It is terrible that his personal life was as much of a performance as his stage life.
Unfortunately he was an addict,not because he was trying to block anything out but because he was in a lot of physical pain.
And because he felt the drugs were not addicting he refused to get help in the later years of his life.
I LOVE YOU MICHAEL! I MISS YOU SO MUCH!!! Were you really a drug abuser? I’m in denial…I’m having a hard time BELIEVING that you were, my heart is STILL BROKEN. Happy 51st Birthday Michael!! God I WISHED this was a DREAM!!! IT WAS NOT YOUR TIME TO GOYOU HAD MORE TIME TO SPEND WITH YOUR CHILDREN AND YOUR FANSthe world will never be the same. I know I wont ever be the same.
Marie Sue…I think they cared about Michael. I really do. He was gifted and he was special. Everybody wanted a piece of him. The sad thing is…the WORLD loved Michael…I just wonder if he loved himself??? His death is unreal…very sad. I know I will never be the same.
The lawyer was actually not saying anything wrong. He was just stating the facts that Michael had to resort to painkillers because of all his injuries. He got addicted to the pain medications and could not get off from it. That is how addiction is. The lawyer also said that the trial took such a toll on him, poor soul. MJ was very much against drugs when he was a lot younger. He did not do this on purpose. It was caused by all those body injuries and pains he suffered inside his heart.
This guy came on TV 1st with the allegations MJ was addicted to Drugs,hours after he was pronounced dead. Then Cherilyn and the press ran away with him being on pain killers. MJ admitted this is 93 trial not 05 case.He went to Rehab in 96. mj MAY HAD TAKEN PAIN PILLS for his back problems also for generalize joint pains, they knew that but he had Lupus, which attaches itself to other systems in your body. MJ was private about his health with the press.There were no pain meds in his system,was it
People have to start to think of the fact that one person isn’t just ONE thing in life. You can be a busdriver, nasty father, good politician, charming and a funny guy at the same time. So, IF Michael was addicted to medical drugs, he didn’t have to be misserable or a bad person ’cause of that. He was still a good father, kind and humble. But this is also a problem with addictions to medical drugs, people tend to think of a drug addict as a person that’s ruined, physicly and motionly.
funny how the media keeps calling MJ was a drug addict—yet all the drugs they claimed he was abusing wasn’t even found in his system
when will they stop tarnishing this man’s name and just let him rest in peace?

They also talked about the bite of the spider. They keep calling him a “sniveling” guy to make their new accusations plausible.
They were choosing weird cutouts and people suddenly all said “he is weird”. They try to execute him a third time.
“funny how the media keeps calling MJ was a drug addict”
Funny how some fan-boys can’t hear it…except that it’s not really funny, it’s pathetic
Thank you for a breath of truth amongst his fanbase Dubbelbekasin. I, too, admire MJ immensely but refuse to lie for him
“There were no pain meds in his system”
No, just every other day of MJ’s life for the last 20 years
I’m sorry, this is TOO far fetch, Too many peoples came out about the drugs. If he had been on drugs this wouldn’t been anything new on MJ, the media would had spew this out yrs ago. Diane Dimond claims she’s MJ’ expert and was paying his staff for info.Nope, this is a cover up.There is someone BIG behind all the ALLEGATIONS Tohme Tohme after returning 5.5 mil to MJ estate he stole said, when the truth comes out, you’ll be amazed. Jail or Death to ALL involved. LAPD do the right thing, YOUR JOB
Yes Katren2, you are sorry. Now wise up to what drug abuse looks like.
What are you trying to imply. I work daily with substance abuse. How do you know he was on drugs because they say so, there are others that says different. Why should I believe these ppls ? Because you do. Antianxiety meds are not like Opiate drugs to get high off of. Talk what you know, not what you think.
They tried hard to tarnish his name but facts were not backing them up. In his stomach was xanax (antianxiety) and they found propofol. Versed, ativan and valium was administered into an IV line , that Dr. Murray gave, not pain killers. Murray was paid to be the scape goat. The truth will come out. The Jackson are not going to just settle on Dr. Murray, they knew it was about the catalogue.
K:
1. I don’t believe what you say about working w addicts. You don’t seem bright enough for that.
2. Listen to MJ’s own songs and public confessions regarding his use to see what he was up to.
3. Listen to other people’s reports who were close to him; like his nanny’s, record producers, laywers, etc
4. Look at the physical condition.
5. Consider the mans unhappiness.
6. Don’t forget he was a bright and brilliant life for us. I’m sure you wont.
Why didnt this lawyer report him to child protective service if he knew he had this problem . They would have made him go to rehab our lose his kids. He might still be here. Everybody around MJ enabled him to stay sick. so sad.
Because his children were taken care of very well. Child protective service is for children who is in a bad situation, not as a punishment for parents.
No what’s really sad is MJ enabled HIMSELF to be a drug addict. Stop trying to pass the buck
HOW do you “wake up dead?”…good grief
Wake Up folkz, this man lies with every word he says.
Is an honorable lawyer who stood up for the J family many times. You can’t take it that MJ was a junkie, but you’re going to learn to.
“everybody around MJ enabled him to stay sick”
MJ himself enabled him to stay sick
Actually true friend of the family.
You guys who lie and minimize for MJ would have killed him all over again.
All you children commenting on Jackson make me want to throw up. You think friends are traitors when all they’re doing is expressing their experiences with him. You protect MJ as if he were a baby and needs you to hide everything for him. Fuck off and remind me never to trust you as a friend for myself.
