Perhaps. I think the common demoniator here though was the drug use and that obviously never changed so who knows if the situation could have worked out differently. I do think though they changed, grew. I think Michael would have been able to give more of himself as he learned to do so by becoming a father. And I think Lisa would have felt less "over her head" with the whole thing. But she said she left because she felt "powerless". I'm not so sure that would have ever changed. Michael was always going to be who he was and him being able to share that power with someone else, or rather surrender it, I don't know. I do believe that he wouldn't be dead now or wouldn't have had the scandal plagued last decade plus if Lisa was still in his life.
Janet did also say at the time that they were very good for each other. I think she was of the opinion that they complimented each other.
Do you have a link to this TV guide interview?
I don't think Lisa is as strong as she'd like people to believe. I think she is strong but usually a tough exterior hides something not-so-strong underneath. I think Lisa's bark is bigger than her bite. That's why she got so hurt by whatever happened between she and Mike.
Lisa was not interested in a singing career when she was with Michael. I think she did want children with Michael but she wasn't willing to bring them into an unstable relationship. Esp. one that involved drugs. Remember she was a 9 year old who watched her dad do drugs. She said she knew they were bad for him but didn't know what they were. She could tell that he was different though. It's understandable that she wouldn't her children to repeat the same thing she went through. She also worried about the fight MJ would give her if they did have children because unlike Debbie, Lisa had NO plans on abandoning her children by just signing them over to Michael.

Michael, even though shy, gentle and child-like, was very strong-willed--and Lisa Marie is the same way. And like I mentioned before, Lisa Marie met her match with Michael. Lisa Marie is the type of woman that can be very domineering and who like to control her man and is VERY needy. Nicholas Cage alluded to this when he and Lisa Marie filed for divorce. She even admitted that she and Nicholas Cage were pirates in the marriage. She got a rude awakening when Michael showed her he wasn't going to be controlled by her (or as she described it 'saved'). I believed they both loved each other, but they were very strong willed. Lisa wanted her way just as Michael did. Lisa Marie is on her 4th marriage....Michael wasn't. In fact his 2nd marriage was really surrogate-based more than anything.Perhaps.

Michael DID want to have children with Lisa, or any other woman for that fact, it was Lisa who tricked him
she said in that Playboy interview that "she got out of that one" :smilerolleyes: oh really? is that that why michael "disappeared for months" before the divorce because he realized she didn't really want to have his kids? Lisa is apparently dumb enough or shameless enough to admit it the way she did
don't forget that she asked for the divorce when michael was sitting on a hospital bed, remember he almost died in 1995 according to the doctor who took care of him...he almost died being married to her...as bitter as I sound saying this, I say getting rid of her actually gave him more years of life. this woman was no good for him and he was very naive to think this could be a perfect fairytale match, because in his mind that's what he thought it would be...that before he learned his lesson.
she also was the first to say he died a self-destructive druggie like her daddy, before knowing any details about his death, she didn't have anything to do with him for the past 10 years how would she know? and now of course we have an ongoing criminal investigation into a homicide, but it's too late for MJ now because the media already picked up her theory and put all the blame on him, when Michael was KILLED.
Whenever I remember this Interview my skin starts to crawl, what a low life bitch...Wow...Diane is a HUGE bitch for asking those questions in such a way. She talks about Michael as if he was some kind of alien, some kind of weird creature....wow Diane....fuck you.
Whenever I remember this Interview my skin starts to crawl, what a low life bitch...
she said....Michael jackson? michael jackson? why did you marry michael jackson? DUHHHHH, Irresponsible bitch.
then she said ....sexual attraction...what about the way he looks? The bitch forgot that he was a human being, .......Disgusting , irrespoonsible, Unprofessional expired bitch.
Yes but Lisa could have dignified him by saying that she did find him attractive and enjoyed being with him. But that didn't happen.
Michael, even though shy, gentle and child-like, was very strong-willed--and Lisa Marie is the same way. And like I mentioned before, Lisa Marie met her match with Michael. Lisa Marie is the type of woman that can be very domineering and who like to control her man and is VERY needy. Nicholas Cage alluded to this when he and Lisa Marie filed for divorce.

