Every celebrity has some kind of quirk. For Michael Jackson, everyone remembers his pet monkey, Bubbles. But, wait!
Michael Jackson was not the first celebrity to adopt a funny and misbehaving chimp!

Elvis also had a pet Chimpanzee named Scatter.
(Which begs the question, was Michael Jackson embodying his once father-in-law?)
It is said that Scatter was quite a sprightly fellow, and he would often cause trouble.

Scatter would show up to elaborate parties hosted by Elvis at Graceland and harass the guests.
One story tells of the naughty chimp placing his hands inappropriately on a woman during a party, which was followed by a hard uppercut from her. It is said that Elvis encouraged Scatter’s inappropriate behaviors.
