In the aftermath of Michael Jackson’s death, I found myself in a surreal situation that gave me a glimpse into the dark side of bloodsuckers, media and celebrity.
In those few hours, I saw a side of humanity that saddens me – where people try to take advantage of vulnerability, confusion, and grief for their own advantage. I realized that much of media has so much more to gain when they report salacious gossip, even in the aftermath of a tragic death like Michael’s. I also realized that all of us, myself included, who participate in the engagement of that media feed so-called journalists to do anything to get their information. In the end, personalities like Michael are portrayed as freaks and dysfunctional, people who love them are taken advantage of, and those seedy, washed out journalists profit.
I share my experience because it involves Grace Rwaramba, who served as the nanny to Michael’s three kids. Grace is more than my best friend – I refer to her as my sister, and she thinks of my parents as her own (she actually calls my father papa).
In the last day in the aftermath of Michaels death, recent quotes have surfaced about her life with Michael, as well as speculation about her role in potential custody battles for the three children.
Grace has read this article before I published it.
Michael had a pattern of letting those close to him in and out of his life, and Grace was no exception. Lisa Marie Presley’s reflection on her emotional relationship with Michael expressed beautifully the power Michael had with those he loved. Over the years, Grace faced a similar cycle of wanting to save him and being hurt by him. It was an endless cycle that seemed similar to those faced by friends and families of other addicts. Michael had a knack of surrounding himself with enablers, and avoiding people who wanted to help him like his family, real friends who cared deeply about him, Grace and my father, Deepak Chopra.
Daphne Barak, a so-called journalist who claims to be a friend of the Jackson family and who got to know Grace through them, has been cultivating a friendship with Grace over several years. Unfortunately, the story with Daphne and Grace seems to be one that echoes the vultures that took advantage of Michael throughout his life.
Daphne reached out to Grace a few weeks ago, when she knew she was in a vulnerable place, having recently been let go by Michael yet again (this was a regular pattern). In the 17 years that Grace has worked with Michael, she has never spoken to the press. She loves Michael and his children at her core.
Grace genuinely believed Daphne was her friend who was trying to help her. Daphne had offered to help Grace launch a foundation she was creating to monitor non profit work in Africa. (Grace was originally from Rwanda.) She told Grace that they should record her speaking about the work. However, every time they began to record, her questions would center on Michael. Grace would say she was uncomfortable speaking about him.
On the morning of June 26th, after finding out that Grace was also in London, I rushed to her hotel. She was staying in a suite with Daphne. Daphne told tell me she had invited Grace to stay with her in Switzerland as her guest, and how she had helped Grace with the immediate aftermath of shock hearing about Michael’s death. She said that she had spent several thousand dollars to buy a business class ticket for Grace to fly to LA. She boasted about how close she was to the Jackson family, world leaders, etc.
I witnessed Daphne act as a friend while trying to bait information from Grace on her conversations with Jackson family members and friends about his death. She warned Grace that the family was going to try to set her up for Michaels downfall, and that it was critical that Grace speak with a lawyer before leaving. As a friend, she had organized a “lawyer” to get Grace’s story before she left for the airport.
In essence, Daphne was setting up a scenario to garner more information from Grace before she left for LA. I discovered that one of her friends who happened to be there had made a documentary on Princess Diana.
When we tried to leave, Daphne screamed at Grace – in front of my young children who began to cry — that she was an ingrate. She had spent thousands of dollars hosting her, she was her guest, and she wanted to spend the time to say goodbye. (Daphne obviously could not believe her luck that she had baited Grace as a sympathetic friend for stories before he died, and had Grace with her on that sad day.)
Ultimately, Daphne, having obviously drunk a bit much, threatened to release the recordings she had made of their private conversations. Grace was petrified. I held her by the shoulders, looked in her eyes, and said lets just go. So what, let her put it out there. She is a washed up journalist trying to mine a tragic situation. Michael was gone now, and the future is the wellbeing of the children. Grace agreed.
Ultimately, I had to get the hotel manager involved to escort Grace out of the hotel. I also bought Grace’s ticket home myself, discovering that Daphne had misled us about the time and the price. It was a 650 Pound economy ticket, not several thousand dollars.
