#OnThisDay February 21, 1991. #MichaelJackson attended record entrepreneur David Geffen's birthday party. Geffen has a star-studded 48th birthday party at Sandy Gallin’s ( Michael's manager ) beach house in Los Angeles, California. However despite all the effort some traces of it still remain and these traces explain to us that Michael Jackson hated David Geffen because a closely-knit group of people in Hollywood headed by Geffen had sunk his career, and Michael was perfectly aware of it.
“… Jackson reportedly hates Geffen for being a part of what he calls Hollywood’s “Gay Mafia,” which he believes sank his career.”
Hollywood Gay Mafia? And this was said by Michael Jackson? The focus in this statement shouldn’t of course be on the word ‘gay’ as Michael never had anything against gays and was life-long friends with many of them, like Arnold Klein, for example.
The focus in this statement should be on the word ‘mafia’ because this is how Michael perceived the closely-knit group of extremely powerful people in Hollywood who are relentless in pursuing their goals and are not above destroying other people’s careers, reputation and even lives.
Specifically, Michael pointed at David Geffen and his Hollywood friends, many of whom were non-gays but were very close to him and shared his ways and means.
