Michael Jackson - Rabbi Shmuley Boteach: Jackson on Hitler

The wacko Michael Jackson tales continue. Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, said to have been a "close pal" of Michael Jackson, taped some 30 hours of chats with Jackson.

According to the Rabbi, Michael declared that "...nobody was all evil..." Jackson is quoted saying if he had "an hour with Hitler," he might have changed him. Read the story here.

Debbie Rowe is Michael Jacksons Childrens Mother: (Photos) Funeral Update

Debbie Rowe was married to singer-dancer Michael Jackson for three years. She is the mother of two of Michael Jackson's three children, Prince Michael Joseph, I and Paris Michael Katherine. A third child was born to an unnamed surrogate. See Updates below. See updates on Paris Jackson's paternity below. Funeral Update: 9-6-09

Debbie Rowe and Michael Jackson

Debbie Rowe and Michael Jackson and their children are in the news because Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, died today, reportedly of cardiac arrest, at the age of 50.

Michael Jackson's Children?

According to the UK Mail Online, the above photo is of Michael Jackson's children, two of which are also the children of Debbie Rowe: Paris (L), Prince Michael, I (R) and the youngest "Blanket." Deborah Jeanne Rowe met pop star icon Michael Jackson at a Dermatology clinic where he was receiving treatments for a "skin condition." Rowe was a nurse at the clinic. The two married on November 15, 1996. Rowe, then 38 years old, gave birth three months after the marriage to the first child, Prince Michael Joseph Jackson, I on February 13, 1997. Prince Michael, I is 12 years old. A daughter, Paris Katherine Jackson was born on April 3, 1998 and is 11.

Paris Katherine and Prince Michael Jackson, I?

Again, this photo is from the UK Daily Mail, courtesy of SplashNews.com Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe were divorced on October 8, 1999, almost three years after the marriage. It is believed that Jackson and Rowe never shared a home, and that Jackson also did not share his sperm for the children, although that that rumor is not confirmed. Reports says that both children were conceived through artificial insemination at the Los Angeles Fertility Institute. So the question is: are Prince Michael Joseph and Paris Michael Katherine his biological children or.... Debbie Rowe granted full custody rights of both children to Michael after their divorce. Prince Michael "Blanket" Jackson, II was born through artificial insemination with an unnamed, surrogate mother, and supposedly Jackson's own sperm, but again, rumors abound that none of his three children are biologically his. "Blanket" was the child that Jackson famously and horrifically held over a hotel balcony as a new born, with a cloth over the child's face. Debbie Rowe is reportedly "inconsolable," over the death of Jackson. Who the children are with at this time, and who will become their guardians is not known. Update 6-25-09 8:15 a.m. CDT: Attorney Debra Opri says that arrangements for the care of Rowe and Jackson's children, as well as "Blanket," has been in place for a very long time. She says she does not know the details of guardianship but believes that the children will go to Katherine Jackson, his Mother. In the meantime, the UK Sun quotes the children's "godfather," Mark Lester.

Jacko's longterm pal, former child star MARK LESTER, has pledged to fulfil his role of godfather to the Thriller star's children.

Mark Lester played the role of Oliver in the movie of the same name. There is no official confirmation that Lester is the "godfather" to Jackson's children. Megyn Kelly at FOX News just reported rumors from friends that Jackson wanted the children's Nanny, Grace Rwaramba, to raise the children in the event he was unable to do so. All just rumors at this time. Update 6-29-09 News of the World New of the World is considered a "tabloid" in the U.K., so take this with a grain of salt, although the speculation has long been floating around. Of Jackson's first two children with Debbie Rowe, she allegedly said this:

Debbie said she was "impregnated" like one of the thoroughbred mares she now keeps on her property, adding: "I was just the vessel. It wasn't Michael's sperm.

There are many direct quotes, allegedly from Rowe in the above article.

Paris Jackson - Prince Jackson, I

Update 6-29-09: The MirrorUK is reporting (and perhaps speculating) that Michael Jackson's children prefer to live with Michael's mother, Katherine Jackson. This article says that Debbie Rowe "is considering revealing Jackson's darkest secrets in a no-holds-barred book if she doesn't get custody..." Deepak Chopra, said to be a close friend of MJ's, introduced the nanny, Grace Rwaramba, to Michael. Chopra doubts that Grace will try to get custody of the children, although she is the only woman, alledgedly, that they have called "Mom." And this:

A Jackson associate said:"Michael constantly let people down when it came to money. He kept them hanging on by promising to pay his debts. "Now it's open season for the people he burned."

