Michael Jackson gave an audiotaped interview with his friend Rabbi Shmuley Boteach several years ago. Last week, “Dateline” NBC aired the taped interviews in its entirety.

During the interview, Jackson discussed various topics including abuse by his father, racism, living his life in the spotlight and coping with the cruel media.

He also alleges pop star Madonna was jealous of him. Here’s an excerpt about his comments toward Madonna.

“Madonna laid down the law to me before we went out. ‘I am not going to Disneyland, okay? That’s out.’ I said ‘I didn’t ask you to go Disneyland.’ She said, ‘We are going to the restaurant and afterwards we are going to a strip bar.’ I am not going to a strip bar, where they cross dress. Guys who are, are girls. I said ‘I am not going to go there,’ and I think afterwards she wrote some mean things about me in the press and I said that she’s a nasty witch.”

When asked about celebrities who are jealous of him, Jackson said “They admire you and know you’re wonderful and great but just they’re jealous ’cause they wish they were in your place, wish they were in your shoes. And “M” is one of ‘em. Madonna. She’s not a nice, she hasn’t been kind. Absolutely. She’s a woman and I think that’s what bothers her. Women don’t scream for other women. men are too cool to scream for women and i get that. I get the fainting and the adulation and the notoriety but she doesn’t. She can’t get that.”

The full interview clips are posted below.
