Even though the world has said goodbye to Michael Jackson, the lingering suspicion is now linking his longtime friend Elizabeth Taylor to his alleged prescription-drug overdose. Sources told The Daily Beast that Taylor influenced Jackson to take multiple prescription drugs introducing him to doctor Arnold Klein -- the same doctor whom she's since revealed prescribed her multiple medications including Dilaudid and Ativan, the first a powerful opiate that street users dub "the Bentley of heroin" and the latter a tranquilizer. According to a source familiar with Taylor's medical history, she sought help from at least two doctors to counter her growing drug dependence, the online blog reported. At one point, another former doctor demanded she come clean on her entire prescription history and found out Taylor was using multiple prescriptions, many of which were prescribed by Klein.
Medical insiders told The Daily Beast that Jackson began using some of the same pain and sleeping pills as Taylor shortly after Dr. Klein started treating Jackson for for vitiligo (which causes depigmentation and patchiness in the skin.) Klein served as a cosmetic dermatologist and later introduced Jackson to one of his nurses, Debbie Rowe. Rowe later married Jackson and was the surrogate mother for his first two children. On Wednesday, Klein appeared on ABC's 'Good Morning America' and said he had sedated the pop star in the past for painful medical procedures but had never given him dangerous sedatives like Propofol to use. "I was not one of the doctors who participated in giving him overdoses of drugs or too much of anything. In fact, I was the one who limited everything, who stopped everything," Klein said. Klein acknowledged that he was concerned about Jackson because he knew whatever he wanted, he could always find someone to give it to him.
The shared relationship between Jackson, Taylor and Klein continued all the way to the days before Jackson's death. Klein said he saw Jackson three days before he died on June 25 said he saw nothing to make him worry. "He danced in my office," he said. "He danced for my patients." The founder of The National Photo Group revealed to The Daily Beast that he assigned a photographer to follow Jackson for the past few years and that Jackson was constantly spotted making two to three trips a week to Klein's Beverly Hills building, staying for anywhere from 30 minutes to five hours. A Los Angeles Police spokesman refused to confirm or deny whether Dr. Klein was one of the five physicians reportedly the subject of their Jackson investigation. Neither Dr. Klein nor his attorney would comment. Michael Jackson's official death certificate lists the singer's cause of death as "deffered", while results of toxicology tests are still pending
Sure, blame it on the white lady.
Did anyone else find it interesting that Liz and Diana both were no shows at the funeral? Also, is it just me or did the oldest son go from a white kid in all the internet pictures to a mulatto or something at the funeral?
I noticed that all the children had their skin darkened.
I thought the same with the girl but she’s always been a shade darker than the brothers. Yeah, there’s some statement being made. The dermatologist now says he’s not the daddy so maybe they’re trying to play off that MJ was. Not that I keep up with such things but it’s hard to turn on the tv without being bombarded with it.
That baby he dangled over the hotel balcony was WHITE WHITE WHITE. His little legs moving in fear.
The entire family is exploitative and clearly insane.
JMO
Miss Taylor has had a difficult life.
She was beaten and abused by every husband(save John Warner)she ever had.
Her life has been glamorous and exciting, but also very, very sad.
The Jackson fellow? No comment.
Nobody knows what goes on in a marriage but the two involved.
With that being said, I would be very, very surprised if Mike Todd, Eddie Fisher, or Richard Burton beat Taylor. If the truth be known, I suspect SHE beat Eddie Fisher.
Abuse is in the eye of the beholder. I think she is so self-absorbed that she considers anything other than complete and total worship as abuse.
These Hollyweirders live in a totally different world.
Every person you name beat her.
The media was much more obnoxious in discussing Rush Limbaugh’s own addiction to prescription drugs.
Even at the White House correspondents’ dinner, Wanda Sykes said that Rush should drop dead and discussed his “doping” habits. She talked about Obama’s own use of tobacco but skipped over refrences to his admitted pot and cocaine abuse.
The dermatologist said that “to his knowledge” he isn’t the daddy.
What kind of answer is that?
If Elizabeth Taylor was enabling MJ it wouln’t suprise me a bit seeing how they all think he was something ‘special’ regardless of how ‘sick’ he was.
I am sure she was. She probally just thought his drug use was apart of what made MJ sensitive and ‘special’.
This is the left-wing mindset to celebrate all that is dsyfunctional and corrupt and hold it up in our society as something ‘special’.
Just to add.... to my thoughts above....
They all make me sick! ET and MJ.
I can still remember as if it were yesterday when Eddie Fisher dumped Debbie Reynolds for Liz. I was really a Debbie Reynolds fan and really felt sorry for her!
