A Father’s Example
In this taped telephone conversation, Michael talks about being privy, from a very young age, to his father’s blatantly philandering ways and the burden he felt at having to keep the latter’s countless indiscretions a secret from his mother.
He also speaks about his brothers and how they followed their father’s example by also having many dalliances with fans.
Growing up in this environment, Michael was deeply affected by the way the men in his family treated women. On one occasion, he even begged a young girl not to have sex with Jackie, warning her that she would only get hurt.
