Lisa Marie Presley Speaks Candidly Michael Jackson & Their Marriage | the detail.
And think back on this experience. What are you saying to yourself now. Because each of us has done something that, in our life, you said I don’t know what I’m doing. Thinking or not knowing what you are thinking. Or maybe it was a big lesson for me. I don't know, what do you say to yourself? What do you say to yourself? Holy Mother. Well, first of all, I heard that he wanted to meet me when I was 18. I don't want to, because I think he's…
a freak. I didn't want to see him right away. I think he's a freak. So I was like, I don’t want to see him. Finally I said, OK, I'll go see him. My first impression was that he went out of his way to disappoint me. So he sat me down and said, "I know you.
I know it's perfectly normal for you to think this. I'm not gay and I know you think this. I know you think this." And then he started swearing. You know, a normal guy. And then within 20 minutes, like, you're not who I thought you were, click. We started talking and related to each other immediately. It just kind of went from there because we were born in different environments and had different upbringings and were connected in that way.
Yes, life in a fish tank is weird. Our different situations are still very fragile.
I have to say that when I was 21 years old, I didn’t really go out. He's not stupid. He doesn't get his place because of his stupidity. Unfortunately, not many people know who he is when he wants to target you or capture your interest. You know, what he wants to do with you, he can do when Michael wants to pull you into his life, and then at that point, it's sort of like the relationship I need. Talk about it. I was kind of like, wow, and he's pulled me into his world and I'm like, you know, that's a mechanism. And to. Not necessarily think it was going to be romantic, but it did. And uh you know it all seemed so real.
I fell into this whole, you poor cute misunderstanding thing. Save you. You know, I fell in love with him. I was in love with him. I was in love with him. He. And it was very real. How could he propose to you? We were in front of the library and he pulled out this huge ten carat diamond and put it on mine. On the fingers. I think he got down on his knees and suggested that because it seemed more like maybe that's what I should be doing instead of taking these dear souls and making them feel like they're worthless. . Because he didn't want to be bothered by you being Presley, right? So in my mind at the time I was going to marry someone bigger than me. . Then I can really feel like a wife. I can feel more comfortable that way. I'm not looking for publicity myself, and I admire that.
I wanted to find someone who was comparable to me. Somehow along the way I decided that this was a solution. There must be these questions. People are questioning your relationship with him from the beginning? I mean, your friends and your mom? Yeah, people don't really like this. I mean, they're trying to, you know, say something about it. But me and I need to figure it out in myself. Because he's right, in this sexual abuse scandal and stuff. So what did people say to you? Well, mostly my mom just liked it, you know. Look at the timing and don't be stupid. She married a big star at the time. You will be the biggest music star of your time. No, I don't think it was premeditated. I knew she really didn't want me to do this and I understood why. At that time, I was still in the same pattern. It was just her reaction to me dating him and he was like, you know, the typical mother daughter, like, oh, you don't like him? Great, he will be my husband.
He will be my husband. She called me and said, Oh, Lisa, there's a helicopter outside the house and they said you were married to Michael Jackson. I was just quiet. She said, "Don't you?" She went, but you didn't? To be honest, I don’t like other people’s attention on me. Love being with him and taking care of him. I'm doing this at such a high level. I wasn't lying when I said he had. It's about him when he's in and when he's willing to share it with you or gift it to you, to be himself and let you in, I don't know if I've ever been a drunken person y'all do Living together? Yeah, well, let's just say that. If he's in town, he's at my house. I have to ask you this question. Is it a happy marriage? Oh my god Oprah I have to ask this question you all know you want to know? I mean, this is a real marriage. Like between husband and wife? Yes. Is this a fulfilling marriage? Right? Well, that's all.
Sexual attraction? I told you everything I said is true. What about his appearance? I told you look, I don't like mediocre stuff. Or normality or something like that. I feel like something is weird about me and I don't know, I'm exhausted. So, these are like romantic nights. yes.
I don’t remember it very well, but yes. I mean, that's normal. I'm not going to get married if that's not the case. I even remember my own thoughts. How is this possible? You know, I can't even imagine him like that, regardless. And then he quickly got me fantasizing about the idea. Honestly, I can tell you that this is a normal marriage and all is said and done. And, you know, in the middle of the night. Let me know if he needs to wake up and pop my stuff out. I love taking care of him. This is the highest point of my life. One of the highest points in my life is when things are going really well. And he and I are joined together. And he and I had an understanding of the customs that could be carried out around him.
He and I do these things together. And we… we are a unit. When you have that situation, you have the downside to it, which is, you know. Entourage. I don't like attention from others. I mean, it's a [ __ ] storm. I mean, I can't go anywhere. He needs to do his thing. I would be very uncomfortable there. Something like MTV. And I only heard about it at the last minute. All I could think about was, you know. 10,000 people right in front of me, and. Holy [ __ ] I actually turned his hands blue. I squeezed it hard.
I'm already neurotic. I already have to walk on stage without saying anything first. I love so much. I can't. Please, do we have to do this? It's just… it's not who I am.
to do this kind of thing. What about Diane Sawyer’s interview with you? And Michael, is it weird? Yeah, that's a little weird. It's very strange. I mean, I'm a nervous wreck. So do you regret it? I regretted it and felt a little uneasy. Shocking. I was looking ahead, and I was thinking, I never want to get into a custody battle with him.
I don't want to do this. I don't want to confront him. So I need to make sure everything is fine around me. I have children and I know about putting children into certain situations. You have to make sure everything is safe and okay. I wanted to make sure that he and I… were really, really united because we had so much to deal with. I do feel like there's an agenda there as well. But, because I think he wants kids, he wants her kids. oh. Mom, what are you doing now? He will tell me. He's gonna come and tell me if you're not gonna do it Debbie said she's gonna do it so we're gonna get into it.
