The Estate will continue to make money after this even if they do nothing.....and that's my fear.
Sharing his bed was wrong but it's hardly new information.
While I agree with many haters that MJ shouldn't have been doing that,I also like to add that he was always happy to say it on TV or wherever.
Hardly something you'd shout from the rooftops if indeed you were up to no good.
MJ was brought up, and lived to the age of 10 in a house with a total of 11 family members and two bedrooms. All the kids shared rooms, and I believe that some shared beds. He then moved to LA with the family, and they had a much larger house. However, the J5 went on extended tours, and spent huge amounts of time living in hotels (MJ said he rarely saw his mom). If you look up all their tour dates, it's actually horrendous how much time the younger Jacksons spent away from home.
Living in hotels, means that your bedroom (also mostly shared) is also your living room. Friends would be invited there, and you'd spend a lot of your time there chatting, reading, watching TV, whatever. The J5 couldn't leave their hotels easily because they'd be mobbed.
So MJ shared a 'bedroom' from when he was born, through most of his J5 working life. The bed tends to be the most comfortable place to sit/ relax, especially if you are reading or watching TV.
It's not that surprising that he also invited friends into his 'bedroom' (with TV, books, games etc just like a hotel), when he moved to Neverland. (The room layout of which was not designed by him.)
Funnily enough, when he was interviewed (? possibly during the Victory tour), a reporter asked why he had not left home. He had spent some time in New York during filming 'The Wiz' - he rented a flat and La Toya also lived there), but leaving home completely was a huge step for him. He was still living at Hayvenhurst when he did the Motown 25 performance (I think). I only come from a small family, but I can imagine how strange it would seem living on your own after living with maybe 6 or 7 other people (after Jermaine ,Rebbie etc had left).
