Does Michael Jackson's Son Have Vitiligo?

[MsOriginalBaby]

Oprah:"Was It A Shock To You, June 25th?"

Katherine:"Oh my gosh, yess" thinking; "yes you dumbshit it's my son what do you think!"

Skin/hair/eye color, etc. are polygenic traits i.e. it is affected by multiple genes so u can have the genes even if u don't have the trait

Many polygenic traits also affected by environment i.e. multifactorial (google it)

[mjjcollectables]

@akl000 True, but there is a description below the video.

[Baybeeka16]

PRINCE MICHEAL HATES OPRAH, OPRHA IS A BITCH

[MusicItsmyLife95]

Oprah,what a stupid question.."So was it a shock to you, June 25th?...I'm stunned

[edlyntesorero]

Yes I think he has look closely at 1:27 , pause it in his finger there is discoloration, not possible for someone to mess up with this video .

[heartstruck1995]

oprah asked too much dumb question what a retard

[nellie2581]

Sad story

[xxxMarzikinnsxxx]

Oprah shut the hell up we all know that you trashed micheal with lmp and her deformed mother i hate you.

[WeskerHouse013]

i wish oprah would fall off the edge of the earth..oprah spent so much time talkin trash when she laughed with lisa marie about MJ, Fuck u oprah fat bitch.

[tokillamockingbirdd]

1:03 i love himmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.. from turkey..

[TheFaith78]

Hair color do change when growing up. I was as blond as Prince was as he was very young, but like him I am now light brown. I also had few summer red hair phases in my youth too and it was all natural.

And for the Prince being MJ's real son... Look at his eyes. Those brown eyes are streight from MJ.

[MetaITV]

"hes a great cook"

*shakes head* lol

[2999michaeljackson]

ADDICTION TO PLASTIC SURGERY?!?! HE ONLY HAD 2 RHINOPLASTYS! DONT WASTE YOUR CASH ON THAT FILTHY TABLOID TRASH, KATHERINE, HE'S YOUR SON, WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?! :///

[MegaPoohbear1996]

i dnt undrstnd hw the title fits the video

[mjjcollectables]

@MegaPoohbear1996 I've written some details about the video below it, sorry if you felt mislead by the title.

[5880missy]

Michael had vitilgo before the pepsi accident. It was in the beginning stages. MJ was a proud black man,he didn't want to be white,because of vitligo it was something he couldn't help. Also Prince's was dyed to blonde when he was younger,you can clearly see his roots,plus when he a newborn he had dark hair.

[shakaama]

oh i saw the vitiligo on his hand at 1:26

[pgt1312]

I don't know I just think they (media) destroyed MJ and made people to judge him, hate him, and have bad thoughts about him.

[pgt1312]

Sometime I want to hear the truth!!, not just bad news, speculations, scandals (the way the media gets money) well to be clearer I don't want to hear LIES!, example of what they don't want to say is (example) "here we have the sad results of a difficult life (as a child and adult) and the consecuences in part for the media..." here well talking about the plastic surgeries. They prefer to confirm Lies!

[pgt1312]

I remember MJ for his acts and for what he believed, music and legacy, I'm not so ignorant to believe everything I hear or see from TV.

[pgt1312]

I love Michael at 0:38, sorry Oprah but was a stupid question the first one you asked to mrs. Katherine, well and the others too.

I just want to know, why they want to know EVERYTHING of EVERY artist???? Oh my gosh they even care about how they become superstars they just care their personal life and bad things about it. HATE MEDIA! period

[pgt1312]

I'm just angry why the mediaa do that, they only want to know the bad things of the people even if they are lies, they said MJ was a freak, an adict, and other horrible things.. but why they don't say the truth, MJ was an humanitarian, a very unhappy person that pass through a difficult life, a person with moral, the MEDIA just don't believe there are persons who thinks not all is about sex.

[rockyfan94]

his mom does a good impression of mike :P well katherine, janet and mike have the same voice anyway lol

[glamrobs]

lol that was funny paris-he was the best cook ever blanket shaking his head

[latasche12]

i wish michael would cook for me :(

[cheeseleaflove]

the thing about it is if you look at prince and he looks similar to his father

[10Yuber]

Paris is cute and Prince loves video games like me. That's awesome!

[iloveakki007]

These kids are remarkably strong.

[faithiscoolio]

his kids seem very normal...

[mjfan4life1230]

I thing blanket has vitiligo not prince or paris

[mjjcollectables]

@mjfan4life1230 I personally can't see any evidence of that, but maybe you've seen something I missed.

[lilmisswisebrown]

Does it really matter if they were biologically his or not? I think they are, however if they werent so what? Adopted kids still call their parents mummy and daddy and love eac hother no less because of it, are you saying if you adopt a child that child is not yours?? biologically yes, but biologically means nothing, its the love between the parent and child that means something, so shut up.

