Lisa Marie: Michael Jackson 'Manipulative'

In a two-part interview that aired this week, Lisa Marie Presley told Oprah Winfrey that she was "snowed" into marrying Michael Jackson and described Michael's manner of "manipulation."

Yet, Presley, 37, also asserted that her marriage to Jackson, which lasted from 1994 to 1996, was real – and that it was consummated.

"Do you think that he loved you as much as he could?" Winfrey asked in the two-episode Q&A.

"Yes, as much as he was capable of loving somebody," Presley answered.

But when asked if Jackson also used her, Presley replied: "All signs point to 'yes' on that. I can't answer for him."

Lisa Marie's mom, Priscilla Presley, who also spoke to Oprah, went so far as to suggest that Jackson may have used her daughter with the hopes that Lisa Marie would have his children, ensuring his connection to Elvis's legacy. "There's something very calculating and manipulative about ... how he does things," she said.

Describing how the relationship between them ignited, the daughter of Elvis says of Jackson, who currently is on trial for child-molestation charges: "He already pulled me in by making me feel like I'm the one he talks to, which is almost a form of manipulation in a way."

Presley continues, as quoted by the Post: "Then, he's calling me for advice, telling me what's happening, so ... I'm already kind of enamored and snowed already in my own mind. ... I'd already fallen prey to the 'poor you' thing."

Ensuring his connection to Elvis's legacy?? BITCH PLEASE! Elvis is a legend that ripped off many black artists in rock and roll...had songs written for him...watered down rock and roll if I remember correctly so white audiences would listen to it. And the fact that Michael does not like Elvis and has an Elvis statue that says if i had a white man with a black man's voice, I would make a million dollars. Let's see Michael also broke down the color barrier with MTV and became the first crossover artist. He revolutionized the music video and dancing in videos. Broke countless records(that still are unbroken today) and sold millions of records. So get your facts right bitch. Weren't you the one that turned Graceland into a cash cow?? Funny though, everytime Lisa Marie comes out with a cd, it flops...hmm maybe it's the fact that you look and sound like a man. Time to give it up and move on.

I think if Michael ended up having kids with Lisa-Marie and they stayed together, he wouldn't have landed in all this mess like he has in recent times.

But looks like Lisa Marie didn't want to have his children.


Anyways.

These are some interview Lisa-Marie made about Michael Jackson in recent years

I think he should of been with tatiana. She was really beautiful plus she had a crush on him since the jackson 5 days(it's in her book). But whatever, like honestly Lisa Marie has been on drugs, dropped out of school, been married 4 times and had kids by 2 different men. And they don't talk about personal life...Lisa Marie is not a saint so the media should stop treating her like one. I wonder how long is this current marriage that she is in, is gonna last.

Why are you dredging this up-that article is 4 years old.

scriptgirl said:

lol i dunno. I was just randomly searching stuff and I came across it. I know it's 4 years old but still, lady was out of line.

I have to question your motives for bringing this old ass news to put the Presley women on blast. There is no denying Michaels legacy. However, to try and diminish that of Elvis is silly. Yeas of course he borrowed from black artists. He was but a child when he was living amongst black folk, what do you think is gonna happen? It wasn't calculated. He was being himself. White folks actually hated him when he first came out. Of course the white youth ate it up, because they weren't allowed to dance at black concerts. Everyone knows we invented rock music. It's just because of the race relations that we couldn't get mass acceptance for doing it. Elvis was talented, good looking and didn't sound white. Now Pat Boone is the one who watered shit down. Of course as great as Elvis may have been, he wasn't Jackie Wilson or Sam Cooke vocally and he wasn't James Brown or Michael Jackson prancing across the stage!

sunlite said:

good point and I know but that comment...ensuring his legacy to elvis...really pissed me off.

Yeah, but still, that is old ass news.

Late news or not... I don't blame Priscilla Presley for having issues with her daughter marrying Mr. Michael Jackson. Damn, I would have had sane issues too. The fact that this man had friendships with young white boys wasn't normal, period. He married her to keep down the whispers; what Priscilla's daughter motives were I don't know. Any mother worth her salt would have raised objections and been concerned. He's manipulative.... that's understament. I'll leave at that.

the accusers were hispanic, not white, get your facts straight. And if I remember Elvis started dating Priscilla when she was 14 and he was 24.

TD3 said:

And if Lisa-Marie finds Michael to be a user and manipulative, why in the world was she still hanging around with him after they got divorced- when he got married to Debbie Rowe? The statements she makes to the media contradict her own actions. Its obvious that she was clearly in love with him, but is embarassed to admit this openly b/c his reputation has taken a huge hit- and she wants to protect her own image at the same time.

These were all taken after their divorce

i don't have a problem with her not wanting michael to marry michael and if he's manipulative. The fact that she implied that michael was trying to cash in on Elvis "legacy". Funny how you say that but yet Michael and Lisa were friends long before the allegations.

suga10 said:

right

You have no right to be so nasty toward people in this thread. TD3 got her facts wrong. It happens. Every account I have read about MJ's accusers says they were white.

Um...you do know that there are MJ boards, where all of this nonsense can be discussed right? And that NO ONE else cares about the Presleys, nor a marriage that lasted almost twenty years ago, and was short-lived...

As far as Priscilla...

Lisa's Mom....

they are hispanic and this is a fact. BOTTOM LINE. I wasn't being nasty towards anyone. Maybe if some people knew what they were talking about, then i wouldn't have to correct them.

if you feel that way, then you don't have to come in this thread and comment on it.

BoOTyLiCioUs said:

STOP filling the boards with crap then. If you want to discuss Michael Jackson, go to a MICHAEL JACKSON board. This is getting ridiculous again.

MODS?

Chill out...this is the only post of Michael Jackson that I have posted. Don't get mad at me for other MJ trolls that post stuff about him on here. I posted it separately to get my point across. I've posted other topics about other artists as well as responded to other artists topics. So before you start pointing the finger, get your facts straight, ok?

BoOTyLiCioUs said:

Don't have an issue with a grown man "playing" with little boys/children? Wow, that speaks volumes. I'll repeat, he had sleep overs with little white boy's at his home. What Elvis did or didn't do with Priscilla I don't know. I'm not sure if Elvis fucked Priscilla at 14 or before the age of consent, has she ever said? Having said that, to negate somebody else's behaviour in order to justify someone else's dubious behavior is called, moral relativism. Two wrongs to make a right nor does it make you even.. your are just wrong.(IMO)

Any type of abuse, mistreatment, or illegality against chidlren, men, and women I'll always object. I wouldn't give a care if it was my mother, my father, my brother, husband and/or child. If you aren't right... you aren't right. Period.

Everybody in here needs to calm the F down

TD3 said:

I never said that. I don't agree with it. And two wrongs don't make a right. READ WHAT I WROTE. Most of the children that went over to neverland were from the inner city and were black and hispanc. All three of the accuser were HISPANC, for the last time. Get your facts straight. The only reason why I posted this was because I didn't like how she said Michael was trying to cash in on elvis's legacy which michael has his own. Not anything else...that's why I bolded that part there. I felt that she was totally out of line with that comment.
