Debbie Rowe is Michael Jackson’s ex-wife. She is a dermatologist assistant and has two children MJ Prince and Paris Jackson. She is currently living in Palmdale, California. Rowe met MJ while working as a nurse in Dr. Arnold Klein’s dermatology office. MJ was being treated in the hospital for his vitiligo skin condition.
Rowe was a big fan of MJ and her friends quoted that she would obsess over him. Rowe proposed to give MJ children, after his divorce from Lisa Marie Presley. Rowe also supported him when he was accused of child sexual abuse. Recently, Rowe said in a documentary that she was “partly to blame” for the King of Pop’s death in 2009.
Why Did Debbie Rowe Blame Herself For Michael Jackson’s Death?
Debbie Rowe, an obsessive fan of MJ, offered to give him children when she heard that Lisa did not agree to have children with MJ. MJ and Debbie got married in 1996 and she was impregnated artificially with his sperm cells. The custody of the child was fully relegated to MJ and Rowe was not allowed to raise the children with Jackson. After giving birth to two children, Paris and Prince, Rowe asked for a divorce. MJ granted her divorce on October 8, 1999. She received a 10 million dollar settlement and gave full custody rights of her children to MJ.
In a documentary, Debbie Rowe, who is now 63, said that she should have done more when she knew about MJ’s addiction to painkillers. She broke down in tears whilst blaming herself for her ex-husband’s death. She said that she was “partly to blame” for MJ‘s death. In Fox‘s TV special, Rowe shared, “I should have done something and I didn’t. Several people died from addictions and in some way, I was part of it.” She also noted in the documentary that she was as bad as Dr. Klein who issued the painkiller medication to MJ.
How Did MJ Die?
Michael Jackson’s coroner Ed Winter revealed that the sedative MJ took was enough to “put down a rhino”. MJ died of cardiac arrest in June 2009, after having a heavy dose of the sedative Propofol. Klein was the doctor who issued this medication. He died in 2015 and was called the “Father of Botox”. In a civil trial over MJ’s death in 2013, Rowe called out Klein and said that he was “feeding Jackson’s drug habit.”
Even after a decade after his death, MJ is still making headlines. The release of the controversial documentary ‘Leaving Neverland’ has incited quite some sparks about MJ’s death. On the day of his death, MJ was rehearsing past midnight and his physician Murray administered a series of drugs in an attempt to help the singer sleep. Jackson at one point had even said, “Just make me sleep, no matter what.” The coroner had concluded that his death was a homicide because his system contained Propofol, lorazepam, midazolam, diazepam, lidocaine, and ephedrine which were enough to put down a rhino.