Twenty four hours later, I found that Daphne indeed had written an article full of quotes by Grace for a tabloid magazine. (A quick search of her other work not surprisingly shows she did a recent feature on Amy Winehouse.) Grace’s quotes are now being picked up by other tabloids and will find their way into more magazines and articles. (People Magazine is also featuring some today, including the inaccurate claim the Grace pumped Michael’s stomach several times. For the record, Grace never pumped Michael’s stomach. She has no idea how she would even do such a thing.) Which quotes are true, which are in context, (many are not) to me frankly doesn’t matter. I will not be surprised if Daphne releases audios or videos soon.
Grace feels used, insecure and shaken that she could have been so naïve, particularly having witnessed so many vultures in Michael’s world over the years. She made a mistake. The sad truth is that when you are a celebrity, or a close friend or family of one, in a world of tabloids, you must be impeccable in what you say and to whom. Michael probably faced the epitome of vultures, bloodsuckers and hanger-ons displayed in his endless cycle of managers, enabling doctors, and new business partners. How could anyone blame him for becoming so paranoid in his life?
In the article, Daphne tries to portray a rift between Katherine Jackson and Grace. This is not true.
I would like to go on record, with Grace’s permission, to say that Grace firmly hopes that the Jackson family gets custody of Prince, Paris and Michael. It would be detrimental to the children to be separated, and they should be with Michael’s family. They should know their grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, and they should learn about who he was as a person, not just as an icon. She has no interest in custody, and just wants the children to be happy and secure. She will be there for them whenever they need or want her.
As for the appetite for the salacious details of Michael’s life, my hope is that we let him go in peace. We already know he led a tortured life. He also led a great one in which he loved, and was loved, by many.
Let his family heal, and let his fans celebrate his music and his giving heart.
UPDATE: Statement by Grace Rwaramba Regarding Michael Jackson
Dear Mallika,
Thank you for sharing your personal experiences with Grace and those that tried to exploit her under the disguise of friendship. I don't think those actions will ever stop as long as there are newspapers, magazines and television that pay for such information, whether it is true or not. Money is god it seems. All we can do is join together and share our truths which you have done here with such love and warmth. The starts to wonder who to trust but the divine heart, our guides and angels know which direction is best for us. Many, maybe even most of us, have had the same experience before. We bless you all, we bless the children and pray that they do not carry on these pains, that they may still enjoy their childhood, which I know will happen as long as they hopefully have you, your brother and your father to associate with. May we all experience and become 'Peace through Strength' during these times. Blessings.. Shelina (and Gregory)
Dear Mallika
Your report on Grace Rwaramba is wonderful. I assume it is written with a great intent of framing Grace in a way she deserve after the actions of DB.
Yet what is the intent of what appears now to be the third publication from the Chopra family after the demise of Michael Jackson. Michael was an artist to most of us and he provided us with so much joy and hapiness through his music and dancing.
Proclaiming you know best what is for the Michael Jackson's children is only adding one opinion that looks fine, but is without merit and argument. I bet you've crossed a line with that statement – wha't's the merit of it. How does stating this in the media affect the kids' interests?
What games people play?
To me the intent from this stream of publication is not negatively questionable, but questionable nevertheless. Why is it neccesary that more than one member of the Chopra family was in on songwriting, that you are unheard-only-real-friends, etc.
Celebrity infection is often seen in the way people share the stories in the media, putting themselves one way or the other at the power-centre. Often it is only to define their own place in the celebrity networks. That is an asset worth power, inlfluence, persuasion and of cours bucks, lots of bucks.
It is a sad reflection of celebrity life that those who are celebrity appear to be thinking their opinions matter and can make a difference in real life.
Let's face it. Most of the reporting from so-called-friends and only-real-friends will not make a difference in real life of the folks surrounding Michael Jackson relatives including thei children.
These media-appearances will only resonate in publications. For you being part of the Chopra family, there is an additional risk – depending on outcomes or the noise you make or the way it can be amplified in unwanted ways you might even endanger the Chopra-reputation so carefully build by your father and his business-advisors/associates.
