Guard: Jackson Had Secret Girlfriend

One of Michael Jackson's bodyguards says that Jackson had a secret girlfriend and an addiction to drugs that were supplied by crooked doctors.

In an exclusive interview with Sky News , Jackson's UK bodyguard, Matt Fiddes, said that he had met Jackson's girlfriend several times and that she was very close to the pop star.

"I'm not going to name who she is, but I think the family were aware that there was someone special in his life who he loved and adored and had his ups and downs with," Fiddes said.

"I don't know how long they've been a couple. I know she's been with him for some time in different capacities but ... it's up to her if she wants it to come out or the family to speak about this very private information."

Fiddes also revealed that Jackson was being given drugs by swindling doctors who routinely charged fans $20,000 to meet Jackson. Fiddes said he and Jackson's friend Uri Geller tried to throw away needles and keep him away from the doctors, but their efforts were in vain.

"I never witnessed him actually taking drugs but I knew they were there and I confiscated packages, and Uri did too," Fiddes said."And Uri confiscated injection equipment from his room...Uri would scream at Michael, you know, intensely, to stop doing this but we were getting pushed out...The doctor had such an influence over Michael that we felt our efforts were falling on deaf ears."

The Drug Enforcement Agency has joined the investigation of Jackson's death to help police examine the doctors and possible drugs used by the pop star.

Fiddes added that he never believed any of the child abuse allegations against Jackson, saying, "We never doubted Michael, we knew he was innocent right from the start and what the real reason was, as far as we were concerned, was financially motivated."
