London, July 15 (ANI): Michael Jackson’s brother Tito has revealed that he and his siblings once raided the late star’s Neverland ranch to confront the singer over his drug addiction reports.
Tito said that the King of Pop tried his best to keep his use of painkillers from his family, and even ordered his bodyguards to stop his siblings from entering the ranch.
“I never saw him on drugs. Not once. He deliberately did it away from us. He didn’t want his family to know anything about that part of him. He did almost everything in his power to make sure we didn’t know,” the Telegraph quoted Tito as having told the Mirror.
“We had to act. It was me, my sisters Janet, Rebbie and La Toya and my brothers, Jackie and Randy.
“We bust right into the house and he was surprised to see us to say the least. We went into one of his private rooms and had a discussion with him. Some of us were crying.
“We kept asking him if it was true what we had heard that he was using drugs. He kept denying it. He said we were over-reacting. We also spoke to a doctor and he assured us it was not the situation. He said he was there to make sure Michael was healthy,” he added. (ANI)
