Stephanie Mills: Michael Jackson's Secret Love
Vložit
- čas přidán 26. 09. 2010
- Stephanie Mills recently stopped by Radio One/Philadelphia to meet and greet listeners of 107.9 WRNB and Praise 103.9, and talk about her directorial debut in the play "The Gate Called Straight." Mills answered questions about her career as an R&B singer and a Broadway actress, and the attendees were audibly surprised when she revealed that she and Michael Jackson had a longterm relationship back in the day. Mills also discussed the side of him we didn't see, as well as Michael's Muslim faith in this very candid conversation. Find more at RNBPhilly.com!
She's not lying, Michael even said it in his book "Moonwalker'' that he was datng her back in the late 70's when he was living on Sutton place in Manhattan with his sister when he was filming The Wiz and Stephanie was on Broadway!
Michael dated Stephanie Mills, Whitney Houston, Naomi Campbell and Diana Ross was the love of his life. He wrote Liberian girl and had a book in his library called "In praise of black beauty". People who accuse Michael of racism or not liking is own kind are being ridiculous. Much loved EVERYBODY.. he loved souls.. not the exterior. But he was a proud black man and at his heart, a universal being.
If he loved black women he would have married or had children with one!
@Ana Maria I can't be quiet im typing🙄
@Ana Maria Who? tell us Mrs I tooo know I'm waiting
Love Is The Answer 🎶 he dated whitney but not Naomi
@Ana Maria Who is she? I'm curious
Stephanie was very loyal to Michael. Bless her heart.
yes that is what i thought too very impressed by her xoox
I love her recent post on twitter of how he took her on a date and was such a gentleman ❤️
I really respect the way Stephanie Mills handled the questions about her dating Michael in this interview, because she didn't go into details on the personal stuff. Very Good interview!
“i DATED Michael Jackson” ahahaha I love the way she said that 🤣
She's the only realist person in mjs life
Dani Carven uh no lol. Elizabeth Taylor was...
@@erinmorgan5115 Are you single, Baby? 😉❤️
King Alpha 😂🤣
@@erinmorgan5115 No, Elizabeth wasn't. She turned her back on Michael for not coming to her birthday party; and never spoke to him again. That's night being loyal. But, see you and I could set an example of what true love should be. Erin, how bout it?
Karen Faye? Cascio Family? Macauley Culkin? Janet? There are others 👍🏼 ❤️
So well-spoken, and she was very honest too. What a wonderful human beings...
She is beautiful and she in he 50's? She seems smart, sweet, and strong as well. I think Michael's life would have been happier having a woman like her by his side.
he should have married her...she is an amazing women and she would have had his back from day one...she had so much dignity not talking about them dating and she seemed to not say to much personal stuff they shared...he was blessed to have her shes beautiful
At the time he was married to his craft
I read he DIDN'T like her looks
Omg she's looks so young
Dani Carven Stephanie Mills is 60 years old now.
@@carolynhowell9768 she turns 62 on March 22nd.
She do look young and is still beautiful. Love you Stephanie Mills 💘
Stephanie Mills had a beautiful and angelic singing voice. I can see why Michael would be into her. You hear the spirit of God in both of their voices.
Kory Green He should have been into her for her voice!!! Ioooovvvvveeee her voice!!
How in the hell can you hear a spirit? LMAO!!!
King Alpha You can hear spirits.
Stephanie and Michael’s voices are angelic. They should have recorded together.
@@timeless9781 How do you know what angels sound like? I'll wait.⏳
See! I’m glad she said what she said the world was not ready for Michael Jackson and the love he wanted to give.
Some of us sas really really ready and be graetful
Much respect to Michael Jackson! I didn't know that he had that kind of game. Stephanie Mills used to have me and my boys drooling back in the day. Go ahead Michael!
I love their reaction to her saying she dated MJ. I must say in my opinion the reason they didn't work out is because Michael was in love with Diana Ross and wanted to marry her. So in terms he broke Stephanie's heart, ironically Diana would later break his heart when she married her second husband. Funny how things work out.
Yep!
Blame to the stupid society, not Diana Ross.
Right! He had fallen deeply in love with Diana.
