Michael Jackson was living in "absolute filth" with his children in a Las Vegas mansion up until recently, it has been claimed. Industrial cleaners were called into the pop star's 10-bedroom former home after he departed and say they were confronted with a considerable mess. They suggest that the faded pop icon and his three kids were sleeping on the floor on mattresses and a stained carpet and left two decorated Christmas trees behind. Jackson and Prince Michael I, 10, Paris Michael, nine and Prince Michael II aka Blanket, five, are now understood to have moved into an area known as Spanish Trail. The £30 million Vegas compound is owned by Brunei's Prince Jefri Bolkiah

If this is true, I really think his poor children would be better off living with somebody more responsible.

A stained carpet and 2 left over xmas trees = absolute filth?!

We have a xmas tree in the hallway and there's a stain on the carpet from a spilt drink but people still comment on the beautiful home.
Sleeping on a MATRESS too. Who knows why, but wow, sounds like hell.

Another fuss over absolutely nothing.

exactly. with 10 bedrooms they could have slept anywhere. so if they
decided to sleep on matresses on the ground they probably preferred
that.

kids like to camp out, lol, so they probably just had like a party
style hangout, you know what michael is like. if his kids want to
sleep on the ground he won't tell them they can't.

and with 3 kids ages 10, 9 and 5 a stain here and there is not really
that big a deal. it would be weird if the place was immaculate after
they'd lived there for a while.

it's not like mike is your average mom who will clean up the hotelroom
when her kids have spilled a soda. lol mike probably doesn't even know
how to.

another sad report about nothing

How is that living in filth?

why does the media like to exagerate things? this doesn't sound like he's living in filth!

nd33 said:

C'mon this isn't even believable...
The man is a hardcore germ freak.
They're doing anything to dig up "dirt" on the man
wow...
Sad ...

I don't even believe this.. LOLOL... his kids sleeping on a mattress

Do you reckon he was sharing the room with Dirty Diana?




...ok, that was terrible - even for me!

Gossip - nothing more nothing less.

Doesn't sound that filthy to me. Kids=stains on everything.

I don't have a bed, I've got a mattress on the floor. Guess I'm living in filth.

shit, i wont believe it till i see the budwiser cans in the bathroom like at whitneys!

"You can't name no black kid Blanket!" - Katt Williams

But in all seriousness, I still don't get why he nicknamed him that.

And how do we know his real name is Prince Michael II? His REAL name is probably Joseph or something.

About the article, we've been hearing a lot about how Michael was dealing while there, either he was bedridden or he and his children left the place a mess, lol.

Sensationalism, Tabloid Junkie and Gossip Trash.

LOL, you are so right. Michael has never confirmed "Blanket's"( such a cute nickname) real name. The media were the ones who just assumed that "Blanket's" name was Prince II because Michael refused to tell them. As far as the supposed "living in filth", these media gossipers need to keep their stories straight. First, they claim that Michael is a germ freak and won't even allow his children to play with the same toys and now they claim that he and his children are living in squalor. During the trial, one of his maids testified that he went ballistic when things weren't clean at Neverland. Yet, the prosecutors turned around and claimed that Neverland was a mess. Of course, this was after they had raided Neverland and left it in shambles.

Oh that shit was hilarious. They used testimony of him being pedantic about cleanliness as a main reason why he was capable of being the head of the master conspiracy to kidnap the Arvizo family

See, this was the kind of bullshit that Sneddon threw at a jury and expected them to send a man to prison for 25 years? Can you believe how utterly stupid and inept this prosector was? The media knew all of this; however, they never revealed this kind of stuff( the trial was full of this kind of ridiculous BS) to the public. Is it any wonder that some of these haters are the way that they are concerning the trial. The media gave a public willing to believe the worst, what they wanted about Michael. Thank God, MJ fans were able to follow transcripts of what was ACTUALLY going on in this farce of a case and trial.Btw, have you read or heard anything about the new book by Aphrodite Jones? It's called "The Michael Jackson Conspiracy" with a forward by Thomas Mesearu. Naturally, the media is ignoring it because it is for MJ and not against him. I ordered my copy and waiting for it to arrive. From what I read, she does a good job in defending Michael.

I've got the book but I'm not really engrossed in it so far. The problem with it is that it's only fans buying it. I'm not finding out anything new, and there's also stuff missing. It would be amazing if it got out there to the general public though, cos Jones is preaching to the converted within the fan community.

Ellie said:

Agreed. Aphrodite needs to do some more promotion for this book but it's not an easy thing to do especially considering the subject is Michael Jackson. If it was a book about how she thought he was guilty, i'm sure there would be more of an interest. The one thing that really helps her case though actually is that Aphrodite used to be an MJ hater so the fact that she was able to change her mind about him after reading the transcripts of the case gives her more credibility.

I really think she should think about going on Urban radio such as on the Steve Harvey's show for example. He has been very supportive of Michael and his show would be a great platform for her to promote the book on.

Aphrodite is doing everything that she can to promote this book. Go to her blog and you will see all of the appearances that she has made in order to get it out to the public. The problem is that mainstream is intentionally avoiding it because she calls them out in her book about their pre-conceived bias against Michael. She has been on FOX twice. First, she was on Geraldo's show and before she barely started talking about the book, the cameras shot away to the Mark Furhman(the racist cop from the OJ trial) and he started ragging of Michael with absolutely no information or facts about the trial. She was on Bill O'Reilly's show on Thursday and got her points over; although, Bill tried to derail her thoughts. She has appeared at several book signings. She has alluded to the fact that the media is trying to ignore her book. People like Nancy Grace would have her on for a full hour IF the book had been negative. Oprah would have her on her show if the book was negative. Let's not blame Aphrodite, she is more than doing her part. It is very brave for her to go against the mainstream media. I applaud her and will support her. I just hope that she doesn't get weak because she is not getting the support of the media and turn against Michael, as she did during the trial. In order to be a MJ supporter, you HAVE to be strong. There is no place for weakness when you are defending Michael Jackson.

It's not going to get to the general public no matter how much promotion she does, when the book isn't being stocked or listed everywhere. Amazon had a hell of a time getting their copies out to people. If it was high in demand they'd just run out, because it's from a small publisher.

One thing I've noticed about Jones' writing at the start of the book though, is that it would be very off-putting for the Avergae Joe, because she may be a former hater, but she's practically fallen in love with MJ. She talks about his Godlike aura amongst other things. It's nice that she's read up on all the facts and come to a logical conclusion, but she's started speaking like a fanatic.
