Liberace and Michael Jackson: Scott Thorson’s sequin fetish

Scott Thorson first claimed that he’d slept with Michael Jackson back in 2004, telling The Enquirer,“I was standing only a few feet away from Michael when he motioned with his hand to come over to him and join him in bed. I climbed onto the bed. Our lovemaking session lasted about an hour.”

Jackson attorney Steve Cochran denied the report as “false trash.”

Now Thorson is telling The Sun that not only did he and Michael Jackson sleep together, they had an affair that lasted years, and even spent time together recovering with Liberace in Palm Springs after the threesome had a ménage à surgery:

“Our relationship went on for six or seven years,” Thorson says. “Michael was very generous, too. He treated me well. Liberace introduced me and Michael in the late 1970s. It was right around the time Thriller was coming out and Michael and I became lovers. Our relationship went on for six or seven years. Michael was very generous too. He treated me well. Liberace and I had both undergone plastic surgery around the same time Michael underwent a nose job because he didn’t think he was handsome. We all healed together at the Liberace compound in Palm Springs.”

Thorson also opens up about being released from prison and living “the dream” at the Bunny Ranch in Nevada, and how he was impressed with HBO’s Behind the Candelabra, which is based on Thorson’s memoir of the same name. “Matt Damon did a great job playing me,” he says, “and he did a great job in bed with Douglas, too.”
