You are correct, **Bad News Baboon**. Jackson married Presley in 1994 and they divorced in 1996. He married Debbie Rowe in 1996.

I’m sure there’s a plethora of things out there, but could anything in particular be causing the brown discolorations on his fingernails?

Perhaps his natural skin color underneath his nails?

:dubious:

You might want to peruse [this affidavit](http://www.thesmokinggun.com/doc_o_day/doc_o_day.shtml) from the civil lawsuit against Jackson. If the affiant is to be believed, Jackson most definitely gets sexual with kids.

You may doubt the veracity of the affidavit, but it contains some details you wouldn’t expect if someone had just invented a story for purposes of a lawsuit.

Or how about [this](http://www.crimelibrary.com/criminal_mind/psychology/pedophiles/7.html?sect=19)?

A profile of what pedophiles are usually like. Jackson seems to fit almost EVERY SINGLE ONE. (except for never being fired from jobs, but that’s only because he’s been in show business.)

**Guin** , I’m with you 100% on that. I’ve only read the news articles online and the affidavit, but the way he always referred to children and his relationship with them creeps me out. I do honestly believe that _he_ believes he would never harm a child. Like many molesters, he probably thinks he’s showing them true love. In the affidavit, the victim mentioned a couple of times that his refusal caused Jackson to cry. Jackson probably felt he was being rejected, as a mentally healthy person might feel being rejected by a lover.

This article in the Las Vegas Weekly, which says that MJ RETURNED most of the stuff, and he’s done this type of thing before.