The intent that might make a difference in our real lives is the accusation by your father directed at many certified physicians who create addictions to prescritpion drugs/narcotics. I hope it will be addressed in the investigations and then by the media – so new ways of thinking about medication might emerge.
Just wonder what is wrong with disappearing behind closed doors. There is so much more delightfull work to do for the benefit of the dear people involved. The private matters of Michael's life are better not addressed by those who were close enough to know more than necessary to enjoy his art.
Live a great life of love and care.
cheers,
Rob Geurtsen
Dear Mallika,
I think that Michael Jackson having had friends like your father, brother and you and so many others. That Michael Jackson will rest in peace. Don
There are no coincidences. You were in London at exactly the right time to help your friend. Imagine how the Universe conspired to make all of that happen. Thank goodness for that!

After I read this article, I was driving to the local grocery store, and guess what, I heard on KCBS road about the stories "cooked" up by Daphne.
May MJ rest in peace. I would say that those who are trying to profit from this will not succeed in changing the truth. Look at the sales on Amazon for MJ's albums. They are all in the top 100 lists. Does it really make any difference even if people try to destroy his reputation?
So I think you shouldn't worry about this. You did your job by informing the world about your views. Now it's up to the world to decide for themselves.
Mallika, yes the curse of fame is that it can be a magnet for the forces of ego.
Michael did not experience death, only we did. When the body has died then there is no longer anything to separate us from them, and they have become fully one with us. Closer than ever before. Although we are sad in that we can no longer engage him, we can still know him, Michael is alive in our mind, he is within us, as he always was, simply now longer without.
I suppose then it was Michael that posted a comment on this Intent Blog thread in 2005. A very potent thread.

Thank you very much Mallika.
Dear Mallika
Thank you for sharing the story. Many would have fallen into believing Daphne cos 'con artist" journalist are blinded by greed and they fail to see how they make others suffer for their greed.
Grace is lucky to have u as a friend, and so are we to know what u have done to help.
Namaste!
Dear Mallika,
Thank you very much for sharing your love, understanding and compassion. May your message of truth to comfort , heal, and bless, continuously keep Only the sacred memories in our hearts.
Love and Blessings to the whole family to be left under the laws of God.
Truly,
Catherine Nagle
I must be naive, this is so shocking to me, and very sad…on so many levels I don't know where to begin! I feel sad for Grace and what she is going through but it wasn't her fault.
Wishing everyone involved some peace soon xxx

This is a lovely and heartfelt post and your truth and sincerity ring through Mallika. Michael was a brilliant and tortured man and at times I felt so torn when I heard about his court cases as it's at those times I realized that I allowed the media to influence who I knew he was.
He has made the transition and gone home now and is in utter peace. His children need to be protected and cared for now and I'm sure he was the epitome of the wonderful and loving father which he himself never had.
Love and blessings to all.
I do not know you, Mallika Chopra, is for the first time i hear about you, or about Grace (but i know a lot about poor Rwanda)… I understand how much these things may affect you and I want to write my thoughts, addressed to any who judge him (i don't use to write on blogs, but i am a bit upset on the situation and I have to do it).
If some really want to know the inner part of Michael Jackson, there is my advice: listen to his songs, and concentrate on the lines, try to understand them well, their obvious and hidden meaning… some are deep in meaning. Don't forget that he was writing his lines. I write poems sometimes, not often, only when I feel something or I have thoughts that I want to lay down and discharge my heart or mind. Because of my experience (and i am sure many experience the same), I know that no one can write such beautiful lines unless he/she feels them. And I am sure Michael was no different since – after all – he is human being like any of us.
SO, listen "Man in the mirror" or "Heal the world" or Black or white" and so many others!!! I was never his fan in the true meaning of the word (i was never fan of anyone, just enjoyed good music), but my opinion about him was build up by the lyrics of his songs and not by the media gossips.
Besides!! Even here, in Romania he founded a house for orphan children… probably he did many things like this throughout the world… doesn't this mean something? There is the real Michael also (the one that matches withe the lyrics he wrote too).
