Janet: Michael in Denial of Drug Habit

By

(AP)  Janet Jackson says she recognized her brother Michael's drug problem, and tried to help, but says he rebuffed her attempts to intervene.

She says her brother realized the whole family wanted to help him kick his habit, but that he wasn't ready to acknowledge he had a problem.

"You can't make 'em drink the water," Jackson tells ABC News in an interview airing Wednesday.

She blames Dr. Conrad Murray for Michael Jackson's death.

Prosecutors in Los Angeles are weighing charges against Murray, the singer's personal physician, who told police he administered a powerful anesthetic to Jackson shortly before he died June 25.

Janet Jackson says she hasn't seen "This Is It," the documentary spotlighting her late brother.

"I don't know if I will ever see it," she says.

I am SO over people like you. This man was aquitted of all charges and found NOT GUILTY in a court of law. LET IT GO! and STOP slandering his name by accusing him of a crime. WHERE YOU THERE???? IT wouldn't be the first time that someone was accussed of a crime that they didn't commit. Let's not forget that the family settled for money! WOULD YOU? A wise man once said, if you don't have anything positive to say about someone, don't say anything at all.

great comment...I agree with you. If it was my kid, I would not have settled, but these people were willing to pimp the kid. Tragic!

Being found Not Guilty is not the same as being found innocent. It means that the government did not prove it's case. The court of public opinion is something else entirely.

Did I miss something? When was he commited? If you were worth anything, his Estate would come after you for slander. You were not there and the 1st boy who accused him, his father killed himself over guilt. Check the facts and stick to the subject. Thanks!
