Michael Jackson's Former Publicist Lashes Out

Filed under: Michael Jackson

wenn-mikelevine.jpg

Michael Levine, Michael Jackson's former publicist, released the following statement, claiming he foresaw Jackson's tragic demise coming for years:

"As someone who served as Michael Jackson's publicist during the 1st child molestation incident, I must confess I am not surprised by today's tragic news.

Michael has been on an impossibly difficult and often self-destructive journey for years. His talent was unquestionable but so too was his discomfort with the norms of the world.

A human simply can not withstand this level of prolonged stress.”

The cause of death for the pop icon is still unknown.

    Perez…..stop reporting about Mike like you care….You said he faked his death yesterday…you need to kill yourself.



  2. 2

    cue……..lots of scathing attacks on perez. AGAIN. get over this "original post" he had, people! GOD!!!



  3. 3

    He's a f**** jackass! Is it too hard to say Rest in Peace?



  4. 4

    uuggh he's such an idiot



  5. 5

    You never know when something tragic will happen to someone. That is one of the reasons why - Perez - making FUN and belittling people is never a good thing. I wonder what horrible things you have said about Michael in the past.



  6. 6

    It's tragic that Michael Jackson was such a messed up dude.



  7. 7

    THE CAUSE OF DEATH WAS TAKING A MASSIVE DOSE OF DEMEROL ( SYNTHETIC MORPHINE) AT 11:30 A.M. YESTERDAY . ABOUT 10 MINUTES AFTER , HE WENT INTO CARDIAC ARREST .



  8. 8

    Exactly - he's been under inhuman stress and pressure since he was a tiny kid. Humans aren't built to withstand all that for so long. So he coped however he could, I suppose. We love our celebrities way too much.



  9. 9

    It's so true and so sad….
    :(



  10. 10

    seriously… who the fuck cares about micheal jackson…

    .
    .
    bet the number of hits to the site are at record levels again
    .
    .
    Perez = marketing genius.

    Oh hey, while I'm here, Perez, is Castro still dead?



  15. 15

    When are you goign to apologize Perez?



  16. 16

    brittnirenae…ummmmm….he's kinda a big deal…one of the most talented and influencial celebrities of our time. if u don't care about celebrities…why do you come to a site devoted to talking about celebrities?



  17. 17

    too bad this didn't happen to Barrack Hussein Obama



  18. 18

    Sad but true .. I'm proud of him for the fact he was able to go on for this long without seriously blowing up the fuckin planet! That's what I'd feel like doing if I had to go through even half of what he went through!



  19. 19

    PEREZ I REALLY FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TAKEN THING'S TO FAR WITH YESTERDAYS BLOG ABOUT HIM FAKING HIS DEATH WE CAN FUCKING SAY. EVERYTHING YOU DO BAD IN LIFE WILL COME BACK TO YOU.ALL THE BULLSHIT TALKING YOU DO WILL GET YOUR ASS FUCKED AGAIN I WILL NO LONGER VISIT THIS SITE.AM SPANISH AND AM ASHAMED BY YOUR IGNORANT NO HAVIN FRIEND'S IN HIGH SCHOOL ASS. THAT'S THE ONLY REASON WHY YOU GO SO HARD ON OTHER PEOPLE BECAUSE YOU BITCH ASS IS UNHAPPY

    R.I.P MICHAEL JACKSON!



  20. 20

    Re: The DOUCHEess – ahhh you are saying such nice things. Just love how you express. Maybe reading would help getting even more and better vocabulary?! Don't you think?



  21. 21

    I really don't consier this "Lashing Out", once again you over-react to hearing the truth!!



  22. 22

    Why is everyone freaking out at Perez? The media itself is ugly! I'd be the first to say it. Why express ALL of your anger at one person? The media has been disrespecting the celebs long before Perez came along.



  23. 23

    Michael Levine SUCKS. That guy publishes books listing the personal residence addresses of tons of celebrities, many of whom were his clients. I had a good friend who interned for him and she had some terrible things to say about this sleazy guy.



  24. 24

    15 seconds here we come!

  25. YUCK says – reply to this


    25

    perez you are an idiot and stop over sensationalizing everything. the guy just said something he had first hand knowledge about I dont think this is a big secret. you are a big fucking jerk.



  26. 26

    Re: Buckwheat – Your a fuckin asshole and as far as your "supposedly degrading" profile pic you REALLY aughta be ashamed of yourself. It only shows how much you "wish" blacks arn't in high positions they are in today. Hey what a fuckin brilliant idea using buckwheat as your profile pic to try to make stabs at people. You are a sorry pathetic excuse for a human being you bastard. You may be hiding your stupid cowardly ass behind that profile, but God knows who your sorry ass is and that is all that matters. Enjoy your eternity in hell and live it up as long as you can while your alive.

    Call it the curse of musical kings. Elvis Presley, the King of Rock & Roll, sadly died in 1977 at 42 – a gorgeously talented legend who declined into a bloated, pill-popping shadow of himself. Three decades later, Michael Jackson tragically died at 50 – a songwriting, dancing and singing genius once hailed as the King of Pop who decayed into an emaciated, pill-popping caricature of himself. While both icons have bequeathed rich musical legacies, Jackson passed at the cusp of his weirdness. He went from black to white, from beautiful to fearsome, from man to eunuch, from superstar to superfreak. And the world watched as enumerable curses, mostly self-imposed, tarnished his crown. The tabloids, which made fortunes selling pages about Jackson’s catastrophic antics, are no doubt mourning the end of Wacko Jacko headlines. Lucky for the gossip rags that the Queen of Crude, Britney Spears, lives on with a new generation of wannabes who can’t hold a candle to the brilliance of Elvis and Michael. Hopefully the kings are planning a royal duet in heaven. RIP.



