MJ's Bodyguard Answering Fans Questions

[Olivier]

Michael owning a firearm? cmon, he would never do that.
Sad he didn't have that much real friends because he is such a wonderfull person

 

[Joyce]

I haven't read every page but I believe MJ did tell someone that he hated Gavin Arvizo. (I think he felt bad about hating him because hate goes against MJs nature)

 

[bluetopez]

I think the bodyguards reason for this book is to show the real Michael to the public that don't know and buys whatever the media told and keep telling them about MJ! So much negative stories that I guess they wanna tell the truth for once! MJ privacy is what the media used against him a lot! So the BG's are doing the same to show the opposite and trying to correct their a$$e$!

If they stick with the truth it could work for the public that buys the book (non fans) but, the media...? They could have the truth starring at them in the face and they wouldn't care!

 

[TheOriginalPYT]

^^ That's the purpose of every man, woman, mail man, personal chef, priest, rabbi, maid, plumber, dermatoligist, psychologist, doctor, girlfriend, child claiming to be Michael's, or whothefuckever's sole purpose is whenever they write a book about him, right?

This is just all SO OLD. It's like beating a dead horse (no pun intended). I wish people would just STFU already!!

But of course... I'm just a 'fan'... and once again, there isn't shit I can do about it.

 

[Reeta]

Q: Did you all ever catch Michael in a bad mood? How could you tell if he was in a "bad" mood, or was he usually pretty laid back? (Easy-going temperment)

- Oh he had his moments when he was not happy! it was not pretty.

Q: Have you been to Japan with Michael?

- No but we plan on coming there for our book tour.

Q: Have you ever seen Michael truly interested (or inlove) with some girl, conquering her? If yes, what kind of things did he like to do?

- LOL....thats for the book sorry.

Q: Diana Ross - was Michael in touch with her? Did they meet up? Did he ever talk about her?

- We'll just say he trusted her dearly.

Q: Are you guys still planning on "outing" the "friends" of MJ who abandoned him and turned their backs?

- We are not sure we'll give names yet, we will make reference to them though.

Q: would like to ask if you have any plans to commemorate Michael's birthday? Can you share any memories of celebrating past birthdays with Michael?

- Im sure we'll do something, we can only think of what his kids did for him, we will keep that private for now.

Q: Was Michael very hand-on as a dad, or did he share care equally with nannies?

- He was very hands on.

Q: Did Michael like London?

- He loved London, why do you think thats where he was starting his tour?

Q: I was wondering if Michael ever went to see or liked any of the smaller shows/lounge acts in Vegas.

- Yes, we secretly took him to a few shows...no one knew he was there.

Q: I wonder if Michael liked to latin dance,i know he was doing a bit of salsa in Blood on the dancefloor video,but was he particularly working on one of them?

- We've seen him practice alot, He did a little of every dance....Amazing!

Q: How does anyone get the job of being Michael Jackson's bodyguard?

- I can go on and on about that, but all I will say is "We were blessed".

Q: Was MJ a fan of any sports?

- He sometimes commented of the sports figures he knew, Jordan, Ali, a few others.

Q: Can you tell me how Michael will celebrate her birthday? Was doing something special?

- He was not big on celebrating his birthday, we would help his kids plan stuff and surprise him.

Q: Were days when Michael did not get shaved?

- All men dont shave everyday.

Q: I kinda want to know when Michael would cook for the kids what did he make exactly and was he a good chef at that?

- We gotta save that for the book.

Q: Would MJ support you publishing your book - if yes, what makes you to be sure about it?

- Honestly I think he would cause it would be one of his ways of speaking to his fans.

Okay, then don't buy the book!

 

[TheOriginalPYT]

I never said I would buy the book... but I am entitled to post and speak my mind about it, ehh??

My feelings and views are too strong on topics like this, so I'll be bowing out of this thread. Carry on.

Of course you can post your opinion! But, I only replied back because to me you came at me a little to heated! When I only stated my opinion as well!

But, I do agree with you on some of the people who have talked about MJ but, should have not! But, not everyone have bad intentions! Something we will determine with the Body Guards soon enough when some people read the book and let us know!

 

[JMie]

I have mixed feelings about this book. On one hand, I realise, these bodyguards must be breaching the confidentiality agreement by writing things about Michael. But on the other hand, the things they have been saying so far have been all very positive, and they have never revealed anything private. And in the sea of negative books about Michael we desperately need a positive book for general public to read and see what kind of person Michael actually was.

