Welcome back to our channel! Today, we have a fascinating and emotional story to share with you. Prince Jackson, the eldest child of the legendary Michael Jackson, recently opened up about his father's struggle with insecurity due to a skin condition. So, if you're a fan of the King of Pop or interested in understanding the personal side of his life, keep watching.
Prince Jackson, now 26, joined host Mike Tyson on a podcast to discuss his father's experience with vitiligo, a chronic condition that causes patches of skin to lose pigmentation, leaving them with a milky white appearance. Michael Jackson's insecurity about this condition was something he often discussed with his son.
Prince revealed, "When I was younger, he was always explaining to me, speaking about that. I think it was even in the autopsy report. I think the cause of it is up for speculation, but it’s either vitiligo or some form of lupus contributed to the vitiligo."
The condition caused his father significant anxiety, as Prince shared, "He had a lot of insecurity around, kind of looking blotchy in his appearance. So he wanted to see if he could smooth out his appearance, to help with his security on his physical appearance."
In 1993, Michael Jackson addressed the issue himself during an interview with Oprah Winfrey, saying, "I have a skin disorder, the pigmentation of my skin. It is something I cannot help. When people make up stories that I don't want to be who I am, it hurts me. It's a problem for me. I can't control it. But what about all the millions of people who sit in the sun to become darker, to become other than what they are? Nobody says nothing about that."
This touching revelation from Prince Jackson gives us a glimpse into the personal challenges that the King of Pop faced throughout his life. It's a reminder that even the biggest stars have their own battles to fight.
