In an incredible interview with filmmaker Daphne Barak, who was originally making a film on the eve of his concert comeback, Michael Jackson‘s family nanny Grace Rwaramba (pictured) has revealed some alleged bizarre details of the passed pop idol’s life. Rwandan Grace worked for Jacko for 17 years, and looked after his three children Prince Michael I, Paris and Prince Michael II from birth, calling them her “babies.” Among her claims:
- Jacko often overdosed on prescription drugs, necessitating serious consequences. “I had to pump his stomach many times . . . He always mixed so much of it. There was one period that it was so bad that I didn’t let the children see him,” she says. But when she tried to stage an intervention, he fired her, before re-appointing her.
- When cash-strapped Jackson came into some money, he sent Grace to Florence to spend $1.6m on antiques. “We didn’t even have a home to live in so we had to put the antiques in some storage,” she explained. Jackson also “owed so much money to so many people” and spent the last few years moving his family between hotels and friends houses, without paying bills.
- Michael’s mom, Katherine Jackson, called her early Friday morning to try and find his money stashes. Grace said, “Katherine just called me. She said…Grace, you remember Michael used to hide cash at the house. I am here. Where can it be?’ I told her to look at the garbage bags and under the carpets. But, Daphne, can you believe this? This woman just lost her son a few hours ago and she is calling me to know where the money is!”