You do know that your opinion doesn't mean shit? Do you know that right?
That’s true Stephanie loved him, yet he loved Diana. But, is he at fault? Is Stephanie at fault? No one is at fault. Stephanie certainly proved herself to be his best and most faithful companion. However, the heart wants what it wants.
Stephanie Mills has always been fine as hell. Mike unknowingly sold his soul for higher fame and success, something most of his supporters don't talk about. I understand that moreso now than I did when I was younger.
He never sold his beautiful soul..that's why showbiz/media is trying destroy him and his legacy all his life and aft. his death. Thats the bottom line from what Stephanie is talking about..But could say that if he did not record those songs did not entertain for the world ppl never ever knew what is pop music. Cuz of his tortured soul and body his only self healing was music and sharing love. There r ppl who thx it to Joe. Joe destroyed MJ and made an icon but MJ always stayed on ground and spread his love . He never sold His amazing soul!
@@fujisamasensei7314 Period!! The last thing Mike did was sell his soul. He kept his pure soul!
Did that woman seriously ask "so he was a real person?"
Seriously? No he was imaginary.
LOL
Stephanie told it as far as the crazy music biz and how black entertainers are forever treated. Especially in the case with Michael Jackson.
Redd Blitz yeah it's horrible how he was treated....
This woman should be in the dictionary right by class.
yup!
My thoughts exactly.
Class is her middle name!!
As for his faith, he was very spiritual but didn't follow any one religion, but took the best from all of them. here's Michael's own words:
“I don`t consider myself religious in the sense of subscribing to a particular dogma. I would consider myself spiritual-in that I believe there is a domain of awareness in which we can experience our universality. I read all kinds of religious literature, because I believe there is truth in all of them.”
globalcitizenn Michael believed in God.
Lady J Spiritual ppl believe in God.. but not the exclusive Christian “God”.. but a universal “higher power such as a source” in Michael’s own words. Like God, Allah etc is all different names for the same higher power.
@@globalcitizenn thank for this
🙏
Rodney Jerkins said in an interview that Michael Jackson accepted Christ as saviour while in a studio with Andrae Crouch, a few weeks before his passing. You can look it up.
Oh,Stephanie ...Not sure who told you that, but you are always #1 to your fans. Remember that, and forget the nasty comments. You are loved, adored, and always in the hearts of your fans.
She's so petite. They were perfect for each other.
You tell them Ms.Mills 👏🏽💯❤😊
I wish Stephanie and Michael did get married and have children. Can you imagine the talent? I also believe they would have been good for each other.
Everyone used to say "She's Out of My Life" was about Tatum O'Neil. But, since Michael started recording "Off The Wall" around the same time Stephanie started dating, then married Jeffrey Daniel, I would say it was about her. She said she wanted to get married, but he didn't. So she got with Jeffrey, who reminds me of Michael at that time (skinny, afro, tall, can dance).
TheLanard Michael did not write she's out if my life, at all. Tom Balher did for karen Carpenter..
.But he seemed to like Steph a lot,and was very comfortable, and content around her.
I think if Diana had not been there, ( JMO) that he would have chosen Stephanie, Because He always looked very happy and relaxed with her
TheLanard no, shes out of my life was written ans produced by someone and not MJ. The writer of the song dedicated it to his wife who recently got divorce at that time. Thats what Quincy Jones said.
Interesting twist though as Jeffrey Daniel taught MJ to moonwalk.
I love Michael Jackson. What a man! Yes please! ❤️
we don't know MJ's life like saying "no, she didn't see him in his last days" or "yes she did"
I'm tired of saying that because you don't see it in the news or in the paparazzi pictures it means that is not happening. Or fans that don't believe he was dating someone because they didn't saw him holding hands with a girl.
He was a private person, so We don't have to know everything in MJ's love life, period.
the best way to really understand MJ is the moonwalker book. it really displays who is inside. he mentions stephanie.. so for people that believe it was fake.. it was not. like she said he didnt kiss an tell. he mentions that in the book. that he had been involve with women that were not famous and did not want to put them out there. that is for people who dont believe he was not involved with theresa gonsalves as well....
I know that Mike regretted not marrying her early on, but that's what happens when you're young. Plus Diana was his cat's meow, so, there you go...
