first let me tell you my personal feelings about this man before I post the article;
I had great respect for him as an entertainer, dancer, innovator.
I could never understand the accolades he received for his songs, I always thought they were pedestrian at best, yet he performed them so well I thought he was a genius.
Then came his personal trouble, I remember the claims that he used female hormone to keep his voice high, I knew otherwise however.
I met him personally, he was a gracious gentleman and I was informed the injections people thought were female hormones were actually medicine he could not function without, though at the time I was led to believe he had klinefelter's syndrome and those injections were actually MALE hormone not female.
This author is led to believe it's another genetic disorder but doesn't know for sure, I don't know if the autopsy will make it public either way
When the accusations arose of him with children I personally poo poo'd those accusations, however I was genuinely disappointed he settled the first case.
I understood at the time that he was too frail and timid to proceed with a public trial but I knew settling the case would ruin his career forever...and of course it did.
I always defended the man against social discourse, having met him and understanding the nature of accusations for self gain, having been a victim of the same thing myself.
However I stopped defending the Michael the day I saw video of him holding his child above a balcony.
I said to myself, *this is one troubled man but I never thought that trouble would translate into endangering a child*
Then his death and I really had nothing to say about it, I didn't expect him to live a long life having known about his poor health condition.
At any rate, there is now an article that puts pen to paper, explaining his health issues, why the makeup and why the skin.
It has explanations along with criticism, it's not a puff piece and to me it looks genuine.
There is much of the enigma explained here so if you have an opinion in either pro or con about this entertainer, read this article, you will be quite satisfied for answers to just about all of your questions and the enigma will be no enigma at all, most everything is brought to light, the masks, the wigs, the wheel chair, the sun glasses, the white skin, everything
the real story
