mj_frenzy;4259452 said:It was also a particular incident (concerning the shooting of the ‘You Rock My World’ music video) that upset him greatly at that time.
It took place few months before the MSG shows (summer of 2001), when the team that was about to make that music video demanded that MJ had to make specific cosmetic changes on his face (through make up) in order to look good on that video.
They wanted, among other things, to put putty on his nose (which is a make up product filler for that area), but also to use make up in order to darken his skin.
When MJ learned about those demands, he became so upset that he locked himself in the bathroom crying & refusing to get out, while he was throwing various things in there.
He thought that the team saw him as an ugly man, & that caused him an additional, enormous psychological trauma.
So big was that psychological trauma that in the music video (while singing & dancing) he was persistently trying to hide his face.
That psychological trauma (caused by those team’s demands for that music video) continued to have a very bad effect on him even during those two MSG shows in September.
Maybe you should start with saying that this is an uncorroborated rumor. I frankly find that silly. MJ had been that light since the early 90's and all of a sudden they wanted to darken his skin?
