Rev Al: Paris Jackson’s Memorial Speech Wasn’t Scripted
July 9th, 2009
The Rev. Al Sharpton has defended Paris Jackson’s speech at her father’s memorial on Tuesday (July 7), after numerous gossip websites claimed it was set up.
“That touched everyone,” he explained on CNN’s Larry King Live. “And I think you couldn’t script that. She’s not reading a prompter.
“This is a young lady — in fact, if you saw it, they had really said they wanted Janet Jackson to speak. And Janet kind of brought her forward. And she spoke from the heart about her father,” Sharpton added. “I think she’s worried [about] the whole world [understanding] how human Michael Jackson was.”
