Jackson's Maid -- He Binged On Drugs

Posted Jul 14th 2009 6:30AM by TMZ Staff

One of Michael Jackson's former housekeepers told law enforcement the singer was often in such bad shape from drugs, his eyes would roll back in his head.

We've obtained documents from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff Department's 1993 investigation into allegations of child molestation. Kristina Fournier told deputies back then ... she saw syringes while she was employed at Neverland. Deputies asked her if she ever saw Jackson inject himself with a hypodermic needle -- she said no.

Fournier told deputies she was aware Jackson was under the influence of drugs and "under a doctor's care." Fournier said she saw doctors "come and go" at Neverland.

And Fournier said, on the subject of Jackson's drug addiction, "I think he had good periods and bad periods, and when he had a bad period, he had a bad period. Then he would get off (referring to drugs) and then it would start again."

Fournier said it was "well-known" among the Neverland staff that Jackson had a drug problem -- "Yes, and people would say, his eyes were rolling in the back of his head and he wouldn't know what he was talking about."

7. I don't bui it. Half of the things that people are saying now are false. I belive he had problems, with drugs but not that much as people are saying. Look at his kids, they said Michael was the best daddy in the world, i dunno if he would be in condition to care for them if he was so on drugs. So stop posting crap out of respect for him and his children!

8. His employees saw everything, but were blinded by the money and still are. It's easy to accuse someone who is half of the time of the world because he is doped. If he's then playing innocence in interviews and the court room and just answering 'I don't know' then it is because he really doesn't know. Give people drugs and they do crazy things like overpaying employees and giving their money away. Do you really think Michael is such a financial idiot to go minus 400 million dollars ? Buying antique, yeah right, where is all that antique then ? The only antique I saw is the antique he bought in Bashir's interview and the most of this antique he had already. On those Neverland photos I only saw the Bashir's interview antique.

14. at this moment in time everybody has something to say about Michael and drugs, but when he was alive nobody spoke, i think that a witness that does nothing is as guilty as the perpetrator, don't you? The should remember that KARMA is a bitch and will bite them in the ars!!!!

15. Yeah ok Katie... MJ never had a drug problem.... that's why he died.... from a drug overdose.

And I'm sure his kids absolutely loved MJ.... he let their friends sleep over whenever he wanted.... and whatever they wanted he could buy for them...... meanwhile he was too off his face to be keeping an eye on them so they could do whatever they want.

Just because the kids said they loved him as a "dad' doesn't mean he was a good one.