 

[LMAT]

If these guys write a truthful, revealing story and book about their time with
Michael, it will be wonderful. If little to no profit is made from it, other than what
goes to charity or Michael's children, there will be very little for anyone to critizice.
There is so much nonsense written about Michael by people who didn't know the man;
I truely believe this book will open people's minds about him in a positive way. I feel
like his children deserve this---I'd like to think that Michael would be Ok with some
revelations, if it helps his kids in someway.

Personally, I am conflicted about private matters being discussed and revealed.
But if it's done with love and respect, maybe in this case it is a necessary thing;
for clarity, understanding, compassion and education for the general public.

 

[Snow White luvs Peter Pan]

If it doesn't have tabloid crap and if it's respectful I'd buy it.

 

[Shamonee]

They are back again to answer the questions

Q: Do you guys ever see the kids? How do you guys feel about Grace? She has said some awful things about Michael. I heard the kids don't care for her.

- No we havent seen the kids, they are in our thoughts and prayers. As for Grace, LOL we cant go there yet.

Q: Did Michael play music instruments at home? I heard he used to play piano for his guests in Neverland.

- Yes MJ played the piano often and sang in the house, it was simply amazing to hear him cause that was the side of him we didnt really know.

Q: When you worked w/ Michael did he ever visit Hayvenhurst? Did he stay there, or somewhere else in Encino?

- During our watch, No MJ did not stay or visit either place.

Q: BJM...how has your relationships with one another changed since Michael's passing? Have you become closer as friends?

- We became closer while working for MJ, we are closer now because of MJ.

Thanks for sharing. It must have been so surreal for them to have even been in the same room as him!

I feel the same way....you have almost read my thoughts..

 

[Ashtanga]

 

[Tinker_Bell]

thank you for keeping updating us with the answers, I sure would love Michael to make me pancakes!

 

[aliana101]

Their answers are so strange sometimes. Or is it just me?

 

[Ashtanga]

No.... I also realized this.

 

[Reeta]

Want to eelaborate what you mean by strange?


Q: Did he use a lot of code words around you/people? You don't have to say what they are.

- We had code words for him, he used hand signals to us.

Q: Other than KFC what is michael and his kids favorite fastfoodchain?

- Wing Stop

Q: I heard that you were going to donate proceeds from the book to charity, is that true? And if yes, have you already picked a charity?

- Yes, there are 3 charities...we'll name them in the book.

Q: Hows the book coming along?

- Ok, we'll get there.

Q: Bill, you once mentioned that MJ would check the doors and locks at night. What was he looking for? Or afraid of?

- We can only guess, being a very protective father.

 

[Petals]

Q: I'd love to know more about his facebook! Did he use his real name? Did he have contact with fans through his page?Thanks in advance!

- Sometimes he did.

bodyguard said this

He didn't reply, he just looked at what ppl were saying. He signed on using one of security's accounts.

Hummm... I am confused now! :scratch:

I dunno. I'm sure the intentions are good but GEEZ... book after book after book after book. Makes me so happy to be a 'normal' person. Poor Michael. :better: :heart:

I know! Sometimes I feel like that too!
But I think MJ's bodyguards book will be a good one! I hope so!

Q: Did he used the web and visited forums about him?

- He didnt do web searches other than Ebay.

Humm! Not true! MJJC staff have no reason to lie!!

Sure, MJ was their boss, but they were with him whether he went somewhere or stayed at home, so in my opinion it's kinda logical they got to know him and the kids pretty well and possible became good friends You know, just like the bodyguards Karen Faye and Michael Bush worked for him and they became friends and know a helluva lot of things about MJ too.

I agree! :yes:
They were Michael's protection, they were always with him, so obviously they got to know Michael quite well I would say!!

All I wanna know is Michael's funny/happy times AND stuff with girls!! sorry sorry sorryyyyyy cant help iiit cant help iiit cant help iiiit

Thanks Reeta!!

 

[Reeta]

Humm! Not true! MJJC staff have no reason to lie!!

