In the episode, which aired on Dec. 21, Orlando wore green and black snake-eye contacts and talked about Michael Jackson being his father, and how he wants to marry Raven Symone.
“They’re my Michael Jackson eyelids,” Orlando told Dr. Phil about his snake eye contacts. “From [the] ‘Thriller’ [music video].”
He then continued, “My full name is Orlando Brown Prince Michael Jackson Jr. aka Blanket,” the actor said, laughing.
“My nickname I gave to myself. My father was Michael Jackson, the great Michael Jackson…I used to always wonder why I’m so astronomically blessed and gifted when it comes to being talented. I rap, sing and I do everything immaculately. The eyes. And also just speaking to different Jackson family members that, you know, have confirmed it. So yeah, it’s a blessing to know that. I can sit here today and say, that yeah, that Michael Jackson was my father.”
After his confusing comments, he then clarified that MJ wasn't his father, but his “father figure”.
“I know my father would have wanted me to have it,” he said of Michael's ranch. “He left it for me.”
Ok.
This is when he went on to explain his desire to marry Raven.
“I want to marry her. I have to find out a way to ask her. Right now, I’m just chilling,” he said.
Earlier this year, Orlando was arrested for various crimes, including alleged felony drug possession, misdemeanor charges of drug paraphernalia, and alleged battery against a spouse after getting in a verbal argument with his girlfriend and her mother.
Orlando claims he is now “four years sober.”
He entered a treatment facility after his arrests in September to get help for mental health and substance abuse issues.
