Three of Michael Jackson‘s personal bodyguards appeared on Good Morning America today, providing a glimpse into the late singer’s last years. “The kids were constantly saying, ‘I love you, Daddy…They were like four buddies,” said Mike Garcia, though all admitted the children lived lonely lives, recalling a birthday party attended by MJ, their teacher, a nanny and security—but no other children.
As for the allegations of sexual abuse against Jackson, the trio claim they saw no untoward behavior. “Being a man…men know men…and we [were] around him long enough to know…he was a man,” said Bill Whitfield, with Garcia adding “He had lovers.” “In the cars that we had, we had a curtain that covered the back seat…you couldn’t see in the back seat,” recalled Whitfield of one of Jackson’s dates. “[Jackson and his girlfriend] talked back there…they didn’t do nothing out of bounds…you can hear the kissing.” Will this revelation lead to a woman coming forward? It’s hard to believe anyone could keep a dalliance with the King Of Pop secret for long…or could resist spilling the beans.
