I’m making this thread because honestly it’s getting tiring that ppl STILL claim that Michael bleached his skin and got extreme amounts of plastic surgery because he wanted to be white when that is not the case and there’s evidence to disprove that. So here we go
People say “well if he only got surgery on his nose and chin why did his face change so much” the answer is it actually didn’t. The changes only look drastic due to his change in skin color. He actually didn’t change his face as much as you think.
Even though vitiligo is widely known now, back then it wasn’t which made him very insecure about it causing him to wear long sleeve shirts and wear heavy makeup in an attempt to hide it
Michael first had surgery on his nose after he fell and broke it in 1979 while dancing. During the procedure to repair it, he wanted to make his nose more narrow after being insecure about its size due to his father’s ridicule for years about how big his nose was.
Michael dealt with vitiligo his whole life. His autopsy confirmed the skin disease and even revealed at 50 years old he still had spots of his original pigment on his face, chest and arms.
Vitiligo is sometimes genetic as shown with Michael’s paternal grandfather having it and his brother Jermaine revealing he was also diagnosed with it as well in his memoir. Michael even passed down vitiligo to his son prince.
Due to Michael’s lupus his nose could not heal properly, created sinus problems and even caused his nose to deteriorate.Because of this Michael had to undergo several reconstructive surgeries to fix his nose from the lupus damage sometimes even adding more width back to his nose
First things first:
What is vitiligo?
It’s a disease that causes loss of skin color and pigment in patches. The discolored areas usually get bigger with time. The condition can affect the skin on any part of the body.
Other people who have been affected by vitiligo, including supermodel Winnie Harlow, has said Michael was the first person besides themselves they saw that had it as well
His mother Katherine confirmed he underwent surgeries for his nose and got a dimple put in his chin only after being coerced by his surgeon to get one. Any other changes to his face was due to aging, loss of weight and complications of lupus.
Another misconception is that Michael underwent extensive amounts of plastic surgery because he wanted to be white. He did undergo plastic surgery just like most of Hollywood does but not because he didn’t like being black.
Unfortunately for Michael tho, he would later be diagnosed with lupus which is an autoimmune disorder that targets skin cells and tissue therefore making plastic surgery for people with lupus risky.

So let me get this straight there’s a society of magical black ppl and they use their magic to help white ppl and he then falls in love with the white woman he’s supposed to help the white dude get……..Kenya barris is involved in this somehow

The fact that Damon and Bonnie end up together in the book but the creators hated Kat so bad they wouldn’t make it happen even after the fans and cast asked for it
@asherw01fe
And the crazy part is they’ve gotten rid of affirmative action in college admissions so the issue is 100% him and they’re still claiming it’s an equality thing
Pls stop debating about whether his kids are biologically his or not. The whole family has told y’all they are and even if they aren’t, what does it matter to y’all.
