Marlon Brando confronted Michael Jackson over sexual abuse allegations

Marlon Brando said Michael Jackson cried when he asked him about his relationships: ‘I think he was frightened to answer me.’

A revealing conversation has emerged between Marlon Brando and Michael Jackson, in which the actor recounts Jackson’s reaction to the sexual abuse allegations brought against him in the early ’90s.

During an interview between Brando and prosecutors during Jackson’s 1994 trial, the actor recalled a conversation he’d had with Jackson at his Neverland Ranch. Prosecutors had heard rumours of a “special relationship” between the star of The Godfather and the King of Pop. Jackson was reportedly teaching Brando to dance, and Brando was teaching Jackson about acting. In the transcript, Brando, who died in 2004, shares details of an alleged discussion with Jackson, where he claims they discussed the singer’s sexuality and his difficult relationship with father Joe Jackson.

“I had asked him if he was a virgin and he just sort of laughed and giggled,” Brando said in the recorded interview, adding that Jackson was uncomfortable with the “f-word” and was too embarrassed to speak openly about his sex life.

Brando continued that he went on to grill Jackson about the allegations of child abuse against him, after which he said, Jackson began to cry and admitted hating his father.

“With this mode of behavior that’s been going on, I think it’s pretty reasonable to conclude that he may have had something to do with kids,” Brando said. “My impression was that he didn’t want to answer because he was frightened to answer me.”

Brando’s son Miko had worked for Jackson at the time of the conversation, which is how Brando, who died in 2004, came to speak with Jackson at the ranch.

The previously undisclosed conversation is revealed in the season finale of the Luminary podcast documentary series, Telephone Stories: The Trials of Michael Jackson, which airs Sunday. Brandon Ogborn, one of the show’s creator-producers, obtained a transcript of a sworn statement and verified its authenticity with Los Angeles Superior Court judge, Lauren Weis. Weis investigated Jackson during her 23 years as a prosecutor with the LA County district attorney.

Ogborn said that Brando is different to others who have spoken out about Jackson for a number of crucial reasons: he was already famous, was rich enough not to need anything, and “he’s also a weirdo, like Michael Jackson. So he’s to me a weirdo who understands another weirdo in a weird world”.
