Michael Jackson’s Family ‘Attempted Drugs Intervention’
Michael Jackson was an alcoholic who abused prescription drugs — and his family attempted an intervention in Las Vegas, it was claimed today.
According to People magazine, as far back as 2006, members of the Jackson family feared that Wacko’s escalating dependence on prescription drugs had become a danger to his life.
“The family believes Michael is addicted,” a source told the mag. “There was an intervention in Las Vegas. Janet was on the phone, but Randy, Jackie and Rebbie were there in person,” the source said, referring to several of Michael’s eight siblings.
“Michael got p—ed off. He said he wasn’t on drugs. But they didn’t believe him.”
At the time of the Vegas intervention, another source close to the family blamed a Jackson aide for supplying the superstar with drugs from prescriptions acquired from multiple doctors.
“[The aide] has contacts wherever they are,” said the source, adding that Jackson took “straight morphine, Demerol and opiates like Oxycontin. He also takes Valium and Xanax.
“Michael is a clinically functioning addict and these are the most dangerous,” the source continued. “They stop and start. These are the ones that OD … It could happen any minute.”
Jackson, 50, died Thursday after suffering an apparent cardiac arrest at his home in Los Angeles.
Jackson had three children — Michael Joseph Jackson Jr, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince Michael Jackson II.
Recent reports have suggested Jackson overdosed on a painkiller called Demerol, which is similar to morphine.
Jackson’s body has been flown to the L.A. County Coroner’s Office. His autopsy is scheduled to take place Friday.
It has also been reported that Jackson passed a recent physical, and his death is to be investigated by police.
Brian Oxman, the Jackson family attorney, told CNN that the superstar had a very serious problem with prescription medication, and that the people that were surrounding him were enablers. “If you think the case with Anna Nicole Smith was an abuse, it’s nothing in comparison to what we have seen taking place in Michael Jackson’s life,” Oxman said.
