He was accused of bleaching his skin in an attempt to âlook whiteâ.When the slanderous attacks became intolerable, in 1993, Michael Jackson revealed, during an Oprah show, that he had a skin disease that turned his skin white.

Many doubt that he actually had this condition, but rather he was whitening his skin all along. As the melanin disappears, the affected area of skin turns white.