  30. 30

    Michael Levine you are a jerk of the highest order!



  31. 31

    BRITNEY SPEARS: I hope you're listening!



  32. 32

    The only tragedy here are the scores of children Jackson molested, and that we let him get away with it. Morons like Fat Boy Perez who glorify this pedophile enabled this pedophile to operate an amusement park and zoo to attract young boys for him to molest with impunity. Would you be mourning this monster if he raped one of your children?



  33. 33

    oh god, shut the fuck up! if you knew it was coming than why didnt you step in and do something. everytime someone dies, there always has to be these stupid people saying "oh i saw it coming" just adding more salt to the wound. keep it to yourself.



  34. 34

    Re: The DOUCHEess – Well intelligent enough expressing myself without needing any abusive words and still making you go crazy! haha I passed your phase of articulading when I grew out of puberty and even then I spoke better than you do. So go read the Newspapers and get the fact that Michael Jackson did fake before and wasn't happy at all that he would perform all 50 concerts in London. So why is Perez suggestion that wrong?



  35. 35

    this guy????? everyone will come out of the cracks now.

    Erik Fellows and tickets in London for concert



  36. 36

    Perez is the face of Hollywood. Think about it, hes that bitchy girl that talks about your clothing says it looks like shit and then when you walk by she says Hey thats a great dress? Where did you get it? We should shop sometime! Can I get mad at Perez being a hypocrite …. yeah, but what does that solve? Does it bring back micheal? Will It make him stop? No, so instead of beating him down , lets just do the opposite and just let him be . Perez wont change so fighting bout it wont change that either. R.I.P Micheal Jackson, you were and always will be the King Of Pop.



  37. 37

    Re: mary-germany – Why do you continue to bring up the negative shit about MJ ? That is the most unethical and classless thing you could do, and all the education in the World wouldn't save your sorry ass from hell, fuck you bitch.



  38. 38

    oh please,it was a drug overdose,over many years



  39. 39

    Re: cali kitty
    Do you know that for sure?
    Or do you just think that he had to be really messed up and it was about time the drugs took their toll?



  40. 40

    Re: DisorderlyMan
    Sorry but were you there when it happened?
    Were you one of the kids?
    Were you watching it?
    Nothin happened. This is what happens when your father abusses you and then you never have a child hood
    Its called regressing and thats what he was guilty of
    If anyone should be locked up its his father!
    Know your facts and have the proof before stating lies.



  41. 41

    OK.. Michael Leveine - YOU are a disgusting piece of trash and EVERYONE ih Hollywood knows it. You haven't represented a client in 10 years — and you still act like you know shit about anything in this town. just exactly when did ANY of us decide YOU were the "VOICE" or face of publicity? Your fucking book is a fucking joke and you are a deeply sick and tragic fucker. NOBODY will work for you. Your PR firm (if you can call it that) is a fucking joke and you represented MJ for about 5 minutes one day before he fired your wimpy ass. You didn't help his image you kissed ass so he wouldn't fire you so you could collect the paycheck. You are disgusting - vile and perverted. FUCK OFF! Quit fucking making statements tot he press. You suck!!



  42. 42

    Leech!



  43. 43

    Re: DisorderlyMan – and you know this because you were there?

    Amen CandeeBrie3!



  45. 45

    poor guy, there really is way too much pressure put on celebs nowadays. people need to cut them a break, they're human. too many people are furiously cruel to those in the public eye. im sure the anxiety of having millions critique your every move alone would kill anyone. it's nice that people are finally respecting the man and leaving his family alone during this time but it's a little too late now.



  46. 46

    Re: The DOUCHEess – Well I guess by the number of people you are wishing to hell, there ain't much space down there anymore! hahaha Hope you saved me a nice place. Oh wait you're not God. Whoops! I think he is a lot smarter than you so he won't put people in hell just because of repeating a FACT. And I think he can tell the difference between judging somebody like you are doing the whole time your on this site and people who are capable of remembering Michael Jackson with all his good and bad acts wihtout judging him. SEE? Have a nice brisky day yourself Sweetie!



  47. 47

    Michael Levine looks like he could easily play George Washington in a movie–too bad he's a lawyer and not an actor : )



  48. 48

    look at his stupid smile like he knows something. how many will try to cash in on poor michaels life and death. he foresaw nothing but dollar signs. shame on you for printing this.



  49. 49

    we know why Michael Jackson died: because f_ggots like you Perez never stood by him. the gay community laughed with everybody else when the accusations piled on. nobody tried to defend him or challenge the media reporting. that would drive anybody crazy. HE KILLED HIMSELF WITH DRUGS. now f_ggots like Perez are all "oh, so sorry, so sad, I feel really bad about his kids." same f_ggots didn't think twice about his kids when they were trashing him for being a freak. and f_ggot Perez trashes people every day on here. he never thinks about their kids or anything else but his own fame. well, fame's a b_tch, Perez. one day you're hot, and the next you're a punching bag.

    Re: mary-germany
    Okayyy and you know he faked because your him and a doctor right?
    Micheal has had medical problems for forever and a day so he was really sick
    And he could have been fakin truee.
    But because Perez has to make snarky comments every second about everything
    He spoke to soon and the man died
    Yes he made a mistake but the hypocracy of it all after
    Perez is a teenaged school girl
    Just like regina king in Mean Girls
    And if your Gonna stand by him
    Your Gretchen Weiners

    Re: brittnirenae
    True it happens but
    Obviously you dont understand what impact this man had on music
    Or you simply dont care so heres 2 things you can do
    1. Research him and understand what he was about
    2. Keep your mouth closed if you have nothin nice to say

    I believe in free speech but the man is dead
    Let him rest for once in his life.
