Karla KnafelS Untold Story
Before delving into the star’s high-profile split, whispers of MJ’s infidelity to Juanita surfaced. In the early 2000s, Karla Knafel hit MJ with a lawsuit for breach of contract, claiming a secret romance from 1989 to 1991 and a child’s birth. She alleged MJ offered $5 million for her silence—a payment never made.
DNA tests later negated MJ’s paternity, resulting in a $250,000 settlement. While MJ denied the hush money, the affair itself remained unrefuted. This begs the question: Did this scandal spark MJ’s unexpected divorce in 2002?.
