Listen close to what mj is saying: 1:31-1:58 "I just hope that one day that they would be fair and protraying me the way I really really really am, just a loving peaceful guy wanting to make wonderful unprecedented entertainment and songs, music and film for the world, that's a I want to do, I'm no threat, I just want to do that you know...that's all I want to do is bring joy to the world". This what mj was really about, not what the media portrayed him to be.
He was too good for this world...he's dancing for God now! My respect for Steve Harvey has just raised 10 fold. RIP Dear Michael....you epic, caring, compassionate LEGEND!
he said in this interview when stevie told him he was making people happy mike said "if i do(make ppl happy) then ive done my job what im here to do on earth " that was powerful to me ,thts all he wanted to do , make ppl happy and he did but he never got nothing in return just hate hate hate :/
What a great interview! One of the best! Michael was so relaxed and enjoyed it. A big pleasure to hear his sincere words, to feel his imense L.O.V.E. !!!
About six before MJ's alleged death I felt God was telling me to (pray for Michael Jackson) I wasn't thinking about MJ or listening to his music or anything, It was before the UK tour ancmnt. After his alleged death, I met a woman in Shrvprt LA who said God told her mom to pray for MJ. Then I met a lady in my church who said a lady in the choir said God prompted her to pray for MJ. He IS such a kind person and he knows that God sde 2 be lke lttle kids, I miss him everyday! Like family

No wonder, the jealousy, MJ walked through all doors like no other, with ease, helping kids,abused...all around. Call him a wacko, jacko, BUT YOU CANT DENY THE FACT THAT THERE COULD BE NO OTHER LIKE HIM,EVER. Michael was so humble controlled to the very end, NEVER LOST HIS NERVE INSPITE OF THE OUT OF WORLD ACCUSATIONS. Wish he was given more time to give his kids the palace,the life, he wanted them to have.
Wow. MAybe Michael could have talked to Steve Harvey more, He seems like he always True friend that kept it REAL. Its little things like that, Who knows Maybe he still would have been here.
Have mercy Lord! He is the ONLY artist who can merely SPEAK or walk into a room and turn an adult into a CHILD! "OMG OMG Michael Michael!!" NOBODY has that effect but him
He has fans on any age. From a toddler to a 90+ yrs old. I have never seen an artist that had this such kind of effect on people. Really born and destined for greatness. There's nothing he does that is short of spectacular.
O NOW DISS IZZA MICHAEL JACKSON I'VE NEVER HURD B4.....DAMM STEVE U GOT 1 WHEN HE MADE THE STATEMENT "IM PROUD TO BE BLACK". LOVED IT N LOVE U MJ BECUZ WHT YOU DID 4 MUZIK CAN NEVER BE DONE BY ANYONE......MY HERO MICHAEL JACKSON
Hello world we should discover a way to get back at the tabloids create our own team and make them feel like the scum bags they are I'm making a burn book lol i love this interview he said I'm proud to be black did you heard that!
wow that wuz great. especially wen Steve actually thanked Michael, really, for just being michael. The Steve Harvey Morning Show is my new favorite radio show. Yeah, Steve, expect your ratings (or wutever its called in the "radio world") to go WAY up!
"I can find so people in low places....we could give them $15 hundred, baby....we could burn the place down!!!!!!" LOL I thank God for people like Steve Harvey.
God....I miss Mike sooo much......
Thank you for posting this wonderful and unforgettable interview.
it is so nice to hear michael laughing and being complimented,,so well deserved. mj has always been proud of being black. press just was always trying to tear him down
thank you, beautiful interview. michael was god`s greatest angel that he send to the world with a amacing talent and gift<3 now he`an angel dancing in heaven. <3 love forever<3
if i had money to Buy and maintain Neverland i would take good care of and i wouldnt change anything i would leave it they way he wanted left. and i would invite children. i not saying it would be the same and im not saying i can take his place because no one can. im saying can keep the children happy and they can have a fun place to come. the whole family RIP MICHAEL
Yes he as inspired people of all race with his music, but the number one race is black that he's inpsired. giving were black or african american can do anything just set your mind to an be a good person in life
I am not black either, but I sooo believe in equality for all races. Michael helped a lot of people from his own race, plus he helped people of ALL races. MJ was a BLACK man who had NO racism in him whatsoever but he still loved his own and being black. He loved people of all cultures and races. ALL people should be like him, every one of us. MJ's dream of a peaceful world would be realized. Michael was an inspiration to us all. Oh I hope he will get his vindication!
