looking at the source who knows if this is true... it's about the last thing I expected to hear Michael doing to Bubbles.


Michael Jackson's Former Brother-In-Law Lists Family Oddities

Michael Jackson and his family practiced a bizarre ritual in which they
sacrificed a live monkey. This is just one of the allegations made by
sister LaToya Jackson's former husband, Jack Gordon, who has penned The
Jackson Family: The True Story Of The Most Powerful Family In The Music
Industry. The book comprises the oddities Gordon claims he witnessed
when he was brother-in-law to the "King Of Pop."
According to Gordon, the Jackson family was in the backyard of their
Encino, California, home in 1986 when the monkey-burning ritual
occurred. "They asked me to leave, and to never talk about it again," he
told the New York Post.
But the strange allegations don't stop there: Gordon claims that he
frequently witnessed Michael physically abusing his pet chimpanzee,
Bubbles. "I saw him punch him, kick him in the stomach. The chimp was on
the ground crying. Michael used to say, 'He doesn't feel it. He's a
chimpanzee," he said.
As for Michael's failed marriage to Lisa Marie Presley, Gordon says, "He
paid Lisa $15 million to marry him, with the promise of a music career."

Gordon also touches on Michael's ever whiter appearance, claiming he
witnessed the singer inject himself "with some kind of fluid, after
which Michael would say, 'I'm getting lighter, I'm getting lighter.'"
John Branca, a lawyer representing Michael Jackson, reports that all of
Gordon's accusations are "pure fantasy."
Jack Gordon and LaToya Jackson married in 1989 and ended their
relationship in 1997 amid allegations that he physically abused her.

While I'm sure the Jackson family is about as far from the norm as you can get, I don't think I would put too much stock into anything Jack Gordon has to say. That guy is a major sleeze-bag!!!! :yucky:

Seems pretty hard to believe all right. All though I see Jackson is involved in even more scandel now. He was filmed dangling his son out the window of a 2 or 3 storied building!
