Jackson's Maid -- He Binged On Drugs

Michael JacksonOne 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."

46. I would want to be bogger headed from drugs too if I looked like Michael Jackson and had little triangles for nostrils. Wonder what that freak thought when he looked in the mirror?

48. Joe Jackson is the scum of the Earth. He's the bottom feeder looking up at everyone else. Everyone knows Michael supported his family, everyone knows he was the most talented, every one knows that if it weren't for him the Jacksons would not be where they are today. Everyone also knows that MJ was addicted to pain killers. I don't think we'll ever really be able to sift through all the B.S. and all those coming out of hiding to gain their 15 minutes. It is curious that the LAPD (ROFL!) had all of this information during his molestation trial regarding the use and abuse of drugs and did/said nothing about it. They wanted so badly to nail him that that's all they focused on. Do you really think they care that he's passed? Nope. Do you think for one minute they weren't sitting around the LAPD whooping it up? Of course they were. I think the only reason they are even investigating this is because of all the outcry from fans and family. The stories are going to be endless, the whole truth might never be revealed. But honestly, I don't care who MJ did, male or female in his room, his sexuality is NONE of my business. People are assuming he was drugged/high/out of it 24/7 and that, I would almost guarantee was not the case. So, yeah, I think MJ was a good father to his kids, a great one in fact, when he could be.

49. OK, TMZ, that enough. I agree with Bla....This stuff that you are digging up was from 1993. But you are creating the headlines of the story as if the interview with the maid just happended. I am sure that its a lot of information from the interviews. What are you going to do, post a story from those 1993/2003, etc...files everyday? Its getting old and annoying. I love Miohael Jackson and like millions of others, I am very big fan.

So he may have had an addiction, where he took precriptions in excess and most likely the folks around him allowed him to do so - because he was MJ/money. While those things may/may not be true, you still cannot deny the fact that he was an awesome entertainer. His music lives on.

So TMZ/Mr. Levin, while I do like the fact that you get the news first....stop digging up the old crap. If you still want to dig up old crap, go investigate Elvis Presley, Marvin Gaye, Farrah Fawcett, Ed McMahon, Billy Mays, Natalie Wood, Pamela Anderson, etc........and trust me, I am not being cruel, but I am saying that other people have passed away. I know that their lives were not perfect either, stop trying to sell news.....let MJ rest in peace and please give his minor children some respect.

Again, readers out there, I am sure that we can all think of some celebrities that have died, some mysteriously, some tragic, some natural causes and if you look deep enough, they have and we all have some secrets, issues, addictions, phobias, paranoias in the closet, out the closet, in the backyard whatever.....He that is without sin, CAST THE FIRST STONE!!!!!.....

51. sadly all the rich and famous have employees sign confidentiality agreements that if they ever speak about what they see/hear in the home they will be sued for huge amounts of money that they don't have
and they won't be employed again at that level

so now upon his death they feel free to speak finally

have you ever wondered why you don't hear from Madonna's nannies-or the Pitt/Jolie nannies
or maybe Howard Stern's housekeepers or Oprah's chef or Hugh Hefner's chaufer etc.
why they don't write tell all books?

staff in the homes of the rich and famous know better once they sign on the dotted line that they will be sued

remember after Princess Diana died her butler wrote a book-so maybe death releases them from the contract-not sure

any lawyers out there to give the 411 on this so everyone will stop saying staff should have talked earlier than this

Jackson's friends & family didn't sign any agreement-so they were more a part of his cover-up of what he was doing....

not the paid employees

i think all this media, and to any one else out there that was blessed to know michael. PLEASE STOP trying to cash in on stories ,interviews, books whatever!!!! think of those three beautiful children who don't know their destiny. with my prayers they will stay with Katherine Jackson and the Nanny that they grew up with. whatever michael did he always made sure the children were well taken of. so for the rest of you people trying to make the almighty dollar on jackson's life again think of the children!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

55. Michael Jackson may have gone through stress down thru the years,but that wont leed him to commit suicide.
He was taking care of three of his children that he loved soo much.
I have my suspisions that Michael's doctors have something to do with his death by medication over dose.
I would also say that all the medications that he took wasn't in his name and that some belong to others. Soooo sad.
Michael was feeling great during the time of his rehearsal to go to London with nooooo complaints at all.Not even a chest pain.
And that was only a few days before his death.
If that was the case.... I hope the doctor or doctors would be charge with Michael's murder.

56. If you don't like TMZ doing stories on Michael Jackson here is an idea... STOP READING THEM.

They are posting it because they know they will get a reaction from the paedophile sympathisers out there who will turn a blind eye to his child abusing ways just because they grew up idolising him.

PIss off the website if you don't want to read about it.

57. Everyone still sleeping? I know it is still early in La La land but wake up people ~ instead of posting things from 1993 ~ how about the current breaking news? Yup, she did it again! Surprise, surprise.

58. Fran,

Where did you find this information? I am one of the few people who believed from the beginning that Michael's father, along with a few others may have had a hand (even if somewhat from afar) in what happened to his son). Why would he promote a record label while mourning his son's death? Regardless of all the negative things that have come to light (and all these negative things are ancient history 1993-2003) they are not relevant). The bigger story is what happened on June 25, 2009. Or more precisely, what happened between March 2009 and June 25, 2009? I think something big went down.
And for the record, I am a recovering addict, and so what, drugs are a sympton of a disease called addicton, whether you are addicted to drugs, sex, money, gambling it doesn't matter. stop trashing Michael. He was a person who had faults just like everybody else. His story is not unique. He just happened to live his life in the spotlight.

59. it is so sad the family couldn't intervene. and i think all he employeed especially the so-called loyal ones are all guilty of his demise plus all the doctors, all the pharmacies, etc. when he was out of it throughout the years, the stealing must have be dominant at neverland ranch. what a shame. can someone tell us, where were those three kids while he was drugged up.
i don't believe a word that comes out of mico brando, he is a horrible friend.
