clients — Michael Jackson.

“I go ‘Hi’. And he goes ‘Hi,’ and I said, ‘You know what? Nobody does what you do better, and nobody does what I do better. Let’s get this over with.’ And he laughed, and we just became friends. It was just right away,” said Rowe in a 2003 interview. (Bashir Part 2, 2003)

Reginas Santos, MJ’s Publicist Statement 5 November 1996

KLEIN: Yes.
KING: They met, I guess, in your office?
KLEIN: Yes.

Debbie and Klein accompany him on a few dates of the Bad Tour, Gothenburg, Germany, July 11-12 1988

20 I did go to the last concert in Gutenberg [sic: Gothenburg), I
21 think on the tour previous to that. Because
22 Gutenberg wasn't on the “Dangerous” tour.

Teddy Riley says MJ spoke to him about Debbie, Dangerous recording sessions took place between June 25, 1990 - October 29, 1991.

"Pleasing the kids, that's all I want to do," Riley, 30, says with a sheepish smile in the dressing room moments later.I just get joy from doing the music," he continues as he and his group mates--Chauncey Hannibal, Mark Middleton and Eric Williams--watch other "All That" segments on monitors and munch on soul food from Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles. But as he speaks, it becomes clear that there's more to it than that. I wrote 'Remember the Time' when Michael {Jackson} told me about falling in love with {Debbie Rowe}, the woman he just married. I don't know why he didn't marry her the first time around. That's why songs like that, and Bobby Brown's ' My Prerogative,' are still relevant, cause they speak about their lives and the lives of others. My songs are just a soundtrack for life.

10. The woman in the white dress: ‘He told me he was seeing this nurse about something and that something magic was going to happen. What was happening was she (Debbie Rowe) was carrying the babies or they were making the deal to do it, so I painted a nurse that looks like an angel.’

Debbie Rowe (Interview with KNBC November 28 1997)

Interviewer: Having the baby was her idea. It was a subject that was talked about before Jackson's marriage to Lisa Marie Presley.
Debbie: He did love her very, very much, still does. Still cares about her very, very much. But, um, it didn't work out. And, uh, he was devastated.
Interviewer: After the divorce, Debbie, who met Jackson while working in a Dr's Office again brought up the subject of children.
Debbie: Well, I said, I said, you know, my offer still stands....
Interviewer: So, if you want to be a parent ....
Debbie: So I said, I said...If you want to be a daddy...I want to do it.

Me and Micheal Jackson’s wife

Let me start by saying Michael Jackson was truly my first love. I will admit my madness for him did not start until Thriller. It was Christmas time when the video came out. I will never forget watching it on Christmas Eve. I tried to learn every move and so did everyone else (admit it).. I had posters all over my room.. and when BAD came out I had this Cardboard huge picture of him from the Album cover. I got it from the record store in the mall. It was behind my bed and he was always with me. I will also have to add to this story that I really did get into fights with people espeically in high school.. decade or more since the BAD album. I hated when people made of fun of him and they pissed me off and they picked on me about it.. Even one teacher use to always give me a hard time. I was a Michael Jackson advocate (still am)..One time I told my teacher if he didn’t stop I was going to stand in the hall.. LOL! but I was really mad..just so you know..

Moving on...When I moved to Los Angeles. I moved in to an apartment in Van Nuys, California. The lady across the hall was super cool. She knocked on our door very often. She would soon become a big part of my life. I can still say to this day I have never met anyone quite like her. She was something else. It wasn’t very long before she told us how close she was to Michael Jackson. She worked for his dermatologist and had known him for many years. Well, I have to admit I did not believe her. I figured she was some crazy lady and a liar. She said he gave her the vehicle she drove and that she is very good friends with him. I soon find myself in her modest apartment looking at all of the proof I needed, to know that she was telling the truth. I told her all about my love story. Over the next two years we become very good friends. I can remember one day answering her phone and it was him.. wow! I recognized his voice and flipped out.. I had already met him by this time so he knew who I was. He asked her" if that was that country girl" Very Cool.. So yes, I did meet him once.. alot of people don’t believe me and others don’t care. LOL!