You speak the truth Stephanie! BTW, to me you are a legend, the greatest of all and always will be. You are so underappreciated.
That same loyalty that Stephanie had towards Michael, existed with those loyal to Prince.
A wonderful woman ♥️✨🌳🦋 I wish Michael had said yes to Stephanie Mills. I like her very much ✨ 🌳 🦋 💕
I love Steph!
I dont think she was in contact with him during his last few days. If she was, we would have been hearing a lot about her. but anyway, thats great that he dated her. I love what she said about him. but what I didnt like was when she said 'he was misunderstood.' his fans understood him. and we always will. ~ thanks for posting.
Aw ! 💕 Stephanie Mills So lovely ..Xxx
Also Diana Ross was in the picture back then.. Rumors say She could have had something to do with breaking them up
She did... Steph found out that it was Di who was the love of his life, and that like the other women found out, he cared about them all, but Di was the LOHL...
it had to do with the Movie "The Wiz". Stephanie was interested in the Part of "Dorothy" since she played the part on Broadway...It was Suzanne De passe that asked Stephanie IF she would be interested in the Part again for a movie. Berry Gordy some how let Diana Ross convince him to let her have the part, When EVERYONE said Diana was Too OLD forthe part Berry relented and gave it to Diana Ross. Diana only wanted Michael when he was showing interest in another woman, she would ignore him when no woman was around.
Cilla C Yes, she was a Narcissist who treated him like supply
@@globalcitizenn ikr like that explains in his songs I’m so blue , dirty Diana , who is it , leave me alone and dangerous
Stephanie is on point with why he protested--- the only thing she mixed up was they treated him wrong when his albums started not to sell. In actuality, he was making money on the side without envolving them on a cut--they found out because Michaels lawyer was secretly representing them, and they canceled all the promotions on the album-thus resulting in the album not selling like it should.
OMG I love this woman for that what she said... Thanks for that....
Thank u for this post.
I wanted to date Michael too, Stephanie. He was my first love too. I wanted to hug him so bad, but that never happened.
Deep Steph, real deep.
So true.
Informative interview!! Didn't know.....
C'mon, the genteel ladies didn't have any comeback! I woulda been like: "Well, did Michael put in the 'work' "?
AMEN,AMEN,AMEN,!!!!! I AGREE with the comment beneath me,I WISH I COLD'VE HAD HIM
Wow, I never knew that she dated Michael Jackson. Very interesting.
Mike The Millionaire I've been a fan of the Jackson's and Michael for 35 plus years and I can tell you the higher up Michael got the more certain powers in the music industry wanted to control him an they couldn't have him dating a black woman but Michael loved black women. Black isn't considered beautiful in America where they promote white is right. Take a look at history. Some people may get mad at what I said but truth always will be right.
Oh, trust me. I am very familiar with how the industry operates. I believe that he loved the sistas too. But the higher ups make you follow their script.
MikeThe Millionaire, she went on to marrying Jeffery Daniels of Shalamar in 1980. I believed she married him on the rebound and trying to get over Michael Jackson. There was a lot of pressure from their father Joe,concerning dating or marrying darker skinned. Their dad was against that,but Mrs. Rebbie Jackson married a darker skinned man and ignore what her father said years ago.
She dated him back around the time when she was doing the Broadway version of The Wiz and Michael was working on the film version. Google “Stephanie Mills and Michael Jackson” and check out the images of them together all hugged up. Unfortunately for Stephanie, Diana caught Michael’s eye when they worked together on The Wiz and it was all she wrote for Stephanie.
Milessa it’s a pity Michael didn’t insist on Stephanie doing the film also, instead of being ousted!
To them but you mean everything to us!
I am from Russia. I don't understand spoken language. Please, somebody write a rough text in comments. What was she talking about? Very interesting.
@NATTURNER2010 Exactly! Black women age beautifully.
I really liked this.
" she out of my life was not about Tatum Oneil it was a song written for MJ by Tom Bahler for a Rhonda River who he broke up with.