The same article says that an "unknown European" was the surrogate for Jackson's third child, Prince Michael "Blanket" Jackson. Update 6-28-09: Michael's father, Joe Jackson, says he and Michael's mother, Katherine have "sole authority to act on Michael's behalf. Update 6-29-09: Katherine Jackson, Michael Jackson's mother filed for guardianship over the three children. That requested was granted today. The extent of the details of the guardianship are unknown at this time. Update 6-30-09 : Debbie Rowe Not Bio Mom of Jackson Children? Jackson Children Egg and Sperm Donors Unknown Funeral Update 9-06-09: On September 5th, over two months after the death of Michael Jackson, he was finally laid to rest in his gold casket in Forest Lawn Cemetary in the Great Mausoleum. Wearing silver gloves and black arm bands, the Jackson brother's carried the casket of the littlest brother. His children reportedly "placed a crown on their father's coffin to signify the final resting place of the King of Pop. Ushers were dancers hired to appear onstage with Michael during his London comeback tour. Clifton Davis sang the song he wrote for the Jackson 5, Never Can Say Goodbye. Lisa Marie Presely and Elizabeth Taylor attended the funeral estimated to cost more than $1 million. This report has excellent photos and a good video of family and friends arriving at the service, which was scheduled for 7 p.m. but began more than a hour late.

Mark Lester, an actor, close friend of Michael Jackson and the godfather to Jackson's children, says he believes that Paris Jackson is his daughter.

Lester says that Michael Jackson asked him to be a sperm donor. Lester, who gained fame in the movie Oliver, says he is willing to take a paternity test and points to the strong resemblance between his daughter Harriet and Paris. He wants contact with Michael's children and says there is a "special bond" between his family and Michael's. Lester said it is very upsetting and heartbreaking not to see all the children.

Geraldo Michael Jackson Handlers: Joe Jackson Handlers Responsible for Michaels Death

Geraldo tonight is breaking news in the Michael Jackson story. According to Geraldo, he spoke by phone with both Katherine and Joe Jackson about 30 minutes ago. Joe Jackson has a suspicion about who is responsible for his son's death. See update on Paris Jackson's paternity below.

Joe Jackson - Michael Jackson

Disclaimer: The following is live-blogging. I make no guarantees of accuracy.

Geraldo's FOX show on August 1, 2009
did not want her voice recorded but allegedly told Geraldo that stories about Joe Jackson, her husband and Michael's father, not being allowed in Katherine's home (known as "The Compound,") are not true. Katherine and Joe are not estranged. Joe is not kept away from any of the children in the family, including Michael's children. She said the stories that Michael was abused by his father 39 years ago are not true. Michael was spanked by Joe but never beaten. Later it was said that Joe "strapped" Michael when he was young.

Then Joe Jackson came on the phone and we can hear his voice. He says he believes Dr. Conrad Murray is the "fall guy." He believes some one or some ones "high up in the food chain" in the handlers, who I believe is AEG, brought about the death of Michael. Joe Jackson did not say how AEG would have done this. Joe told Geraldo to "read between the lines." Joe said "they are afraid." Geraldo asked "who is afraid." Joe said "why did they have O.D. insurance." [Is this overdose insurance - I don't know and it was not explained.] Joe asked "why did they pay him American dollars...should have be pounds." [Perhaps a reference to the London concert planners???]

Joe said Michael was sacrificed on the alter of profit." "Sacrificed for money." Joe said "Michael was afraid." Either Geraldo or Joe said "handlers killed him." Jackson did not die in his own bedroom. He died in a 2nd story bedroom. It was said to be Dr. Conrad Murray's storage room. Geraldo and Joe Jackson signed off the phone mentioning an appointment at 10 a.m. tomorrow morning.

A first guest on Geraldo's show (sorry, could not get his name): He described the bedroom where Michael died. There was an "ambubag air pump" at the end of the bed. "Ambubag" may be misspelled. An ambubag air pump forces air through a mask into a patient's lungs to keep the patient alive. The ambubag had been used. An incontinence sheet was on the bed, speculated to catch fluids, perhaps blood.

