Until his death, Michael Jackson was plagued by the deeply sinister meaning of the song “Billie Jean” by Michael Jackson.

Billie Jean was influenced by some real and disturbing occurrences, but it’s safe to assume that most music listeners already know that Michael Jackson was not her boyfriend.

Following his departure from the Jackson 5 and the continuation of his solo career, Jackson recorded the song in 1982. Two Grammys and an American Music Award went to the singer for the track, which was on his sixth studio album Thriller.

 

Although I’m sure he appreciated the acknowledgement, Jackson likely could have done without Billie Jean, the lady he has admitted was influenced by those he and his brothers were “plagued with over the years” following their ascent to stardom.

There was no such thing as a real Billie Jean, according to Jackson’s 1988 autobiography Moonwalk. My brothers have been victimized by the female in the song more times than I can count. These females’ claims that they were carrying someone else’s child are completely puzzling to me.

 

The lyrics represent Jackson’s commentary on the song: “Billie Jean is not my lover / She’s just a girl who claims that I am the one / But the kid is not my son.”

Nevertheless, according to J. Randy Taraborrelli, Jackson’s biographer, in his 1991 book The Magic and the Madness, the singer had received letters from a woman claiming to be the father of her twins ten years earlier. This could explain why Jackson mentioned ladies claiming to be carrying his children.

Fans all over the world admired the King of Pop, and while some went above and beyond, it’s apparent that she wasn’t the only one.

 

Supposedly, one admirer who went by the name Billie Jean Jackson thought that Jackson had proposed to her and was the biological father of her children.

According to Billie Jean, “He loves me dearly.” However, she later claimed that the lyrics meant the exact reverse, suggesting that Jackson was her lover.

A court order prohibiting Billie Jean from having any contact with Michael Jackson was issued when her obsession with the musician reached an unhealthy level. Jackson had been discovered to have received her medical bills, and she had even instructed a bridal boutique to charge him for her dress.

In spite of her two years in prison for disobeying the court’s order, Billie Jean never stopped hoping that Jackson would visit her in prison and free her, telling him, “I miss you.”

Supposedly, the supporter persisted in harassing Jackson right up to his 2009 death.