First thought when Michael died (i found out 2 days after only, because i didn't had time to watch the news) was: "My God, I hope u gave him the chance to be with you!" And since that day I am troubled at this thought a bit… I hope from all my heart that God balanced the good things he did and the sensitive heart he had and now he enjoys eternal happiness. There is nothing i can do but pray.. at least this for the sensitive songs he recorded and i got to listen them when I need to express myself sometimes.
AND!!! why do we care about the mistakes he did or not did after all? Did his personal life affected us in any way? Why we have to dig up his private life? How would we feel if others would do to us the same about our private life!? And I am sure we all have things about us that we don't want people to find out about! Which of us is as perfect as to point out with the finger towards other?? Why do we have to be mean? The interest for sensational and "hidden secrets" is dangerous to our souls because it may lead us to "find" "the truth" there where it isn't actually!
And… why don't we put ourselves in the place of his family? How we would feel if our our brother, our sister, our father, our little baby CHILD… our friend died???? How would we love for people to remember the dear one we lost? How would we love for the world to act towards our pain?
Why don't we act like we'd love others to act with us?
Tears want to come into my eyes when i think how much he suffered in his life, how many mean things he had to stand up, when i think how he died (and not because he died… maybe he is better there!)… i feel to cry when i think how his family and friends suffer! It is a very difficult situation for them, I know and understand this so well… poor of them! I just hope God sees them (no matter what religion they have, because i heard people judging him for that too). God is only one and the same, no matter of which religious organization we belong too… and God sees first our hearts and not what we claim to be.
These are just my thoughts, I wish I could do more for those who suffer… but I am limited to my human condition… all I can do is to pray and hope.
Now… for all who are in pain for any reason, there is a legacy he left: "With a child's heart" and "There must be more to life then this". Go and listen and try to understand (I don't know exactly if these lines are written by him, but he sings them so beautiful, u can see he lived the words while singing).
Don't disturb your inner peace with ugly things and thoughts! Don't bring mess to your conscience, people, if you want to be happy!
Me, I will always remember him as that cute little black child (even though i wasn't even born then)
!
These "journalist" vultures are sad, sad, sad, and pathetic. I don't know they can even look at themselves in the mirror after an entire day of profiting off other people's misery in such a shameless, unempathetic way. Thank you, Mallika, for telling us your side of the story. Between listening to such an angry and manipulative woman as DB and someone like you, there's zero competition on who is the more trustworthy source.
"I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves." Matthew 10:16
Having lived for 6+ decades on this earth, I still find it easier to be innocent than shrewd/cautious, and from what I have read it seems that Michael Jackson had a similar challenge. Yet caution and discernment are needed in this world where the evolving animal has not yet become fully human. Grace, too, seems to have run smack dab into this lesson. May she take this experience and squeeze the juice out of it as she grows in love, discernment, and power.
Thank you, Mallika, for attempting to set the story straight.
Blessings to all.
Mallika,
Mean people are debased on a core level. Having been an addict, having adult children and parents, etc. caught in the grip of addiction has given me a bit of perspective on the subject. Addicts are generally artistic, creative people caught in the grip of personal demons. Period.
It is unfortunate that a vulture is circling, but that is what is.
My friends and I have discussed Grace often. We hope that she remains a fixture in the children's lives.
Will pray for all parties involved.
Namaste'
Out beyond the idea of right=doing and wrong=doing there is a field. I'll meet you there. Rumi, Sufi poet
If the motive "behind" the story-teller pretending to be a journalist is not true and pure of heart,then the article, its contents, are then not pure or true. Therefore why would I want to read any un-true stories comng from her sales-promotion life-style. We must focus on the children, yours, michaels all kids in distressed situations and their well-being for all of us must feel assured that another child is not polarized by the actions of hidden, and un-true motives of others. As a veteran of war I defended free-speech, freedom of the presses and honor such practices, however ,if it is false-speech, placed in the presses then I and my fellowship did not defend with our wounds for this as a concept to be acceptable in a growing and educational world seeking trust with truth, without sword and stealth. Stay strong, as your in our meditations during this transition. I remain, VR+ jim googolmath.