In fact his 2nd marriage was really surrogate-based more than anything.
And as for this 'Michael was using drugs and that's why Lisa didn't want to bring children into the marriage', that totally is disagreeable. For someone who wanted to escape a marriage from a so-called manipulative, drug addicted maniac, Lisa Marie sure found herself with this 'drug addict' time and time again throughout a several year period after she was 'free' from his manipulative prison. She even had her children around this so-called 'drug addict' after the divorce. Lisa Marie bowed out of having children with Michael because she allowed OTHER people to get to her with their theories. Remember that Oprah interview, Pricilla was claiming that Michael wanted to have kids with Lisa because of the Presley connection---which was totally ridiculous. 'Cilla wasn't having Michael bringing any heir into the 'pristine' Presley family empire. That was why Lisa didn't want to have children with him, it had NOTHING to do with drugs. It seems like since June 25th, everyone wants to try to make Michael out to be this long-time drug addict and now drugs is the supposed reason why he and Lisa's marriage didn't work out. PLEASE!!
In regards to a custody fight if Lisa had Michael's children. First off, I don't believe for one second that Michael would even attempt to keep any kids they had with him and leave Lisa Marie out. That's a slap in the face to his character. He was bigger than that. Debbie Rowe, unlike Lisa Marie, was a WILLING surrogate who Michael felt obligated to marry for the sake of not having the children out of wedlock. But the marriage was still a business arrangement---for Debbie to have his children for him to raise. PERIOD. If Lisa Marie had held her ground against her ex and her mother and not have secretly took birth control pills (which Michael found out about), Michael would not even considered Debbie's offer to have his kids. Debbie herself said she had to constantly nag Michael to let her birth a child for him. She said he was upset because the marriage to Lisa Marie was ending and he wasn't able to become a father. Debbie used this as her opportunity.
The bottom line is Michael loved Lisa Marie and he wouldn't have attempted to have a child with Debbie if Lisa Marie would have been willing to have children with him. Excuse me for being old-fashioned but isn't that what marriage is primarily for? To produce and raise a family?
Alleyne was blunt with the world, saying Jackson did not have any immune system problems because rumors about AIDS were swirling. He was blunt that Jackson had no drugs in his system.
News accounts from 1995 show Alleyne and his then-partner, Dr. Bob Glennon, talking about Jackson's condition to convince the world that Jackson was, in fact, critically ill.
“Michael Jackson was unconscious when he arrived, Alleyne said. I had to make that clear.
Now Lisa Marie is a different story. She became embittered because Michael moved on and didn't kiss her behind and that included the matter of her having his children. People can make excuses for her all they want, but a woman marrying a man who makes it no secret that he wants to have a family---and decides she doesn't want to have his children, how do you think that makes a man feel? That's a real slap in the face to a man when a woman he loves doesn't want to have his children. Not to mention her ex-husband, Danny and her mother, Priscilla, who were always in her marriage and drumming it into her head that she was being used. Lisa could also be very moody and outright nasty when she wants to be. It wasn't ALL Michael--even though he could be stubborn at times--Lisa Marie was also a piece of work. Lisa met her match with Michael. She played him and he played her right back--to the point that she could never get him out of her system--even despite her verbal rants against him in the media. Unlike LaToya, Lisa Marie wasn't threatened with physical violence if she didn't repeatedly pubically berate Michael. Lisa did that on her own out of spite and as a means to 'get back' at Michael or to 'get his goat' so to speak to lure him into a media war of words. Classic case of the saying 'Hell hath no fury like a scorned woman'. Michael didn't fall for it, he handled her nonsense like a gentleman--yet he was always labeled as being the most immature of the two (go figure).
Im not saying that drugs was the reason that MJ & LMP split, but during the HIStory tour (96/97) Mike was taking propofol to get to sleep after a concert (and MJ and LMP where still seeing each other on the tour). This is not long after they split plus it appears from LMPs myspace blog that they had spoken about it which is why MJ was worried he was going to go out like Elvis. Drugs had been apart of MJs life since plastic surgery, Pepsi burn, vitiligo, lupus (this is throughout the 80s!) then there is the known history of drug abuse during the 93 allegations which is when LMP was dating MJ. So she may have been legitamatly concerned but to say that this was the reason she left MJ, I dont know. Maybe she did run away because of what happened to her father, then over the past 10 years she seemed to regret leaving MJ because she held a grudge and now he is gone, she blames herself for not trying more.
fully agree,Wow...Diane is a HUGE bitch for asking those questions in such a way. She talks about Michael as if he was some kind of alien, some kind of weird creature....wow Diane....fuck you.
i totally agree with evertything u said here. I mean seriously if u really love someone, u dont go totally dissin them in a interview. What lisa should have said was " look this is a personal matter that i do not want to discuss with the world..can we please move on with the next question." But instead she did quite the oppsite and talked badly bout michael , while michael himself never ever talked or bad mouthed lisa in any of his interviews. And im so glad he didnt, it shows what a true gentlemen he really was.
Danny Keough, while being a serious butt wad was still a parent to Riley, and Ben, who were just toddlers when Lisa-Marie met Michael.
Riley and Ben never really knew Michael Jackson, other than he was mom's friend. They lived in L.A. at times, and in Memphis with their grandmother. Michael wasn't really part of their life.
Their mom was an aberant parent.
IMO she should have never talked shit about MJ. She could have done that in private! I think that was a childish move!
he had to sleep no matter what and that's why he took propofol because he really had no choice but to "sleep" before the shows.
Maybe this is strong what you say.
But I also think she shouldn't,
because she would have never been invited to those interviews, I'm sorry,
if she hadn't been the wife of Michael.
And then when she's receiving these questions she's all about 'omg i'm so embarrased'
AND I DO believe she loved him and maybe she regrets her behaviour right now.....
