Happy Birthday king!!! And the REAL reason MJ left the JW, and His group....

Happy Birthday to the king!!!

His brother ,gave an interview years ago and said that MJ was having trouble with the JW because they had a  problem with his {relationship_ and that's the word he used} with Diana. Being that she was a divorcee. Yes, he also butted heads about thriller everyone knows that, and that he used the disclaimer to get around it, but the REAL issue with them, definitely seems to be Diana. And she appears to be the reason he ended up leaving. (that was covered up_ and you have to research to find it, but you'll find that the JW were sending him mail and telling him to stay away from her, and using the word 'tainted' when describing her!  So this seems to be  the reason he left the J5 and went solo! Diana told him she found Solo artists much much sexier than lead singers! MJ left his group  practically that same week!!   You will find when you begin to study him that most of his actions revolved around her! She was the LOHL, and he made her central to everything.

He would get her advice before career moves, he would have her ok contracts and agreements, he would arrange his sched so he could see her as much as possible. She was his everything! MJ was madly in love with di since he was a young boy, and he had been dreaming of marrying her for years! If you read his mother's book, she talks about what a hard time she had keeping him away from Diana, and how he began calling her his girlfriend and later his wife! His mom said she just thought it was an innocent crush, but it grew stronger and stronger to the point, she realized he really was in love with Diana and she yanked him from her home  (Diana was mentoring him for Motown) She hoped that would stop it, but he told his mom, he would " get big" and come back and marry Diana, and no one could stop him!  He spent years attempting to so just that. Di was the LOVE OF HIS LIFE! and that's why he called her " THE ONE" and " the most important woman in my life"  He called her that so much many mags began to call her that! Yes, she was like a mother to him at one point in his life 12-15 but even then he was in love with her, later she was like a good friend/confidante but he was still in love with her, and began letting her know around this time..  later still they began to date. They had their first date when he was 17, and 2 yrs later she took his virginity.

Yes, he felt a lot of guilt (that's what he was talking about in superfly sister, and ICLHGA , when he said 'I tried so hard to love you, some things take time and SHAME' ... He was ashamed because they were not married but he could not resist her. he goes on to say ' I PLAYED THE FOOL FOR YOU, I BROKE THE RULES FOR YOU!  JUST SAY IT AND I'LL DO IT, _ JUST MAKE THIS DREAM COME TRUE!!!   The rule he talked about was the sex before marriage rule. He felt guilty but he broke it again and again... But this is probably why he began to pressure her so hard to marry him in the early 80s. The dream he was referring to, was to marry Diana in Switzerland. that' had been his dream for years. He was head over heels for her, but she was being harassed by the media ( who KNEW about their relationship and even knew their favorite hotels{ BHH Bev Hills Hotel}, and the {HRH Hard Rock Hotel} In fact, they went to he HRH so often (under assumed names) that the hotel dedicated and decorated a suite just to them! And called it the MJ/Di suite! This is how his mama found out they were together.. So at one point she WAS like a mother to him when he was a kid, later she was a confidante/friend and later she was his lover/love of his life. This is why in MW. he says " Diana Ross is my mother/sister/LOVER  all rolled together in one incredible person! She ticked all those boxes in his life, at different points but ultimately she was the love of his life and the one he fought for year  after year to marry. He said many times how much he wanted to marry her, and how much he loved her, but ppl were not comfortable with it, so they ignored him...

It's long been believed that the reason MJ left the JW's was the disagreements over his music.
And this was certainly a factor, but not the only one, or even the most significant one.
There was definitely tension between MJ and JW's  over Diana Ross ( his main squeeze)
Diana hinted about this in her Memoirs, and in the 80s, there were a few articles about this...
