This is a very big victory for Michael and we are all very proud that he has been completely and totally vindicated in court, as we were certain he would be.

Liz Taylor was an amazing woman and screen legend. She was an incredible friend to my brother, at his side through some of his most difficult times and of course loved by his children and our family. She will live on in our hearts forever, my prayers go out to her family.

The end of the trial and the 'not guilty' verdicts on all counts, clearing Michael of all charges, mean that he can now concentrate on the future and his art.

I am pleased to tell you that he is finally getting some rest and is regaining his appetite as well.

Black people were very angry with me for writing the book. A lot of people didn't believe me, or didn't want to believe me, and that used to really bother me. It was a very painful and difficult time.

I can count the number of dates I've had on one hand. I wish that guys would approach me, but they don't.

I can't say it's not painful being estranged from most of my family. I wish it could be otherwise.