There were Arabic prayer beads on the bed. The show guest says he has photos of Michael wearing the prayer beads recently. The guest said there is speculation about the London concerts. Maybe the concerts were never going to take place at all, he said. I believe a second guest came on at this point. I cannot identify the guest. He said that AEG has either claimed there is a conspiracy theory against them, or he speculated that is what AEG will say. After the guest, someone on the show said that the bedroom was extremely clean.

Al Sharpton came on. He said Michael told him he was afraid. Michael did not tell Sharpton why he was afraid. Geraldo's brother (I think Craig) came on by remote. He had search warrants for Conrad Murray's home. Drugs and aliases for Michael were searched for and found. Craig interviewed a doctor. I think it was previously taped. I believe it was Michael's plastic surgeon, but I did not get the name.

This doctor said that Michael became addicted in 1993. He said that Dr. Arnold Klein and his nurse, Debbie Rowe, began ejecting Demerol to Michael. By 1997, this doctor believes that Dr. Klein had administered Propofol to Michael numerous times. According to all reports, Michael died of a Propofol injection. This plastic surgeon believes that Dr. Klein taught Dr. Conrad Murray to administer Propofol to Michael. The plastic surgeon said he believed Dr. Murray has told the police about Dr. Klein and has plead-down (to a lower crime) for giving up information about Dr. Arnold Klein. Geraldo then announced that Dr. Conrad Murray had just entered a plea.

PLEASE NOTE: I'm blogging this live. Please do not consider anything a direct quote. It might be direct but I cannot guarantee it. They said it, and I tried to word process it. Somewhere after the first guest, a second guest I cannot identify came on.

Conrad Murray is Michael Jackson Doctor Suspect?

TMZ, with a sensational banner saying Authorities Closing in on Jackson Doc, is reporting that the "central target" in the death of Michael Jackson is Dr. Conrad Murray, and TMZ says their source is the Los Angeles Police Department. Stunning UPDATE Regarding Dr. Murray. See Below. New Paris Jackson Paternity - see below.

Dr. Conrad Murray

Dr. Murray was in the house at the time of Michael's cardiac arrest. From TMZ:

Sources say the doctor is not cooperating with authorities, but they have still found evidence linking him to the drug that may have killed Jackson. There is evidence Propofol was administered to Jackson shortly before his heart stopped beating. And we're told there is evidence Dr. Murray may have administered the drug.

Dr. Murray delayed calling 911 because, he said, he did not know Jackson's house address. Other doctors are still of interest. TMZ reports that Jackson employees have complained that Dr. Arnold Klein, Jackson's dermatologist, was using the name of Jackson employees to prescribe drugs that would find their way to Michael. Remember the reports of the needle marks found all over Michael's body? You can read the latest here. Update August 1, 2009: On Geraldo tonight, Michael's father Joe Jackson, intimated that he thinks Michael's handlers killed him. Later in the show there are comments from a guest and Geraldo's brother Craig, indicating that AEG (handlers???) - "someone high up in the food chain," played a part in the death. The short story from one of the guests is that Dr. Murray may have been set-up.

Arnold Klein is Bio Dad of Michael Jacksons Children? Michael Jackson had Lupus?

First there are reports that Michael Jackson's dermatologist, Arnold Klein, is the bio dad of his oldest two children, Prince I and Paris Katherine. Update - See Below BREAKING NEWS about Dr. Klein. See new update on Paris Jackson's paternity below.

Michael Jackson's Children

Dr. Klein, a professor of Medicine and Dermatology at UCLA Medical School, appeared with Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America, and says "as far as he knows," he is not the father of these two children. That's "as far as" he "knows." Reports attributed to "multiple sources" say this:

He is the dad, says a Jackson insider. He and Debbie signed an agreement saying they would never reveal the truth.

Dr. Arnold Klein is the long-time dermatologist who has cared for Michael Jackson and treated him for skin disorders and Lupus. He is also a long-time friend. The mother of Prince I and Paris, Debbie Rowe, was a nurse working in Dr. Klein's office when she first met Michael. From one of the first reports on June 30th, came this statement from Dr. Klein's attorney:

Dr. Klein is aware of media reports connecting him to Michael Jackson. Because of patient confidentiality Dr. Klein will make no statement on any reports or allegations.

