Michael Jackson: ”Gay” say doctor, “Bi” say boyfriend, ”Not gay” says papa Joe [video]

”We hugged. And it was kind of then that the hug was a little bit more… It wasn’t until a few months later that it was obvious that Michael had feelings for me as well…. I just assumed that he was probably bisexual…. I know we loved each other, I know he told me that all the time. I believe that he was probably my soulmate.”

”Was he gay? Yes…. Michael was not ashamed of his sexuality.”

Dr Arnie Klein, described by TMZ.com as singer Michael Jackson‘s ”best friend and physician.” Here, the tabloid is quoting Klein in the context of defending MJ against accusations that he was a pedophile. (TMZ)


”It’s not true. Michael was not gay…. to say things about him when he’s gone is shameful.”