Hi,
I've read your posts, as well as your family members, and I must say that your words are comforting in the sense that you bring up the seemingly impossible (in a good way). After all MJ has been through, he was still caring, compassionate, and had the love of GOOD family & friends. With the way media talks about his life, I was actually miserable over the fact that he had been an underdog his entire life with no one to love him, extend a hug, or share a laugh with.
Now, I know his life (as well as most of our lives) have their own set of issues….But it's great to hear that he did have some joys. That is a blessing within itself. Please tell your friend Grace that even when all of this mess hits the fan, like everything else, the gossip will turn to old news, and then the media will be on to the next thing. The best thing to do now is be the best friend and family supporter she can be during this time. I pray all of you handle the tough times as best as you all can.
Kindest Regards,
Clarice
Thank you for this insightful article which demonstrates the wicked web fame & celebrity weaves. I commend Grace for being a loyal employee over such a long period of time, and not caving to the immense pressures placed upon her as someone closest to one of the world's most famous figures.
My mother is a prescription drug addict/alcoholic. She also has borderline personality disorder as a result of an abusive childhood. I have great compassion for Grace and all of those in Michael's inner circle, as I know my situation is not further exacerbated by fame, power & fortune as it is in their case. It is incredibly difficult to live life with or around an addict – period.
When will Rx drug abuse end? It affects my life, it affects people I know, it takes away some of the world's biggest talent. It breaks my heart. I applaud your father for being open & honest about what he knew of Michael's addiction – he clearly was someone who tried to help. It must be brought to light and discussed if we ever want it to change.
May God bless Grace & keep her safe. And may she be a positive, loving figure in the lives of 3 children who need her now more than ever.
Well said Sista,
my sentiments exactly.
What a divine friend , mother, wife, and daughter you must be.

Greetings Mallika ~
Many thanks for your words of truth regarding Michael and clearing up the rumors of the role Grace played in his life. Michael and his children are very fortunate to have people as yourself and Grace looking out for their well being. Michael is an eternal flame, never to be extinguished. God love and rest his sweet soul.
Thanks again, Mallika ~ Gordon
This article is great. I found it linked off People.com. I love how bluntly you wrote, pulling no punches. Good job! Thanks for having the guts to post it.
- Donny -
PS: Obviously I've heard of your dad but I finally purchased one of his books just yesterday for my Kindle. I'm looking forward to reading it.
Mallika, tell Grace that we her Ugandan raised Rwandese sisters are praying for her daily ….. we understand her actions of love and love committment to Micheal and the kids. Her devotion in stewardship which we are taught as girls in our traditions doesnt culturally translate in a western society, and it is for this that she is being taken advantage of. Encourage her to stand true and firm to her committment and beliefs……. Imana (Ruhanga) is with her….say for us "humura humura"….
And thank you for being such a true friend to her at this time. Me, and many others survivors of betrayal from close quarters, are grateful to you.
With lots of love and warm hugs to Grace.

Dear Mallika,
your blog brought the memory of a quote from Richard Bach:
"Live never to be ashamed if anything you do or say is published around the world
I think the notion that a nanny would start lecturing and interfering with her boss' life makes any boss uncomfortable. However much she thought it was her place to lecturer or help etc i think her approach may have created a negativity from MJ.
Let me also say that all these statements are hear says from people who say there close to him. His trainer said that the man was so fit so did the dancers who danced with him etc – i doubt that he was abusing medication as his "close friends" would like to put it. I think he may have taken more than he had to under the new doctor's help but the man was health from all accounts and from his insurance records. I personally don't buy that crap. I think maybe some of these people wanted to get even closer and he just let them go because of that. Grace may have wanted more from him…i am just saying that he is not here to defend himself and hearsays are just hearsays. It all doesnt add up to someone addicted to anything. I have seen many people who are addicted – it does not add up.
MICHAEL REST IN ETERNAL PEACE AND ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF GOD BECAUSE YOU HAD A GOOD HEART AND SOUL. WE LOVED YOU AND PRAY FOR YOUR SPIRIT AS YOU MOVE ON TO THE NEXT PHASE. GOD BLESS YOU MICHAEL
Mallika,
Grace sounds like a pretty cool lady. I hope she keeps her integrity around the years she spent with MJ. It may be difficult to resist hopefully you & your family can help her with that.
