Ian Halperin, the unauthorized biographer that shocked the world in 2008 by announcing that the King of Pop was in very poor condition and had only half a year to live, is gearing up to shock the world once more by publishing an explosive tell-all. “Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson” will deal with Michael’s secret orientation, the true father of his children, and basically everything that went on behind closed doors, X17 Online informs.

According to the paparazzi agency, which reportedly got to see a copy of the book, set to drop in the US later this month, it has Halperin making a couple of very serious claims about the late star. For starters, he says Michael could not have fathered any of his three children because he was more interested in men. As a matter of fact, the investigative journalist says he has it from a very reliable source that Jackson had been involved in a very serious, long relationship at the time of death.

Sources tell Halperin that Michael would meet with his partner at various hotels, where the singer would go masked and dressed up as a woman. The disguise was both meant to protect him from the eyes of the media and guard him against the indiscretion of people from his entourage, the writer claims. Given this, he could not have possibly fathered the three children he called his own, at least not naturally. This, in turn, means that the three-year marriage to Debbie Rowe was nothing but a PR stunt meant to clear his image in the media, set up by his management.

Halperin also says that Michael Jackson was completely innocent of the many child abuse charges and allegations brought against him throughout the years – for the same reason stated above. The media scandal and subsequent backlash that virtually did away with his career in the spotlight (fans who continued to support him and buy his music are not taken into account here) were a ploy members of his staff came up with as they were trying to extort money from him. As Halperin puts it, the scheme turned out to work just wonderfully because the media and parts of the public wanted to find some form of explanation for his often “bizarre” behavior.

Over the weekend, we were also telling you that another claim that Halperin makes in the upcoming tell-all is that the King of Pop had no less than 200 unreleased songs when he died. One of them was written as a direct attack to Joe Jackson, Michael’s father and also the man believed to be responsible for many traumas the singer suffered as a child – and that would eventually force him to a life of isolation and silent suffering.
