Prior to his marriage to Lisa Marie, Michael faced child sexual abuse allegations and rumors that continued to follow him for years. Amid these claims, strange interviews began to surface—in particular, a 2003 documentary by Martin Bashir called Living with Michael Jackson.

Lisa Marie: I didn't see the Michael I knew in that Martin Bashir interview. He was high as a kite from what I saw.

Oprah: He said some pretty shocking things in that interview. Particularly about how he felt it was okay to sleep with young children.

Lisa Marie: I think he said stuff sometimes to be defiant. He got so angry at having been accused. I think that sometimes he was such a little stubborn rebel and, like a child, he would just say what he felt everyone didn't want him to say.

Oprah: So you never saw anything, and to this day, you don't believe that any of those [molestation] charges were true.

Lisa Marie: No. ... I was never in that room. I can tell you I never saw anything like that.
