Michael Jackson had a long-standing secret girlfriend and developed an addiction to drugs supplied by unscrupulous doctors, his bodyguard told Sky News.
Matt Fiddes, a friend and UK bodyguard, quashed rumors that Michael was gay and said he had met the secret girlfriend on several occasions although he refused to identify her.
"I'm not going to name who she is but I think the family were aware that there was someone special in his life who he loved and adored and had his ups and downs with," he said.
"I don't know how long they've been a couple. I know she's been with him for some time in different capacities but... it's up to her if she wants it to come out or the family to speak about this very private information."
Matt became friends and worked as the superstar's bodyguard on visits to the UK over the following decade, although he was never paid. He volunteered his services for free after Michael complained that he was being overcharged for security.
Matt says he and Uri Geller tried in vain to keep drugs away from Jackson only for him to get more from the doctors, who he accused of charging fans up to $16,500 for introductions to their idol.
"I never witnessed him actually taking drugs but I knew they were there and I confiscated packages, and Uri did too," he said.
"And Uri confiscated injection equipment from his room... Uri would scream at Michael, you know, intensely, to stop doing this but we were getting pushed out.
"The doctor had such an influence over Michael that we felt our efforts were falling on deaf ears.
"As far as I'm concerned they have Michael's blood on their hands, they know what they've done and there's people out there who could have helped, could have stepped in but didn't for financial reasons.
"We went to great efforts to keep the doctors away. But as soon as we said anything and it gets back to Michael, Michael would have a screaming fit that we were interfering with his private life, that he knew what he was doing and he was in denial."
