The disenablers around Jackson didn’t stand a chance against the money that others willingly took.
Disenablers of the month:
Michael Jackson’s nanny, Grace Rwaramba, 42, who was fired in December 2008 for proposing an intervention for Michael. “He didn’t want to listen,” she says. She added, “That was one of the times he let me go.” At least you tried, Grace. But you had to battle the likes of Cherilyn Lee and her cohorts. You didn’t stand a chance.
University of Southern California sociologist Julie Albright, who observed that celebrity doctors may have questionable pasts or significant debts. “Some of these people might not be the most successful doctors, so the money will [not only allow them to make large amounts of money, but also] buy their complicity in fueling a drug” addiction. Elvis had such a doctor, and so did Anna Nicole Smith and Marilyn Monroe. While Albright didn’t specifically mention Dr. Conrad Murray, the implication is clear.
Author and alternative medical practitioner Deepak Chopra, who wrote that his friend Michael Jackson “was surrounded by enablers, including a shameful plethora of M.D.s in Los Angeles and elsewhere who supplied him with prescription drugs. As many times as he would candidly confess that he had a problem, the conversation always ended with a deflection and denial.” Good for you, Deepak, in recognizing that those who supplied the drugs were shameful enablers.