Please bear in mind that they can only talk about what they've seen, experienced and what has happened on their watch. They can't say he visited any forums if they haven't seen him doing that. What may have happened before (when they were not working for him) does not count here

 

[bobmoo79]

I really hope they're able to get this book into the mainstream.
Why can't the publishers understand that the REAL Michael Jackson will sell ALOT of copies. Everybody knows the stories the press spread about him and most people will know that they aren't 100% reliable (and some are 100% fake), so surely anybody with an interest in reality will want to know the inside story from somebody who really knew him.
Also, books don't have to be negative to be sensationalised. The publisher could concentrate on some revelations that contradict public perception and use those to sell their book.

Publishers really need to get smart. It was fans that made TII a global hit. It will be fans that can make a MJ book a bestseller. Naysayers aren't spending the money. The fans are, especially since his death. Even opportunistic Ian Halperin got it. His documentary on MJ was mostly favorable to garner the most interest. You'd think publishers would be more in touch with who the consumers would be for a MJ book. It's not haters who'll be spending the cash. It's the people who loved him, and we don't want to spend money to read more trash about him.

[Ape]

Thank you so much for keeping this updated. It is really difficult to read through their facebook page with so much written on it. I really appreciate being able to read the Q&A here so easily.

 

[Reeta]

Q: Have you ever seen him playing/swimming in his pool?

- Yes, he got in a indoor door many times.

I always wondered if famous people like Michael go out shopping for their own stuff, or they get stuff delivered so they don't get bothered when they're out buying their socks or something.

- We had to shop for him from time to time but we took him out shopping many times.

Q: Did Michael ever play chess?

- Ive seen the chess board in the house, not sure who was playing.

Q: Bill, you mentioned sneaking Michael into theaters to see movies sometimes. What movies did you guys see at the theater?

- We've seen many movies....He liked action, Spider Man, Transformers. The kids liked Alvin n Chipmonks, bridge to terabithia, etc.

Q: Maybe this never happend while you worked for him, but I was wondering if he saw a spider or some other ugly bug was he afraid of it. I know he probably did not kill it, but what would he did with it?

- Funny you asked, he once caught a Scorpion in the Las Vegas house. He had me take it outside and let it go.

Q: Guys, did Michael ever talked to you about Robbie Williams the Rude Pig? )

A fan replies: Robbie said shit things about Michael that i dont wanna mention here Hayley, all i wanna know if he had said stg about Robbie. Michael knew well that he wasnt a nice person.

- No he didnt mention him.

Q: Hi Bill, did MJ have a housekeeper to come in to tidy up the house? Did the kids have to clean their own rooms?

- no housekeeper.

Q: What was the most memorable moment you had with MJ?

- Wow, they are many....

Q: Bill, will your book have photos? I mean never before seen photos that you have in your possession?

- We are still thinking about that, we do have photos but we are not certain if we'll put them in book.

Q: I would like to know, if Michael ever gave you presents for your
birthdays, for Christmas or for another occasion? If yes, what did you
get from him?

- ocassionally he gave us thoughtful girfts of aprreciation, we'll mention what gifts in the book.

Q: We know Michael loves Shirley Temple, did he ever watch I Love Lucy?

- He had her videos, not sure if or when he watched them.

Q: Did Michael ever dress in dsguises and go to places like Wal-Mart or Kmart just to go shopping?

- Yes, a few times. Walmart, Target, Best Buy, grocery shopping.

Q: Michael was wearing shorts, slippers and a sweatshirt when it was very hot?

- PJ's, always.

Q: When and why did you stop working for Michael --and you mentioned a few days ago you were preparing for TII; had he re-hired you for that?

- We were always intouch with MJ.

As MJ's bodyguards were you there more for protecting Michael from the paparazzi & the media or for out-of-control fans. I'd kind of like to think that Michael liked his fans loving on him (not hurting him or pawing at him, but just loving on & appreciating him).

- We protected MJ from any and all possible threats! Paparazzi's were smart but we had to be smarter. He loved his fans but from a security stand point it was a fan who shot and killed John Lennon, he also had a few death threats we took very seriously, we'll discuss further in book.

Q: Who was the friend MJ use to go on long walks with? E. Taylor?

- A friend.

Q: When Michael got those death threats, did he know about them? I mean if he gets a fan letter, you had to read them before him, and if it was ok, you gave it to him?

- We screened everything sent to him.

 

[Ashtanga]

Q: We know Michael loves Shirley Temple, did he ever watch I Love Lucy?

- He had her videos, not sure if or when he watched them.

:smilerolleyes: Obviously Michael watched all the movies of Shirley Temple. Fact. -_- In the book of Rabbi, Michael talks a lot about Shirley.