@Lovetheskorpionshow MJ is the original HOT chocolate IMO who just happened to have a change in skin colour - but who the fuck cares? Same gorgeous smile and eyes and beautiful voice and dancing...and omg - I could go on and on...mm mm mmj!
Thank you so much for uploading this interview. Thank you, Steve, for showins us who MJ really was.
THANK YOU, MIKE, for what you've done, which was to unite us as one human being, not as colors or natinalities, and which was to bring the world so much joy by sharing your god given talent. I will remember you as who you really were, and I will do everything I can to carry on your legacy.
Michael was so hurt by the media, and their attacks. I'm glad that Harvey was very respectful to Michael. He didn't deserve the constant judgmental statements about him, that were based on jealousy over his wealth and fame. He was probably one of the wealthiest black men in L.A., at one time. Just that alone, created negative attention from haters. What an awesome man.
I'm white and when I listened to this, I cried. He should be so proud of who he is and where he comes from. He is a legend. No one will ever be like him! RIP MJ xo
I have to share this: When I re-read Martin Luther King Jr's famous "I have a dream"-speech, I thought of MJ. MJ fulfilled what MLK wished for!! MJ strived to make people treat eachother equally, and he never stopped.... He continues his mission from Heaven, I know it.
He was self motivated. You can see Enthusiasm in his eyes and we all know nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. I think his greatest gift was of self motivation and self believe. He not only discovered his inner power and God gifted skills he reached out to achieve his goals with passion and perfection. He knew the power was within him, he also knew nothing will happen until he will stay motivated to make it happen.
Steve, Thank you so much for letting Michael Jackson know that he was loved so much. I miss him no matter what was going on at the time of his death. What so many people don't know he was love and he gave love and represented love through the person he was and his music. I love him and miss him.
Lol I laughed the whole time. It was so sweet to hear them talk to him like a human being rather than some kind of inhuman freak of nature that they try to portray him as. I do remember when Invincible came out they played that Butterflies song to DEATH. Every time I was outside I heard that song and I remember thinking to myself, "Oh shit is that really MJ singing that song.?"
@thenakedartist I know, Butterflies is amazing!! According to Wikipedia, MJs vocal range went through his life from boy soprano to high tenor - but in Butterflies he's freakin' singing falsetto!! Was there anything musically that his man couldn't do??
RIP my love, I know you are singing in Spirit and I'm looking forward to meeting you There <3
This is the best interview I"ve heard with Michael!!! Thank you Thank you Thank you so much for this!!! God bless you so much for putting this on here!!!
AMEN Steve and AMEN Michael. "Sisqo, Usher put yo shirt back on. THE KING OF POP is Back!" LOL "Plat yo hair back up, The KING is here!" Steve is so crazy. I Love LOve Love them both. Thank you Michael for doin it for us black people, Thank you for doin it for all races. We really appreciate what you did for us and i'm proud of my heritage too. I'm black and proud! God Bless We will always LOVE YOU MICHAEL from the bottom of my HEART!
This was great thank you for sharing! It is so sad Michael was such a wonderful person full of LOVE and he loved Neverland because it helped people and he did
it all to help people. MJ you gave so much LOVE and I hope before you passed you
Mike could have been black, white, pink, red, yellow ... mexican, american, greek, canadian , ... from this planet from other planet.. and he still the best man ever walked on this earth.. He was proud to be black ... im sooo proud of be his fan.. I love you forever Michael Jackson
at lease steve harvey was able to tell micheal everyhting that soo many of us wanted to say but never got the chance to do so much respect steve nd of course much LOVE micheal rest in peace!!!
i really like these interviews really thanx for the posting becuz i like to see rare things about michael jackson.............i love you michael jackson
Hey does anyone know the interview were Mike is talking about how didnt curse but now he is a couple curse words..I have been trying to find that interview forever!
I'm not black but I think it was very clear and wonderful Michael was proud to be black. It was so inspirational he pushed for further recognition of black entertainers in the beginning. It's been shameful they weren't treated equally in the first place as they are usually far superior in musical and dance talents. This was a beautiful interview. Thank you Steve and Michael, there are so many people that were and are still so very very proud of what you did and what you stood for.
