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!
