Was that kid in junior high right?


I can't even remember what years I was in junior high school. But I remember the day this kid was pontificating about Michael Jackson. He claimed that Jackson's parents did something to delay the onset of puberty so his voice wouldn't change.

Now Jackson's doctor---the one who spent two years in prison for involuntary manslaughter in Jackson's death---claims that Joe Jackson had Michael chemically castrated when he was twelve.
"The fact that he [Michael] was chemically castrated to maintain his high-pitched voice is beyond words," Murray said in a video released by The Blast. Murray claimed Jackson was given hormone injections when he was 12 in a bid to cure his acne and stop his voice from deepening, an allegation the physician first outlined in his self-published book in 2016.
...
A French vascular surgeon made similar claims in 2011, even writing a book about it. Dr Alain Branchereau said Jackson was chemically castrated from the synthetic anti-male hormone drug Cyproterone. After researching the drug and observing photographs and specialists in the field, Branchereau found it prevents body hair and the larynx growing. It also affects the bones, which can lead to a slight frame and big chest.

From a 2011 article about Alain Branchereau:
"An important part of my theory is this voice's exceptional character, which covers three octaves. But I haven't found any grown men's voices that cover three octaves."
Branchereau admitted that he had not contacted Jackson's family or friends for his book, ", the secret of a voice," due out on March 9.
"We will never have proof," the doctor said. "Unless his entourage says something."
 I don't know. It's hard for me to believe that kid in junior high was right about anything.
