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."
