Jackson was gay and dressed like a woman, claims new tome

New York, July 09: Michael Jackson was gay and masqueraded as a woman with his lovers — these are some of the claims made in an explosive new tome. Celebrity biographer Ian Halperin has made these allegations in his tell-all, entitled `Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson`.

According to In Touch magazine, the late King of Pop once picked up a construction worker during an outing as gay in Las Vegas, and swore him to secrecy, reports a news daily. The book says, "The lover admitted Michael made him sign a confidentiality agreement.” The writer further alleges that an insider told him that the late star never bedded second wife Debbie Rowe, so "none of Jackson`s three kids are his biological children". Halperin further claimed that the ‘Thriller’ hitmaker was not a paedophile, and might have been a blackmail victim. The author alleges to hold documents proving Jackson`s insurance company forced him to shell out millions to a teen who accused the star of molesting him. Jackson "collapsed in hysterics when he found out he had to do that," the "insider" told Halperin. ANI
