GreenEyedOne said:
I just watched it. To sum it up, Thorson said he was Michael's best friend, he said Michael was very anti-drug and wanted Thorson to quit doing cocaine. He was then asked by the interviewer if they were just friends... and then he said yes. She then said you say that hesitantly. He then said they were more than just friends, but that's all he would say because Michael was no longer here to defend himself. He did end up hinting their relationship was more than friends. He never said one thing about Michael being inappropriate or anything about any molestation.

The interview was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I thought he was going to accuse Michael of being a molester or something. He did not.

Edited to add: He also talked a bit about plastic surgery. Nothing inflammatory towards Michael. He just said he knew him in his earlier days.

I'm sure the interview will be posted soon.

Thanks for your summary.
So he hinted they were "more than just friends" and said nothing regarding molestation.

Ok, that wasn't that bad as I thought but it would have been better for him to shout his mouth though... :no:
 
Ok I just watched the segment of ET with the creep Scott Thorson and he said that he and Michael were great friends. He was then asked if his friendship with Michael crossed the line and after a long hesitation he said Yes. He then said he was not comfortable saying anything else because Michael is no longer here to defend himself. The interview was greatly toned down from the promo that aired last night. I think we may have had more of an impact than we know. Thanks to all of the fans who called and sent e-mail today.

The parts about Michael appeared to have been shortened.
 
I believe it's on page 1...? The mention about a gay porn magazine containing photos of young boys, that's exactly where that laughable article is going wrong. Since when are there young boys in a porn magazine? That would be child porn, these people are disgusting, i don't have any words for it. For us fans it doesn't matter, we know that Michael was a sane human being, but there will always be plenty of people (idiots) who doubt him and bullshit like this will only make those doubts stronger. Pathetic!!!!

Never for a second have i believed that Michael was gay, he just simply never appeared to me as a gay person at all. And even if these idiots are not accusing him of molestation, wtf are they doing on these shows making claims that they were his lovers, get the hell outta here, burn actually!!!!!

And why do these people come out now...why not when he was still alive and so that he could defend himself? What is it with these people? That Thorson asswipe tries to make it all sound good by saying he's not accusing him of anything and that MJ's not here to defend himself, yet you are here talking this crap about him...what a loser.

I think you are right... and they probably did edit out the "insinuating" parts. Wise move on their part! I did not see the promo from yesterday, but judging by what I've read from other fans... it wasn't pretty. So, the fans rallying against this may have toned it down some.

The interview tonight was nothing. It will be over with by tomorrow and forgotten news (that's as long as us, the fans, let it go.) Which I think we should.

Thorson is scheduled to be on the show again tomorrow, but it's strickly to talk about Liberace kicking him out of the house because of his drug problem, the ensuing lawsuit, and his death from AIDS.
 
Is this really gonna be it though? I foresee him sticking around for more press interviews.

There's that Liberace HBO movie starring Michael Douglas and Matt Damon coming out soon, I'm sure MJ's name will be dragged through all that.... sigh.

Liberace's Lover on Romance With Michael Jackson

May 01, 2012
Yesterday Scott Thorson, Liberace's former live-in boyfriend, shared private details of his five-year romance with the flamboyant entertainer. Today, Thorson drops a bombshell regarding Michael Jackson, claiming he and the King of Pop shared an intimate, sexual relationship in the eighties.
VIDEO: Liberace's Former Lover Details Secret Romance
"Michael and I had a relationship that... would cross the boundaries," Thorson reveals in an exclusive sit down with ET's Christina McLarty. "That's about all I'm comfortable saying… We were both young."
While he concedes that not many will believe that he and Michael were lovers, he says that the two became unlikely friends while he was dating Liberace. After a period of friendship, their relationship blossomed into more.
Thorson details his tumultuous relationship with the King of Pop and more in Behind the Candelabra: My Life with Liberace, a book he wrote in 1998 which is currently being adapted for the big screen featuring Matt Damon and Michael Douglas. He is presently penning a follow-up.

In the original book he never mentioned no MJ romance, in his 2002 interview he never had any other gay romances. Now he does, it's the follow up book he's writing now which will talk about that, so we're gonna have to deal with that when it comes out. :(

Well that says it all then. I wish these media sources would actually pay attention to that and do something with it..but of course, iet's actually much better to go along with the nonsense stories, better for the ratings. The media really is disgusting.
 
ET your slip is showing. Had nothing from the get go. Desperate ploy to draw eyeballs to the set. The interviewer practicallly coached him to trash MJ.

Regarding his 1988 book:

From Publishers Weekly
In 1977, the 18-year-old Thorson became "lover, friend and confidant" of the 57-year-old Liberace, a relationship that would continue until 1982. Here, with Thorleifson (coauthor of John Wayne) he relates the sorry, seamy tale of his "callous" eviction from the performer's Las Vegas penthouse in favor of a teenager and the public brouhaha that followed when he filed a palimony suit. The book is uncomfortably candid with revelations about "Lee"who was driven to experience sexual variety with younger males, even as he continued to publicly deny his homosexuality and Thorson's protestations that he was unfairly branded a street hustler by the tabloid press. Although the acrimonious suit was ultimately settled (the provisions were kept secret), Thorson notes that he has written this memoir because "I need the money." His bitterness at Liberace, who died of AIDS in 1987, lessens at the end of the book, and with back-handed gratitude he concludes: "Leaving Lee . . . may have saved my life."

No mention of MJ.

And now he's doing a follow up, which would go into everything that happened after? Or the things like his involvement in the Wonderland murders, when he got shot 5 times in 1990 during an armed robbery... and what else? Oh, of course, MJ.

I will never understand either. They all say they were Michael's best friend. I don't believe anything these people say. Garbage. Who interviewed him?

