So I think, yes, he has always been Blanket. * face palm* I don't think she knows any better. She's a teen in 2016, so of course she has social media accounts, but it seems like no one is teaching her how to protect herself and be more private online. Michael Jackson's approach to parenting when he was alive was to keep the kids sheltered to an extreme degree (wear masks in public, school in the home, only meet people in your house) It sucks, because she IS is celebrity by parentage, and will always be. She was thrust into the public eye because of her father's death, because the masks that she and her siblings wore were removed. Paris has distinctive features so I don't think she can blend into the background even if she wanted to. MJ's uses of the masks may have seen extreme, but if he hadn't died, I think I may never know what any of his kids looked like. I've always thought that as weird as it was that those kids even happened, that he was very protective of them and wanted them to have a normal childhood. He did not get one, and he knew that if the paps and public knew what they looked like, they would not have one either. I wonder how the kids feel about that.

MJ's way of protecting those kids was completely f'ed up. He didn't do a single thing to give them a "normal" childhood. If he wanted them to be anonymous, he should have dialed back all the spectacle instead of planting his kids in the middle of the spectacle dressed like freaks. I can't imagine the psychological impact of being told you have to wear masks and costumes all the time so nobody can see what you look like when you leave the house.

I read somewhere that they only had to wear the masks with him, and they were able to go to places with their nannies without the masks, because they wouldn't be recognized. If that's what he did, its kinda smart. Make a spectacle of them a few times a year to let them get out unnoticed the rest of the time.
I really can't wait til one of them writes a book about what their childhood was really like.

Why was his hologram at the Superbowl? WHY? I read that Beyoncé wanted to pay tribute to MJ in her own way. Look at her costume; doesn't it echo what MJ used to wear? Getting back to Paris...I'm like at the fact that she let it slip that she goes to AA meetings?! She's not even 18 yet!

How do I even begin to unpack this mess? The dude tried to defend himself online: Yeah, okay. I thought Paris was raised with the consciousness of a person of color...so why go out with someone who is literally wearing the Stars and Bars? On a side note,in the comments section I learned some more dark things about the Thomas Jefferson/Sally Hemings thing (should we even call it a "relationship"? That whole thing was shady as hell.)

It seems MJ was even sicker than anyone thought. Caches of child, SM torture, animal porn found! Why do the gifted seem to have the worst depravities? (Got done watching excellent OJ documentary)
Most millennials and Gen-Xers STILL worship at the feet of the 7 years dead MJ.What is wrong with everyone? He was physically and mentally healthy because he could moonwalk and sing Billie Jean?
Speaking of documentaries, I watched the one about him from child star to "Off the Wall" and and all anyone EVER says about him is how he never had a real childhood, his dad was abusive and what a BRILLIANT! GENIUS! "we" all lost!
The new report reaffirms my many negative opinions about him as a human being. Sick sick sick and depraved depraved depraved.

I had pretty much come to terms with the fact that he molested children, but animal torture? What the what?
