I was just about to start a topic on this. ! I sat and watched this entire interview (and I plan on going back to review it) But you know what.........I get sooooo angry at Ophra because she spent quite a bit of minutes interviewing Janet about  MJ I was like dam!~Go ahead and discuss the movie.

For some reason it seems that they are trying to convince or (based on Ophrah's behavior)people that MJ was this TOTAL DRUGGIE!! I could not believe when Tyler stepped in! Speaking on Janet's behalf!! I was like WoW!!

Tyler kept saying the Jackson's tried really really hard to help MJ and Ophrah was like "Yeah but its not that easy when you have money and power like MJ" I guess the Jacksons' have been getting negative comments regarding MJ's supposed drug addiction?

Like Ophrah just kept pushing the drug issue which totally pissed me off!! :evil: I mean maybe I am in denial but I just dont' see MJ as this Crazy Desperate Druggie! I just don't! Your thoughts on this?

Has anyone picked up on Janet's behavior in this interview it was kinda hard for me to analyze her in this one. :?

thanks so much for that posting

i was really searching her face she is not telling the whole truth, i think she gave up on mike, why didnt she help him, why did she walk out,

oprah i think was very strong on this, you could see that she had been there and done that and by contrast you tell that she fell short.

Is it possible for someone to post the entire interview? I would like to see it.

I can't believe Janet would be the one to betray Michael.   But she has been voicing these same or similar sentiments every time she's asked about Michael.  This is a bit distressing to me since she says they were so close as children. A family's dirty laundry would be better served being aired out at home.  Keep your family's personal business out of the streets.  Before long we'll be seeing headlines again screaming Michael was a druggie who died because he just couldn't say no.  Way to go Janet. :?

First the family didn't know about the drugs, then they intervened, then they didn't, then they saw it coming, etc.
I really don't believe the intervention Janet keeps talking about.  I remember in the first interview she gave with Roberts, she looked away when she mentioned it.  To me it looked like she was lying then.  This time she didn't hesitate as much.  The same when asked where she was when she received the news about Michael.  The first time she said she was in New York, when we all read that she was on location in Atlanta.  This time she said she was at home in New York, but she seemed to hesitate with the New York part, as if she had to think about what she had said before.
But what really stood out to me was said she said that she could always cry on cue, even as a child.  Seems to me that the memorial and burial were major cues, yet I saw no tears.
I love Janet, but I do believe she is not quite honest .  Besides that interview was as scripted as the one she gave on one of the morning shows.

Although I see where you are coming from, substance (prescribed or illegal) use/abuse is an important issue that NEEDS to be talked about.  Education and creating awareness about this problem is key in helping others avoid or defeat this epidemic.  I am proud of her for speaking out, and I hope that she will inspire and encourage other families who have loved ones dealing with this issue.  There is a lot of shame attached to this problem.

OK, so if you remember when Oprah interviewed Michael Jackson, she said during
commercial break, Michael told her more, and she would not divulge this information.
Then, Michael Flately says on recent interview, that there were things about Michael
he (M.F.) would take to his grave.
So, I think Michael talks more and nobody wants to tell what he says?   :?

There is a time and place for every and anything.  However I would think that 3 days before the trial is due to commence to save Murray's black ass just is not it.  She should shut up now and if she still sees a need to get it out there that bad, talk later. :roll: But for heavens sake don't be the one to  give Murray's side the perfect defense.

[hesouttamylife]

Now I truly understand why besides the obvious that Michael looked so out of place when you see him at those family gatherings.  You hardly ever see your family and when you do they gang up on you to intervene. Make you the center of a session.  WOW.  If they were so interested in intervening they would have taken it to him instead of wait until he comes over to just chill and have some family time.  I mean he would have hardly had much time to get over there then when he does, BAM! :evil:   I don't like it.  Doesn't sound family like.  At least make an appointment and call it a therapy session, not throw one on him when he's there to try to  get away from  the madness.  Geez if he was druggin, I'm sure once he left them he would definitely need one.   That's just not the way to do it.  Was there any where he could go to just be himself, except by himself???

What about med test Michael went through to be allowed touring and get insurance? He was examined for 3-4 hours as Jermain said and we know from investigation report and other people? According to report Michael was absolutyely healthy and test results clean. If he would have been drug addict and abuser on daily basis, that wouyld appear in his blood test. Moreover, there is no way Michael would have normal internal organs abusing medications for years!
My relative recently was diagnosed with Parkinson Syndrome because she has been abusing for years painkiller medication only. Doctors described the follolwing: first of all drug caused kedney dysfunction that led to liver dysfunction then because blood was not be properly cleared up by liver it led to brain cells atrophy and that led to Parkinsonism. She has been taking 1 kind of painkiller for many years, may be 15-20
How come Michael who "has been abusing many types of painkillers and med. for incomnia" since the time he got fire on Pepsi Commercial and remained absolutely healthy!  :shock:   Is Michael's organs made of iron or what? Or all this is BS and exaggeration!

[kingofmystery]

I think he has had a couple or several different periods of his life when he was self-medicating. (We know fall 1993 for sure).  In 2001, he clearly seemed to be using substances and over-medicating to me.  I think these instances could very well be the times the family speaks of when discussing his drug issues.
