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.

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.

A woman who lives near me, Margaret Kelly Michaels, served 8 years in prison on hysterically trumped up sex charges ( The Wee Care Day Care “scandal”). She was finally released after an appeal brought by the radical lawyer William Kunstler shortly before his death. After her release she married one of her attorneys and faded into richly deserved obscurity. The law isn’t perfect, but it’s all we have, and I don’t know of any reason to distrust the verdict of the California jury that acquitted Michael Jackson. I agreed with the verdict when it was issued, and still think it was correct.

You are right. The blond hair of one is a dead giveaway. What is really strange (AKA normal to MJ) is that his kids almost always wear masks anytime the public might see them.

He is nothing more than a talented dysfunctional child molester who, by virtue of his past wealth, was allowed to get away with this crap. And by talented I mean far, far from the entertainer of all time they are throwing around.

Can’t help but notice that none of these people spoke up while the gravy train was still running.

exactly...and that wasn’t just one source - that also came from the case in the 90’s when MJ paid off the boy for what? $25 million?
$25 million dollars.

You get no “pervert” vibes from MJ at all?

Even with testimony about the jesus juice and pornography being present at all-boy sleepovers?

Let’s say you’ve already paid off one boy for $25 million.
And let’s say you’ve been on trial for alleged molestation and managed to survive that.

Would YOU put these words into one of your songs?

“Relax
This won’t hurt you
Before I put it in
Close your eyes and count to ten
Don’t cry
I won’t convert you
There’s no need to dismay
Close your eyes and drift away”

That would be the most disturbing part of a very disturbing song called “morphine”.

Peter Pan my a$$.

I’m confused. On one hand you cite a verdict that, as best I can tell, you think represents a failure on the part of the Justice System while, at the same time, use the not guilty verdict in the MJ molestation case as the vindication offered by a supposedly infallible Justice System.

Which is it. Perfection or fallibility?

I read that the Jackson family and the usual band of race hustlers (Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, etc) are, on cue, calling for an second independent autopsy. Before long, they’ll be blaming his death on the hospital and “racist” white doctors and EMTs. As if its there’s any mystery what killed him: his own strangeness. No doubt, aided and abetted by his family and entourage. Anyone who really cared about him probably gave up years ago.

I am not sure if I have seen all his children but the ones I have seen are clearly not his children yet no one seems to want to say it.

Oldest son Prince and daughter, Paris. I haven't seen a photo of the youngest son, Blanket.

There's no way these two children have any of Jackson's DNA whatsoever.

What's really disturbing is the fact that the article said that Katherine and Joe should have the children and are the ones most qualified in teaching them to deal with the spotlight. Since they did such a great job teaching their children that lesson.

As an aside, when I clicked on the article I thought the lady in the photo was the actress Alfie Woodard.:)

He’s a bit like a Howard Hughes for our time. Brilliant at the beginning, rich in the middle, crazy at the end. Some differences of course... Hughes was a better businessman and died rich; Jacko was a better musician, but both went off the deep end—grandiose schemes, drugs, persecution complexes, germphobia...

Morphine? We agree that Jackson was a drug addict. He was tried and acquitted on sex charges.

I found on the internet that Margaret Kelly Michaels now has 5 children of her own with her ex-prosecutor husband. Her lawsuit for damages was rejected in 2000 by the US Court of Appeals, which said New Jersey prosecutors had absolute immunity for railroading her into prison for 8 years, and she should be grateful for finally being released.

They are strikingly normal looking children, but with as dark of a skin tone as Michael had, I can’t imagine they are his. I would believe one could come out as lighter skin — but both? Nope, don’t think so

So who IS the father? Guess that’s the question

“Which is it. Perfection or fallibility?”

Neither. I know of no reason to think the Jackson jury got it wrong. Jackson was undoubtedly a weird, strange, person, but it’s not a crime to be weird and strange. This is some of the testimony the jury heard, that acquitted Michael Jackson:
http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/05/11/jackson.trial/index.html
Against McCauley Culkin’s testimony, was the accusing testimony of the admitted blackmailers. No wonder the jury didn’t have a hard time.

As for the Margaret Kelly Michaels trial, I believed it was a ghastly miscarriage of justice the day the verdict was first issued. The same people who now are utterly convinced about the global warming menace, back then were sure all our children were being sexually molested at day care centers. Comparisons to the Salem witch trials seem quite appropriate to me.
