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.

OK fine - so you’re not going to address the obvious problem with the lyrics presented to you.
Instead you’ll ramble on about someone else who has nothing to do with MJ.

Now I know enough to not bother.

Well, with all due respect, I reject your attempts to shield this obviously dysfunctional pedophile with the verdict of a single jury. Take a look at some of the interviews he gave about the subject. Look at what he actually became over time. Watch what he did, not what the jury decided.

Enough of this Jury crap.

Amazing parallels to Judy Garland's last year or so. Except she made her London concerts - then OD’d.

"When I saw the family portrait I realized that subconsciously I had been expecting the kids to look a bit like him. "

I got my hair permed for years, and my mother-in-law was surprised when I went back to straight because she thought it had become naturally curly.

““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””

The name of the song is Morphine. He’s referring to the needle. That’s bad enough.

Yes, let’s just depend on vigilante justice.

And may God help us all.

I’m just amazed no one took out his dad... people don’t think about HOW he got that way.

All of those kids went through hell, in more ways than one.

I hope all the truth comes out, so they can heal.

I have no idea if the jury made the right decision or not. From what I heard of the trial I disagree with it but of course didn’t see everything.

Now the standard for conviction is very high as it should be. That doesn’t mean he didn’t do it. There is enough information in the public domain that there is little doubt he is a child molester and pervert. The fact that he paid one kid off with a huge sum of money is basically enough on it’s own.

He apparently was not a brutal or really cruel molester but any of that can ruin a child’s soul. I have nothing but disgust for him and the media which worshiped him.

Yes, don’t read the evidence. You might have to think, and that would be unsettling.

It certainly was suspicious, but it’s possible he just took bad legal advice to settle quickly. Lots of bad lawsuits get settled quickly that way. Did you see this one?

My first thought was I'd like to see his dad in the public square in the stocks and since his mother didn't do anything to stop what was going on, I don't think she should be around kids.

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

It worked for obama.

I sure don’t see anybody making him out to be a “hero.”