I ask myself that question all the time......

As for this person, I can honestly say I do not recall ever hearing any of this tabloid garbage that he spewed before, I just happened to have my tv on today and heard this headline mentioned on ET, and of course my reaction was, 'when will this type of foolishness end?'

And remember they still slipped in the part about him being 17. Also they mentioned Michael being in his room with "Little Emmanual Lewis". His grin was evil.

The very fact that he implyed that him & mj had a relationship is just ridiculous! as michael always said he was straight and for this dude and come n say he was gay is just wrong. If michael had said himself that he was gay then fair enough but for liberace to imply him & mj had an affair is down right low
 
Uhm, they weren't "more than friends". That hinting is a lie too, so I still consider him a lying creep.

Wait until next week, Jason (can't remember his surname) Arnie Klein's ex assistant probably shows up too! Then we have trio of loser loonies. I wonder how they live with themselves, can they look at themselves in the mirror. Do they feel regret, shame or do they even care where and what cost they earn their money? They are the bottom of the food chain, scavengers.

"loser loonies" ~~ love it! And, no, they don't feel regret, shame or care how they earn their money. Ask the ultimate vulture Diane Demon....
 
So agree, Vici, so agree. Also, that no one ever seemed to have any compassion for Michael and all the hell he went through with the media and the betrayals. What have we come to?

Demon Dimond is in league of her own, ultimate looney, mother of all of them.
 
Well good thing I didn't watch it anyway.
 
So he was not gay but had a relationship with 2 males. I guess he was forced every time. Who do these people think they are fooling? Now we have this book to deal with which will have more of the same trash. It is so sad to see that tabloid lies dominate the life of Michael when he was alive and dead, so this is why we have to continue doing visible positive Michael-oriented projects to drown out all the garbage. Sometimes I wonder how this man ever made it!!!
 
Sick, twisted people...And Michael was the weird one???

I'm sure it's just a typo, but it was liberace's ex-bf mj was meant to have had a relationship with, not liberace! Now that would have been a headline the media would have loved.

I really don't see how he can talk about a relationship with mj in the 80s in his new book when he had never mentioned it in his '98 book. Thorson's interview about a relationship was when mj was alive, but it was in 04 when all mj's attention was on the upcoming trial and he was v vulnarable, and he was being slandered right and left, eg the 2 false accusers who hadn't even met mj.

That film with matt damon and micheal douglas if it's based on thorson's original book will probably not include mj. It's directed by stephen soderburgh so it's an a-list production and i imagine it will keep things classy. Also it's an hbo prod, which i imagine would mean a tv film rather than a cinema film and comes out next yr. It will be worrying though to have thorson in the spotlight again for the film's release, he will doubtless be doing tv interviews and will doubtless bring up mj's name to increase his profile.

The possibility that they could portray Michael in a movie as a gay man, freaks me out. Not that I have any problems with gay people but it's obvious the story is simply not true. It's one thing to have losers on tabloid shows to say anything they are asked to say, but to portray Michael something that he was not in an A-list movie and thus cement him as such in people's minds would be unacceptable!
Just based on the words of a man who changed his story several times, who contradicts himself in interviews, who never mentioned being MJ's lover before 2004, in fact in 2002 he said he had no other homosexual relationship than Liberace and who is a drug addict who has just come out of jail and obviously got paid by tabloids for all the MJ "stories" he made up.

This was written on a Liberace blog in 2010:

Buzz abounds that Steven Soderbergh will start filming of a bio-pic based on the life of Liberace. While it may be campy to have Matt Damon play Scott Thorson, there are many matters in Mr. Thorson’s publicly published history that should lead us all to view his version of events with suspicion.

As Mr. Thorson has sued in the past for defamation I leave to the readers to follow the links to these public published reports and decide if these are the eyes through which an icon should be immortalized.

2002 Larry King Interview Transcript

Liberace’s Ex-Lover Claims Gay Affair With Jackson

VERY interesting that the co-author for the book written by Thorson says that he never mentioned anything about Michael Jackson until he was done with witness protection program and looking for notoriety.

Appears in documentary in 2005 Michael Jacksons Boys to disparage Michael Jackson.

National Enquirer’s Story of Meth Bush in Palm Springs

Liberace left behind many whom can tell the truth about his life unclouded by drug addiction, greed, and revenge. I hope the film producers consider the source when painting the picture of a legend through someone who clearly seeks attention through involvement with celebrities.

It would be a terrible shame to see someone who has had obvious drug problems financially benefit from royalties on a film when many explain that what had happened with Liberace in life was his sincere desire not to have his fortune fuel drug abuse.

Steven Soderbergh is so vastly talented I believe that he can deliver a better biographical account of Liberace’s life than this schmaltzy made for TV movie.

Respect - i honestly don't think thorson's candelarbre book which he wrote in 87 could have mentioned much if anything about mj otherwise we would have heard about it. It was only in 04 a financially distressed thorson suddenly came out with this big relationship with mj and then only in the nat enquirer. So if soderbegh's film is based on this book, i can't imagine they'll be having a big role, if any, for mj.
 
Yeah, I know he first mentioned MJ in 2004 in that National Enquirer article. I'm just afraid they might want to "update" the movie with this "new information" in order to somehow spice it up. But I hope they will be more classy than that.

And as a sidenote, to be honest I don't think the whole movie is respectful to even Liberace. As far as I read on Wikipedia he never came out as gay in his life, even though he likely was. But then why to make a movie on his gay relationship when he didn't come out himself? To be honest, Matt Damon and Michael Douglas or not, I find the whole project disrespectful. There seems to be such a zeal to "out" people these days. Can't we just respect the fact that everybody, even celebrities, have the right to a private life and to decide for themselves whether they want to be "out" or not?
