You won't need too seek this alleged "love story" out because most of it is online, thanks to the fans who want to expose this fraud. As a result it will tank along with the other tell all MJ books :assassin::hysterical:

:lol:
 
^ That's what it seems, she was an obsessive fan that lived in the area that would fallow his every move.. got lucky, maybe Mike thought she was cute and got a more close view of Mikes life than other fans and thought there was something much more than what Michael thought..
 
^^Funny to see "Billie Jean Jackson" get arrested here. Too bad Michael couldn't see the future and slap a restraining order on Shana too.
 
I cannot even begin to tell you all how disappointed I am with this book. I'll admit that I was naive and fell for everything Shana said. I believed her when she said this would not be a negative book about Michael. She lied. I don't believe anything she says in the book about being close to Michael. This book was clearly written with the intention of the tabloids grabbing bits and pieces from it and making headlines. I read the reviews on Amazon this morning to see if anyone else had the same opinion as me and it looks like all of the positive reviews of the book have come from her friends (two of whom I recognize by their user name) and a couple of her fans. I would encourage anyone who has read this book to leave an honest review about it on Amazon. I'll be leaving my review soon and will also be throwing this book in the trash where it belongs
 
You know whats kind of ironic?? So she is full of herself and keeps talking about how great she is in the book from the excerpts that was shared here.. She sure has a lot of confidence for someone that kept being rejected by Michael even by her own emission..

Could you imagine how huge her head would have gotten if Michael had whatever they had public? haha, she would have thought she was the queen of England.. all herself the Queen of Neverland.. Queen on Pop.

It would be bigger than than the GoodYear Blimp :hysterical: :magicstick, if she was his women she wouldn't be so thirsty for attention. Plus I notice she ignores the posts on her FB page that clearly tell her that she can't get her facts together eg. meeting Madonna the 90s when if fact it was in 84, 1993 Chile concert where she said it was cancelled...and it wasn't....the list goes on and on. She is most definitely coo coo for coca puffs:lies: :crazy.
 
I left my review on the book more than 24 hours ago on Amazon and it never showed up. What's the point in offering a review system if the reviews don't even count?
 
I was on Amazon last night and read the first few pages of her book-too bad she didn't leave it at that as they were pretty entertaining and I could relate to the time period.
She said her father looked like Johnny Mathis, (who was gorgeous), they were obviously well off, and she and a friend snuck into a Baryshnikov after party dressed in ballet rehearsal clothes. Pretty brazen for a kid. But at the same time, exciting.

If this is all I had read, I might have considered reading it.
But...
 
I wrote about the first part in her book in my review that Amazon refuses to post. The beginning of the book is actually pretty good and I found it interesting. The writing style changes throughout the book, though. It was fairly easy to determine what was real and what wasn't just by the change in the style it was written. Do any of you know if she had help writing this book or if she wrote it all herself?

I'm going to be completely honest. I only created an account on here to share my opinion on Shana's book and to get a consensus from others as to what they thought. I have followed Shana on Facebook for years and have shared numerous messages with her back and forth. I believed her when she said this book would be truthful. I began reading the book with the belief that everything I was reading was true and actually happened. The further I read the more I began to question things.

I feel there are bits and pieces of the book that are true (mainly some of the work situations) but I also feel there is a huge percentage of this book that is not true. Just as I mentioned above the writing style changes throughout the book and for me that was a huge red flag. It was as if the things that seemed plausible were written in one style and the things that seemed questionable were written in another.

It is my belief that the filming of Is It Scary and Ghosts was the most Shana and Michael interacted. Looking back on things now it makes sense. She is constantly posting on social media about Ghosts and in our private messages she would mention it as well. I always found it strange but chalked it up to her being happy to have been in the film(s). In he messages she and I shared back and forth I believed her claims. I will say that she never came out and said yes or no to the majority of my questions but she had a way of answering things without saying yes or no. I hope that makes sense. My thoughts on the whole situation have changed since reading the book. I do not believe there was any secret romance or even a friendship. I wanted desperately to believe that everything Shana said was true. I had high hopes for this book.

In my Amazon review I mentioned several reviews that I found questionable. In being friends with her on Facebook before she really started opening her account up to fans I got a pretty good sense of who her friends were outside of social media. Several of the positive reviews of her book are from people I know she is friends with. It is obvious by their user names on Amazon. In my review I never mentioned their names but I find it very suspicious that Amazon would refuse to post my review and leave the others when it is clear which ones came from her friends. Is it wrong for your friends to write a review on your book? It may not be wrong but I do feel it is somewhat dishonest.

