Michael Jackson's dermatologist discusses everything from drug dosage to friendship


Michael Jackson's past drug use was a hot topic.

Michael Jackson is the subject of another lengthy interview, this time conducted by TMZ and focusing on the late singer's dermatologist Dr. Arnold Klein. One thing Dr. Klein made clear early on was that he was not involved in getting Michael the prescription drugs that led to the King of Pop's death: "I'm not a drug doctor." He then went on to blame concert production company AEG for hiring Dr. Conrad Murray, who is reportedly responsible for giving Jackson heavy doses of the sedative propofol.

Dr. Klein also elaborated on his friendship with Michael Jackson. "I don't have many friends...my friends are my patients. I've flown to the Middle East to see a patient." Klein described himself as a good friend to Jackson, and someone who was very upset over the drug use that led to the singer's death. By the end, Michael couldn't even sleep without the use of anesthesia. He also said that Michael was "obsessed with his face," and that he was part of the 18% of his patients who had distorted their face to such proportions that they "didn't look human anymore."

Of course, there's much more to this interview (including more of Michael's recreational habits) which you can view below.

Do you think Dr. Klein should be speaking so intimately about his friend? Let me know what you think!

    Why is it that of all Michael Jackson's self-declared deareat friends, it is the Jews that seem to feel no shame in betraying him, from Uri Gellar to Rabbi Smuley Boteach to Dr Arnold Klein and convert to Judaism Debbie Rowe. It's beginning to smell like a Jewish Conspiracy to bring Michael Jackson down. I'm seriously wondering if maybe Michael Jackson really did convert to Islam. Why is Arnie Kelin hell-bent on portraying Jermain Jackson as the bad guy? When Arnie Klein was not even speaking to Michael from 2003 and throughout his child molestation trial, it was his family that stood by him while Arnie was nowhere to be seen. Garbage in, garbage out!!

    Michael had very strange "friends" an Klein is not the first one to betray a life long relationship with MJ. Shmuley Boteach is another example. Or do we non-Jews maybe have other "friendship" word definition and meaning?

    yeah the jew factor is something interesting , from chandler , schwarz, Katz, Feldman , Shapiro, Abrams , Orth, Dickerman, Weizner, the Rabbi, Uri, schaffel and now Klien . Klien is desperate to prove everything said about jackson before . He is not helping him, he is destroying him . and he talks about the kid prince being smart because he is his son .

    Wow, I never realised Diane Sawyer is Jewish. That just about nails the Jewish Conspiracy theory. I think they smell the money Michael Jackson has made his entire life and will be making posthumously and they just can't stand it.

    Yes agreed about the Jewish connection .... I think if Klein was a true friend he would keep his mouth closed.
