    Michael Jackson’s Financial Troubles, Marriage Revealed

    By Sheila Marikar | ABC News Blogs – Wed, Nov 23, 2011

    When Frank Cascio was 13-years-old, he left home to go on tour with Michael Jackson. He eventually became Jackson’s business adviser and learned that behind the scenes, the King of Pop wasn’t always in control.

    Cascio sat down with ABCNews.com to talk about the star’s financial troubles, the real reason he married Debbie Rowe, and the one song that never failed to make Jackson transform:

    He also shared a special message for Jackson’s fans and revealed why he wrote his new book, ”My Friend Michael,” on sale now:

    Click here for the first installment of ABCNews.com’s interview with Cascio, where he talks about the pranks he and Jackson used to play.

      Long before MJ passed on I made a $100 bet that one day we will find out that his 3 kids are not his biologically. On the day he died I called my friend up and asked did he remember the bet, he said he did and I told him to get ready to pay me, the next day when this was revealed he paid the bet. How did I know? How come no one else outside of his family knew? The reason I knew was because he hated the way he looked and a blood child would have reminded him of the truth, for him to change his appearance so drastically confirms this and when asked by Oprah his comment that it was not surgery but the way he evolved as an entertainer! That was when I knew that he was delusional and I believe that Dr. Murray is not the only one that should be on trial but his family also. How could they stand by and hear what he said before the world and not see that Jakson was no longer a part of reality? They didn't care because it served them better that he was in La La land and as the saying goes a fool is easily separated from his money. In my opinion they are the phoniest and most insincere people in the business. He was a rare talent and deeply alone in a family of that size but with a father that looks like the devil there will be more truths to come out, just wait until one of them is broke.