+MJS HEART Michael often said when he sings a song he incorporates himself in the song. MJ didn't right You are Not Alone but he had a person in mind when he sang the song. MJ even said in his autobiographical book that "I got so wrapped up in "She's Out of My Life." In this case the story is TRUE--I cried at the end of a take." MJ So it doesn't matter who wrote the song, MJ has to feel it in his own life. As he said as a child "I don't sing it if I don't mean it." This is how MJ is separated from other artist. To give the emotion of the song, no matter who writes it, he has to feel it.
true but not my point I am so sick people thinking he wrote a song for someone. when he in fact did not. he does like most singer buy song from song writers. then crazy people go rewrite history to make it seams it was all about them when it never was.
A lot of songs he did write (most of those MICHAEL said were for Diana Ross).....Michael HIMSELF said ' I dont' sing it if I don't mean it...' and he also said when asked who he wrote all his beautiful love songs for
" I write these songs to and for the most important woman in my life"
Everyone knows that's what he called Di for year...
There were even some articles titled;
MJ says Diana, is "the most important woman in his life"
Most of his songs were about her and he admitted that...
MJ..to Ebony Mag 82
."Diana and I sing in spirit, we're always together! "
MJ... "I've written lots of songs for Diana..and we sing together alot..
Our relationship goes on forever...
And BTW media... u mentioned YANA. It sounds like u think it was for Lisa. No., it wasn't. Michael told R Kelly to write it for a ((PAST LOVE!!)) so she could STILL feel his love, and know he would always love her....
That's why he used desert scenes.
They were code to Diana. The desert = the two of them in love, and peace., They both loved the desert, and used it as a symbol of love/peace to each other..
That's why he used it in Muscles, ITC, RTT, ads etc...
And that's why he made sure LMP was not in ANY desert scenes...
He' was talking about (Diana) as usual!
That's why he said:
"You never said goodbye, someone tell me why!"
Which matches:
" Do u Remember when it all began, it just seemed like heaven so why did it end??"
Which also matches:
"And she didn't leave a letter, she just up and went away!"
And also matches:
And Whhhyyyy all my dreams are broken/don't know where we're goin.
How can I stop losing you??
Which matches
I played the fool for you, I broke the rules for you, and still u said goodbye!
He was talking to Ross, as usual... Remem' Mike said:
(( Diana and I always communicate through music, We are always together, even when we're apart! And she knows I'll always Love her..))
that's why she re_ recorded YANA and sang it back to him at his tribute, Because she knew all along, he was talking to her...
TC Design finally the truth.
Michael always said he "didn't sing it if he didn't mean it." With She's Out of My Life, it was not written by MJ but he said he got wrapped up in that song because it was REAL and he said he started crying after each take.
Besides Stephnie always been pretty, she just enhanced her looks just as 99.9% of people in Hollywood do, so they can be more sucessful in life. You know Hollywood, they want you to be perfect.
Wow!
I like her but she's a bit misinformed about MJ. I don't believe MJ realized later on he was just another Brotha to WASPs, I think he knew this early on which he has demonstrated on his vids & why he was raised to be very mindful of his image in WASP America. & MJ's last album didn't sell as well bec of 3 factors: the sabotage by Sony, the media lynching of his image & reputation, and the changing face of the music industry.
wow never herd of her /she nice
Micheal had a lot of secrets.this is nothing new.
IM TIRED OF people SAYING SHE'S LYING ... !!!... why would she be making up a STORY TO EVERYONE .... that picture did not look like a friendly picture ...
i wish i had him THOUGH
She looks so young, I'm having a hard time believing she was dating age in the 70s lol. Whats her secret?
Linny Crocus Today Stephanie Mills is 59 or 60 yrs young
Why y'all arguing over other people's supposed relationships, tho?
@nenabunena Even with a 10M album sales & additional 4M since his deat, no one within the decade of 00-09 could meet those sales & Invincible was aback in 2001, it had 8 years for anyone to top those album sales, no one ever did despite the sabotage Sony was gunning against it at the time.
0:23 Wait a minute, she said back in the 70's and 80's, I thought she dated him only in the 70's, huh?
@SoulPowerful smh look at the 70's picture ... she is not lying.. michael himself said he had to hide who he dated
right on stephanie.
