Michael Jackson’s marriage to Lisa Presley was a fake ceremony intended to pretend to be straight, and to manipulate her to acquire song rights to her father Elvis.Jackson’s former maid, Adrian McManus, who worked at Jackson’s Neverland ranch for four years, claims the late singer fooled Lisa Presley when he married her, in order to peddle his ulterior motives of hiding his sexuality and achieving other career objectives. Jackson’s marriage to Presley lasted just 15 months between 1994 and 1996. One of Jackson’s victims featured in the documentary said the late star had told him when he was a child that his marriage to Presley didn’t mean anything.
The late singer’s ape accuser James Safechuck stated in the recent HBO documentary Leaving Neverland, where Safechuck alleges Jackson told him that his relationships with women were all for show. He says that Jackson once warned him that he might have to be seen with women, or appear to be in a romantic relationship- but it was all for show. She also claims Jackson and Presley had no sexual relationship.
And Mcmanus told Mail Online: I think that Lisa truly had a thing for Michael. ‘I think she really liked him and the sad part is I had read notes that Michael had in his bedroom.
‘He wrote a note on his bedroom ”to do” board, which read, ”Got to acquire the song list for Elvis”. It was pinned up on a piece of paper in ink, next to notes saying things like, ”I want to heal the universe” and ”I want to walk hand in hand with Prince Andrew’s children.” ‘I thought his Elvis note was a business plan, like when he bought the Beatles catalog.
‘Not long after Lisa Marie turned up at the house – Michael never mentioned her before.
‘So I don’t think he was being genuine to her. He wanted Elvis’ legacy and I think Lisa was kind of played for a fool, sad to say. But I think she learned.’
McManus, speaking from her home in Nipomo, California, also alleges the couple did not consummate their marriage.

‘I don’t believe anything sexual happened between them at all and I think after she married him, she realized he just wanted what she had,’ she said.
Jackson eventually divorced Presley in August 1996, and 3 months later married Debbie Rowe, a 37 and his nurse at a dermatology clinic. Meanwhile, in recently unearthed footage of Jackson’s sister, Latoya, the star admits having seen large sums of cheques sent to boys by Jackson’s representatives.

She said: “I must tell you that this is very difficult for me.
“Michael is my brother, I love him a great deal but I cannot, and will not, be a silent collaborator of his crimes against small, innocent children.Speaking to MTV in the unearthed video from 1993, LaToya says: ‘Michael is my brother, I love him a great deal but I cannot, and will not, be a silent collaborator of his crimes against small, innocent children.
‘If I remain silent then it means I fuel the guilt and humiliation these children are feeling and I think it’s very wrong.’
