This former A+/A list singer has a very selective memory.

Somehow she manages minute details about sexual harassment that didn’t happen, but can’t remember if she ever saw an athlete doping dozens of times despite living with him, and certainly has trouble recollecting whether she had a relationship with this rapper/country star who uses a stage name.

Sheryl Crow Recounts ‘Long Bout of Sexual Harassment’ from Michael Jackson’s Manager

Sheryl Crow is opening up about the sexual harassment she says she faced from Michael Jackson’s late manager Frank DiLeo while touring with the “King of Pop” in the late ’80s.

The nine-time Grammy Award winner, 59, recalled getting her big break in 1987 when she auditioned for Jackson’s first solo world tour during an interview with The Independent.

“Naiveté is such a beautiful thing,” Crow mused.

“It was incredible in every way, shape, and form for a young person from a really small town to see the world and to work with arguably the greatest pop star,” she continued. “But I also got a crash course in the music industry.”

Crow recalled tabloid stories that Jackson had fallen in love with his “sexy backing singer” and even offered her $2 million to have his baby. In her memoir audiobook Words + Music, which was published in September, she ventured to guess that the stories were planted by DiLeo, “to make Mike look like he was interested in women.”

Crow claimed that it was actually DiLeo who was interested in her, promising to make her a star while subjecting her to sexual harassment. She also alleged that he threatened to end her career if she refused his advances. Crow did just that, before returning to her Los Angeles apartment in 1989, where she experienced a lengthy bout of depression. – Source
