It really does.

Frank,
I know that you knew Michael was "troubled" (for lack of a better word that encompasses the entire situation.) His weight alone was disturbing evidence of this. You saw this and you knew and were very aware of it but are denying it. You will only continue to embarass yourself at this point if you keep insisting upon this exaggeration that Michael was healthy, eating, and excited to do the concerts.

Me and my friends spent many months with Michael, at least one of us saw and spoke to him almost every single day during the last year (not to mention the previous 15 years...) We saw him become continually more and more skinny in the past several months, sad and stressed almost to the point of tears in discussing the concerts, looking really down, very much not himself at times, apologizing for the way he looked (his weight), complaining of back pain, etc. Yes, of course there were also times when he was happy and enjoying himself and smiling and shopping and even excited at the thought of doing the concerts for his children and his fans and the message he wanted to share to the world. But predominantly he was troubled and it was OBVIOUS especially in the last couple months that he was INCREDIBLEY SKINNY to the point of needing someone to intervene. He was also missing rehearsals and there were too many times he was not feeling well.

In the last several weeks of Michael's life it was so obvious it could not be ignored. We wondered how no one else was seeing what we were seeing, and was anyone doing anything about it? If we as fans could see it, it was for sure that those of you around him, working with him almost every day, could see it too. We had attempted to contact those around Michael that we felt might care enough to do something, but everyone was too obsessed with their own interests in "This Is It."

I know that you were given some of our letters pleading for someone to intervene (by Karen Faye, who has said she was also concerned and used our letters to backup her own concerns) but you insisted everything was under control. Clearly everything was NOT under control, and you knew it as did Kenny Ortega, Randy Phillips, Travis Payne, Dr. Murray...there are many details we are aware, things that were done and said at rehearsals that prove you all knew Michael was in jeopardy, and we are NOT believing your lie saying Michael was healthy, eating, and excited to do the shows. Stop attempting to feed this lie any longer.

Despite AEG denying it the following day, Michael DID say he had gone to sleep expecting to do 10 shows, and woke up to 50 shows. You have denied this also on Larry King Live. But you weren't there when he said it so you wouldn't know. Michael DID say this though and he said other statements to us with the same sentiment such as not having enough break days between show days. HOWEVER whether he LITERALLY went to sleep with 10 shows and woke up to 50 shows IS NOT THE POINT. Whether he actually signed a contract to do 31 shows and subsequently agreed to do 50 shows IS NOT THE POINT...it is what was in his HEART to do, what he felt he COULD DO, what he was ACTUALLY CAPABLE of doing, not what he was basically (financially) FORCED to do...and THIS is what YOU and others should have CARED about for him as a human being and not a money machine. His life should not have been "re-financed" in a way that made it necessary for him to literally die paying it back.

So my question to you is this:
We decided to write letters to Michael himself which we gave him the night before he died expressing our deep and dire concerns for him. We wrote specifically that we were afraid for his life. WHY WERE WE AFRAID FOR HIS LIFE AND YOU WERE NOT? Why could we see it, but SUPPOSEDLY you, Kenny, Randy, and everyone in the "inner circle" who could have actually helped Michael was blind to his trouble/pain/stress/insomnia/malnourishment? This is what I want to know. Why the FACADE that everything was alright/under control? Why was the circus not stopped before it was too late? Why are you pretending you didn't notice/didn't know anything when it was NOT POSSIBLE TO NOT NOTICE.

Do you not even realize that you could have saved him if you had only tried...did you even ATTEMPT TO TRY???

At this point I would like you to simply ADMIT that you were actually aware that Michael was not really at a healthy weight, and not always in good spirits about the concerts. I would like an apology for the facade that is really only a slap in the face to his fans and Michael's memory by mostly Randy Phillips, Kenny Ortega, and yourself.

Tell the truth already.

Brace urself gang because it's going 2 get uglier. Dr. Klein, who first recommended the prescriptions, the pharmacies connected to this are already gathering legal defensive teams for this upcoming nastiness. What a deadly web we weave when we practice 2 deceive. Again all I can say is RIP MJ.

Does anyone have the video or photos of MJ running from the paps being shielded by two Black rockers and one of them had an mj doll. WTF was going on that day?

A fan wrote this on MJJC

like i said in another MJ thread...Conrad was doping up MJ in a futile attempt to undope him. Sounds incredibly stupid on his part. If MJ were some out of control drug addict then he needed to be hospitilized and looked after by a team of specialist who could wean him off all drugs without his life being in absolute danger. This fucker needs to be in prison along with all his cohorts.

Yeah I mean at the press conference, that was MJ , how can they say it was not MJ...some people make me wonder.

And all of these doctors need to get trapped in those webs too. That includes Steven Hoefflin ( ). Deceptive physicians like Klein and Hoefflin are some of the worst people to me, since they risk not properly helping (or even damaging/killing) their patients, but still concentrate on the money they'll be receiving.

None of that happens without Michael Jackson's addiction fueld ridiculousness. I hope this doctor gets the lightest sentence possible. Michael Jackson could not be stopped nor could he be forced to account for his choices including the procurement of a pharmacy's worth of drugs. It's coming out that he had all these alliases in order to get more and more drugs.

This doctor is obvioulsy incompetent but I hope this factors into any sentencing he gets. It takes 2 to Tango and while the doctor danced, Michael Jackson constructed the ballroom and furnished the ball.

LOS ANGELES - Michael Jackson’s brothers have landed their own series on A&E.

The cable network has confirmed to Access Hollywood that the documentary special that had been originally planned, which focuses on Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon Jackson, will now be turned into a series.

Earlier this month, A&E spokesperson Dan Silberman confirmed plans for the one-time special, which will serve as the basis for the docu-series.

According to Silberman, Michael did not participate in the filming of the special, which was shot before his death on June 25. No start date for the series has been announced.

In other Jackson family TV news, ABC announced on Tuesday that La Toya Jackson would give her first one-on-one interview since Michael’s death to Barbara Walters next month.

The interview is scheduled to air on “20/20” on September 11.

Following that, La Toya will also appear alongside Walters as a guest host on “The View” on September 16 and September 18.

he won't, though.

it's illegal to buy dope off the streets. it is also illegal to sell it. you can hate on mj all you want, call him an addict who deserved what he had coming. fine. but drug dealers go to jail everyday under some of the most draconian laws enforced in a first world nation.

the fact that doctor was incompetent and negligent will factor in, but not in the way you're hoping. more than a drug dealer, who ostensibly has no moral compass, the fact is you're expected to have one when you're a f*cking doctor. you're not supposed to be a mere drug dealer. he took an oath to do no harm. he could have disclosed the facts immediately to the paramedics who might have been able to save mj with appropriate anecdotes.

I don't think Michael got what he deserved in the sense that he needed to die but he is the one who would have gone to any and all lengths to get drugs in his body. If Michael Jackson wasn't rich he would be another black man stealing for his fix. He happened to have enoguh money to avoid that path but the actions are the same both men doing wrong shit to get their fix.
