"There is no other way to say it," Dimond tells "The Insider." "He has admitted to being a substance abuser. He went into rehab and talked about that."
Dimond says that back in 1993, "I was interviewing people from Neverland, people close to his entourage, and they all said he had a drinking problem. Drugs were mentioned, but those didn't come until later.
According to Dimond, Jackson had surgery for skin cancer last week and she speculates that following surgery he got pain pills.
"I have heard sources tell me that Michael Jackson has taken meth, heroin and cocaine. I don't know. I can't confirm that," she says.
Dimond also predicts that there will be a custody hearing for the three children -- Prince Michael Jackson I, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II -- who she says were in the house during Jackson's medical emergency.
"These children should be top-of-the-mind for everybody," she adds.