In the meantime, Debbie Rowe's attorney responded to reports that she is not the biological mother of Prince I and Paris, but rather only a surrogate. Rowe says this report is false and extremely hurtful. In another report, Dr. Klein said that he has given Michael sedating drugs for medical procedures in the past but has never given him powerful drugs like Propofol (Diprivan).

I was not one of the doctors who participated in giving him overdoses of drugs or too much of anything," Dr. Arnold Klein said in an interview that aired Wednesday on ABC's "Good Morning America." ''In fact, I was the one who limited everything, who stopped everything.

Maybe the biggest surprise was Klein saying that he diagnosed Michael Jackson with Lupus years ago. Lupus is a serious auto-immune disease affecting organs, skin, joints, blood cells, heart and lungs. Klein said that while he has sedated Jackson in the past, it was for painful treatments to address Lupus and acne scarring.

I had to restructure a person's, individual, who had Lupus and who had terrible acne scarrings, face, rebuild the structure of a face. When you do this at times you have to sedate him with a very mild level of drugs - nothing like they are describing.

Dr. Klein said he not one of the five doctors of interest suspected in giving Jackson inappropriate and deadly treatment. Watch the video here. Klein said he saw Michael only three days before he died, and he saw nothing startling about his health:

He danced in my office, he said. He danced for my patients

Update August 1, 2009: On Geraldo's show tonight, there was breaking news. A conversation with Joe Jackson and other guests. A doctor made the comment that Dr. Arnold Klein addicted Michael in 1993 with injections of demerol, along with ex-wife, Debbie Rowe. Then he says that Klein began administering propofol to Michael in 1997, and taught Conrad Murray to do the same.

John Branca John McClain are Michael Jackson Estate Executors

Today, a judge upheld Michael Jackson's written will, and granted co-executor rights to John Branca and John McClain, an attorney and a music industry executive. See update on Paris Jackson paternity below.

Michael Jackson Estate - Neverland Ranch

In 2002, Jackson signed the will that specified John Branca and John McClain as the Jackson Estate executors. The judge ruled that Branca and McClain keep Michael's mother, Katherine Jackson "apprised of their dealings." Branca and McClain said that they would "would carry out Jackson's wishes and maximize his estate's value." At the time of the will, Jackson's estate was estimated to be worth $500 million, but today his debt is estimated at $400 million.

Jackson owned one-half of Sony-ATV, which controls a music catalogue which includes songs from The Beatles and other artists and has been valued as high as $1 billion. Jackson also owned a company that controlled the rights to music he recorded during his solo career, and its value is expected to rise over time.

Rumors are that Michael's money, is there is any left, will be divided among his children, his mother and his charities. This reports say that a "no-contest clause in the will prevents any beneficiary from contesting the distribution of the estate. If any beneficiary does protest the will, that beneficiary will be stricken from the will. Katherine Jackson attempted to secure executorship from Branca and McClain. That request was denied. Mrs. Jackson's attorney made it clear to the judge that she was not contesting the will:

Katherine's lawyer raised concerns about Branca's relations with Michael. After working together for 20 years, Branca and Michael drifted apart in 2006. However just three weeks before his death, Michael re-inducted Branca into his team.

Branca's lawyer showed the court a letter from Michael dated June 17, 2009, just eight days before his death, in which Michael reiterated that he wants Branca in control of his affairs.

Katherine's attorneys also suggested that McClain should be excluded because of an alleged "infirmity," though his lawyer said McClain was in "fine mental capacity."

While the judge ruled in favor of Branca and McClain administering the estate as wished by Michael, he directed them to seek court approval for decisions involving marshaling the assets, attorney's fees, and settling claims and actions.

The court also asked the administrators to execute a $1 million bond to protect the estate from any misappropriation of the estate.

The will is said to have been in the possession of John Branca, so it's convenient that Jackson rehired him just days before his death. Twenty percent is said to be going to "unspecified" children's charities, 40% to his mother and 40% divided between his children. Some gossip from January 2009: Reports in the U.K. were rampant that Jackson was dying of a genetic lung disease and planned to will-back his ownership portion of the Beatles' music catalog. In 1985, Michael Jackson out-bid Paul Cartney to take ownership of the Beatles' music catalog.

