Debbie Rowe blames everyone around him for his death.
The pop legend passed away in 2009 after he was administered a lethal dose of the anaesthetic propofol, which he used as a sleep aid.
Debbie, who was married to Michael between 1996 and 1999, and shared two children with him, says many people in his life simply refused to intervene after they split.
“There were more people involved, every dancer, every musician, every camera man, every sound man that was on that stage that saw him falling apart,’ she told Entertainment Tonight.
The 54-year-old firmly believes Michael should have been confronted about his problem. She says it wouldn’t have been out of bounds for anyone who had seen his health deteriorating to go to the press.
‘God forbid one of them take out a camera and give it to someone like Entertainment Tonight and stop it,’ she said.
Instead, Debbie said greed and ego triumphed. She believes those who knew Michael was making dangerous decisions simply turned a blind eye.
‘They wanted to work with Michael Jackson. They wanted to go on tour with Michael Jackson,’ she said. ‘All the people that claim to be so close to him who’ve always been there for him, who’ve always done everything for him, not one person tried to stop it. [It] is more important to people to say they worked on something. A man died. A father died. A son died.”
Michael’s mother, Katherine Jackson, lost her suit against AEG last month. The firm, whose executives were promoting the star’s ill-fated comeback concert series, was cleared of wrongdoing.
Dr. Conrad Murray, convicted for administering the fatal dose, was released from Los Angeles County men’s jail last week after serving two of a four-year sentence for involuntary manslaughter.
Michael left behind his children with Debbie, 16-year-old Prince and 15-year-old Paris Jackson, as well as 11-year-old son Blanket. He was 50.

Unequivocally, I agree with Debbie Rowe. I’ve said it on other MJ sites, news forums, anywhere I can be a voice-that it would not have mattered to me if they would have had to postpone This Is It, it would have been far more important to me to stop what was happening to him. So what if we’d have exposed what he was doing? In this case, MJ would have finally understood that his life mattered more to those who cared about him than him performing and getting out of debt. Everything else could have been handled. He desperately needed intervention for his lack of REM sleep. He was slowly dying and Debbie is so right. It was more important for those in the show to have him continue. No, it was NOT more important!!! If it were possible to turn back the hands of time and save his life, I’d make a deal with the devil to do it. And I never even met him!
I agree. Thank you for sharing your feelings. <3
