Former Jackson Bodyguard's Explosive Claims

Matt Fiddes, a former bodyguard of Michael Jackson, is opening up in new video footage about what he experienced when he worked with the King of Pop, and hints that Michael may have been in a relationship with a woman.

Fiddes speaks in the video at length about things he witnessed with Jackson associate and renowned paranormalist Uri Geller. "Uri confiscated injection equipment from his room and whisked it away, and Uri would scream intensely at Michael to stop doing this," Fiddes says.

Fiddes tells the interviewer that one morning "[Michael] was hard to wake." "We were extremely concerned," Fiddes says, continuing, "and I can remember it clearly now, Michael was there and Uri was shaking him saying, 'Michael, have you taken something?' and he would come round and just say it was jet lag."

The former bodyguard says, "As soon as we said anything and it got back to Michael, Michael would have a, you know, screaming fit that we were interfering with his private life."

Fiddes claims that Jackson missed an event because, as he puts it, "We couldn't get [Michael] in a state that would portray him in a good light."

But Fiddes also says that Michael had a "special person": "I think the family were aware there was a special person in his life who he loved and adored and had his ups and downs with and ... for some time I think she's been present in his life and I would hope that he found the happiness in that."

  • Everyone will be coming out of the woodwork now. I listen to Ryan White's Mother talking about Michael.White was the young kid who had Aids, and he and Michael became friends. She had such nice things to say about Michael. I do not believe Michael was a bad person, yes he had his faults, but let he who is without sin, cast the first stone. I can not believe that Michael is gone. It is hard to accept, but accept is what I must do. God makes no mistakes. He will be miss The world has lost a great performer, and I think we have lost a good hearted person.

  • .My take on reports by former employees on MJ are highly critical and damaging to the icon who, obviously ended tragically. Did these employees ever thought that those criticisms such as MJ wasn't in a state that would protray him in good light" could have lead to Michael changing his looks to satisfy the pressures from those who were around him that triggered all of the negative comments coming from his father when he was a kid. This is a sign that he listened to those around him not in a way that they liked but in a different and overly intensified his obsessions not for his looks but to give whatever he could give for the sake of their happiness. Obviously, these bodyguards who criticized him were white. Therefore, Michael was not defying their caring for him, but rather, had the desire to be like them and it is apparent that he was not inclined to use drugs but rather be looking like a white for the sake of giving in to his employees. Now that's not eccentricity, that is purely very much love and consideration for all those who were around him. Indeed, Michael suffered the consequences of physical pain and public scrutinies for his changing looks. He didn't do it for himself. He did it for others to be happy. This entire claims were not only stupid but narrow. MJ is not the shallow person on this perspective, but rather, gifted with love, sensitivity and deserves respect and honor for what he has done for us leaving us with music that not only created very unique and intelligent talents that were not only entertaining but also powerful. His change of looks and painful effects of them were the result of considering feedback from those who were in close proximity to him even though they are not necessary friends. Instead of screaming which I believe, he is not capable of, their negativity were returned with love through his music and his continued rounds of surgeries even though he suffered the pains both physically and emotionally. I do not think he should be called a Jacko at all mocking and bullying him until his last moments. Those who did and still do are extremely hurtful to his family who knew him and love him better than anyone else. So, those journalists better watch out their mouth and clear their minds of the usual cynicisms and treat this matter more differently from the rest. He should be known for unique way of showing love as well for having the strong ability and smarts to recognize boundaries to protect his children.

  • Wow!!! Shame on you....just want the publicity/money etc..... even if it is true....shame, shame, shame on you!!!!! That is a private matter that you were entrusted with as a member of his staff and now you just have to bash him. Are there not others who have difficulties with different areas in their life...he trusted you (and you were paid generously) to keep your mouth shut!!! It isn't even a matter of truth...it's a matter of common loyalty and decency dude! Obviously you are not a good person to say what you did! Really.... crawl under the rock you deserve to be under and take NBC with you since they continue to air slanderous and vilifying garbage! This would drive the best of us to……

  • I watched The Insider on CBS on July 1, 2009, in that episode they reported that they found the second boy who accused MJ of sexual abuse; he's 19 and has changed his name. Well what was mind blowing about that segment was that he's now telling the truth which is that Michael Jackson NEVER sexually abused him, it was all a lie made up by his mother to try to get money.

    Plus the first accuser has also come out saying that MJ never abused him.

    What I want to know is why the MEDIA isn't making the TRUTH headline news, the way they made those devastating LIES that destroyed him HEADLINE NEWS?

    Instead they rather further try to tarnish him by talking about his drug use which is sad, but is small compared to those molestation accusations.

    • The thing about the claims of sexual abuse against him were that even though he was acquitted of them, people, the media sensationalists continued to label him by making very obvious insinuations. But the man lived his life well..........he shared with the world what only he cud have given us!!!!!!!
      RIP Michael......... those people who tried to destroy this man and his reputation were bitter unhappy people who tried to make their lives by destroying his!!! Well, what goes around will come around.......

  • I am a woman who would have had a relationship with him. There is somebody for everyone and I believe he might have been a lovable person. I am so tired of people saying all this horrible stuff about him. He was a great entertainer and there will never be another like him. I love Michael! I miss him may he rest in peace!
