Anybody knows if Michael met Whitney before the Bad era? I'm doing some research before I write my story b/c I want to make it really good.

I think he did...I think I saw a very old picture of MJ and Whitney...but I'm not sure.

yes. in the thriller era...

He must've met her before, because David Gest (who knew them both), berkata Michael introduced him to Whitney in 1985.

Btw... according to "The Sun" (that's a Tabloid, though, so I don't know if this is true) David Gest also said: "She really loved Michael and he adored her. Michael told me they once shared a passionate kiss, and she told me she was at one time very much in cinta with him. I think she really wanted to marry him, but, although he had a crush on her, he was too shy. Later, he confessed to me he should've made every move."

She was good friends with the Jackson, and she was interested in Michael at one time according to close friend, David Geffen.
