Shana
Mangatal, whose book is titled Michael and Me: The Untold Story of
Michael Jackson’s Secret Romance, first met the singer in 1988 and
claims they shared “20 years of different encounters and intimate phone
conversations”.
In the book she reveals Michael “loved women” and wasn’t “asexual”, reports Radar Online.
“The
book covers all of that from me meeting him as a fan and him flirting
with me at our very first meeting and from then on I was like, ‘OK,
there’s more to Michael that meets the eye, because he just flirted with
me.’”He’s not asexual! He’s not this man-child – he’s normal!”
She claims the reason their secret relationship ended was because he got married
“He
was very respectful of his marriages and that’s why it was sporadic,
“We became really close during the 1993 scandal and he married
Lisa Marie so that kind of cut things off a bit until the divorce.”
Despite the singer passing away seven years ago, Shana reveals she’s
only recently been able to look through the music icon’s pictures and
other memorabilia.
Shana kept diaries during their time together and said she now wants the public to know things about Michael that she saw.
