Stephanie Mills On Dating Michael (September 2007)
During a radio interview with Stephanie Mills, the Grammy Award-winning R&B and soul singer, talked about what it was like dating Michael:
DJ: Stephanie, I gotta ask you this question before we get into it real quick about your single...
SM: Ok.
DJ: Because I, I've heard this so many times and when I say it, people look at me like I'm crazy!
SM: Ok.
DJ: Is it or is it not true that many, many years ago, you and Michael Jackson used to go out?
SM: Yes, it's true.
DJ: I told ya'll! I told ya'll! People don't believe he ever had a black girlfriend!
SM: I was his only little chocolate drop!
DJ: See, see, see, I told ya'll there's nothing about Michael Jackson I don't know!
SM: But that was a long time ago when I was doing The Wiz and Andy Warhol took us out to dinner and did an interview. In fact, it's in Andy Warhol's book; and I was dating Michael back then. I thought I was going to marry Michael but, you know, I'm too, I'm too dark.
DJ: Did you? Wow, that would have been something! But, let me ask you this...
SM: Yes?
DJ: This is the question du jour, you know; it's just one that I HAVE to ask, Like, I feel kinda wierd asking it but, did you guys ever have sex?
SM: No, we never had sex. I never had sex with Michael.
DJ: Did you ever see it?
SM: See what? You know what I want to say...Michael is very much a man and he's very, he was very loving, very caring and all that but I've never, we never had sex and I never saw him... I only saw Michael with his underwear on and he looked very cute!
DJ: Wow! Was it a print?
SM: Oh God!
DJ: Wow, that was a long time ago!
SM: That was a long time ago.
DJ: Well you know what, you sure answered my questions I had about Michael Jackson!
SM: I used to do Michael's laundry, 'cause I used to spend the night over there and I used to do his laundry. And you know what, this is the first time I've ever told anybody that.
DJ: See, you know what...
SM: 'Cause he lived, he lived on Sutten Place and he was filming The Wiz movie and I used to go over and spend the night and I used to do his laundry.
DJ: Wow!
SM: And we would go down to the laundry together so Michael is not what they all; he's very real and he's very, and I've never spoke avout that but he's very just a regular kinda guy. We would do laundry together.
DJ: Well, I'm glad you decided to tell it here, exclusively...
SM: I don't know what happened after Billie Jean and that huge success, he changed into something else but, prior to that he was cool.
DJ: Have you spoken with Michael over the years or you just haven't had any contact?
SM: I'm very real with Michael you know, like we...he knows I'm truly a Black woman so I approach him in a whole other way.
DJ: Ok.
SM: You know, and, and...
DJ: And how many people have seen him in his drawes, I mean, really?
SM: I guess it's not that many. Maybe Brooke Shields, Tatum O'Neal...
DJ: Right, right.
SM: They've seen him.
DJ: I remember those but it just...
SM: But Michael is very cute in his little underwear!
DJ: Wow! Just answer me this...
SM: What?
DJ: Do you, do you think that um...do you think that Michael Jackson is guilty?
SM: No.
DJ: Ok, I don't either.
SM: No, I don't think he's guilty.
DJ: Alright, well Stephanie, you sure answered my questions about Michael Jackson and you guys' relationship.
Male DJ: I'm just so surprised, like he didn't even try to...
SM: Michael is a great kisser, I've kissed him!
Male DJ: Aw man, no physicality...?
SM: No, no we didn't have sex.
DJ: But you guys did like, tongue kiss and stuff?
SM: You guys are crazy!
DJ: I LOVE Michael Jackson, I'm dying to know!
SM: He is a great kisser!
DJ: Wow!
SM: And he's very, very affectionate!
Male DJ: Where'd he kiss you at?
SM: Where'd he kiss me at? Where do you think he kissed me?
BOTH DJs: WHOA!!!
DJ: Wow! Stephanie Mills, what an honor! I tell you...let me just move along 'cause we can stay on Michael all day!
SM: I'll just say that Michael is very much A MAN! That's what I'm trying to say.
DJ: Yeah! Hello! Well, listen, I tell you what, I love Mike, wish him the best and everything and wishing you the best 'cause you have this new single out...
SM: I do, Healing Time, and a new album that's in stores Aug. 3rd, Born For This.
But you know what, ya'll talk about Michael Jackson so much, one day I may just bring him by your station and he'll cream you guys!
DJ: Ohh!!
SM: I bet you wouldn't be like that if he was right there, sitting right there with you!
Male DJ: Oh yes we would.
DJ: Yeah, I would.
SM: You would?
DJ: Yeah, I probably would just freak out. I love Michael Jackson.

Everybody says that time is borrowed,
And hangin' down your head just ain't no good
And if your dares arise above tommorrow
Just give yourself a chance,
Fight the circumstance,
Rise and do it again