@jlalewicz not to forget Martin Bashir. I hope he burns in hell. i fucking hate him the most for exploiting mike like what he did back in 2003! yep truth will come out in the future. because truth takes times, it rides slow to come out. Rip Mike
com and vindicate Michael Jackson in the media. We need the media to make it right for him and his kids we can do this through boycott action --the only language they speak
Thanks for uploading this, it makes me sad that we've lost Michael and for once I'm so glad that someone has portrayed him in the light he deserves to be shown in he was the most gifted entertainer in the world and artist, this man spent his entire life in the spotlight doing it since he was just a child.
God Bless Steve Harvey for this and R.I.P MJ now he's in a place where he can be himself and not be judged.
At the Nobel Peaceprize consert here in Norway all the artist sang "Man in the Mirror" as the closing number of the event...The Nobel P.P committee should have given the peaceprize to michael....he deserved it more than the president at that time, for all his effort to make the world a better place by all his humanitarian work around the globe. As always it`s my opinion anyway...
"I just hope that one day they will be fair and pretray me the way I really am,just a loving peaceful guy wanting to make wonderful entertainment, songs, music and films for the world!"
Yes Michael we as your fans hope so too...and they have, to some extend, after you left this earth, but still too little too late!
ya know wut makes me mad how every conversation bout mj sum one always gotta say sum thing bad even if it a i n t a conversation bout himm they gotta say sumthing when i say sum thing good they tell me stop talking bout let him r i p they b like mj i s ugly and his nose is jacked out of nowhere or ig they see a ugly person with black they b like that's mj aiy?and laugh at least i say good things
this is so cool michael is so nice so is steve and lets do it lets make the world a better place because even though we cant see michael anymore but he is still with us lets make him proud LETS DO IT
I LOVE you Michael!! Black or white, famous or not, rich or poor, I love your laugh, your naive soul, your aristocratic appearance. Please come back!!!
This interview jus makes me cry and laugh at the same time cuz Steve really said wat many of us then and now would hav wanted to say to him...he meant something to us. And Micheal?, for the record....your mission was accomplished. Even if some thought you were weird...they couldnt deny that you were of peace and love and that u gave us unprecedented entertainment :-) They were scared of ur success Mike...we loved and appreciated you for it cause u knew ur unselfish purpose...RIP hon
You are so lucky though, girl!! You got to live on the same planet as MJ!! Just think of the billions of people who are being born after MJ has passed. They won't ever get to say they shared this beautiful place with him! Only we can say that! We all are so very lucky! Michael loved you and you know that so be happy when you think of him and how much he loved you. Good times are ahead! Love you!
that was a good unbiased interview and general chat amongst men...and the women that were there lol. but this is the way most people should be, but instead theyre like martin bashir. and it sickens me.
I must confess, I have never ever bought a tabloid magazine. Left to me, the tabloids would have been out of business a long time ago. They would never portray Mike as to how regal he truly is. This man was undeserving of what was done to him. This man was attacked for his God given talents which he chose to develop. What make individuals feel that they were entitled to reap the benefits of this man's talent on lies. They don't have the dicipline as MJ to wake up at 3 am to Hone his skills.
Steve, Thanks for this wonderful interview with Michael Jackson, and thanks for expressing love from our people in the community, We have always loved/respected his music, dance and just the love he expressed thru his humanitarian gifts all around the world. Michael Jackson expresses love/joy to people. A normal sweet guy who wants to share Love/Joy to the world internationally. He did that! A fine job!
He never became barren - his autopsy report proved he was actively producing sperm. And he never used a sperm donor, he used his own. Debbie Rowe was a surrogate mother - he only married her because the media would criticize him. And he was screwing around with LMP after his divorce (while he was married to Debbie)
How can he wear brown makeup all over his face, chest, and arms when most of his body was depigmented?! It makes sense to go light. Look up Karen Faye, his makeup artist
nsam, as you mention the 'actively producing sperm' bit I was wary about that. This is the first autopsy report I've heard where that notation was made. I was wondering why was it necessary to report that. I wouldn't be surprise that slides are made from his specimen which will sell for top dollar. Why was it necessary to go into his loins is beyond me. Everybody, knows that normal males produce sperm until death. Personally, I find that there was no need to violate this man any furthur.
Yeah and people say his children are not his but why have children this way if you're not going to use your own sperm. MJ could have just adopted. I don't believe Mj was screwing around with LMP after their divorce. She wanted to try their marriage again and have children. She could have easily gotten pregnant if he actually was screwing her.
