Michael Jackson’s son is opening up about the real reason why his famous dad used to cover his kids’ faces when out and about in the public eye.

The King of Pop passed away tragically 15 years ago and left behind a huge legacy.

While he’s always going to be remembered for his incredible talent including music and performances, other actions of the star are still talked about.

Amongst those included the real reason why he always chose to cover his kids’ faces when going outside.

His son is not recalling all of his dad’s past and habits and raising the curtain on details that fans have been curious about for so long.

One element of his parenting that would usually make headlines and get reported in newspapers was the fact he would hide children’s faces using masks and blankets when they were young.

 

‘He told us that he wished we could have their own lives without him. He did not want them to be just ‘Jackson’s kids’ but have their unique personality and identity’- he continued.

For that, he’s going to be forever grateful and all of his siblings feel the same way. As far as abuse is concerned, he said the media likes to make up stories but that was far from the truth about his dad.
