Janet Jackson proclaims that the family tried to help Michael get help with his prescription drug addiction.
Janet stated in a recent interview with ABC News that she recognized her brother’s addiction and tried to help him but he would not admit that it was a problem.
Janet claims that she and her family tried to get him help and intervene with the addiction, but it didn’t help. “That’s what you do when you love someone. A few times. We just weren’t successful” She commented.
“You can’t make them drink water. I’m a true believer in prayer, a big believer in prayer, but it’s something that you can’t do for them. Something they have to do for themselves.” the 43 year old stated.
When the question came up of Jacko in denial she replied with “Possibly, I wish he could answer this question for you and not me. I felt that he was in denial.” She added about Michael’s death “It’s still so difficult for me to believe. It’s, you know, you have to accept what it is. But it’s hard. You have to move on with your life. You have to accept what is and I understand that.”
The singer mentioned that she blames her brother’s death on the Physician Dr. Conrad Murray who administered the anesthetic drug that was given to the King of Pop just shortly before his death on June 25, 2009. Janet believes that Dr. Murray should not be allowed to practice medicine ever again.
Janet Jackson Says Family Tried To help Michael
I call this a case of “oh well.” No one is to blame but Michael himself, if you can even blame. Addiction is powerful disease, and there are times when there is nothing one can do to help someone who doesn’t want or acknowledge there is a proble. Unfortunately the doctor who last administered medication to Michael is going to pay for years of Michael Jackson’s abuse and the other physicians who were a large and integral part of his addiciton to pain meds.
To whom it may concern Michael Jackson went the crossroads. When he saw that sign Don’t Stop Until You Get Enough which is the title to one of his songs,Michael never looked back because he was afraid.
Michael payed the ultimate price for the demons that haunted his life. I feel it started when he was young and continued on. Addiction was the way to escape it all. He will forever be loved and admired for the man he was.
In the past several months since Michaels death, I have read some pretty cold hearted messages about him, and the circumstances of his addiction. Michael wasn’t ALL to blame. If NO DOCTORS would have made the medication that shouldn’t even be out of the hospital,, available to him, he would NOT have had it in his possesion in the first place. But they were made available to him and administered to him. A person with an addiction is ALWAYS knocking on deaths door, but in this case,,,,the door was left wide open and he was lead in like a kid to a candy store. My heart hurts for him, for his children who adored him, his mom and sisters and yes even his dad. I was always taught that if you have nothing nice to say, then just don’t say anything at all. Myyy what a different generation we live in today. People have no empathy and it’s pretty damn scary.
God bless Michael, may he rest in peace and may other people who have addictions learn from this. (It can happen to ANYBODY). God bless his children who will one day have to see all the haters out there who’s momma never taught them any kind of empathy, manners, let alone respect for people dead or alive. May God forgive all of you with nothing nice to say. Your life must be sooo perfect.(not).
Dear I’mjustsayin I couldn’t have said it any better!!
I agree with you 150%!!!!! Bless you!
The current spin being put on Evan Chandler’s death in the press is that he killed himself because he was ‘destroyed’ by the lack of justice his family had received. It is naive to imagine this is anything less than calculated damage limitation, designed to deflect the possible questions and fall-out that Chandler’s synchronous death represents. Inevitably, Diane Dimond has been wheeled out to promote this fallacy and it is presently doing the rounds in the American and British press. The unimaginable trauma to both Michael and Jordan’s psyches that Evan’s deception set in motion can be seen in the consequences of today. I hope Jordan will be left alone to deal with this turn of events. He was brutalized by Evan for much of his young life and we must have compassion for him. Whatever secrets are or are not revealed in the years to come, Michael is free now. It is his children, his family, and us who are left to grieve for what could have been – and the great wrong that was done.