[Stipe4ever]

Yes Prince does have vitiligo, whether he's Michael's biological son I can't say, but it's a coincidence they both have the skin disease, I have photos of Prince in the sea with Paris & Blanket you can clearly see the patches. Princes hair was dyed blonde as a child, he was sometimes seen with dark roots so I think this is true. Whatever though, Michael was their Daddy in every sense of the word x

[mjjcollectables]

@Stipe4ever Great points, thanks for your input :)

[etoial]

@mjjcollectables Hair color changes due to varying melanin levels & certain genes may turn on later in life e.g. Marilyn Monroe was a natural blonde as a toddler. Seen this in my own friends & natural blonde hair can have darker roots. Or u may see dark 'roots' as the hair color is changing. Never saw a source of MJ confirming that he dyed Prince's hair. This rumor may come from ignorance that Black ppl can't have children with blonde hair or about MJ preferring "white". We should be careful.

[etoial]

@mjjcollectables New York Times article from October about a dark skinned Black woman with two blonde, light-skinned children & the nasty comments people make to her

nytimes.com/2011/10/13/us/for-­mixed-family-old-racial-tensio­ns-remain-part-of-life.html

People should be better informed rather than speculating about MJ dyeing prince's hair. Learn biology about how hair color changes & genes. Knowledge is power & the way to stop ignorance & hate. Remember how much rumors hurt MJ.

[10Yuber]

@Stipe4ever Prince is his biological son.

[kezkn]

@Stipe4ever Michael kids are, always will be. No, Prince wasnt dyed. If you cross race, it is obvious, otherwise, all blonds arent always blonds. Some are red haired, some are dark haired and vice versa. I have a cousin whos hair colur changed completely, she was blond, now has dark blond, which is almost brown.

[1308Klaudia]

Oprah is such a bitch. In 1993 she was talking in interview with Michael that his family was unfair to him because of that they( probably) beat him, and now she is licking their ass.

[emmaensign6]

Prince definitely has vitiligo... it's commonly known... this ivdeo doesn't even show it very well or at all

[mjjcollectables]

@emmaensign6 Watch at highest resolution and on a decent monitor and you'll see it, I can.

[emmaensign6]

@mjjcollectables I have a macbook with the best graphics card on the market lol.... still couldn't see it! Prince definately has vitiligo, i just can't see it in this video lol

[dramatish]

@emmaensign6 ARE YOU THAT DUMB THIS KIDS ARE NOT HIS OWN CHILDREN.michael jackson was black .his children would be mixed..this kids are clearly white.nothing wrong with it , but stop saying this stupid things

[RockyBalboa211]

@dramatish: they are not white.. they look like mixed children..

[SorrowfulLesson]

@dramatish

Um. Try checking out the article on dailymail (uk site). The pictures clearly show that Prince has Vitiligo. Also, my father is as dark as MJ's father, and my mother is white with blonde hair and blue eyes and I don't look mixed at all. I look white. DNA test proves who my dad is though. I take after my mother, like Prince and Paris do. Yes, they were IVF, but only because Debbie had trouble getting pregnant naturally, and after Paris, was deemed unable to carry any more kids.

[mjjcollectables]

@SorrowfulLesson Good argument, thanks for your input :)

[SorrowfulLesson]

@mjjcollectables

Not a problem :) Also, for everyone out there, MJ is not fully African. He's African, Native American, and White mixed. Which means that any or all of his children could come out very, very light, especially if he has them with white women, which he did. Those children may look like some people MJ knew in life, but they also look a LOT like him. Though Vitiligo isn't genetic, it's more common if one or both parents have it.

[TheSuperk25]

Michael is right. His mother loves everybody and his definition of perfection.

[MrKittinmittin]

i'd agree - it looks as if he might have it

[honeycomb97]

1:28 look at his hand

[justinbieberhater84]

remarkably normal?? why wouldn't they be normal?

[mjjcollectables]

@justinbieberhater84 There's no reason to assume they aren't 'normal'. However, they have definately lived 'extraordinary' lives. There is a difference between normal and ordinary.

[58selena58]

aw im tearing up.. he was such a great human being. all the accusations! it must have been exhausting...

[prudduck]

Such a lovely man :'(

[mjjcollectables]

@prudduck I agree. I would love to have seen what he would have continued to create. He was only 50, so there should have so much more entertainment and art created by him. But mostly, his kids have been robbed of their father, and that is sad.

[teeleemomo36]

@mjjcollectables UM OK WHAT THE FUCK DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH PRINCE HAVING VITILIGO? THEY DIDN'T EVEN MENTION IT!

[mjjcollectables]

@teeleemomo36 Please read the desciption I put with the video.

