Michael Jackson’s close friend, Emmy-winning producer Geoffrey Mark, just shared a heartbreaking look into the life of the King of Pop. Mark shared that Jackson had once disclosed that he was a victim of sexual abuse during his own childhood. Per the NY Post, these secrets were shared during private parties held at the home of mutual friend and dermatologist Dr. Arnold Klein.
According to Mark, Jackson did not frame his early experiences as abuse or criminal behavior. Instead, the singer appeared to have been deeply conditioned to view the actions of his abuser as a normal part of his upbringing. When discussing the topic, Mark noted that Jackson described his experience as, “It was playtime.”
