Jackson’s bodyguard: Michael had secret long-term girlfriend
MICHAEL Jackson’s bodyguard has revealed the singer had a secret long-term girlfriend.
Matt Fiddes, from Barnstaple, Devon, who was introduced to the pop star around 10 years ago by psychic Uri Geller, said there was “someone special” in Jackson’s life, but refused to identify the mystery woman.
He said: “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.
“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.”
The 30-year-old martial arts expert blamed the singer’s death last Thursday on doctors who had supplied him with unnecessary medication, claiming they had “blood on their hands”.
He also described how he and Geller tried to hide drugs and syringes from Jackson.
Fiddes said: “I never witnessed him actually taking drugs but I knew they were there and I confiscated packages, and Uri did too.
“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.
“As far as I’m concerned they have Michael’s blood on their hands, they know what they’ve done and there’s people out there who could have helped, could have stepped in but didn’t do for financial reasons."

But their efforts were not welcomed by the singer, who told them to stop "interfering".
Fiddes added: “We went to great efforts to keep the doctors away. But as soon as we said anything and it gets back to Michael, Michael would have a screaming fit that we were interfering with his private life, that he knew what he was doing and he was in denial.”
The singer died last Friday after suffering a heart attack at his home in LA.
