As the world and mostly media reel from the shocking news that Lisa Marie Presley died, additional stories are emerging about the woman many had forgotten about since divorcing Michael Jackson in 1996. No one really understood the pairing – considering Jackson never really showed interest in women throughout his life, other than Diana Ross. It has been revealed that Lisa Marie stated Jackson was very sad, and that their divorce did not help matters.
According to Radar Online, Lisa Marie Presley was accused of being a manipulative ex-wife who emotionally destroyed Michael Jackson years before her shocking death.
In the blockbuster courtroom statement connected to the late King of Pop’s wrongful death suit, Jackson’s longtime makeup artist revealed that Lisa Marie begged Michael to work on their failing marriage and then stunned the unsuspecting superstar by slapping him with divorce papers.
Sources said Lisa Marie’s ugly betrayal broke Michael’s heart.
“Michael trusted Lisa Marie more than anyone else in his life,” a Jackson family insider stated. “When she betrayed him, he was consumed with sadness and used drugs as an emotional escape.”
Lisa Marie married Michael in May 1994, but sources said the union quickly unraveled over his controlling nature, the controversial religion Scientology, and accusations that Michael was a child molester.
During her dramatic court appearance, Michael’s ex-makeup artist Karen Faye described how a deceitful Lisa Marie manipulated the Thriller singer into thinking their marriage could be saved, and then pulled the rug out from under him by filing for divorce in January 1996.