There are pictures of them meeting up after their divorce from 97-99. She was flying to whatever country he was in and they looked affectionate. I'm sure they weren't just shaking hands. But I don't think LMP would easily get pregnant because Michael was already married to Debbie who was already pregnant at the time and that would have done some serious damage to image control.
You may be right about the timing from '97-99. I think in Michael's mind Lisa was still his wife. He believed so strongly in God and marriage. As the marriage vows say, "What God has brought together, let no man put asunder". He didn't divorce LM. He divorced Debbie at her request because she couldn't deal with being in the spotlight constantly.
Not exactly.. Michael was spritiual, but he wasn't religious. Michael and LMP's marriage was turning ugly so the divorce was obvious. You can read her rollingstone interview. But I read Michaels phone convo with Shmuley and he says that after the divorce, LMP was chasing him for two years and begging him to take her back. He said he even had her letters and saw that LMP was being friends with his mom. She even admitted that herself that she was depressed for 2 yrs and was obsessed over him.
Michael grew up religious as a Jehovah Witness even into adulthood. He evolved spiritually into believing in his own connection to God and not necessarily the institution of religion. He embraced many religions as he embraced many different people or ethnic groups. MJ valued honesty and loyalty first. LMP destroyed that in their marriage. I don't think he could bring himself to trust her anymore. Eventually he remained friends with her in order to move on with his life.
Also, Debbie divorced because she clearly saw that he was still hanging out with LMP throughout her pregnancy and after giving birth to Paris, she couldn't get pregnant anymore. Didn't make sense to stay married. I feel bad for her actually. the press kept asking her why Michael was seeing LMP and she kept denying affairs and saying nothing was going on between them. I mean there was even a pic where MIchael was kissing LMP in 98
You are reaching. Debbie said on Living with Michael Jackson that she couldn't take being in the spotlight constantly. She also said that her and Michael were good friends. She requested Michael give her a divorce and had obliged her. Where is this picture in '98 of LMP and MJ kissing??
I know what Debbie said (on camera) but you gotta read between the lines. MJ was spending time with LMP, Debbie even broke down crying in 2005 in trial saying that she still loved him, Dr. Klien also said that she was in love with MJ. LMP in her interviews even said that Debbie was obsessed.
If you look up videos of MJ and LMP you'll see that they hung out throughout 97-99. They kissed in front of the Ivy restaurant in LA. I'm not making things up, I'm just giving you the facts..
I realsie that ur pretty educate on MJ but actively producing sperm doesnt mena that you cant use a donor. I believe he did use a sperm donor (Not for Blanket tho lol) but he used it as matter of choice maybe to not actually sleep with Debby b/c probably because he was still into his previous wife Lisa
If he did use a donor, then I guess he purposely selected someone with vitiligo because that's the condition that his son Prince has... or maybe he used his own sperm. I don't think Lisa had any influence on it. He said himself he was over her. She wasn't though. Anyway, I don't really care if their his kids or not. It's just that people drag the race issue into it
the actively producing sperm thing was in response to someone who thought he had none.
I havent heard any solid source saying Prince has Vitiligo. Vitligo doesnt occur that way either. What they see on Prince may be some form of exzema or its just pure media rumour. We wont know the truth about their genetic identity for now. really doesnt matter to me either :-) They're MJ's kids..he raised them, mothered and fathered them. He didnt seem over her for the 3 years after the divorce and even Debby said he was boken over the divorce from Lisa. He may or may not hav gotten over her.
Tha't is true. I don't have a solid source. I don't think that we ever will because the family is private. All I know is that it was confirmed by Latoya and Michael's makeup artists Karen Faye. It doesn't only occur through genetics, but it is still an influencing factor (if he indeed has it).
I can't tell if he was over her or not. All I know is what he said and what she said. She said she was obsessed with him for 2 yrs and he said she kept begging him to come back. Their words.
Yes thats true. I forgot to add that Vitiligo MAY be hereditary...cause that how Michael may hav devoped the gene..from his father side of the family. I read a part of the Shmulley book where he talked about that and she indirectly addressed her obsessing on Oprah's show :-) He is a bit emotional unattached in public about very personal matters so that died with him. A well...at least he felt love...loves not perfect so thats Lisa's excuse. She can look back and appreciate what they had now
I was refering to her other interviews in 2003 like rollingstone, playboy, etc.. where she discusses the marriage in detail. She was quite rude on Oprah, lol Shmuley's book was recorded in 2000, makes sense that he'd be unattached by then. Likewise for Lisa. Considering how much they fought in their marriage, it also makes sense that he was hard-hearted right after.
he was definitely in love before Lisa. But at least he experienced love, marriage, heartbreak like we all do.

