Miko Brando confirms Michael Jackson’s family tried to stage intervention
A close friend of Michael Jackson said he was aware the family attempted an
intervention at the singer’s home just months before his death.
Janet Jackson is said to have been shocked at her brother’s state after visiting his Las Vegas mansion at the beginning of the year.
According to reports she thought he was looking emaciated and found the barely-furnished home ‘creepy’.
She is said to have called on two of the Jackson brothers to come and convince him to get help for a drug problem.
However, Jackson is said to have ordered his security to turn them away at the gates and the intervention never happened.
Now Jackson’s close friend Miko Brando seems to have confirmed the story, telling CNN: “I heard about it. But I wasn’t there.”
But Miko, the son of screen legend Marlon Brando, said Jackson was not unusually thin, adding: “Michael has always been thin. He has never been overweight. He always looked the same.”
Miko then rejected rumours he may be the real father of Prince Michael II, also known as Blanket.
“Absolutely not,” he said.
Asked if he believed Michael Jackson was the real father, he nodded before hitting out at speculations over Jackson’s drug abuse and death.
“It hurts me. It’s ridiculous,” Brando said.
“He is not here to defend himself. Once the coroner’s report comes out it will answer all these questions, for now we are just speculating.
“Michael was just a wonderful, honest, nice friend, always there when you needed it.”