U.K. newspaper the Daily Mirror quotes a Jackson insider as saying, "Michael told his lawyers he was sad he no longer talks to Sir Paul and said he wanted to make things right.

Jackson and McCartney ended their friendship over the the transaction, but the bottom line is Jackson valued the catalog more than did McCartney. McCartney could have had it his way and placed the highest bid. He didn't. Jackson's unofficial Brit biographer, Ian Halperin, has spawned rumors of a lung disease and even predicted that Jackson would be dead within 6 months. Jackson died 6 months and 1 day after Halperin's comment. Now come rumors that Jackson knew he was dying, and so the talk of McCartney getting his music catalog back.

Rowe Jackson Not Bio Parents of Jackson Children? Jackson Children Egg and Sperm Donors Unknown

Reports today confirm what many have long believed: Debbie Rowe's eggs were not used to fertilize the babies she gave birth to, and Michael Jackson's sperm was also not used in the fertilization, according to a TMZ exclusive. See updates below. See new update on Paris Jackson's paternity below.

Debbie Row Not Bio Mom Of Jackson Children? In Vitro

All three children were reportedly conceived outside the womb, or "in vitro." TMZ says their sources are "deeply connected" to the births. They are reporting that the mother-surrogate of Prince Michael "Blanket," the youngest child, was never told the identity of who her child's father, or guardian, would be. Blanket was born in a San Diego hospital and a Jackson attorney picked up the boy when he was three days old. When Rowe said that she gave the "gift of her womb" to Michael, it appears to be the truth if the TMZ report is true. TMZ points out that Rowe and Jackson were married at the time of the births of the two oldest children, and even though she is not the bio Mom she might have a claim to the children in the court's eyes, should she seek custody.

We know there are documents outlining the whole arrangement for the birth of all three kids. Nonetheless, it's still an open issue with the courts.

Update 6-30-09: TMZ further reports that Jackson NEVER adopted his children, although he is listed as the father on all three birth certificates.

Jackson Nanny Grace Rwaramba: Grace Has Ties With Nation of Islam? Jackson Couldn't Sing

Remember when the Nation of Islam became Michael Jackson's security detail and we were all thinking...what's a Witness (yes, he was raised as a Jehovah's Witness) doing surrounded by the Nation of Islam? It was about a year-and-a-half-ago that London papers screamed the news of Michael Jackson's Islamic conversion...following in the footsteps of his brother Jermaine...or was it Grace...or did it happen at all? See updates below. See update on Paris Jackson's paternity below.

Nanny Grace Rwaramba

Ian Halperin at the UK Mail Online says Nanny Grace Rwaramba had ties to the militant Nation of Islam. With her help, he embraced Louis Farrakhan and Leonard Muhammad, Farrakhan's son to the position of "business manager" for awhile. After the child molestation trial, Jackson moved to Bahrain, then Dubai and wore women's Arab dress and some say, even used the women's toilets. Now what is a good Arab man to think about that?

Forbes had an article up this week "Arab world mourns Michael Jackson." It seems the Muslim world loves Michael because of the possibility that he converted to Islam, but what about all those infidel-like ways of Michael's. Doesn't anyone read the Koran????? Halperin's article is ripe: 1) Jackson could no longer sing due to a genetic lung condition 2) Jackson has worn a wig for years because his hair was so thin. 3) Jackson is definitely homosexual and had his trists often This is a revealing article that rings of the truth from someone who seems to have an inside connection to Michael Jackson, his family and others surrounding him. Most of it, you and I could have pondered only a moment or two, woven our own story and had it turn out exactly like Halperin's because none of it is far-fetched. I was shocked, however, to consider that Jackson could no longer sing, but it makes sense whether he had a genetic condition or because he abused himself physically for so many years. And who wouldn't guess that he wore wigs? Fifty-year-old hair doesn't "shine" like his usually did, and hair with African DNA doesn't hang straight and swingy, as did Michael's. Halperin seems to be a U.K. celebrity reporter and Michael Jackson's biographer - unofficial biographer, I'm guessing. Halperin is the man who famously predicted that Michael Jackson would be dead in six months - that was six months and one day before Michael Jackson died. Update 6-29-09: A reader points out that Grace Rwaramba has denied introducing MJ to the Nation of Islam.

