Two close bodyguards of the “king of pop” Bill Whitfield and Javon Beard have revealed the “shocking” secrets of the famous Michael Jackson during the last half year of his life.

The two bodyguards were on duty almost 24/7 following their boss’s every move, so they saw everything, knew everything, and were loyal and affectionate, calling their “idol” by the intimate name Michael Jackson. So much so that when Jackson’s finances went into crisis, the two bodyguards did not receive their salaries for four consecutive months.

In their book, the two bodyguards reveal the time they spent with the “king of pop” and recount the secrets Jackson suffered from, such as loneliness and sadness until the end of his life.

“He was really eccentric,” they said. “He would go into stores and buy everything. When he was in a hotel, he would buy thousands of books, sometimes 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.

Jackson also had another “eccentric” hobby: hoarding hundreds of bottles of Tabasco sauce, dancing alone until 4am the next morning.

In the scorching Las Vegas summer sun, Jackson dressed like a cyclist with a helmet, sometimes exposing his skin, sometimes with duct tape on his face.

Two close bodyguards said that the singer of Heal the world once had a “romantic” relationship with two secret women.

Jackson was accused of child molestation in 2005 but was later acquitted. However, his reputation has suffered greatly since then after such court appearances.

“Jackson is a good man and we wouldn’t be so loyal to him if we had any doubts,” Bill said. “He wouldn’t want to hurt a fly.”

Jackson’s children, Prince, 17, Paris, 16, Blanket, 12, and he often go out wearing masks and calling each other strange names. Jackson goes by the name Wacko Jacko.

“Michael Jackson did not install Internet in his home. His children did not watch TV regularly and did not know what Jackson was like outside,” said bodyguard Javon.

Therefore, the “King of Pop’s” “children” have a sad and boring life. They do not have much contact with the outside world, the only people they contact are bodyguards and nannies, and they do not even need to go to school because they have tutors at home.

However, the two bodyguards affirmed that Jackson was a good man, a great father from feeding the children, reminding them to do their homework until they fell asleep.

The shocking details revealed are even more astonishing because they are beyond imagination. Stores and cinemas will be closed so that the “King of Pop” and his children can shop or watch movies without being disturbed. Everywhere he goes, security must be tight, and anyone who wants to meet him must have their phone kept outside.

However, Jackson suffered from paranoia, always thinking he was unsafe, he often checked the locks in the house himself.

“We serve Michael Jackson, not the King of Pop,” Javon and Bill shared. “Jackson’s life was quite chaotic, not what we know outside of his fame. His happiest times were probably when he was with his children.”

Michael died in 2009 at his home in Los Angeles at the age of 50 from an overdose of painkillers.

Dr. Conrad Murray was convicted of attempted murder and sentenced to four years in prison.

The two loyal bodyguards tried to contact Jackson’s children when they moved in with the Jackson family after his death, but a year after their phone conversation, the two bodyguards lost contact with them.

“I miss them,” said Bill. “I hope the book will encourage them to come closer to us.”