Michael was so hurt by the media, and their attacks. I'm glad that Harvey was very respectful to Michael. He didn't deserve the constant judgmental statements about him, that were based on jealousy over his wealth and fame. He was probably one of the wealthiest black men in L.A., at one time. Just that alone, created negative attention from haters. What an awesome man.

He was self motivated. You can see Enthusiasm in his eyes and we all know nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. I think his greatest gift was of self motivation and self believe. He not only discovered his inner power and God gifted skills he reached out to achieve his goals with passion and perfection. He knew the power was within him, he also knew nothing will happen until he will stay motivated to make it happen.

Lol I laughed the whole time. It was so sweet to hear them talk to him like a human being rather than some kind of inhuman freak of nature that they try to portray him as. I do remember when Invincible came out they played that Butterflies song to DEATH. Every time I was outside I heard that song and I remember thinking to myself, "Oh shit is that really MJ singing that song.?"

@thenakedartist I know, Butterflies is amazing!! According to Wikipedia, MJs vocal range went through his life from boy soprano to high tenor - but in Butterflies he's freakin' singing falsetto!! Was there anything musically that his man couldn't do??

I'm not black but I think it was very clear and wonderful Michael was proud to be black. It was so inspirational he pushed for further recognition of black entertainers in the beginning. It's been shameful they weren't treated equally in the first place as they are usually far superior in musical and dance talents. This was a beautiful interview. Thank you Steve and Michael, there are so many people that were and are still so very very proud of what you did and what you stood for.

At the Nobel Peaceprize consert here in Norway all the artist sang "Man in the Mirror" as the closing number of the event...The Nobel P.P committee should have given the peaceprize to michael....he deserved it more than the president at that time, for all his effort to make the world a better place by all his humanitarian work around the globe.

I must confess, I have never ever bought a tabloid magazine. Left to me, the tabloids would have been out of business a long time ago. They would never portray Mike as to how regal he truly is. This man was undeserving of what was done to him. This man was attacked for his God given talents which he chose to develop. What make individuals feel that they were entitled to reap the benefits of this man's talent on lies. They don't have the dicipline as MJ to wake up at 3 am to Hone his skills.

He never became barren - his autopsy report proved he was actively producing sperm. And he never used a sperm donor, he used his own. Debbie Rowe was a surrogate mother - he only married her because the media would criticize him. And he was screwing around with LMP after his divorce (while he was married to Debbie)
How can he wear brown makeup all over his face, chest, and arms when most of his body was depigmented?! It makes sense to go light. Look up Karen Faye, his makeup artist
nsam 2 years ago 3
nsam, as you mention the 'actively producing sperm' bit I was wary about that. This is the first autopsy report I've heard where that notation was made. I was wondering why was it necessary to report that. I wouldn't be surprise that slides are made from his specimen which will sell for top dollar. Why was it necessary to go into his loins is beyond me. Everybody, knows that normal males produce sperm until death. Personally, I find that there was no need to violate this man any furthur.
patisserie1 2 years ago 4
Yeah and people say his children are not his but why have children this way if you're not going to use your own sperm. MJ could have just adopted. I don't believe Mj was screwing around with LMP after their divorce. She wanted to try their marriage again and have children. She could have easily gotten pregnant if he actually was screwing her.
jan5262 2 years ago
There are pictures of them meeting up after their divorce from 97-99. She was flying to whatever country he was in and they looked affectionate. I'm sure they weren't just shaking hands. But I don't think LMP would easily get pregnant because Michael was already married to Debbie who was already pregnant at the time and that would have done some serious damage to image control.
nsam 2 years ago
You may be right about the timing from '97-99. I think in Michael's mind Lisa was still his wife. He believed so strongly in God and marriage. As the marriage vows say, "What God has brought together, let no man put asunder". He didn't divorce LM. He divorced Debbie at her request because she couldn't deal with being in the spotlight constantly.