House of Representatives Weird Tribute: Michael Jackson's "Big Heart" Remembered

Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D-IL) led our esteemed U.S. House of Representatives in a "one minute recess" tribute to King of Pop, Michael Jackson - and was a "weird" tribute, as most things with Congress these days fit the "weird" category.

Jesse Jackson, Jr.

Michael Jackson was an extraordinary entertainer, once upon a time. More recent, he has been just a weird and freakish person shunning who God made him. Jesse Jackson, Jr. remembered him in this bazaar statement:

His heart couldn't get any bigger, and yesterday, it arrested," said Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. "I come to the floor today on behalf of a generation to thank God for letting all of us live in his generation and in his era."

Although Michael Jackson is reported to make $20 million per year, he is said to owe $400 million. When $20 million a year is not enough to live on, and pay your everyday expenses, like your pharmacy bill, something is wrong...most of which can be easily explained as a character flaw.

A Jackson associate said:"Michael constantly let people down when it came to money. He kept them hanging on by promising to pay his debts.

If this is a legacy, Congress needs to examine it and do some explaining to America. Shame on Congress for this act of submission. A tribute to Pvt. William Long would have been appropriate because he was gunned down by a Muslim. He was hunted down and murdered because he was a soldier...murdered at the behest of the most intense threat, of all threats to our country, Islam. Everyday...every single day, Congress should open with a moment of silence to those who have died protecting the United States because Islam exists. We do not need tributes in Congress to the likes of Michael Jackson. Leave that to the entertainment industry where it belongs, or churches or...but not on the floor of Congress Related: Geraldo on Michael Jackson, and Jackson Handlers: Joe Jackson Speaks on Who is Responsible for Michael's Death Arnold Klein is Bio Dad of Michael Jackson's Children?

Grace Rwaramba is Michael Jacksons Childrens Nanny

Some news outlets are reporting that Michael Jackson may have planned for his children's nanny, Grace Rwaramba, to raise his children in the event he was unable to do so. But is Grace Rwaramba Michael Jackson's children's Nanny? Reports are mixed. Updates below. See new update on Paris Jackson's paternity below.

Grace Rwaramba

In 2006, the UK Daily Mail reported that the Jackson children call Ms. Rwaramba "Mom." This particular article seems to be inaccurate on at least one level, seeing wedding bells in the near future for the two...in 2006. This report says that she was married at the time to Stacey Adair but that they have not lived together, and that she is "religious."

In a rare public utterance, she was asked about who was behind the accusations of abuse against her employer. 'Satan, the devil,' she said. While the rest of the world is perturbed by the accounts of Jackson regularly sleeping in the same bed as ten and 11-year-old boys, there is no doubt in her mind that he is a complete innocent.

She and Bain [Jackson spokeswoman] have been behind recent changes in manager, lawyer and record label, and the two of them firmly believe that he can and will make a comeback to the spotlight when the time is right.

MISS Rwaramba has returned to Bible study, and is believed to be a Jehovah's Witness again, as he is. She is entrusted with feeding the children, and shares his obsessive concerns about sterility and cleanliness. 'Everything is done Grace's way,' says an observer.

Other reports from 2007 and Fall 2008 saying that Grace has Lupus and needed Michael's help, both spiritually and financially, are unconfirmed.

Update 6-28-09: The MirrorUK is reporting (and perhaps speculating) that Michael Jackson's children prefer to live with Michael's mother, Katherine Jackson. This article says that Debbie Rowe "is considering revealing Jackson's darkest secrets in a no-holds-barred book if she doesn't get custody..." Deepak Chopra, said to be a close friend of MJ's, introduced the nanny, Grace Rwaramba, to Michael. Chopra doubts that Grace will try to get custody of the children, although she is the only woman, alledgedly, that they have called "Mom." And this:

A Jackson associate said:"Michael constantly let people down when it came to money. He kept them hanging on by promising to pay his debts. "Now it's open season for the people he burned."

The same article says that an "unknown European" was the surrogate for Jackson's third child, Prince Michael "Blanket" Jackson. Update 6-29-09: Grace Rwaramba had ties to the Nation of Islam Update 6-29-09: Grace Rwaramba was in London when Michael died. She indicates in this article that Michael fired her after she attempted an "intervention" with one of his sisters and his mother.
