Soleil Moon Frye: I shared a hot tub with Michael Jackson
Soleil Moon Frye, who played TV's Punky Brewster back in the 1980s, recently admitted that she had a close encounter with Michael Jackson when she was only eight years old.
In her new parenting book, "Happy Chaos," Moon Frye recounts her experience spending a day at Michael Jackson's home -- a day that included a one-on-one dip in a hot tub.
"So there I was sitting with Michael Jackson, alone in his Jacuzzi, talking about life, love, and the secrets of the world. I was eight years old. Yes, I know you're probably horrified, or at least a little confused as you read this, wondering how in the world I got there," Frye writes.
"Michael took my mother and me on a tour of his home," she continues. "We saw his elaborate costumes encased in glass, his bedroom, all of his knickknacks, and his stunning recording studio ... We watched 'Willy Wonka,' and Michael and I sat next to each other. He had a way of speaking as if he were a child, too."
On Tuesday's (Aug. 23) "Today" show, Moon Frye said of the visit, "It was such a fun, crazy experience. I didn't realize how strange it was then."

...Um, creeper much?
he knew you were a girl right?
Did she have a rack then, too? She was sporting DDs by the time she was 14! (Not that MJ would have noticed- girls were icky to him.)
trying to sell books? just share your "michael jackson is a weirdo" story.
i thought you were better than this, punky...
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Heeeeeeeeeee
and then he asked me to Jam on it, woo hoo !
She seems to not be saying anything negative about the late King of Pop so it does not bother me much.I cannot stand when people speak ill of the departed because those who have departed are no longer here to defend themselves.
If anything, this lends credibility to the MJ's statement that he not only had boys at his Ranch but also lots of girls. Anyways, she doesn't seem to be saying anything negative about their experience. She's just recounting a highlight of her life. Also, what about that little girl on the Oprah show in 1993 who was known for a time as MJ's best friend. She also said that MJ was very nice and he liked to act like a big kid. People just want to find something wrong with Michael. God, the world turned on him so badly, especially the United States.
Oh, so now that you're trying to sell a book, an experience that was fun and innocent is now suddenly "strange" to you.
