I believe somewhere in her recall during the 90's lies the truth.
I fully agree with what you are saying about compounded trauma.
But — that also feeds into the whole “need to please the abuser” that happens in grooming and why I honestly believe not one penny was afforded to her as hush money. More like her mom saying…

I was born in the late 70's and I was a huge MJ fan as a kid in the 80's, but for so many people to now be shocked by the obvious fact that he’s a pedophile is just ridiculous.

Horrific abuse is really the only thing that can explain the state of everyone in that family.

If she refuted the claims only after her brother’s death, maybe she saw it as an opportunity to enter her niece’s and nephews’ lives and be a safe space. Where was she in the custody battle? Because that got ugly, too, if I vaguely recall.

The public labeling someone speaking about abuse and airing family secrets as “exploiting a personal matter” is why so many people stay quiet about abuse, rape and incest. Who wants to open themselves up to criticism and questions about one of the most painful periods of their life, especially when they feel they…

It’s hard to believe but for a time, the biggest scandal that rocked the family was her 1989 Playboy spread

I remember some journalist who interview her back then. He thought she was full of shit like everyone else before he met her. But when he talked to her she seemed to be in so much pain and find it so hard to talk about so he didn’t know what to believe.

I remember this entire thing. Everyone thought she was just Jackson’s crazy sister, trying to piggyback his fame...talking like him, looking like him, ect. The talk shows and tabloids (which if you weren’t around then, it was the be-all-end-all of pop culture and celebrity news) had a field day talking about her, and…

Yes - she was right. Her brother was a pedophile. I can only imagine what kind of cash incentive she must have been given to make her try and take back the claims in later years.

If my daughter grows in to being a dumb bimbo, I’d like to think I’d find a way to be supportive instead of forcing her into college when we both know she doesn’t belong there.

This story makes Jussie Smollett so happy.

if I had a dime every time someone told me “we can’t afford it, we can’t afford it, even with a scholarship we can’t afford it,” when I was applying to colleges....

Those cheek highlights are not great advertising for her palette.

The ad copy excerpts are wonderful.

Lol. Look into my “came with the apartment” cheapo white fridge with so, so much cheese, old chinese delivery rice, and turkey wings I meant to cook.

Naomi just didn’t like Tyra and for good reason. Naomi is a bitch (who I adore) but Tyra is a messy underhanded bitch. Tyra is the type to throw punches and hide her hands and she loves to do it with black women. Look up ANTM videos on youtube and look at how she treated Yaya, Tiffany, Toccara, etc or episodes of her…

The list of her lovers is both bizarre and impressive.

I feel like Tyra is like that ex who continues to make passive aggressive swipes at you years after the relationship ended and you’re all like “who are you again”?

Naomi Campbell dated Joe Pesci and nothing makes sense.

I do feel sorry for Tyra here, inasmuch as she seems very invested in this and Naomi just... isn’t. She straight up said “it’s not that deep” - you’re right Naomi, but damn.
