Michael Jackson's eldest son Prince Michael has inherited his father's rare skin condition, according to the King Of Pop's sister La Toya.
 
The late Thriller icon suffered with vitiligo, a condition which causes depigmentation in patches of skin - making the pop star change colour.
 
And La Toya Jackson reveals the singer passed the disorder down to his 12-year-old son.
 
She says, "Vitiligo is on my father's side and Prince has it, too - on his arms and chest."

If this is true, I pray that Prince will not be publicly scrutinized like they did to Michael. This skin disorder is so difficult to deal with, let alone it's effects being subject to public speculation :(

[Mercurial]

:? aww that sucks and i feel bad for him if that is true but this kind of thing would definitely shut people up about the children not being biological.

[neverlandprincess]

You would think that it would be cofirmation for ppl but unvortuantly not so-there are youtube videos with close up of Princes arm /fingers and neck-there are still ppl saying that he isnt Michaels...and of course that Michael did not have it. There has been threads about the vitiligo connection between father and son and (as always) it became a huge fire thread of ppl arguing,even among fans there are ppl thinking that the kids are not biological. They just follow it up with "it doesnt matter because he was their daddy where it mattered,being biological does not make you a father"...I know that ,but if u have pictures with a hereditary rare disease...what else proof do you need that he was telling the truth? Thats my opinon...if I am going to believe Michael and stand behind him on everything else ,why would I call him a liar here? I'll be watching this thread so please commenters do'nt pull punches on the poster. I have seen possibly 5 posts having to do with nothing but Michael in all his physical splendor...nothing to do with the hoax so nobody can use that arfgument here...just sayin before it gets said. ;)

If he isn't Michael's biological son.. then it's a pretty big coincidence...

[Freeze Frame]

I'd be pretty angry if my aunt revealed publicly a personal health issue.

ok. so, i know i'm probably gonna get some flack for saying this.
i've been thinking it for a while now.
I remember on LKL, Arnie Klein was on. And Larry was asking him if he donated sperm to Michael. And Arnie kept avoiding it. He refused to answer that particular question.

I recently saw a Paparazzi pic of Prince. And I just have to say that I feel he resembles Arnie Klein a LOT.
Behold:




the eyes is what gets me.
i feel they have the same eyes.
am i crazy? a lunatic?
or does anyone else see the resemblance?

I dont know why he would have denied it because just days after june 25th he was sayin he was the father-of course he has said alot of mess. On the other forum someone posted a pic of MJs grandfather and the resemblence was uncanny! It was amazing and the eyes are MJs-as Chance said...pretty big coincidence they both have vitiligo if he was not the father.

The fact that he has vitiligo isn't a set fact. It's just LaToya telling everyone it is. And tbh, sometimes I really don't trust a lot of what she says.

Unless I see pictures of the vitligo, i'm not buying it ;l

Exactly! Someone commented that it was a rare disease-it is not rare, 1 in 200 people have it-some mild and some more severe. Also have we believed everything LaToya has told us? so far there have been so many stories about who saw Michael's body, when and various different stories of who told who of Michael's death from her. Many choose to believe her when it suits and the things they like but the simple fact is that she is a liar, full of BS and the health of someone, especially a child is a private matter. Michael did not like to speak about his health and he stated as such that it is private. Also why is Prince out and about in bright sunlight if he has vitiligo? Michael suffered for years of abuse from the media before he admitted to having this disease and then he didn't go into detail as he said it is a private matter. He was a private person so why are you doing this?
    This should be of no consequence to us-I do not need proof of Michael being the biological father at all-if he is or is not does not make any difference and does not make him any less a Father or a man. A true gentleman is not one who can impregnate a woman-it is a person of honour, respect, non violent and love for his family which includes his children, biological or otherwise. We should not be discussing this at all-it is private and unless someone has DNA proof or was there at actual conception how the hell can they know? And why should we? Threads like this are no help in the hoax at all and only emphasises and stresses the fact Michael was firmly upset about and that is the invasion of his private life. Threads like this are no better than the tabloids you are all too keen to slam. He was and entertainer and we have no right to do this.

Very beautifully written.
I agree that whether or not Michael is the biological father or not doesn't matter. He raised them like a good father and a good man should. He gave them all the necessities in life and more. he made them happy. Those kids are so lucky to be able to call Michael "Dad". Father's these days need to take him as an example. My own included.

Also, you're right. I feel like LaToya is so full of it. She says things just for the heck of it. She doesn't think about how it'll affect others. IF Prince has vitiligo, than she should be a good aunt and keep his health problems private and in the family. I don't think Michael approves of that. He was very private and kept things to himself. Why would the health of his children be any different?

[angelshadow]

I must say Latoya .. :? .. in addition what?
The prince does not believe this has .......... God is thank!

