Nanny Reveals Tragic Secret Life Of Jackson

Nanny reveals tragic secret life of Jackson

Maurice Chittenden and John Harlow Los Angeles

THE nanny who became “mother” to Michael Jackson’s three children has told how she regularly had to pump his stomach to remove dangerous cocktails of drugs.

Grace Rwaramba, 42, who flew from London to Los Angeles yesterday in the hope of being reunited with his children, has given a graphic account of the singer’s increasingly desperate final months.

She paints a grim picture of Jackson, sometimes penniless but deluded about his “riches”, leading a nomadic life, moving from country to country and hotel to hotel, before allegedly falling under the increasing influence of the Nation of Islam, the extremist sect.

Jackson is believed to have been taking up to eight different drugs a day, including three narcotic painkillers. Rwaramba, who is expected to be interviewed by detectives about whether she helped administer the drugs, said: “I had to pump his stomach many times. He always mixed so much of it.

“There was one period that it was so bad that I didn’t let the children see him . . . He always ate too little and mixed too much.”

The nanny says she once called in the singer’s mother, Katherine, and sister, Janet, to attempt an “intervention”, trying to persuade the singer to come to terms with his addiction. Instead Jackson turned on her, accusing her of betraying him. “He didn’t want to listen; that was one of the times he let me go,” she said.

Rwaramba, who is from Rwanda, worked for Jackson for more than a decade, starting as an office assistant before becoming nanny to his children, Michael Jr, known as Prince, aged 12; Paris, 11; and Prince Michael II, 7, nicknamed Blanket to distinguish him from his brother.

Have you ever listened to the jerk talk about sleeping with adolescent boys?

He was a freak.

Soon to be fodder for every late night comedian's joke repertoire, just like Rush Limbaugh's drug habit.

NOT.

Amazing how many in the media have tried to turn a pervert who was addicted to drugs into a hero.

Limbaugh does a lot of good, though. Consider that too.

Oddly enough, I suspect some people actually think they are his because he changed his appearance.

I remember a WWII pilot who was horribly burned when his plane crashed. He married and had a bunch of kids. When I saw the family portrait I realized that subconsciously I had been expecting the kids to look a bit like him. All the kids were handsome or pretty. Of course if I had actually thought about it, I knew his disfigurement would have no effect on the kids.

A jury also said OJ was innocent.

I think the reason many of us feel that the children of the world are safer is because of his aborrhent behavior and ridiculous explanations regarding sleeping with little boys.

He offered the following, in spite of the publicity surrounding his behavior:

“Why can’t you share your bed? The most loving thing to do, is to share your bed with someone.”

And further described the practice as “very charming” and “very sweet.”

Jackson even said he would kill himself if he could not be close to young boys.

There are more statements that are bizarre given how this looks. It might have been understandable if he had said something on the order of “In retrospect, maybe that wasn’t a good idea”

Instead he sounded more like a spokesman for NAMBLA.

Oh, come on. When are we going to stop covering for these perverts by stating they weren't proven guilty in a court of law? The fact that he had more money than the people who sold their little boy to him and was able to buy their silence (probably, by most accounts) only means he had more money, not that he didn't do what the prosecutors charged him with.

The longer we justify this kind of behavior as not being condemned by a jury, the longer we will have perverts trolling our streets. Juries may not find these people guilty, but that doesn't mean we can't rain shame down on them.

We've sat on our hands long enough.

I’m sure he had much more money than they did to keep them broke and in court. It is perpetrated by people who aren’t even famous - but just have more money than they need.

And those “mothers” gave their children to him.

Gave?

I believe "sold" will prove to be the more accurate verb.

My impression of Michael Jackson was Peter Pan rather than pervert. A California prosecutor did his best to prove otherwise, and failed. There were no Blacks on the jury that acquitted Michael Jackson.

In my opinion, since the man is now dead and can’t defend himself, those who charge him with illegality should either produce some hard evidence or else hold their peace.

The trial also established his habit of sneaking alcohol in for minors and providing them with pornographic material.

That this disgusting failure of a man is being given such adulation shows the decay of our nation’s moral fiber. To hold him up as a hero to a younger generation only brings our destruction closer.

It’s strange that Jackson was turning to Islam and the Mullahs in Iran were most likely celebrating his death. They’ve got a free hand to crush freedom as the world focuses in on Jackson.

In my opinion, your opinion is accurate.

A gifted performer, a good looking guy in his younger years, and a pedophiliac monster who practiced self-mutilation and sexual deviancy.
