Michael Jackson’s secret diary scrawlings ‘unveil erratic behaviour and dark fantasies’

EXCLUSIVE: A leading handwriting expert has analysed the extracts from Michael Jackson’s secret diary and revealed that the late musician possessed several unique character traits

Michael Jackson ‘s secret diary entries show signs of motivation but also delusions of grandeur, a handwriting expert has revealed.

Last week, an explosive new book unveiled previously unseen diary entries that had been written by the late legend, 50, prior to his death.

Michael – who died in June 2009 – made a number of revelations in his secret diary about hopes of being ‘immortalised’ as well as touching on some of his fears – including that he was being stalked by a killer.

At one point in his notes, the Smooth Criminal hitmaker mused about earning $20million a week and needed to find accountants that he trusted.

Further than just unveiling his plans, Michael’s handwritten notes have also provided a sensational insight into the performer’s mindset.

Handwriting analyst Tracey Trussell has since pointed out a number of complex traits that are prevalent in his writing.

She exclusively told MirrorOnline: “The real value of these notes is that they were never intended for anyone else’s eyes, which means they were penned un-selfconsciously and are 100% organic, offering candid insights into the mind of a man who believed he was omnipotent.

“This unerring personal belief and unrestricted power is seen in clusters of handwriting movements.”

She explained: “He doesn’t bother writing on the lines – he writes straight across them, as if they aren’t there – which indicates that he was a law unto himself. He wanted to stand out and be distinctive, and had no intention of doing things by the book. He was innovative and independent, making up his own rules as he went along.”

Tracey continued: “The size of the writing varies – the large size uncovering super-confidence, the smaller letters showing his ability to zoom in, concentrate and focus on applying the smaller details to his plans.

“The exaggerated tall stems reveal his achievement-orientation, and illustrate how strongly he was motivated by grandiose schemes and creative fantasy, to the extent where he suffered from delusions of grandeur, while the sharp tips reveal his immense dissatisfaction (at an aspirational level).”

Among the notes, Michael plots a number of grand schemes, but Tracey suggests there was also a lot of dissatisfaction.

She continues: “MJ was visionary – reaching for the stars – but he was never content or fulfilled by his successes in life – he always wanted more.

“And his strong sensual needs, his intense passions, unbridled excesses and dark fantasies are also seen in some of the thick, black smeary ink (in extract 3). He was obstinate and determined, he bottled up anger, and never really knew when to throw in the towel.

“Erratic behaviour and rapid shifts in mood are seen in the mixed slant (extract 3), where the writing flip-flops backwards and forwards, and combined with pockets of right slant meant he had a propensity to push for extreme and immediate expression.

“There are other tiny tell-tale clues in quirks of his handwriting: The ‘th’ letter combinations (where the tiny letter ‘t’s are followed by the much taller letter ‘h’) uncover his intrepid desire for taking risks and his fearless love of adventure.

“The large, Greek style ‘E’ (in extract 1) shows a desire for original expression. The t-bars crossed high reveal how much he wanted to take charge and be in control of his own life. The capital letter ‘M’ where the second hump is much taller than the first (particularly in extract 2), reveal his arrogance and strong need to be assertive.
