Two years ago, I gave myself permission to write an article about Michael Jackson and his kids. I questioned the way he chooses to treat his kids and I even went on to analyze the look in the kids’ eyes … I want to apologize for that specific article.
I actually had no right to start judging Michael and his parenting choices.
How he dresses his kids in public was his business and I wasn’t smart enough then to realize that he may have his reasons for making them wear masks or covering their faces with scarves.
Although those typed words are out there, but I take them back. My apology comes late, but I have to get this off my chest.
I realize now I was mistaken to call the kids ‘sad‘ and I had no way of knowing that ‘their eyes are sad‘.
I also had no way of knowing that they ‘surely aren’t living a natural childhood‘.
I guess making them wear scarves and masks in public, would actually mask their identity from the paparazzi and the public! Which means that if they were to go out, go to school, go to the supermarket, take a walk in the street, without those masks on, no one would actually know that those kids are Michael Jackson’s.
I admit that it was a smart move from Michael, and it’s no where near a ‘silly‘ idea.
So, those kids actually lived a natural childhood and were able to be out in public without anyone noticing them.
It is now, after their father’s passing away, that they’ll start getting the paparazzi’s attention and will surely come under heavy attacks with camera lenses and eye-blinding flashing camera flashes.
It is now, without the protection and love of their father, that they’ll have to struggle to live a normal childhood.
I pray for those kids and I hope that they’ll be surrounded by nothing but love and compassion and warmth from their grandparents and aunts and uncles.
Again … I apologize …
Check my previous article entitled ‘Michael Jackson’s Kids are Sad!’ and I guess you’ll know why I decided to post an apology.