Either way it happen.. and it was something very special to me and I will never forget it. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for him. I also know he is innocent so whatever.. don’t piss me off about that shit either.. ha ha

Michael enters rehab, November 12 1993

'When he went into the rehab, I remember that Debbie was so, so relived.' says Tonya Boyd. 'When Michael got out of rehab he started dating Lisa Marie. But he never stopped seeing Debbie, even after he married Lisa Marie.'

“I know when Michael was addicted, Debbie stayed on the telephone for hours and hours, pleading with him to save himself”, says Debbie's friend Tonya Boyd. “She told me that she said: 'If you die, I will be crushed. I wouldn't be able to survive it. You are my very life'.” (Daily Record)

24 remember. I don't remember any of that part. I
25 tend to block out unpleasantries. I don't remember
26 any of that part. I don't remember if Mr. Sneddon

Magic/Madness, 1995

Lisa Marie's friend Monica Pastelle says: 'I recall Lisa telling me that Michael was trying to make her believe he was interested in a white nurse who worked for his dermatologist. Lisa just laughed it off. She thought Michael was trying to make her jealous, just playing games.'

'But it was true, just the same: Michael was seeing Debbie Rowe while he was married to Lisa,' says Monica Pastelle. 'And Lisa knew it. At one point, she and Debbie had a tense telephone conversation during which Lisa said: "Look, nursey. I'm sorry that you're in love with my husband. But he's mine. So get lost".

'Afterwards, Lisa burst out laughing. She said: "Can you imagine? Me acting like the jealous little wife because Michael's wet nurse -or whatever she is- is in love with him. What is this craziness?" '

Debbie on set of YANA, Tonya Watt's Myspace, July 12 1995

http://www.myspace.com/tonyawattsmusic/blog/375534192

So She took me to Gower Studio where he was shooting a music video. He works at night so we went around 11pm. I was so nervous (only he and Dolly would make me nervous).. We arrivedand his body guards led us to a trailer. She went in and left me outside of the trailer for a while. Finally, she opened the door and called me in.. She said "Michael this is Tonya Tonya this is Michael". he shook my hand.. and I said the dumbest shit ever... " "should I faint now or later" giggle giggle.. He then said "listen to her laugh.". so I sat in the corner in a chair while she, Michael and the makeup artist all carry on while he is getting his makeup done... not many people can say they have done that.. he is very private about his make up affairs ha ha

Off to the set we went... I was so shy and trailed behind.. He stopped and waited on me.. Such a gentleman.. We did go in his personal trailer and there was candy all over the place..just as I would have imagined . We soon had to leave cuz Lisa Marie was on her way. She was in that video and well, it was time to go..

Neverland..... I also got to go to Neverland with her. It was wild.. He was not there but his spirit was and it was amazing.. It was so surreal walking thru his home... with such an inviting staff treating us awesome...

Baby! Wow! One day she starts telling me she was planning on having him a baby! How did I find myself in Michael Jackson’s world (sort of).. She told me this way before she was ever pregnant . I have to admit even still. I was not sure if she was telling the truth. This is just getting too far fetched.. LOL! Your gonna have his baby and give it to him. Well, she was telling the truth. That’s exactly what she did two times. Funny thing is I have never told anyone this.. except me and my family laugh about it. I’m just saying:: I have a neice name PARIS.. She loved Paris’s name.. when my neice and nephew visisted from Alabama. She arranged it with MJ for us to all go to Neverland..Well we always joke and say thats where they got the name PARIS.. My lady friend did tell me that one time.. but who would believe me so nevermind doesn’t matter anyway.

July 31-August 6, 1995

After an argument with Lisa Marie, Michael flies to Disneyland Paris and doesn’t see or speak to Lisa Marie for 6 weeks.

She tells Rolling Stone in 2003: “He got upset and he would just disappear.”

Lisa, Playboy, June 2003

PLAYBOY: Did you and Michael discuss having kids?

PRESLEY: Yeah. [Laughs] I got out of that one. “I just don’t think it’s a good idea right now.” But I knew that’s what he wanted. And I knew Debbie Rowe was offering to do it for him while we were married, according to him. She was a nurse who had a crush on him and offered to have his babies.

PLAYBOY: Was he trying to leverage you into agreeing?

PRESLEY: Kind of. “Debbie Rowe says she’ll do it.” Ok, have Debbie Rowe do it! And it’s funny, when I imagined having a child with him, all I could ever see was a custody battle nightmare.
