Michael Jackson is the wealthy ex-fiancé of Michaela McQueen. Michaela's family arrived to stay at her and Michael's manor in September 2011, with her mother Myra McQueen taking a liking but sister Mercedes McQueen taking a dislike to him. Myra was left greatly amused to learn that Michael's surname was "Jackson", and that he was an atrocious dancer. After Jenifique McQueen pickpocketed a man and planted his wallet on Michaela, Michael pepper-sprayed him as he attempted to forcefully retrieve the wallet.
Stranded on a supposedly-abandoned island with the McQueens, Michael proposed to Michaela who accepted. However, Michael's high standards pushed Michaela to the limit and she later broke off their engagement. After Jenifique split from her boyfriend Johnny, she began flirting with Michael.