jan5262 2 years ago
Not exactly.. Michael was spritiual, but he wasn't religious. Michael and LMP's marriage was turning ugly so the divorce was obvious. You can read her rollingstone interview. But I read Michaels phone convo with Shmuley and he says that after the divorce, LMP was chasing him for two years and begging him to take her back. He said he even had her letters and saw that LMP was being friends with his mom. She even admitted that herself that she was depressed for 2 yrs and was obsessed over him.
nsam 2 years ago
Michael grew up religious as a Jehovah Witness even into adulthood. He evolved spiritually into believing in his own connection to God and not necessarily the institution of religion. He embraced many religions as he embraced many different people or ethnic groups. MJ valued honesty and loyalty first. LMP destroyed that in their marriage. I don't think he could bring himself to trust her anymore. Eventually he remained friends with her in order to move on with his life.
jan5262 2 years ago
Also, Debbie divorced because she clearly saw that he was still hanging out with LMP throughout her pregnancy and after giving birth to Paris, she couldn't get pregnant anymore. Didn't make sense to stay married. I feel bad for her actually. the press kept asking her why Michael was seeing LMP and she kept denying affairs and saying nothing was going on between them. I mean there was even a pic where MIchael was kissing LMP in 98
nsam 2 years ago
You are reaching. Debbie said on Living with Michael Jackson that she couldn't take being in the spotlight constantly. She also said that her and Michael were good friends. She requested Michael give her a divorce and had obliged her. Where is this picture in '98 of LMP and MJ kissing??
jan5262 2 years ago
I know what Debbie said (on camera) but you gotta read between the lines. MJ was spending time with LMP, Debbie even broke down crying in 2005 in trial saying that she still loved him, Dr. Klien also said that she was in love with MJ. LMP in her interviews even said that Debbie was obsessed.
If you look up videos of MJ and LMP you'll see that they hung out throughout 97-99. They kissed in front of the Ivy restaurant in LA. I'm not making things up, I'm just giving you the facts..
nsam 2 years ago
I realsie that ur pretty educate on MJ but actively producing sperm doesnt mena that you cant use a donor. I believe he did use a sperm donor (Not for Blanket tho lol) but he used it as matter of choice maybe to not actually sleep with Debby b/c probably because he was still into his previous wife Lisa
karenrenford 2 years ago
If he did use a donor, then I guess he purposely selected someone with vitiligo because that's the condition that his son Prince has... or maybe he used his own sperm. I don't think Lisa had any influence on it. He said himself he was over her. She wasn't though. Anyway, I don't really care if their his kids or not. It's just that people drag the race issue into it
the actively producing sperm thing was in response to someone who thought he had none.
nsam 2 years ago
I havent heard any solid source saying Prince has Vitiligo. Vitligo doesnt occur that way either. What they see on Prince may be some form of exzema or its just pure media rumour. We wont know the truth about their genetic identity for now. really doesnt matter to me either :-) They're MJ's kids..he raised them, mothered and fathered them. He didnt seem over her for the 3 years after the divorce and even Debby said he was boken over the divorce from Lisa. He may or may not hav gotten over her.
karenrenford 2 years ago
Tha't is true. I don't have a solid source. I don't think that we ever will because the family is private. All I know is that it was confirmed by Latoya and Michael's makeup artists Karen Faye. It doesn't only occur through genetics, but it is still an influencing factor (if he indeed has it).
I can't tell if he was over her or not. All I know is what he said and what she said. She said she was obsessed with him for 2 yrs and he said she kept begging him to come back. Their words.
nsam 2 years ago
Yes thats true. I forgot to add that Vitiligo MAY be hereditary...cause that how Michael may hav devoped the gene..from his father side of the family. I read a part of the Shmulley book where he talked about that and she indirectly addressed her obsessing on Oprah's show :-) He is a bit emotional unattached in public about very personal matters so that died with him. A well...at least he felt love...loves not perfect so thats Lisa's excuse. She can look back and appreciate what they had now
karenrenford 2 years ago
I was refering to her other interviews in 2003 like rollingstone, playboy, etc.. where she discusses the marriage in detail. She was quite rude on Oprah, lol Shmuley's book was recorded in 2000, makes sense that he'd be unattached by then. Likewise for Lisa. Considering how much they fought in their marriage, it also makes sense that he was hard-hearted right after.
he was definitely in love before Lisa. But at least he experienced love, marriage, heartbreak like we all do.
