Michael Jackson was a very good father, though “he was a child himself,” writes friend Carrie Fisher on her website. His kids “are very well behaved, respectful children, who seemed content in Michael’s company.” And though he may not have been a “conventional” parent, the actress/author writes, “you could see how much he loved them and how much they loved him.”

Rather than relying on nannies, Jackson “was devoted to his family and doted on them.” Fisher says she believes he never “did anything untoward to not only his children, but to any other child,” and she scoffs at claims Jackson is not their father. “I realize these children don’t resemble him mightily, but there must be some other explanation other than someone else fathered these children.” (More Michael Jackson stories.)
