MICHAEL JACKSON WAS A DRUG ADDICT!! you don't take demoral for depression. that's a pain killer similar to other opiates like Heroin.

Diprovan should never be found outside of a hospital you just can't find that in a pharmacy.


Those of you on this thread still painting MJ as a victim need to wake up and realize this was a man with SERIOUS psychological problems who instead of dealing with them turned to drugs.

I REPEAT MICHAEL JACKSON WAS NOT A VICITM. At point does a 50 year old man take responsibility for the his well being.


Michael was not taking these drugs for medical reasons but because he was a drug addict and it sounds like a junkie.

It is a bit upsetting seeing people saying the things they have since Michael Jackson has died, Those famous and not famous. To hear about Quincy Jones saying MJ had chemical peels, Lisa Marie saying what she said...why didn't they say something while he was alive?

If the stories about Debbie Rowe are true and she's now saying she wants the kids, then she is a grade A cunt.

I can only imagine how people who loved him or were fans of his must feel.

I doubt if anyone in that family or debbie gives a ratass bout those children, eveyone is thinking of the bottom line and how much they are going to be worth. period.

It's starting to hit me again. I was doing okay for the past two days but I just heard MJ's song "Smile" and it set me off again. It really is so terrible and I am tired of people in my life telling me to get over it or saying that I didn't know MJ. What the **** do they know? Nothing. They know nothing about MJ or what he meant for some people. I am so broken up. Man, i don't think I will ever get over MJ dying. I miss him so much it's not funny. I can't believe I will never speculate about new music or see a pic of him alive. I can't believe i'm talking about him the past tense. Everyday I say to myself "Michael Jackson...Dead"? No it can't be. It's like some weird dream. No one ever excited me as much as Michael did and I will never love another artist the way I loved him all these years. Entertainment is not as exciting for me now, there's nothing much in music I look forward to know, except Prince! But MJ was my ultimate.

The only bright side I can see is that there might be tons of unreleased music and video's to come out over the next few years.

I disagree. I genuinely feel his mother cares for those children. Otherwise, I agree with you. Michael left tons of people out of his will for a reason.

Vendetta1 said:

She may but remember this is the woman who allowed her husband to beat her children.

lazycrockett said:

And she may want to help raise those kids to make up for it. My grandmother did exactly the same thing.

Could it be that Michael was off the medication in his final years and that his doctors were giving him stuff that he definitely didn't need?

We can speculate all we want and we proclaim all we want, but until a toxicology report comes back...NONE of us can say what was happening in his life and what he was going through. point blank

Very true. The man had the world against him. For every fan, there were people calling him names, and basically shredding his life apart. what really gets me is the black people around me now claiming him, including radio station DJs like Tom Joyner who dissed the guy at every turn, now kissing his ass.

Vendetta1 said:

exactly. I understand what ehuffnsd is saying but at the same time, we're looking from the outside so all it is speculation

we also don't know what kind of pain he was in these past couple of years, emotional or physical. Not only that, some of ya'll are posting a clip of him admitting he was on painkillers back in 1993 when he about to go to rehab.

You won't catch me posting or saying anything negative about MJ now. None of it matters now.

I have a feeling that the LAPD is being very laidback about this whole investigation.

They just let Dr. Conrad Murray and AEG go off easily.

Why is this not a criminal investigation?

Jackson's Former Doc -- Reprimanded Over Rx

Posted Jul 3rd 2009 7:49PM by TMZ Staff

A doctor who has treated Michael Jackson, went on tour with Jackson and even videotaped Jackson's wedding to Debbie Rowe, was reprimanded by the Medical Board of California for writing fraudulent prescriptions for Michael's sister, Janet.

Dr. Allan Metzger received a public letter of reprimand from the Medical Board in September, 2000. The letter states, "You engaged in fraudulent medical practice based on prescriptions written for an international entertainer, using a false/fictitious name." Dr. Metzger told us the entertainer is Janet Jackson.


Dr. Metzger is a lupus specialist -- Michael Jackson reportedly had the disease. Dr. Metzger traveled with Jackson during the HIStory Tour in 1996.

Dr. Metzger told us in the late 90s, he wrote prescriptions for Janet Jackson using the name of her private chef, Ricardo Macchi. Dr. Metzger told us the prescriptions were for diuretics. He also wrote a prescription for a hepatitis B injection -- he says he wrote it because Janet was going on tour and wanted to guard against the disease. Again, the name on the prescription was Ricardo Macchi, even though it was for Janet.

Dr. Metzger told us, "I had done this for Janet for her anonymity."

Macchi sued Dr. Metzger but the Dr. says the suit was dropped and no money was paid out.

As for Michael, Dr. Metzger says, "I have not treated Michael Jackson for many years." Metzger says he has talked to Jackson on the phone over the years, even giving him medical advice. As for whether Dr. Metzger prescribed meds for Jackson, he wouldn't say: "I am not at liberty to discuss Michael's medical care." We asked if he ever prescribed meds to Michael using an alias. His response: "I have not treated him for ages." Metzger said he last spoke with Michael in April. The doctor says he talked to Jackson about the tour, his children, nutrition and hydration.

Dr. Metzger added, "I have nothing to do with this tragedy with Michael. I have not prescribed any medication in relation to what happened to him."

Well the LAPD fucked up by calling it a day and let the jackson family come in the next day and move shit. god knows what was in there before the cops came back and started looking for drugs and needles. Murray and AEG aren't going to be charged with anything because of that.

The only Jacksons I've ever commented on are Janet and Michael. Your question implies they are linked in my mind. They are not. I group Janet more with people like Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez. They are non-entities elevated way above their station by circumstances.

MJ is totally separate. Unlike them, he was THE REAL THING! One of the greatest entertainers of the 20th century. A fantastic singer, who made some great recordings. And he had the uniqueness which to me is a hallmark of all true greats (although uniqueness by itself does not make you great).

However, we all know about the other side (self hatred, child molestation, and artistic decline). The problem is he has an army of fans who see red whenever you try to point out the other side.

I'm with you guys.

The thing is, even if we assume that he did this to himself as ehuff implies, that doesn't mean that he hasn't been victimized...the two scenarios are not mutually exclusive. I'm not inclined to speculate or condemn the guy...the man is gone, the investigations is ongoing and there's nothing productive to add about the nature of his problems right now.
