Lisa Marie: Michael Jackson Was Still a Virgin

The recent release of the Michael Jackson biopic, "Michael," has prompted renewed interest in the King of Pop's personal life, particularly his marriage to Lisa Marie Presley. Her posthumous memoir, completed by her daughter Riley Keough, offers extraordinary insights into their brief but intense union, which began in May 1994.

Presley recounted that Jackson claimed to be a virgin upon dating her, a revelation that caused her significant unease. She also shared that Jackson confessed his love for her while she was still married to her first husband, Danny Keough. They married just 20 days after her divorce from Keough.

The marriage faced intense global scrutiny, and despite Presley's deep love for Jackson, the couple divorced in January 1996. Presley hinted that Jackson's alleged struggles with prescription drugs contributed to their separation. She stood by him during mid-1990s child abuse allegations but the strain proved too much.

The film, directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Jaafar Jackson, aims to offer a family-approved portrait of the icon. However, many are captivated by Presley's candid account, providing a rare glimpse into the private world of a music legend.