Keep the peace,
Tom
I am a very rich handsome young man, I love you both and I would love to marry you and make you happy after this loss you need some one to smoothen it out.
MM
Integrity shall stand tall and the gift of "Grace" shall prevail.
Starshine
It is surprsining level of insensitivity shown by media in projecting celebs and their loved ones in skewed distorted images and doing character assassination in myriad ways just to enhance their own sellability………completely forgetting the fact that they are 'normal' human beings with normal desire of loving and having others as much as desiring reciprocal love and respect……..rather than treating them as golden statues standing in soptlight, at whom anyone can hurl stone of any kind at any time in any fashion…That is unfair!
I think there should be some restriction imposed at media about discussing private lives of people.
May God give strength to aggrieved family and distressed loved ones in this time of trial!
Speaking of bloodsuckers, I don't understand why if Deepak knew so much about Michael, and all of Michael's drug interactions, that Deepak did absolutely nothing to help. Is that a true friend?
If nothing else, he could have spent time telling the press and public what Michael's problems were before they led to his death. As it is, it seems he did nothing. And now that Michael is dead, and all the cameras are on, did Deepak mention anything about these problems in the past, while whoring about that he was a "brother" to Michael. No sir, you were no brother … you were just another enabler, and one seeking the camera, just like those others you've accused of pushing the drugs. No, you didn't push the drugs, but you knew about and did absolutely nothing about it. That's even worse.
And stop stealing your philosophy from Castaneda … "intent" indeed, along with all your other philosophical insights — all stolen.
Jeff
very well spoken Jeff. My exact sentiments..i don't get how the man is everywhere in the media when he clearly did nothing.
"…That means that it is in our own power to choose to stay free of the whole drama."
Inside our own drama experience, sometimes, it is very difficult to free ourself out of it. We don't see any path of freedom… we have tried fake paths without success. After a long period of drama and hope, the drama itself become the true-reality of life, anything else is part of the dreaming sphere only, for the dreamers.
To stay free of the whole drama in a dramatic-society, well, you better have a clear vision of you, if not, you'll easily fall back in the social-drama.
But anyway, you are right Aurora… well I have the feeling it is possible at least to jump out of the drama and to remember yourself without it.
The need "to jump", often comes after the deep disgusted-feeling of the drama dead end; the only thing that will result in this drama is finally to flush it from yourself.
Nice to read you Aurora… yes really nice to read you again. Love.
Without reading all that has been written.. My thoughts and feeling from the very beginning
are that we keep spirits and souls earthbound with continuous attention … this is not
fair to the souls; nor to the planetary energy… Namaste
It's good to see you too, Jean-Francois, and I hope to read more of your beautiful poetry soon
And yes… I think it is good to remind ourselves and each other that we don't have to let the drama rule. So keep "jumping", dear friend!
Thank you for writing this – for telling us about Grace.
I was looking all over the net for information. I knew so much was false. I just wanted to know those kids had thier nanny and family there to care.
I am so deeply moved by Michael and his children's story. I was never a "fan" in any sense, but I am one now… I would have wanted to "save" him too from whatever hurt or was self-destructive, and make it all better. I want to know it will be all better for his kids too.
Thank you for this article. It's still difficult to believe what is true from where.
I will always remember Michael's big heart, Heal The World, and music. All my best to Michael's children and everyone.
You seem to be a true friend and I empathize with how the bloodsuckers must make you feel. It must be so hurtful when someone who doesn't know the facts, misrepresents the life of someone you loved simply to make themselves appear more important. I thought it was dreadful of Deepak Chopra to talk about drug use before the results of the autopsy, the funeral or any word from the Jackson family – on Larry King Live no less. Michael's true friends begged him to stop during one particularly egregious interview, but the limelight is apparently too strong for that superficial and deceitful moth. My heart goes out to you. Thank you for speaking out against bloodsuckers such as he.
