Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson, the child most profoundly impacted by their “monstrous” father, faced numerous personal struggles. The 2019 Netflix documentary Leaving Neverland alleged inappropriate relationships with minors. However, it’s important to remember that MJ was also a father, and he proved to be inadequate.

In a disturbing incident, when his son Blanket was just nine months old, Michael dangled the tiny child over the balcony of his Berlin hotel four stories above the ground. Although the pop star claimed he was merely excited to share his newborn baby with the fans outside the hotel, the act was widely criticized as reckless and dangerous. This incident and other behaviors raised concerns about his abilities as a responsible parent.
