Michael Jackson too scared to leave house

Michael Jackson is so scared to leave his house and be seen in public that he missed his nephew's wedding, according to reports.

The singer failed to turn up to TJ's marriage ceremony two weeks ago and has been a virtual recluse since he was found not guilty on 10 counts of child abuse in 2005.

Trini Poncedelleon who is dating TJ's father Tito has claimed it is because Michael does not feel comfortable in public.

She said: "It hurt TJ, but since the court case it's sunk in that people will try to take advantage of him."