I have spoken with several others this weekend who received their books this past week and my eyes have really been opened. I encourage those who have not done so yet to look at the people who are vouching for this book and its content. Several people who have endorsed this book have sold stories to tabloids and tried to make money off of Michael and his fans since his passing. Two of the people endorsing this book (whose names have conveniently been left off the editorial review here on Amazon) sued Michael Jackson’s estate in 2013. I wish I had known all of this before I made my purchase.

There. That's basically my review on the book. Take it for what you will. I am very disappointed in this book and in myself for believing someone had honest intentions when it came to writing a book about Michael.

Thanks for the review and sorry you had to waste your money on it. After 7 years you can clearly begin to see who his real friends are, and who are the backstabbing attention seeking opportunists. Unfortunately Shana falls into the later category, and what I've read so far pretty much confirmed what I thought. You know a lot of these people who were in MJ's life were and are wolves in sheep's clothing.......and with the Estate making so much money, it ain't gonna stop anytime soon.

Shana keeps bringing up boys in every other page of her book, totally unnecessarily.

I have to say this is a bit interesting though as this is about Safechuck and his story in his lawsuit about Jam is something completely different. His story is that by the time MJ started to drift away from him because he was older and he shifted his attention on younger boys like Brett. He claims that this left him crying and MJ sent him home early from the shooting of Jam. That's a totally different narrative than this one where MJ does not seem to have a problem with his age and invites him to tour just like before.

This nobody has some nerve to lambast MJ, an international superstar who's been working since his early childhood for "not focusing on his work". LMAO at the irony.

This!

Maybe if she put half as much work into her lies as Michael did into his performances, videos, and overall career then maybe just maybe this book might sound just a little itsy bitsy bit realistic.
 
I thought Ola Ray and Tatiana Thumbtzen were :crazy, but Shana is nasty piece of work, and it shows in her book and in her online demeanor. Serves her right that she has been exposed. Sick and tired of these opportunists and their books......"telling the truth my ass". Its all about attention and MONEY at the expense of MJ! Even the title of her book is dodgy, Michael & Me......kind of a rip-off of Elvis and Me by Priscilla Presley....no honey their was never Michael & Shana....more like Michael & whack job fan turned stalker :rofl:

I really thought the least she'd do was be nice about him.

Like maybe be too graphic, be a bit drama seeking, but I had no idea she would play into every negative story about him out there.

Nobody will use this book to defend or humanize him.

What a terrible person she is. I'm more upset she's been lying for years about defending him. I'm also upset I didn't question why she seemed so keen to insert herself into the fandom throughout these years. Remember when the "S" tapes were about and Shana kept getting asked on her page if she was "S" so she started signing her name as S on her facebook? "S" on those tapes was meant to be a virgin - I bet Shana's taken that story from her.

I really despise this woman now. How dare she simply add more hatred and fuel towards MJ when there's more than enough out there as it is. How dare she profit off his fans. She's a Wade Robson to me.

I respect Tatiana a LOT more as her book is a lot warmer and she doesn't try and insert innuendo about boys into everything. Shana is trash to me now.

Yuuuuuuuup that's what I mean by wolves in sheep's clothing. Over the years many people that we thought who loved and cared for him, turned out to be opportunists. Add Shana to that list.
 
I would strongly suggest that those who read the book and aren't satisfied with it to post your reviews on Amazon.com

An honest review stating your dissatisfaction with her book really could save other people from wasting their money on a book that isn't true and does absolutely nothing to uphold Michael's legacy.

Shana should really be ashamed of herself for writing this book.

I assumed there would be some graphic parts and that she would probably share a bit more than people really needed to know but I never saw this coming. You're right, this will not be a book that is used to defend or humanize him. It's almost as if she makes it sound like she was this innocent child-like virgin whom he groomed. That's the impression I got and like I said before, I was a Shana supporter prior to this.

I do remember the "S" tapes and Shana trying to insert herself in to that. She also made it sound like she was Emily in Frank Cascio's book as well as Melissa in the Glenda tapes. People started saying Whatever Happens was about their relationship as well and that's why Michael sang "Sha na na na" in the song. She then began telling people her nickname was Sha na na and people began referring to her as that on Facebook. I do think that she took a lot of this book from forums and fanfics. I remember reading similar stories as to what she says happened years ago online. It seems she got ideas from others and built upon their stories to create her own.