[mjjcollectables]

@Readygal8 Yes you are correct about the possible signs of vitiligo, but unless you are a young teenage girl of similar age to Prince I don't think you should be talking about him like that. He is very young, only 13 I think.

[ZenMaster93]

He didnt have more than maybe 8 plastic surgerys ! The change is because of the age !

[mjjcollectables]

@ZenMaster93 Since MJ's death it has been speculated that he was not the biological father of his children. I believe he was, for several reasons. 1. He said he was, and I have no reason to doubt his word. 2. His family have on many occasions insisted they are his children. 3. The children look just like him, Blanket looks the spitting image of MJ at the same age. 4. MJ had Vitiligo, and it appears there is mounting evidence that Prince may also have the condition (possibly hereditry).

[mjjcollectables]

@ZenMaster93 Of course you are entitled to an opinion, and I won't deny you that. But, I'm not sure if you are defending MJ by making your comment. I don't mean to be hypocritical, or offensive but your comment is largely unsubstantiated, and quite frankly irrelevant. I'm trying to argue against the hurtful media comments surrounding MJ's children and paternity. Plastic surgery is another subject and really not important and I'd rather the subject stay out of this discussion.

[ZenMaster93]

@mjjcollectables This plastic surgery lie was one of the things the fucking media created, like mj said, he had surgery on his nose but thats it.

[mjjcollectables]

@ZenMaster93 Look, I agree with you on that, the whole plastic surgery subject was spretty offensive to MJ and his fans. The media always negatively embelished (or lied) about every aspect of MJ's life. But, I actually find the media disinformation about the kids paternity much more harmful, as it's something these innocent kids are having to deal with now. The media can't hurt MJ any more with plastic surgery lies. I'd rather not bring plastic surgery into the comment thread any more. Thanks.

[preldzija89]

@ZenMaster93  i think that he had three operations maybe two

[mjjcollectables]

@preldzija89 That is speculation, without the burden of proof. He admitted to having some, and several procedures where corrective surgery on his scalp as a result of third degree burns. But again, I'd rather keep the subject of plastic surgery out of the discussion thread as it's not relevant.

[Readygal8]

@ 1:45 signs of vitiligo on the inside of his arms when he raised them up! but Prince is HOT!

[xxleandraxx1]

oprah is stupid



[mjjcollectables]

@xxleandraxx1 I don't think Oprah is stupid, quite the opposite really. But I don't like her talk show, it's not really my kind of thing. But she definately asked a stupid question to Mrs Katherine Jackson. You know I'm a chef, and I once made diiner for Mrs Jackson when she was accompanying Janet on a World Tour - She had Lasagne, and I got her signature on the restaurant order, she's a very gentle lady, and that question would have really hurt. She kept composed when Oprah asked though.

[MichaelJacksonLove99]

"so was it a shock to you, June 25th?" DUH. that was one of her babies. OF COURSE it was a shock, Oprah! That was a stupid question.

[mjjcollectables]

@MichaelJacksonLove99 Yes, I also thought that was an ignorant question. I thought Oprah was more professional, so I was dumb-founded to hear her ask that question. It's blatantly obvious that a Mother would be shocked for any of her children to die.

[Snowflake3006]

@MichaelJacksonLove99 I totally agree, very stupid question.... Poor Katherine... She just sadly answered very slowly "yes"...

[kezkn]

@MichaelJacksonLove99 Exactly, Oprah !!! Never thought she was after fame to stoop this low. I saw her very excited when she went into NEVERLAND, back in 90's . She sure got jealous, she has no ethics, didnt do her research properly. Acted like she was the perfect interviewer, like D.Sawyer. Used to like her but not after her slander, jokes about mj. Flipping sides with Tom Cruise dramatic couch jump. Oprah has no spine when it comes to money and climbing the political arena.

[Adrianna9081]

@MichaelJacksonLove99 Oprah is an idiot. I'm happy that her show is off.

[KiNgOfPoPLiVeS1]

@MichaelJacksonLove99

I agree. I just looked at her like "what in the world kind of a question is that? of course it was a shock!"

[bagpus]

okay i read the name of this video. expecting something about michaels son having vitiligo? whats that all about?

[mjjcollectables]

@bagpus I've written some details about the video below it, sorry if you felt mislead by the title.

[o0omiLdRedo0o]

Vitiligo IS hereditary/genetic! Dont be stupid. Prince have it already and some haters still insisting that they are not his biological children.

[mjjcollectables]

@o0omiLdRedo0o I have no doubts they are his kids. I am only posing the question of Vitiligo running in the family, from observing the video, but I wouldn't suggest he definately has it as I'm not a doctor. It's just a possibilty that may make the haters think twice about claiming the children aren't his.

