Why would someone sell the story that he was bald???

Because they were members of the Baldies alliance and needed a new high profile star to front their campaign?

Ok let's forget about her for a minute and talk about him. PCE you seem to make excuses for anything remotely negative he has done or been involved in, even blaming others for his drug addiction.
In regards to those kids, do you seriously think it's right that in return for the chance to be a father, he insisted that the children have NO contact with the mother at all? Yes, she's a disgrace too for agreeing to it, (they are both as bad as each other IMO) - but lets remember he was the one with the money and the power. I don't understand how you can think she is more terrible than him

I don't think anyone was under the illusion that his hair was all his own, or am I in the minority here?

I agree they were both selfish, she more than him because she agreed to it.. If she didnt agree to it, she could have just walked but she didnt... I agree that Michael was sensitive and very eccentric but I dont believe he did most of the things that were printed about him..

Why did the media not let the public know of his two skin conditions(Lupus and Vitiligo)? They led everybody to believe he was a self-hating black man who wanted to be white and ridiculed him everytime because of that...

Im sorry im ranting on

I've absolutely no idea Have just remembered it's been mentioned he had the disease Lupus as well as Vitiligo. I've a very dear online friend in the US and she has Lupus and one of the symptoms is loss of some hair and she uses wigs.

Yes Lupus may lead to hairloss, that coupled with the pepsi ad incident contributed to his baldness....
