Jackée Harry is opening up about a deeply personal chapter of her life, revealing that she and Michael Jackson once shared a private romantic relationship.
The Emmy-winning actress made the revelation during a recent appearance on the Nick Cannon Podcast, where a free-flowing conversation unexpectedly turned toward Jackson’s personal life. Appearing alongside comedian Kym Whitley, Harry calmly stated that her connection with the late pop icon went beyond friendship.
According to Harry, the relationship was mutual, real, and physical. She offered the information without sensationalism, speaking matter-of-factly about a bond she says she has kept private for years. As clips from the podcast quickly circulated online, reactions ranged from surprise to skepticism, with fans debating whether the story reshapes their understanding of one of the most famously guarded figures in music history.
Beyond the romance, Harry also addressed long-standing misconceptions surrounding Jackson’s vitiligo, a skin condition he publicly acknowledged during his lifetime. She explained that the condition affected more than what audiences saw onstage or in photographs, reinforcing that the changes in his appearance were medical rather than cosmetic.
Harry then made a remark that immediately caught the room off guard. “Everything was true down there,” she said, delivering the line with a suggestive tone.
“What do you mean?” Bee pressed. “What they sayin’ about Mike down there? Tell us the tea about Mike’s ‘down there.’”
Harry initially hesitated, joking that she didn’t “want to be sued.” After a beat and some encouragement from the group, the Emmy-winning actress strongly implied she had firsthand knowledge of Jackson’s anatomy.
“It had a spot on it. That’s all I’m saying,” she said. “I don’t know if it’s a birthmark.”
Nick Cannon burst into laughter, quickly suggesting she was referring to Jackson’s vitiligo, an autoimmune condition that causes light patches on the skin.
“Girl, you are not talking about vitiligo on his dick!” Bee shouted, before cutting straight to the question on everyone’s mind: was Jackson good in bed?
Harry nodded and smiled, describing the late singer as a “nice cat,” then unexpectedly drawing a comparison to Cannon himself.
“It’s all the same with the lights out,” she said. “Look at Nick. He’s like Nick. Nick’s a thin, good-looking, handsome man, but I’ve heard tales! So, hey!”
What stood out most to listeners was Harry’s tone. Relaxed, respectful, and warm, she spoke about Jackson without bitterness or agenda. The absence of drama lent credibility to her account. Harry is not known for chasing tabloid attention, and her measured delivery resonated with fans who felt the story humanized Jackson rather than exploited his legacy.
The podcast moment quickly became one of its most talked-about segments, prompting renewed discussion about Jackson’s private life and the immense pressures he faced living under constant scrutiny. For some, Harry’s account revealed a softer, more intimate side of the global superstar. For others, it highlighted how little the public truly knew about him.
Outside of the Jackson conversation, Harry is clearly enjoying her current chapter. She recently appeared at events tied to Days of Our Lives’ 60th anniversary celebration and has continued to speak candidly about dating, joy, and independence. At a recent awards show, she joked that “legends get laid and not lonely,” adding that while she may be seeing someone, she’s not currently in love.
Harry has long embraced living openly and unapologetically, whether discussing dating younger men or reflecting fondly on past relationships. Her latest revelation adds a surprising new layer to conversations about Michael Jackson’s life while reaffirming something fans already know about her: Jackée Harry is still telling her truth, on her own terms.
