The Real Housewives of New York City star Jessel Taank had a pretty wild theory about her parents and Michael Jackson while growing up.

“As a child, I thought Michael Jackson was my real dad and my parents had kidnapped me from him,” Taank, 43, exclusively tells Us Weekly‘s 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me.

With age comes wisdom, so Taank eventually figured out that the singer wasn’t her father. Now, she considers herself “weirdly intuitive and extremely spiritual” — both of which are common traits for Scorpios.

“I have consulted with an astrologist since the age of 15,” she tells Us.

Taank is driven to succeed and her success isn’t about what’s written in the stars. She manifests her goals. “I am the self-proclaimed queen of manifesting and have it down to a science,” Taank tells Us. “Whatever I want, I visualize every day and will it into existence — it hasn’t failed me yet.”

Her next endeavor Taank is manifesting is her own e-commerce platform, Oushq, which is set to launch this fall.

3. I had a private Japanese tutor growing up and can converse in Japanese.

4. As a child, I thought Michael Jackson was my real dad and my parents had kidnapped me from him.

5. I tell everyone my favorite movie is The Shawshank Redemption, but really, it’s Clueless.
