Former Nanny Tells of Michael's Drug Use

An alarming portrait of Michael Jackson in his final months has now been sketched by the nanny who cared for his three children. Grace Rwaramba, 42, tells The Times of London that she routinely pumped out the pop star's stomach after he'd ingested a dangerous combination of drugs.

"I had to pump his stomach many times. He always mixed so much of it," Rwaramba said, referring to drugs. "There was one period that it was so bad that I didn't let the children see him," she is quoted as saying. "He always ate too little and mixed too much."

Questioning statements in Rwaramba's Times of London interview and insisting some quotes were taken out of context, Mallika Chopra, the daughter of spiritual teacher, medical doctor and Michael Jackson confidant Deepak Chopra, writes on her Web site Sunday: "For the record, Grace never pumped Michael's stomach. She has no idea how she would even do such a thing." She also says of Rwaramba, "Grace is more than my best friend – I refer to her as my sister."

Having now arrived in Los Angeles from London, Rwaramba, who is originally from Rwanda, is expected to be interviewed by LAPD detectives investigating Jackson's death on Thursday.

Proposed Intervention Having at one time proposed a drug invention for Michael, and contacting his mother Katherine and sister Janet for their help with it, the nanny found herself fired by Michael. "He didn't want to listen," she says, "that was one of the times he let me go."

In Jackson's employ for more than a decade, Rwaramba started as an office assistant to the pop star before becoming a nanny to his three children: Prince, now 12; Paris, 11; and Blanket, 7. She was last fired by Michael in December, and claims that when she visited the children in April, she herself had to buy balloons for Paris's birthday, because Michael was so broke.

"Michael had no idea about money," Rwaramba says, citing a $1 million offer he received to appear in Japan. "By the time everyone took their share," she says, "he ended up with $200,000."

She brought the Nation of Islam into Michael’s life. Farrakhan appointed his son-in-law as Michael’s business manager.

"Do you think the Nation of Islam killed Michael Jackson?

The clearout had apparently been engineered by his children’s nanny, Grace Rwaramba, who was gaining considerable influence over Jackson and his affairs and has been described as the ‘queen bee’ by those around Jackson. Rwaramba had ties to the black militant organisation, the Nation of Islam, and its controversial leader, Louis Farrakhan, whom she enlisted for help in running Jackson’s affairs. Before long, the Nation was supplying Jackson’s security detail and Farrakhan’s son-in-law, Leonard Muhammad, was appointed as Jackson’s business manager, though his role has lessened significantly in recent years."

Who could have guessed this formerly rich and privileged entertainer would have had problems with drugs, sex, gender identity, perversion, reality and stress?

Also - who could be surprised that Jacko is simply another “troubled” black man who turned to Islam as an escape from the nightmare their personal choices and behavior have gotten them into.....

After all, isn’t Islam the cult that welcomes our prison felons, drug addicts, black racists, criminals and miscreants?

America’s addiction for and admiration of such a feckless character is not an encouraging indicator of our Nation’s “citizens”....

Sadly - the men and women deserving the adoration heaped on this perverted asshole, are ignored..

It's not difficult to get the tool. What's harder is finding someone with the skill to use it safely and effectively.

It was reported that the children are with “the family,” whatever that means.

Blanket is a nickname because he was given the same name as the older son: Prince Michael (II)