When she moved to LA her goal was to meet and marry Michael. From the time she got there she tried everything she could to insert herself in to his life. She wasn't successful in her attempts and I believe that's where the ET interview came in. She knew if she went on there that her name would forever be linked to his. When Michael died she saw yet another opportunity to re-write the story. She got what she wanted in terms of always being associated with him. If you type her name in to Google everything that comes up is "Michael Jackson's Secret Lover". Shana didn't get what she wanted when Michael was alive and so she's making sure she does now that he's gone.

I would suggest this as well. Even if you didn't purchase the book via Amazon you can still leave a review. A couple of things I would recommend is to not mention you are returning the book and don't say anything about another user's review. I believe that's what may have prevented my review from being posted.
 
She seems to be exactly the women that he would sing about... ie. Dirty Diana, Billie Jean, Dangerous.....

I think she was an over obsessed fan that got lucky enough to get close enough to know him.... IDK if he ever 'hit it', but she def thought whatever it was.. was may more than it really was.. shes a bit cucu for coco puffs!
 
Anyone remember how when people used to ask her why she only had one single photo of herself with Michael she claimed it's because it was a publicly taken photo and therefore one she was comfortable sharing as Michael would be okay with it?

But it turns out she just doesn't have ANY other photos of herself with him?

And now shares "stories" he absolutely would not be comfortable having shared at all?

For years supposed "insiders" have always said that Shana was too aggressive and MJ wasn't into her like that. That she was basically like a stalker and not MJ's type at all because he didn't like the scarily obsessed girls.

I 10000% believe those stories now.

Did you try to post another review without including what you said the first time that caused your review to be denied? I'm sure your review was honest and true. Just from reading what you posted here I can't see why you wouldn't be able to post another one. I think your review would really help others decide whether or not they want to buy the book.

Yes. I remember that and wasn't too surprised that her book doesn't contain any private pictures of her and Michael. Just the usual pictures of Shana around stuff or people pertaining to Michael.

She was and still is obsessed with Michael imo and has written a book that is full of things that are either not true or make Michael look bad. I think she wrote the book for her and only her. She didn't get what she wanted when Michael was alive so in a sense she is getting what she wanted in his death which is so sad to me.
There is no way Michael would have wanted any of this shared with the world IF any of it did in fact happen.

Poor Michael. People really need to let him Rest In Peace.

Where do you guys get all this stuff about Shana from? I barely knew who this woman was prior to this thread but it looks like I've been missing a lot. So she's been making claims about her relationship with Michael for years? What are the "S" tapes?
 
She has claimed to be Michael's "secret lover" for years but I didn't know she claimed to be all those wome who were indeed part of his life. What a despicable low-life stalker she is. It makes me wonder why Michael didn't put a restraining order against her, she totally deserved it. I just hope the fandom ignores her and stop feeding her ego and crazy fantasies after reading excerpts or the whole book.

I did and received the following message:

"Amazon does not permit reviews from customers whose relationship to the product or seller may be perceived as biased or who have previously submitted a review on a product that dd not comply with our customer review guidelines."

That's honestly a bunch of crap. Her friends are allowed to purchase multiple books from multiple accounts (which I mentioned in my review) and leave reviews but Amazon is censoring negative reviews from fans. I'm really upset by this. How are people going to get an accurate review of the book if Amazon picks and chooses which reviews to post?

Yes! I remember all of that. She said she didn't want to share her private pictures because she was afraid the tabloids would do something with them. Looking back on it now that doesn't even make sense. I wonder why people aren't calling her out on things like that?

I wish some of those insiders would come forth now. I dismissed a lot of what was said early on about her because I wanted to believe her. I would really like to hear from some of the people who were around during that time and witnessed her behavior.

Because she doesn't provide enough intentional fodder and innuendo to tabloids in her book? The irony.
 
Shana doesn't share more pictures because she has none. She is not afraid of tabloids, she's on their side.

That's what is so upsetting to me. Shana knows how the tabloids crucified Michael when he was alive and continue to do so now that he is gone. She lead people to believe that her book was positive and it's not.I just think it's terrible to give the tabloids more information about Michael to twist and turn the way they want to and for her to play the victim by saying that they took what she said and twisted it is laughable. That's what tabloids do and she knows that.

I simply do not believe a word that she has said or has written in her little "memoir" and hope that those who feel the same way are vocal about it so she knows that she isn't fooling all of Michael's fans.