This is definitely not made up. She said the same thing in an interview with Ebony Magazine back in the late 70s/early 80s. She and MJ dated from 1976-1977 or so.
@farfalla8888 she a singer she was in the NEW YORK AND STAGE PLAY THE "THE WIZ" ( she played Dorothy)
LOOK HER UP ON YT......
on of her song is power of love.,
feel the fire.. with Teddy pendgress....
LMAO at everyones reaction when she says "I dated Michael Jackson"... man, this must be a fun thing to go around telling people.
OMG
@fresh77896
I know, but it annoys me when people act like he was SO different. Yes he was different partly because he HAD to be. His success prevented him for living like any typical person and it's a shame that he had to pass away for many people to see that. At the end of the day, though, he was just any normal man, despite his talents, he wasn't some mystical being that no one can relate to.
Thanks Stephanie mills ,i wish he married you, he would not been so lonely, but he was too young and hos career went to stratosphere where he cant have girls bec of the people around him protecting his career and leeching on him
@fresh77896
I know what she meant. She was saying "is he just like everybody else?" It seemed kind of tacky to me to assume he wasn't just an ordinary person.
She played "Dorothy" from The Wiz ...ok, Michael played the scarecrow....I see it ...wow...
1998 LISA MARIE Interview part 6 "Im so scared of my father. I found a stash of child porn in its room. My father is a serial child molestor! a child predator. It abused me when i was i think 6 years old. I didn't know how to defend myself. I am a victim."
Michael Jackson Dance God What interview when did she say this??
@MrsMag15 what MAKES YOU THINK stephanie wants money and attention ?? she just revealed it ... are you in their private life or no ??i dont think so ...
why makes you think it was fake... michael never revealed who he was dating at all
@MrsMag15 .... im not saying you dont believe black people in general ...im just saying in mj's situation ... stephanie kept it in secret these 30 something years... stephanie could have came out a long time ago and sould have said" i DATED mj " and sold it to a tabloid magazine .. like some woman *ahem * rushka and tatiana etc.
.....you dont know what your talking about
Stephanie Mills, my favorite female singer of all times. Wish I could date your lil fine self............
🙌🏾
Man to say you dated MichaelJackson is crazy! I would ...goodness I can't even say.
@fresh77896
I know what you mean. I always said he had superhuman abilities. I have a hierarchy of God, Jesus, and Michael Jackson, with the gap between him and Jesus being a little small. LOL But seriously though I know he wasn't ordinary, nobody on this Earth could possess the talent he had nor the consideration for others and his outlook on life all combined into one person. What I meant was that he wasn't just so "strange" that he had to be set apart from everyone else like another species
1079WRNB was putting a rush on me aimed at MJ ?
Callum Brown that's a really good question!! I would not be surprised if it was...
I heard it was by a MJ fan
She goes to my school :) she has a son named forwad
They should of stayed together
save him from what? Give me a break.
I wonder if she was still in contact with MJ the last few years of his life. Unless I'm misinterpreting what she's saying, it seems like that was the case.
I do believe that Michael was close to Minister Farrakhan(sp.), but I don't think he converted to the Islamic faith.
Michael Jackson was too caught on Diana Ross, that's why he couldn't settle with Stephanie.
We could not think with His mind...As I knew Him I could say he was not a have and hold type of a man. He needed to B loved every minute cuz of his emotional hunger and he loved to fish:)).he loved the hunting to conquer of a woman. Diana Ross would have got the same attitude...thats why it was such a burning relationship with so much energy but thats why it doesnt work in any way. I think MJ knew that..he was in love with Diana but he was always in love:)..And NOT Diana was his greatest love
He wanted to B the greatest entertainer of all time he wanted to have career. I dont think that Diana Ross or anyone else could have changed his mind:)..that was his destiny. I know that MJ always wanted to marry someone and always was in love with someone and had a huge crush on Diana, whitney, and on some women U dont know (neither do I .) I just heard their stories from MJ) ..But as a cold headed man his career was in the first place. Knowing MJ he was growing up in showbiz he did learn how to B a businessman how to make a career make an image for yourself...
