When asked whether he’d ever stepped in or said anything about it, Jones responded: "Oh, we talked about it all the time. But he'd come up with, 'Man, I promise you I have this disease,' and so forth, and 'I have a blister on my lungs,' and all that kind of b.s....You can't talk him out of it. Chemical peels and all that stuff."
Quincy said he never believed Michael had a disease and thought his transformation was "ridiculous." "I don't understand it. But he obviously didn't want to be black...You see his kids?" said Jones.
The producer said he can't attend Michael's memorial because he will be traveling abroad. "My condolences and love I've already sent to the family. But being there with 10 million people is not my idea of a tribute to somebody you were so close to—who's got a part of your soul," concluded the producer.
