Michael also put himself in the spotlight on his own, just to gain attention. He did that with the hybaric chamber. Michael is the one who alerted the tabloids to take pics of him laying it. But it backfired on him when it became negative for his image. I read at least 5 books of Michael Jackson, even the one he helped write, & all of them mention the chamber that he put that out in the tabloids himself. Michael was a DIVA, as much as we all love him, he created his own drama, that also claims to have caused him the pain of being followed everywhere. I mean, c'mon if you don't want to noticed as "Michael Jackson" then you probably shouldn't walk around with a cane, a surgical mask, covered head to toe, looking like a woman, but wearing black pants & white socks under the dress, which is too short for his height. So yes, Michael loved the drama, as much as he hated it. If he wasn't in the spotlight, he did create something to put him there. I can't put Michael as the "victimn" all the time.
