Michael Jackson’s Son Reveals the Truth About His Father’s Unusual Behavior

It’s been 15 years since Michael Jackson’s death, yet many questions about this legendary figure remain. For instance, people have been curious about Jackson’s parenting methods, particularly his decision to hide his three children’s faces behind masks. Michael’s son, Prince, has finally revealed the reason behind this mystery.

Michael Jackson hid his children’s faces when they were little. The singer would put masks on them or cover them with fabric that allowed the children to see, but their faces were hidden from others. Back then, it seemed strange, but now, as many celebrities try to protect their children from paparazzi and safeguard their privacy, it all makes sense.

Here’s what Jackson’s son, Prince, had to say on the matter, “My dad spoke to me like an adult. He told us the reason for the masks was he wanted us to have our own life without him. I don’t think I ever thought about if other kids lived like that when I was younger. But once I knew who he was, I realized it wasn’t normal.”

Recalling a specific memory from a trip to Disneyland, Prince added: "I went to the window and there were all these fans waving and taking pictures of me. "I thought it was normal, so I just waved back.

Back in 2021, Jackson’s daughter — Paris — spoke to supermodel Naomi Campbell on her YouTube series No Filter, where she opened up about her father’s parenting style. Paris revealed that her dad always ensured his children “earned” their privilege.

Paris shared with Campbell that her father made sure they were well-rounded and educated, not just exposed to luxury and glamorous experiences like staying in five-star hotels. They were shown everything, including third-world countries, and saw the full range of life. Growing up, it was important to earn what they wanted. For instance, if they wanted five toys, they had to read five books first. It wasn’t about entitlement or thinking they deserved something without effort; it was about working hard and achieving something meaningful.