[minecabus13]

i can't see Prince's pigment blotches at 1:45...

[mjjcollectables]

@minecabus13 I can. Even more so when I saw the original at 1080p.

[mysty0]

Vitiligo? wow., thats a definite NO moron., while having a dominantly white appearance they are not exactly ghostly white and do show some pigmentation

[mjjcollectables]

@mysty0 I'm not a moron. I'm suggesting that the blotches 'may' indicate Vitiligo, as I understand pigment blotches are a symptom of the disorder.

[mysty0]

@mjjcollectables I apologise for calling you a moron. There is also a parasite which can breed in the skin and eats Melanin.., I know because I had the pigment eaten out of the left side of my face completely and my whole body started to lighten. A friend showed me the treatment but I have had issues getting my skin to darken since.

[mjjcollectables]

@mysty0 True, pigment blotches could be a result of many disorders or something like the problem you've experienced. I just think it would be unlikely that Prince Michael would coincidentally have a completely different reason for skin pigment blotches, particularly since Michael Jackson has stated in interviews that Vitiligo runs in his family. It's plausable that Prince's blotches are from something else, but highly unlikely. I'd say it's more likely Vitiligo, just like his biological father.

[Primitive26]

There's that ignorant ass comment...AGAIN."The children are surprisingly normal" WTF? Noram and not nroaml to who's standards? These so called "journalist" needs to STFUP!

[mjjcollectables]

@Primitive26 I agree, it's not up to journalists to judge what is normal. They are supposed to just report the facts.

[barnesfam]

You see how the media likes to twist people's words? Hear when the reporter say "Prince Michael loves videogames, Paris dreams of being an actress." Prince didn't only state that he plays videogames, he also said he wants to produce movies and direct. Typically media. Always trying to make Michael and his kids look bad.

[mjjcollectables]

@barnesfam The media constantly twist comments. They did it at every opportunity with Michael Jackson. But they also do it with everybody, famous or not.

[jacksparrow14]

1:30 on his fingers there is vitiligo signs

[mjjcollectables]

@jacksparrow14 If I remember correctly, It's been reported that Michael Jackson started wearing the glove when blotches began appearing on his fingers.

[jacksparrow14]

@mjjcollectables

yes. you are correct. mj tried to hide them by wearing only one glove.

[bunski789]

vitiligo isn't hereditary, it CAN be, but it doesn't flow in genes

[mjjcollectables]

@bunski789 Ok, thanks for pointing that out, you may be right, I'm not a doctor, dermitilogist or pathologist etc etc, so I have likely made an ill informed choice of words. However if its hereditary or genetic, I don't beleive it changes the context of my description, as Michael had it and he also stated in and interview that it runs in his family (his words).

[barnesfam]

@mjjcollectables Vitiligo IS hereditary and it DOES flow in the genes. It's no coincidence that Prince has Vitiligo; he got it from his father.

[MsMoofasa]

@bunski789 mj's skin condition was a direct result of plastic surgery! He had absolutely nothing wrong with his skin until he decided to undergon multiple surgeries! People of color, tend to develop loss of pigmentation even when accidentally injured! Look around, you will notice!

[mjjcollectables]

@MsMoofasa Your comments sound wrong to me. I doubt your comments are based on fact. Also, the video I've posted has nothing to do with race. It's about the media's suggestion of paternity. I believe the children are Michael Jackson's. They look like him, the Jackson family insist they are his,their Mother Debbie Rowe insists they are his (They are the facts). And I beleive that it must be hurtful to them to hear people suggest otherwise.

[jacksparrow14]

@bunski789

i think vitiligo is hereditary. Michael said it runs in his family.

ever wonder why Latoya is kinda light in color?

[sabii29858jackson]

he was the best cook ever :DD

how cuteeeee <3

michael i love you so damn much and i will love your children too *-*

[mjjcollectables]

@sabii29858jackson I'm a chef, so finding out he was cooking for his kids and they thought he was the best cook ever impresses me.

[steved398]

love you mj

[mjjcollectables]

@steved398 He was an entertainment legend, and its a tragedy he's gone so soon. But it hits home even harder when you see the kids talking about missing him.

[steved398]

@mjjcollectables yeah i feel sorry for the kids

[AlyseAK]

yes he does have it, there were photos on the net where he had his shirt off and under his arm his skin is blotchy.

[mjjcollectables]

@AlyseAK Yes, I ended up doing a little more Googling after I posted and saw the photos you mention, and they are even more revealing. And there is also a Wikipedia reference. I do feel a little rude talking about a childs personal medical condition, but I also feel compelled to make a statement against the unfair lies people say about his paternity.

[IIIMICHAELJACKSONIII]

I LOVE THIS ...THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS.

[mjjcollectables]

@IIIMICHAELJACKSONIII Thanks.
