What's the story between Lisa and Michael? Did they really love each other? Did she really trash him, or was she lied on by jealous ppl who thought he was better off with Debbie, or Diana ?
These are some of the questions I sought to answer when I started this post. I went to several sites and just listened to what ppl were saying to get a good open- 'mixed' view rather than a closed biased one.
I decided the most objective thing to do was to present the facts and let you guys determine what the truth is for yourselves... But first, I think we need to dispel some common beliefs, and misconceptions. To start with, The question of trashing him....
Did Lisa Marie trash MJ after the divorce?
The following video demonstrates some of the things Lisa was saying after the divorce, so you tell me if she was trashing him or not..

Rep. Did you worry that there could be any truth to what you were hearing? That he did it?
LMP. "Of course, I fucking worried about it!" "All I had was his word! How the hell do I know what happened!" There was only he and the kid in the room, I only know what he told me!"

“I was really naive,” Presley says. “Its like if you watch yourself talking with a blanket over your head and you pull it off, and go aaaggg! “I wouldn’t consider us friends.” They didn’t speak for four years, and Presley doesn’t seem surprised or saddened by the recent downpour of negative Jackson publicity..
LMP, LA Times – April 6th, 2003
It’s clear that she regards the marriage as a horrible mistake
Does she feel sorry for all the public ridicule?
“I did see the British program, and it does look like he was set up,” she responds. “But, no, I could
never feel sorry for Michael Jackson.”..
MSM chat- Apr 4, 2003
Do you hate him?
LMP: No, the opposite of love is not hate, it's indifferent. I'm indifferent...
Playboy 2003. Lisa discuss Michael
PLAYBOY: Did you and Michael discuss having kids?
PRESLEY: Yeah. [Laughs] I got out of that one. “I just don’t think it’s a good idea right now.” But I knew that’s what he wanted. And I knew Debbie Rowe was offering to do it for him while we were married, according to him. She was a nurse who had a crush on him and offered to have his babies.

Diane Sawyer: Though nothing Lisa Marie Presley would ever do to her mum would equal this...
DS..MICHAEL JACKSON?
LMP OH, GOD!!!...I Was hoping you'd forget...

Quotes from the interview which you can find on youtube.
She went on HS and laughed at MJ, calling him a weirdo, a freak, motherfucker etc. She went on David Letterman, and laughed, and made fun of him
Marilyn Manson - Manson And Presley Laugh At Jackson, April 2003
Manson And Presley Laugh At Jackson.
"I felt kind of bad when she came over. So I did a little puppet show with it (Jackson with no nose) and made her laugh.
"I said to her, 'Look, you can't get more punk rock than getting married to and/or f***ing a baby dangler. He's a baby dangler! At this point he's saying, 'F*** it, my nose has gone, I'm gonna dangle a baby.'"

LMP, The Mirror, July 10, 2003
“And I’m still in contact with Nicolas. We talk on the phone all the time. We’re friends – we’ve managed to work that one out. I can’t say that about everyone I’ve been with"
And she adds: “If I were to bump into Michael in the hotel lobby, I’d just say “Hi’… and then walk. We have no contact at all.”
-
When I ask her if she is surprised by what has happened to Michael in the intervening years – the money problems, the backlash following the baby-dangling incident, the Martin Bashir interview –
Lisa Marie sighs.“I will just say that at one point I did say: ‘This is like I’m on the Titanic and it’s sinking.’ And I wanted to help, because I could see certain things happening.
“But I said: ‘I’m either going to jump now, or I’m going to go down with you. So I’m going to get out.’ He said: ‘Am I sinking?’ I said: ‘Yeah.’ And then I walked. And he is sinking.
“I didn’t know how long it would take, I didn’t know when. I just knew there was going to be a karma situation. You can’t possibly conduct yourself a certain way and get away with it. I knew the karma police were coming. Do I feel guilt that I left him? On the contrary.” Her eyes flash and she shakes her head emphatically.
LMP, GQ Magazine, January, 2004
There was always an element of manipulation with him. It would be, “Come meet me here”. And I’d turn up and there’d be press everywhere. That happened a lot. To the point where I’d think it was going to be a charming dinner, just the 2 of us, then bam! Paparazzi all over us.
Looking back, do you see how much you were used?
I can see that the whole operation was in operation. There was a record coming out but I just shut that out at the time. It didn’t seem possible that a person would be so cynical.
Was any part of the marriage normal?
When he wasn’t working and we’d just hang out at the house it was fine. We’d go shopping and go to dinner, people would come over. Although that was only for the first six, seven months, then all that kind of dwindled away. It kind of went to hell in a handbasket....
Toledo Blade – September 28th, 2006 Finally, she can quickly work herself into an profanity-laced lather when asked about her ex-husband Jackson, especially the notorious kiss on the Video Music Awards in 1994, but she doesn’t whine. So get off her case.
“It’s one of those things like, I don’t like to say I have regrets but I definitely regret that time period,” she said in a telephone conference call with about a dozen journalists.
“And what are you going to (expletive) do, to be honest with you? You’re young, you’re stupid, and you’re blinded, and you do something really dumb, and you can’t ever live it down? How many people do that on their own and don’t necessarily get it advertised? I know that was kind of enormous, but I’m just saying it’s not something I’m proud of.”....
Clearly exasperated, she wrapped up the answer with a question and a blunt demand.
“What am I supposed to say at this point? Get over it. It was a long time ago and I made a mistake!
Claire Magazine, 2008
"My biggest mistake? Let's see," she begins quietly. "How can I word this? Um. Well. Leaving my first marriage, for the person that I left it for — that was probably the biggest mistake of my life."
"I was really naive at the time. I was in la-la land." She grimaces slightly, pushes some fallen hair from her forehead, then lets it all go.
2010. Lisa joked about Michael being a pedophile.
Jason Scott Lee and Carmen Llywellyn were talking to Lisa Marie Presley one night and they asked her ‘Come on tell us the truth, why did you really divorce Michael Jackson?' She said, ‘The reason I finally left him was that I didn't want him to be in the same room as my children!'

After his passing, the negative talking did not stop.
Oprah: “So to this day you believe none of those charges are true?”
Michael left Lisa because she refused to have children with him. The divorce had nothing to do with him being on 'drugs'
Michael told the Rabbi that lisa was offering 9 babies if he would take her back and that he told her no. He said his heart was closed and that Lisa was going to his family trying to get them to intervene on her behalf and get Michael to take her back. He said his heart was closed, and that he had NO Intentions of taking her back....
