Michael Jackson ‘resurrected’ on Billboard stage
Michael Jackson had a secret lover in Europe

Michael Jackson’s life in the last 3 years of his life is recounted in the autobiography of his two bodyguards, Bill Whitfield and Javon Beard. The two bodyguards loved and trusted the King of Pop very much. Even when Michael was so financially exhausted that he could not pay his salary for 4 months, Bill and Javon were still willing to serve without a single complaint.

“We worked for Mr. Jackson, not for the King of Pop,” the two bodyguards said. “We treated him like a normal man and a father. He was a very attentive father, from helping the children with their homework to taking care of their meals and putting them to bed.”

However, the bodyguards also noticed many unusual characteristics of the Thriller singer . Bill wrote: “He must be an eccentric person. He can go to a store and buy everything. When we stay in hotels, he often buys thousands of books. At one point, Michael bought a whole bookstore.”

Whenever he travels, Michael often carries a silver suitcase containing two Oscar statuettes from the classic film Gone with the Wind . He bought these two statuettes at an auction in 1999, the first one for $1.5 million and the second for thousands of dollars.

His bodyguards said he had a penchant for hoarding hundreds of bottles of Tabasco sauce. He danced alone until 4 a.m., kept a personal diary to schedule appointments with family members, and was always dressed up when he went out. In the heat of the Las Vegas summer, he could dress like a cyclist, complete with a leather jacket and a helmet that covered his head or covered his face with tape.

Michael wore a face mask as he entered a store in Las Vegas.

Michael’s three children also have to wear masks when going out. Bodyguard Javon said: “The children all know this rule. They know to cover their faces and call each other by nicknames in public.”

Michael’s children’s lives are completely closed and very lonely. The children do not even know that their father is a famous pop star. Javon shared: “His house does not have an Internet connection. The children do not often watch TV, so they have never seen images of their father in the media.” Apart from contact with tutors, nannies and bodyguards, Michael’s 3 children have no friends.

When Michael takes his children shopping or to the movies, toy stores and theaters may temporarily close so that his family is not disturbed. Employees are searched thoroughly and asked to put away their cell phones.

At Michael’s mansion, the bodyguards always had to be on guard with weapons at their sides. However, Michael was so paranoid that he always personally checked to see if the door was locked. Bill said that although he was always ready to take down any intruder, he and the other bodyguards had to hide their guns so that Michael’s children could not see them.

In their autobiography, the two bodyguards believe that Michael did not sexually molest boys as they were accused of. “I’m a father too and I wouldn’t work for him if I had any doubts. He wouldn’t even hurt a fly,” Javon said.

In the years before his sudden death, Michael dated a European woman nicknamed Friend, his bodyguards revealed. “They used to make love in the back of a limo with the curtains drawn. I didn’t want to interrupt them,” Javon said. After Friend left, another girl named Flower arrived. However, the bodyguards said Michael would not marry again: “He was always happiest when he was with his children.”