Hollywood really doesn't promote black celebrities to be together. Look at the music videos, the commercials, and movies. You rarely see a chocolate skinned woman with a black male celebrity. They don't portray top black male celebrities with dark skinned women.... Denzel Washington and Samuel L Jackson are the only ones, and that's because they married before the game. We don't even see black rappers with many dark skin women. They be with women like Cardi B and Halle Berry. Hollywood been racist and prejudice. They don't like promoting positive black couples. I've seen this since the 90's. The only one that's gets publicity is Lupita Nyongo and they don't idolize her like they Halle Berry.
@starlette098 the Muslim faith hun! yes that's right! after i heard Farahkhan speak ive seen enough!
all these comment 2012 yall late this is old new. yea they dated she didnt make it up. so keep it movin.
@iwantMJ1 I think you don't even want to understand me. second of all do overread these senteses like"maybe they were a couple"or "maybe they were so in love they wanted to marry"??? You just read what you want to read...
yes i know that pictures they are sitting next to each other on a sofa his arm over her shoulder does this mean they were closely married? I don't think so...And i haven't saying diana is lying read my comments! i've said" HE WAS IN LOVE WITH DIANA"
"Now about his Muslim faith...Tommy matola" what? Ya he was not a Muslim.
she never said he was Muslim she said he connected with Minister Louis Farrakhan. Jermaine Jackson said in an interview that Michael studied the Qur'an and shared the same beliefs but never converted.
@@ai5ha1 MJs religion dont matter...what matters is his works!
@@mariamfaour1378 no shit 🙄I no that. Tell me something I don't know.
@@ai5ha1 what u dont know is that he was actually a muslim a very long time ago Although he respected and loved all religions
@iwantMJ1 What makes you thik that i do'T know what I'm talking about?So maybe she tells now because he's dead now and ow he can't fight against it anymore.. why telling when he still can ight against it when you can tell and no one can proof you're wrong! so that could be the situation she's in but maybe they were a couple NO ONE KNOWS!YOU DON'T KNOW! so stop saying i don't knowwhat i'm talking about when you can'T be sure that you know what youre talking about!
I dont think they should have put on the video Muslim faith because that wasnt clear at all. To me when i watched the video I assumed that they were TALKING about a Muslim minister. Its cool to talk faiths to folks all the time anytime and Michael did that with a lot of people which is fine but I dont think he ever ACCEPTED the faith just because he talked to a muslim minister.Its ok to talk about beliefs to others. for all we know MJ tried to save him lol. and they could be just friends too
@iwantMJ1 thank you
I'm happy it finally ended you never wanted to even try to understand me smh
WRONG !!!!! she doesn't speak about muslim religion
@hupyt Go to La Cienega Just Smiles, Theresa has a lot of HOLES in her story though.
@The1foxycougar You sound like Karen Faye, jealous of every woman who got within a mil of MJ! LOL!
nenabunena Yeah, karen's a jealous liar
@iwantMJ1 okay somehow you are right;) Can be i just want you to understandd me! There are a lot of people who make money out of their stories!And he did! He said tatum he said brooke and he said that he was in love with diana but that that wasn'T for real he just wished they would be a couple so he talked about them!He didn't mention her! But maybe they were so in love that she wanted ro marry him but he didn't wish it would be true:)Wish for them!:D
@nenabunena umm what holes. we kno she knew him.. so i am not sure what kind of holes she would have.
all mj had to do to be happy would have been to drop his body and mind not see farrakan
@iwantMJ1 no it isn't hard to believe! but i just said that it could be that she just said that because she wants money or attention!;) i did not want to fight against her or you! but michael said by himself that he never had a real relationship just some like tate or so... so if they were ready to marry i think he would have mantioned her:) but i don't know maybe it was the love oif his life:) but i don't really think so:))
@MrsMag15 lmaoo please use your spaces .. but what makes stephanie lying ??? .... why because its hard to beleive a black girl is loved by mj ?? what ?? ..
sure he loved lmp , debbie rowe ?? hhmmm
@iwantMJ1 You know,i don't understand what you're problem is...That i do think about both sides? That i don't kow her personly so i don't know what she would do and wouldn't and so I say that it could be that she's lying? Tell me please because i don't understand if you hve a problem with looking at both sides of a story or with white people?
