Mike Garcia, Bill Whitfield, and Javon Beard -- better known as three bodyguards to late "King of Pop" Michael Jackson -- all appeared on "Good Morning America" Tuesday to talk about their relationship with the controversial singer.
One of the first issues they addressed right out of the gate was the question of Jackson as a pedophile. Their response? Despite the singer's history in court over the allegations, they didn't feel he was: "being a father myself, and being a man...men know men."
Not only that, but the three men also said that Jackson frequently had relations with "girlfriends" in the back of their car:
"We had a curtain that covered the back seat. We couldn't see in the back seat. They were...you know..."
When the interviewer suggested "making out" to end the sentence, the bodyguard replied by saying "it was either that or they were chewing very loud gum."
Althought it has been over eight months since Jackson's sudden death, a number of people are still only beginning to speak out about their relationship to the performer. The Jackson children are in custody of the singer's mother Katherine, even after a recent incident involving one of Jermain's sons and a stun gun.

I don't believe his bodyguards, which doesn't mean I believe MJ is a pedo.
The whole thing is pathetique. That's how pathetique Americans are.
well they been with him through everything and i guess its true, imean they been with michael since the beginning. we dont know the truth, we dont know whhat michael jackson does outstages, so yea i believe
i believe them. they are the ones who have been with this guy the last 2 or 3 years.
they are the only ones, who have witnessed this stuff.
do you believe the bodyguards? WHY , because theyre telling something contrary to all those difamatory stories made up by tabloids? who the hell knows, All i know is that MJ was not a pedophile, theres plenty of evidence of his innocence and Im tired of idiotic remarks implying the opposite.
this bodyguards have no credibility but genne simons a loser who never even met MJ has? please.
What reasons do the bodyguards have to lie? If they really wanted to make some money, they would say that Michael was a pedophile. After all, this is what the writer of this article and main stream media want people to believe.
What is there to believe or not believe. MJ was a good man. I don't need any bodyguard's word for it.
mam a holes u better stop your phukin crap!
Judge not lest ye be judged...I don't believe any of the stuff that has ever been said about Michael. I think it is made up stuff for money purposes and to get rich and famous. I don't think people knew or understood Michael except those who were really close to him. God is the only one who knows...and guess what? He is the ONLY one that matters. I love Michael Jackson and NO ONE will ever change my mind about him. I wish people would stop the crap...it really is ugly and it needs to stop! Love you Michael!
Isn't pedophilie a white men's crime? Every pedo who made to the news is a white man, with the exception of Michael Jackson.
I would have believed he's a pedo, hadn't you white males and your predominantly white media kept mentionning his true color.
I believe his bodyguards. They are telling the truth.
The truth was revealed by the outcome of the 2005 court trial and the court documents as far as MJ being guilty of pedophelia. Educate yourselves before making judgements based on the United States sensationalistic journalism. Biased journalism is not journalism. REPORT THE FACTS...or don't report!
To save some time, I'll recap the top delusions:
1. He bleached his skin. His makeup artist, his dermatologist, and the Los Angeles coroner are all lying about this, and all pictures that show the light and dark patches were faked.
2. Macaulay Culkin and several other kids he was accused of molesting all lied when they testified in his defense, and a handful of grifters told the truth. His relationships with Diana Ross, Tatum O'Neal and Lisa Marie never happened.
3. The children aren't his because an African-American parent can never, ever have children who "look white." Vin Diesel, Rashida Jones, Kitt Shapiro, Tai Babilonia and Slash Hudson were all secretly adopted. Blacks and whites are DIFFERENT, darn it!
I have no way of knowing if Michael Jackson had girlfriends and made out with them in the back of a car. Who are these women? Have they ever come forward to say they dated Michael Jackson? Are there any pictures of Michael with any of these woman (not talking about a sex tape or anything like that), I mean are there any pictures of him walking with a girlfriend or at a party or outing or anything? If this person does exist she would likely come forward and prove she had a relationship with him idk, somehow. Phone records, text messages, a poem he wrote to her in his handwriting, etc. People have been making up stories about MJ for over 35 years so I tend not to believe most of what I hear about him without concrete physical proof. In fact I think that most of what the mainstream media reports is false. I don't know why I think that. Oh yeah, it must have been that war we had with Iraq over those WMD that never turned up.
False things said about Michael Jackson over the years:
1. He took female hormones to keep his voice high. I realized this was false years ago when I saw him shirtless. If he was taking estrogen or birth control pills or whatever else we heard in the media there would be signs of breast development and he had a normal looking male chest.
2. His father castrated him (he was a castrato). There is no way in hell that a man who danced like that on a stage had no sexual feelings.
3. He had cheek implants. I pretty much doubt that was true, his mother looks like she has a lot of American Indian blood and it shows up in Jermaine and Michael. Michael had a lot of stress in his forties which caused him to drop weight which shows up in the cheeks of people over 40. He definitely had a chin implant though (big mistake on his part).
4. His nose was detachable. There was no mention of his nose being missing in the 51 page autopsy report.
false things the media reported cont'd.
5. His marriage to Lisa Marie Presley was never consummated. Lisa Marie said they had sex. I really cannot think of any reason she would lie about this.
6. He never had sex with a woman. See #5.
7. He had child porn in his house. If that were true he would be in jail because it's a felony. Also, the FBI report stated that no child porn was found on his 16 computers which were actually sent to Quantico, VA to be examined.
There are a lot of other things the media has said that are too numerous to mention here but I think that a lot of stories have been said without proper fact checking. There was a "Frontline" documentary done on Michael Jackson and the media frenzy in 1993 or 1994 about how the media went nuts after he was accused by Evan Chandler. I wish they would run that documentary again, I have seen it on the internet but I have never seen it on PBS again. It was a fascinating look at how media pays money for interviews & distorts
To Gazpacho: I don't know whether Michael Jackson bleached his skin or not however Geraldo did a show back in 1993 where he had on the National Enquirer (now there's a credible source), R. Randy Taraborelli and one other person I can't remember the name. Anyway the Enquirer brought in pictures with photographic proof that MJ had white blotches on his arm above the wrist. The blotch was very noticeable in the picture. Geraldo did this show years ago before photo shop was around I think. Also I've seen pictures taken of him which are on the web in archives where you cans see white spots on his face (pictures that are over 25 years old). They also talked about whether he was a virgin at that time (he was in 1993) around the time of the Oprah interview. This was later proven to be true in his phone conversations with "Glenda". He admitted it himself. The phone calls also were evidence in the 2005 court case because in those phone calls he expressed his desire to have a relationship w/women
About his kids. The 2 older kids definitely look caucasian. The youngest child looks Spanish. However the youngest child does have very large eyes like MJ had he also has a darker skin tone. So there is a slight possibility that this child Blanket could have his dna. Also I read a report in the NYT which said that his sperm sample was being sent to Britain for safekeeping so I do think he had intentions of procreating. Without a dna test there is no proof however. He said himself he wanted 2 kids from every continent. Who knows what his plans were, maybe he wanted 2 white kids, two Mexican or South American, 2 African, 2 Asian, etc. Who knows what he thought? All celebrities have issues, look at Madonna, Angelina & Tom Cruise, they have black adopted children. Transracial adoptions are common nowadays.