Argument: What about him and drugs? I've never seen it but I suspect I don't know because there's been talk about Painkiller which is interesting because I haven't, I haven't seen it so I can't answer that.
Do you suspect a drug problem? To be honest, I don't really have a suspect and caught. You know, just an occasion. Fainting Incident He is in the hospital. This was during HBO. I don't understand what's going on. Because there are different reports every day , I can't tell you what happened. Dehydration, hypotension. Fatigue is a virus. So I can't really get a straight answer. What happened with him. At that time. I guess I was convinced from various signs that what was going on? How does it end? what happened? It just kind of goes sour really fast. Gradually, it just disappeared out of hand in a suitcase, basically. There is a very profound point in Yeah, Yeah . When it comes to marriage, he has to make a decision. Is it the drugs and the vampire or is it me? He pushed me away. vampire? spider? vampire? Suck his blood. Yeah, so you saw what was going on around him? So you saw everything around him? Oh God, yes. But you filed for divorce from Michael. Yes. How did you tell him? So what did you tell him? This is when he is you know.
I'm on the phone. I've had enough. There was a lot going on at the time. In the end it was really ugly and not good to watch. I stepped away from him, kind of stomped into the ground and walked away. I want to express my opinion. Come with me, don't do this. And that was a stupid move because he didn't. Did he hit you? Do you want a divorce? No, he… I think he got someone pregnant. Right? Or have a child. This is what he wants. He seemed to figure this out quickly. I don't know either, you know. I came out and four days later. I started having chronic panic attacks and my body just freaked me out.
And I, you know. Yes, I really need to be mopped after standing up from the ground, that one.
I was silent for about a year, and I had a physical breakdown. So I watched the series all over and it was just the body falling apart. You know, pressure. The gallbladder just has zero function. I had to take it out. I have Mono and Epstein bars and it's like just having a fever that doesn't go away and makes me really sick. God so much, because it took me two years to come out, you know. I mean, physically, mentally. I really had to I went through a lot to remove myself from that, you know.
Because you kind of get stuck in a way of thinking and existing and when you're in that bubble, I spent a long time and it was time to detach yourself. Once again, we want to get back together. It took us another four years before we got divorced. Get together and say get back together and break up. And at some point, I had to push it away. Because it's just not that I'm moving forward with myself. You said you love him? Do you think he loves you? Wow oh my God, I feel so bad. Come answer this question. I don't know the answer to this question. Do you think he loves you as much as he can? Yes, I know Yes, as long as he has the ability to love someone and all that.
Yeah I know you know for whatever reason in my life I had to go through.
I don't know why I went through this, but I did. And I pass it. And, you know. But looking back, I have to say he tried his best to get through so much with me. And I know that now, looking back. He never did this, with any other women or anyone. I really admire him for really giving it a good chance. You know, I don't appreciate that. I wish I did. It kind of stigmatized me, you know. Without my knowledge. So I'm sorry I have to ask you about Michael Jackson but I won't answer. You're tired of being asked about this, I'm sure. Yes, absolutely.
Stop discussing him. All right.
Nicolas Cage because I am always associated with that. You know, it's all about that. You married Michael Jackson which is like the biggest, you know. It turned me into a freak. As for Michael's current controversy. Fueled by British documentaries. It's a train wreck, you know. Lisa-Marie said she never saw any inappropriate behavior. If I see something, trust me, it's his. The butt will remain hanging on the tree.
So, I don't know. I've never seen anything like this.
Now, I don't know what's… happening to him lately.
I really don't know. I hope he can clarify. Consistently, the good talk was in 2005. It was a long conversation. Get your heads together, please.
If this matter goes to trial. Please keep it together. He said, what are you talking about? What did you say? He said, you mean drugs? I said yes, because I just saw it, you know. There were a few years where random stuff came out whether it was a Martin Bashir. Interview or various interviews. And in these interviews. I saw him drunk. I didn't see the Michael I knew in the Martin Bashir interview. He is as tall as a kite. From what I saw and what I know, he was either too fast or he was sedated. This is not the Michael I know. He also asked me if I still loved him. We still spend a lot of money on this. I told him I was indifferent and he didn't like the word. And
he cried. And then the last part of the conversation was him telling me that he felt like someone was going to kill him to get ahold of his catalog and his property.
Lisa Marie said she and the Jackson family spent several years rescuing Michael from his self-destructive behavior. She claimed it left her emotionally and mentally exhausted. But she wrote, as I sit here. Devastated. Thinking and confused is my biggest failure to date. Watching it on the news is almost play-by-play. That's what I saw happening on August 16, 1977. Now it's happening again to Michael. A sight I never want to see again. As he predicted, I was really heartbroken. Lisa Marie Presley came out to some people and gave some statements that she put on her MySpace page. I thought it was funny because their marriage was a sham. Yeah, it's a very interesting look into the mind of Michael Jackson. He looked at Lisa Marie Presley at one point and said, and I quote, I'm afraid I'm going to end up like him.
Michael always asked about your father, yes, I know, and he said, I feel like I was going to end up the same way. Did you say why? Yes, I love it. What are you talking about? I also don't understand that down to the show within the show the events played out are the same. Related to that, with Michael and my dad, the topic was that they had the privilege of creating whatever reality they wanted to create around them. They can have the kind of people who are going to cooperate with their plans or not. If they don't. Then they can be disposed of. This is God in reality, in your own world, right, when it's this unusual. Ivory tower reality. Mixed with this magical life is drug addiction. Then you're in trouble..
