Michael Jackson was in a gay relationship until his death, it
has been claimed.
Former dermatologist's assistant Jason Pfeiffer alleges he began a
"passionate and sexual" affair with the Thriller singer after
meeting him in 2008 at the office of Michael's skincare expert, Dr
Arnold Klein.
Pfeiffer says the pair bonded over their troubled childhoods,
telling US TV show Extra: "We were just sitting there and we both
started to cry and I got up and went over to him and said it's
going to be OK Michael.
"We hugged. And it was kind of then that the hug was a little bit
more. It wasn't until a few months later that it was obvious that
Michael had feelings for me as well.
"I just assumed that he was probably bisexual. I know we loved each
other, I know he told me that all the time. I believe that he was
probably my soulmate."
Klein confirmed the relationship saying he walked in on the couple
when Jackson - who had always denied being gay - was allegedly
shirtless.
He said: "When you see two people looking at each other you know
what's happening. I was just very happy for both of them."
Pfeiffer - who claims to have had a voicemail message which Jackson
left for him - believes Jackson would have wanted him to speak
about their alleged romance.
He said: "Setting the record straight and telling the truth, as
opposed to hiding in some house in the middle of nowhere& I
think he would have approved of that, yes."
This is not the first time it has been alleged Jackson - who died
last June - had gay relationships.
The 50-year-old star's unofficial biographer Ian Halperin claimed
he had spoken to two men Jackson had relationships with.
He said: "In the course of my investigations, I spoke to two of his
gay lovers, one a Hollywood waiter, the other an aspiring actor.
The waiter had remained friends, perhaps more, with the singer
until his death. He had served Jackson at a restaurant, Jackson
made his interest plain and the two slept together the following
night. According to the waiter, Jackson fell in love."
