Lisa Marie Presley has been talking to Rolling Stone about her short lived marriage to Michael Jackson, explaining why she married Jacko in the first place and describing the breakdown of their 19 month long marriage. On the motivation to marry: "I can't say what his intentions were, but I can tell you mine was that I absolutely fell in love with him and fell into this whole thing which I'm not proud of now."
As you'll recall the high profile relationship started well -- the couple kissed on stage at the 1994 MTV Video Music Awards and the following year they were interviewed together by US TV journalist Diane Sawyer. But by the 1995 MTV Awards, where Jacko performed, it was clear the marriage was becoming strained. She says Jacko would disappear for weeks on end, and then he upset her by claiming in an interview that her father had cosmetic surgery on his nose. "It just got really ugly at the end. I wanted a divorce, but Michael wouldn't talk to me”. Presley, who is promoting a new solo album, concluded: "I'm not into Michael-bashing at all. I know people want to know what that was about, and I'm trying to say it without making him a bad guy. It's hard to do, because it was such a bad situation."
