It was no secret that Jackson was obsessed with E.T. and, according to the source, it was just one of his many early obsessions.

However, according to the source, it was Michael's "perverse" obsessions that ultimately caused his reputation to be tarnished! "When Michael was growing, up he was shamed for having sexual desires or thoughts. He was punished if we was ever caught looking at women," said the source.
"Michael's parents were Jehovah's witnesses, and did not like when Michael would act androgynous," the Jackson family insider told Radar. "Michael never felt so comfortable as when he was wearing a sequin getup. And makeup! He loved wearing makeup from a very early age."

Perhaps one of Michael Jackson's most famous relics was his throne fit for a King of pop! But privately, he was more low-key. "Michael's demeanor catered to what his parents always wanted him to be — a soft spoken gentleman," said the source. "He tried to pretend, and alluded to the fact that he was very pure and even would call himself a 'virgin.'"

"When you see what the FBI found, it is clear that he was not living in reality," the insider added. "There is a lot of evidence now to suggest that he was sick." Jackson was cleared of any wrongdoing in his 2005 child molestation trial.