[neverlandprincess]

oK-AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE AND I DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE HAD TO SAY IT-YOU KNOW WHAT I AM NOT GONNA SAY IT AGAIN HERE IS WHERE I HAVE POSTED BEFORE ON THIS SUBJECT viewtopic.php?f=49&t=720&start=25#p11053 IF ANYBODY CARES. IT IS ALWAYS ASSUMED THAT THE WRONG THING IS BEING DONE HERE. Look Latoya is not the most reliable AS FAR AS WE KNOW. However there are other sources saying the same thing. Such as -pictures of his fingers arms and neck and the memorial. There is no argument unless we atart one.

Thankyou for your support. I have said this many times, even on the old forum and will continue to as long as people bring up these totally inappropiate posts and statements. Maybe some of you think you are on Michaels side doing this but invading his private life and discussing innocent children in this manner is only making people more aware of the question of their parentage-this should not be brought up at all by people who love and admire him-we should be above all that BS that the tabloids and LaToya like to keep in the public eye. Rise above it-keep your dignity and let Michael and his children keep theirs.

[Truth_Freedom]

SOURCE????? Please provide a source.

[SPAKKLE29FUL]

:o why are we doing this again it is mjs son so why should we worry if he has vitiligo or not ,i dont care if anyone agrees with me or not but i think the children should be left alone like this.it kindof reminds me of a tabloid sorry if i offened anyone but that is how i feel

[michaelsupporter]

If it is true that Prince truly has vitiligo it will only be a matter of time before the world sees it with their own eyes----the disorder is obvious and very difficult to conceal.

[neverlandprincess]

The poster of this thread meant no harm as I am tiredly saying again. I was hurt by the tabloid remarks. Michael spent time in the sun until his condition completly took away his safety to do so. It is a hereditary disease and though 1 in 200 have it...it was not that common in peoples minds until Michael,and THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE WHO THINK IT IS SOMETHING HE MADE UP! PEOPLE STILL SAY HE GOT HIS SKIN BLEACHED. That is tabloid like behavior. Just because people like me have always wanted to prove people like them wrong does not make us untrue fans. As I said I dont need the proof-Michael does not have to prove to me that he has a skin disorder or that he fathered his own children-even though he did go out on the limb and tell Bashir where PAris was conceived. I believe him and see no reason not to. This post and some like it are shots out to the haters but for some reason it draws members of Michaels own army to present their reasonings that this cannot be so. If it were any one else that had a child with the same disorder as themselves it would not be a question. Michael constantly was trying to rise above ignorance and tell the world he was not weird...one of the accusations that he was weird was how he got his children.
 Wether any one believes me or not I do defend the children and even though I have friends on here who absolutely do not think he is a biologiical father,I respect them because they don't try to prove that he is not...as everyone has said it does not matter right. It does matter to me though-that anytime anyone says anything celebratory about the kids..."oh look he has his daddys eyes"....or whatever they get attacked.
  The kids have already been exposed -they will be fodder for the vultures as they grow older...just like Dianas kids and Lisa Marie was. Sure I could stand back and say nothing while the likes of Klein plant seeds of trash in the already dillusioned publics mind,or I could say hey whats wrong with you do you not have a nose on your face? My entire growing up I defended Michael,I looked things up and I presented to haters...incidently those who wanted to think he was a twisted sicko still will-just like the ones who will not read Aphrodite Jones book.
  There was a thread yesterday that caught my eye and I was sadly disgusted with it-"is this proof that Michale was addicted to plastic surgery"...why was that here? There are posts every day about his looks...this was a painful thing for him and he hated it being discussed...the same people who wanted to be crucified on this post because some of us were simply saying "why can they not believe him"..were on that thread talkig about how many surgeries he probably really had.
  So yes I went to bed hurt. It hurts me that I put an awful lot into my writing and people dont hear what I am saying. It hurts me that ppl look at a post and dont see its intent. It hurts me that we say we dont argue and then we brow beat ppl with our opinions until they wear down and stop posting. It hurt that maybe what I said was compared to a tabloid when my intentions were to combat the tabloid mentality. It hurts me that he spent his whole life defending himself and it seems he has to do for his own as well.
 Here is me -Michael was not an addict,he was not in debt like they reported,he didnt have his skin bleached and he wasnt trying to look like Liz Taylor. He may have gotten with Debbie for the sole purpose of having kids but he really got with her. If we opened our minds and actualy read everything he ever said about it (yes even the rabbi tapes) we may learn how to really stand up for him and his children) The kids are his and they are beautiful...maybe just maybe Latoya said this because she herself was defending those points-the parentage and bleaching. I dont like her but she was with Michael every day during the trial...she was not getting money for that.
  Because this is turning into a war post for needless reasons "I am gonna lock it.
