#Repost @shanamangatal with @get_repost ・・・ Wow! 😭Here’s an inside story I’ve never really shared before- I was about 20 yrs. old here. My friend Lonnell (@3lwtv ), is also interviewed, as we waited for news on the condition of Michael Jackson. It was around 1990, in Santa Monica, and Michael had been rushed to the hospital with “chest pains”. Most don’t know this, but Bob Jones (VP at MJJ Productions-also in this video- R.I.P.), wrote about it in his book...this was a publicity stunt. We helped Bob and Michael pull it off. We were young and eager to help, so Bob asked us to think of something to do, that would make a good story for the press. MJ wanted his hospital stay to be BIG news.We decided to create a huge “Get Well” card for him. Bob loved the idea. At Bob’s suggestion, we went to MJ’s Star in Hollywood, and got hundreds of fans to sign the card.Bob tipped off the press to cover it. 😎Little did they know, Bob had given us money to buy all of the materials for the card, and told us exactly what to do!😆We (and MJ)were the top story on the LA news for a week, and in newspapers across the world. Michael was so happy and appreciative,he invited us to a charity dinner for the Boy Scouts, where he was guest of honor. He was perfectly healthy, by the way. 😁I didn’t really know Michael very well, at this early stage, but a few years later, out of the blue (after we had become friends), he called and thanked me for helping him with this and other “little projects”, as he said. Yes, there were a few other “projects” like this. 🙂He was very unpredictable, but that’s what kept me intrigued. This kind of stuff is what helped create our bond. He knew I was loyal and that he could trust me.That meant a lot to him. ❤️ #michaelandme #michaeljackson #mjfam #mjinnocent #mj #michaeljosephjackson #king #kingofpop #shanamangatal #shana #moonwalker #moonwalkers #leavingneverland #authorsofinsta #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity #bookstagram #books #santamonica #hollywood #losangeles #model #actor https://www.instagram.com/p/B16a74Ch6G1/?igshid=1qutwbm56wi98