Mallika, tank you for sharing this, i was so confused about all I read on the Internet. I had this good impression about Grace, I had this feeling she was a good person as you are too. So, I tried and tried and here I am, I found you blogg at last. And it was amazing wath You have writed. Tnak you. Is so fantastic to found someone wo is clean, good and spkeaks the true. I am portuguese, I have books written by your father.
God bless you and your friend Grace.

As I have said before, if you really cared about Micheal damn't you would have stopped him. Read my previous posts under rkhullar1 and Rajesh Khullar for details.
First of all i would like to send my condolences to the Jackson family and telling them to be strong. I would have to believe that most of Michael Jackson's most ardent fans would not be interested in seeing their idol's autopsy photo. Personally, I would consider it to be an indignity. Though I am not a devoted fan, I like Michael Jackson a lot, so, started collecting all the information related to him (more than 200 sites). If you are interested check out the below article

http://markthispage.blogspot.com/2009/07/what-wil…
Hello Mallika,
thank you for sharing this with us. I've been a devoted MJ fan for over 30 years. I still cannot fully accept he's no longer with us……such a wonderful, loving, sharing, kind and gererous person. I'm trying to understand who he really was which is difficult because I find so much lies about him it's hard to find out what the truth is. So thank you for sharing this info about how Grace's story got into the tabloids. Please give her my love and let her know I'm very grateful she's been taking so good care of MJ and his family. I understand the pain she's in and how difficult it has been with MJ …….he was a very strong character and I guess once his mind was set at something, he wouldn't accept no for an answer…ending up hurting the people who really love him and care.
No matter what I read…I will always remember Michael's smile and his beautiful voice and all of the good things he's done and is still doing thru his legacy….his music and inspiration to all of us.
God bless you and your family

Dear Malika .,
Michael was physically sick with lupus, vitiligo and mentally hurt by emotional and physical abuse. He lost all his fine thick hair due to burns and lupus. Many of us would have curled up in a ball and complained.
Michael worked from the age of five until the day he was killed. .Michael worked producing a product so excellent in all aspects the whole world took notice. Who would have guessed how sick he was physically?Some mocked said he was faking for attention etc. But now we know that they were a small minority. a myopic ,mocking, illiterate, envious, section of the media.
His death brought an outpouring of grief never before seen save for the death of Princess Diana his friend.Personally I am yet to recover from the shock and hurt his sudden death caused me.I disagree with you that he lived a tortured life.He was visible ,rich and targeted but he was strong.His strength came from the fact that he was a pure soul good at heart and innocent.This he used to ride the waves of attacks.He was coming back because now the children were ready at least the first two and Blanket had them .Michael knew what he was doing as a father , as a musician , as a businessman as an entertainer as an artist.He was wise beyond his years because he read and thought and because he was sensitive .
I wrote this in response to St Johns article.I am struggling to get over this death as if he were a family member…..
Interesting viewpoint more so because it bears the ring of truth.But our support systems given to us within the context of the family often fail us .They have their own lives .They get busy and think we are okay. They don"t want to intrude for all kinds of reasons .
So what about us on the outside of the family support systems?What about community leaders,friends,pastors,Imams,.mentors, elders ,mother and father figures in the community.
It is interesting that you cited the interviews with Oprah Winfrey in 1993 at the start of this article.Millions turned to the Internet sites to gain solace from them,but they were removed apparently wiped by Harpo -citing copyright laws.
This led the discourse to the silence of Ms. Winfrey on the death of Michael Jackson. and the discussion is raging.Facebook bloggers About.com etc are expressing concern that Ms Winfrey has kept silent on Michaels' death.One blogger is counting the days of silence.
I think this omission will be eternally written and spoken about .The die has been cast .Action speaks louder than words.
Shakespeare had Brutus say after the assassination of Caesar the following:
"There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries".
We have seen another "Ceasar" die . at the hands of treachery-None the least of which are the voices which are not raised to mourn ,acknowledge and acclaim his greatness at his death .

Remember and play his music if you want..it was pretty good but don't for get what an absolute failure as man he was. He dies a whiny drug addicted loser.. Save your sorrow for someone worthy
