OK! Magazine disrespects MJ and fans with new cover!!!
- Rating: No Rating
The magazine has reportedly come under fire from advertisers and celebrities alike after paying $500,000 for the last known image taken of Jackson as paramedics continued CPR efforts on him inside an ambulance at his rented mansion in Holmby Hills on Thursday (6/25).
According to the NY Post, magazine staffers questioned the publisher’s decision to purchase the death image (that was already published by ETonline.com last week) and they wondered if it was even worth the impending firestorm of bad press that would surely follow.
But OK! editorial director Sarah Ivens defended the magazine’s decision to run the photo:
“It’s a photo that captures the surprise and the upset and the moment of this breaking news story. I hope the cover will provoke readers. It celebrated the man, but it also does expose that he was an eccentric character who lived a very controversial life.”

Comment by Holly-Would on July 2, 2009 at 8:34pm - How does a picture of dead man celebrate life??? And what does him laying lifeless have to do with him being eccentric or controversial??? Um wouldn't a pic of him holding blanket out the window be a much better example? Or his mugshot... Even leaked pics of his ding dong would have been a better example... RIP
