demeanor and her opinion completely 360's:

I still do not even fathom how she is able to be that way. To go from basically calling Michael a "psychotic,unhealthy monster" to "the love of my life" in a matter of five years is just astounding.
I know there's been threads on this,but I'm just really pissed off that I remembered this,because Oprah featured that 2005 interview clip in her "Where Are They Now?" show (which I fast-forwarded because she makes me physically ill).
How was she able to do that? She was probably heartbroken. Especially if you feel that your ex wronged you when you cared for them, they go from being the apple of your eye to persona non grata. Her reaction to questions about him since their break-up seems to be pretty realistic given the situation. But time tends to temper old anger, and death further still.
God knows that I love Michael, but if the man I fell in love with, married, and trusted with caring for my heart for the rest of my life sat down to breakfast at our kitchen table one morning to tell me that there was another chick he knew that'd be happy to have his baby if I didn't hop-to, I'd also have more than a few colorful expletives for him and whoever had questions about him lol.
Death has a way of making you forgive, especially if you lose someone that you love/loved. The fact that you'll never get to see them again makes you remember the times that you
couldn't wait to see them again, and also makes you forgive their misgivings. The pain of their absence can override bad blood. Not always of course, but it happens often. If anything, her anger showed that she really loved him and was hurt by his actions, cuz she wouldn't be worked up at all if the relationship was really "a fake". You don't get angry if you don't care.
Not to say that what she said wasn't harsh as hell, cuz it definitely was. I don't condone talking crazy to the media after a bad break-up, but I understand why she may have said such nastiness. She was hurt, she felt betrayed so she lashed out. She probably hoped that he'd hear about it. I don't agree with it, it was a tasteless thing to do, but I get it.
You gotta remember that their interaction was more than just two public figures talking about each other. They were lovers, and when you're in love, emotions are running full throttle. Good times feel like heaven and bad times can turn ugly, quick. At the end of it all, they were just people with human emotions and vulnerability.
I'm not an LMP crusader or anything lol, but I never got the vibe that she never loved Michael... ::shrugs::
