TATUM DEBUNKS JACKO

If Michael Jackson is telling the truth, Tatum O'Neal doesn't seem to know it. The 39-year-old actress, nicknamed "Tantrum" during her famously fiery eight-year marriage to John McEnroe, claims that Jacko's story about their early sexual encounter is a pack of lies. In his interview with former friend Martin Bashir, Jackson alleged that first girlfriend O'Neal tried to bed him at her father, actor Ryan O'Neal's house, before they were even in their teens. "She told me to go over and lie on the bed," Jackson said candidly in Living With Michael Jackson. "I lay on the bed and she slowly walked over and she touched the button on my shirt to open it." Jackson then recalled how he covered his face with his hands in horror and wouldn't let them down until she walked away. "She knew I was too shy for it," he added. "That's what happened. I was frightened, I was afraid." After the show was broadcast in the US, to an astonishing 27 million viewers, O'Neal quickly rubbished Jackson's claims. "He has a very vivid imagination," she told reporters. "His comments about our friendship were inaccurate. Michael did come over to my house when my father was home, but at 12-years-old, there was no way I was capable of being as mature or as sophisticated as he claimed I was." Meanwhile the Jackson effect is still snowballing. ABC is now said to be renegotiating with the show's British TV producers to rescreen Living With Michael Jackson.
