Oprah Winfrey Show talks about Jesse Jackson

Oprah: What's your realationship like?

Jesse: Oh it was hard. Ever since my half, Akane, died during this era, Oogie was a recluse and hated me. Once he got to know me, he likes me. He would call me cute. To my Big Boys, I was a PYT. Pretty Young Thing. Oogie calls me "Sweet Tooth" because of my spoilings.

Oprah: So your Big Boys, I'm sorry to bring it up, but are they pedophiles?

Jesse: No... no, no, no. They aren't like that at all. No. If they were, they wouldn't have been interested with me.

Oprah: Really? I will say the boys' names and I want you to say yes or no if they had ever raped you, if they had ever molested or masturbated in front of you.

Jesse: *sighs* Okay...

Oprah: Gaara/Shukaku?

Jesse: Yes.

Oprah: Taro?

Jesse: No.

Oprah: Oogie?

Jesse: yes, without me knowing...

Oprah: And Michael?

Jesse: HECK NO! *calms down* I'm sorry, I just couldn't stand that even that Michael died, some people still believe he's a pedo. He's not...

Oprah: When you said yes to Oogie, but without you knowing, how's that?

Jesse: Well, I was dancing to "Smooth Criminal" for a music video with the Bat Brothers and I was very tired so I was dead asleep on that giant roulette table. Oogie was walking by and he carried me to a bed and somehow, his sexual instinct came up and in his human form, he did "it" to me. Then a red head named "Tai", I'm not going to use his real name, took a picture of this and send it to the press. *takes out a Halloween Town newspaper arcticle*

Oprah: When you found out, you were upset?

Jesse: Yeah and I got so sick that I actually looked like him. Those pictures with me in brown burlap skin and brown eyes and the trashy kings crown on my white cap, that wasn't a costume. It was real. To top it off, the police found out that I got Oogie out of jail and they were going to arrest me.

Oprah: And that's how the "In The Closet Halloween Style" video performance came to be?

Jesse: Yes...
