An American journalist has savaged the late Michael Jackson in a highly controversial article published just a week after his death.
In the article, titled 'Shed No Tears For This Twisted Sicko', New York Post writer Linda Stasi pulls no punches as she attacks the King of Pop, who died on June 25.
She opens her opinion piece by writing: “You'd have thought by the media lovefest that the pope had died a tragic death after a lifetime of caring for lepers.”
Stasi continued that Jackson was a “drug-addled, creepy-beyond-words, accused pedophile who literally bought his children with the help of two brood mares and, apparently, his dermatologist.”
Describing Michael image as like “Phantom of the Opera” and his behaviour like a “depraved worm”, Stasi digs the knife in further by saying he was a “once-talented black man who turned himself into a white woman before turning himself into a monster.”
Relentless, the post continues to attack Jackson calling him a “freak” and expresses shock at Barack Obama saying kind words in his honour.
The article, which will cause outrage amongst Jackson's fans, ends “The king is dead, but I for one am not crying.”
