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.

Despite all the jokes about Arlen Spectre and his Scottish Law, I actually like the Scottish system.

The jury can say “we don’t think there is enough proof to convict but we still suspect he did it” or “We not only find him not guilty, we think he didn’t do it”

That makes a lot more sense to me than simply guilty or not guilty.

yes, it would’ve been nice if there were a way to say “we’re not sure if he’s guilty, but he certainly should be nowhere near children, nor should he have custody of his own children and be banned from adopting in the future...”

With the amount he had to pay lawyers, I doubt he got bad legal advice.

Try getting out of your basement once and a while - it might help.

Alway used “Dead” as an example when we were talking about syllables with the little kids... 1-2 or three depending on where you live. They would laugh, but they got it from then on.

“You sir, are a moron. Good day.”

After carefully considering the source of the insult, I’ll accept it as a compliment.

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

YIKES!

Michael Jackson's doctor has history of legal, financial woes

Dr. Conrad Murray's legal troubles in Las Vegas began in 2002, two years after he opened Global Cardiovascular Associates on East Flamingo Road near Eastern Avenue.

In February 2002, the Clark County district attorney's office filed a lien against Murray because of unpaid child support owed to Nenita Malibiran in California. That case followed him throughout the decade.

In 2006 he was hit with another lien for nearly $3,100 in unpaid child support, and as recently as June 10, the district attorney's office filed to collect $10,893 in back child support owed to Malibiran in Santa Clara County in California, according to county records.

Murray had trouble paying other personal debts, as well.

Capital One Bank sued Murray in October and won a default judgment for $960 plus $408 in interest and legal fees.

And in March, HICA Education Loan Corp. won a $71,332 civil judgment against Murray, who failed to repay student loans from his days in medical school at Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tenn., according to court records.

Murray and his company have also faced a litany of lawsuits in the past three years for unpaid bills and business obligations.

Lawsuits from Citicorp Vendor Finance and Popular Leasing U.S.A. ended with judgments against Murray totaling $363,722, and two pending lawsuits from Digirad Imaging Solutions and Siemens Financial Services are seeking judgments totalling $366,541.

On Friday, the office at Global Cardiovascular Associates was dark.

A closed sign hung from the door.

Murray has not been the subject of disciplinary action by the Nevada medical or pharmacy boards, according to those agencies.

He has been registered to vote in Clark County since 2004 but does not have a Nevada driver's license, according to the Department of Motor Vehicles.

He lives in a 5,268-square-foot home with four bedrooms and a pool near the Red Rock Country Club.

“With the amount he had to pay lawyers, I doubt he got bad legal advice.”

You would think, but then he certainly got bad medical advice.

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

I agree with your statement, and that he was a freak...but the issue isn't whether he was gifted or good looking...he was both. It comes down to...

What did he do with the gifts he was given?

On both counts, he totally wasted the fruits of his gifts on things that will not last, on things that made the world worse (morally) and he destroyed his own good looks in a narcissistic, suicidal manner.

In other words, a waste.

That has always been my favorite picture ever. Grotesque and creepy, yet comical and whimsical.

I used to have it in my cubicle at work, but I think someone took it down when I wasn’t looking.

And brittany spears got more attention for her public antics. Assuming this is true—do we doubt it? I’ve not read the comments here yet. The entire family enabled him...and now his kids (blanket??? Sheesh) have to suffer for this the rest of their of their lives. Will they be angry at the adults for not intervening on their behalf?

This is beyond belief. I don’t know how they can live with themselves..

And one of his friends was a rabbi, media reported he was mj’s spiritual advisor. So much good that did. His soul was destroyed a long time ago.
