第二部份訪問的文字稿影片目前還沒看到 http://tinyurl.com/ycd3y8t While the Jackson family portrayed a unified front at Michael Jackson's funeral, three of his former bodyguards said Jackson did not often see his family in the two years prior to his death."They didn't come around much and when they did, they came unexpected. And we'd say, 'Mr. Jackson, one of your family members is at the gate [and] would like to see you,' and he'd ask, 'Do they have an appointment?'" Bill Whitfield, one his former bodyguards, said. MJ過世前兩年很少跟他的家人見面如果他家人們要見他還要預約 Whitfield said family members were not allowed in if Jackson was "being creative," but that did not stop Jackson's youngest brother, Randy, from trying to see him. 就算如此MJ的小弟Randy還是想盡辦法要來見哥哥 "There was another occasion when Randy came to the house and crashed the security gate with his vehicle and came inside. And at the time, I didn't know who he was and I drew my weapon on him and the first thing out of his mouth was 'Get that thing out of my face or I'll call the press,'" Whitfield said, who said he put away his weapon when he realized it was Randy. 有一次Randy來了開車把大門撞爛進來一開始保鏢不知他是誰所以拿出了武器 Randy就說把那個東西給我拿開不然我就叫媒體來了保鑣後來才發現它是誰 Whitfield said Jackson was "not happy" and refused to see Randy. 保鑣說 MJ很不開心而且拒絕見Randy Taunya Zilkie, Randy Jackson's public relations representative, says she was with him that day. She told ABC News that she and Jackson were at the Las Vegas house that day but never made it on to the property. And Zilkie denied that a gun was pulled. Randy的發言人跟ABC說當天她是跟Randy一起去LV見MJ的他們沒見到人而他們否認保鑣有掏槍出來 Zilkie said ABC News Randy Jackson went to Jackson's home that day for an "intervention" but was refused entry into the house. Randy發言人說那天Randy是要去"干預" 一些事情但不被允許進入房子 The three bodyguards said that Randy tried to sneak in behind them as the doors to the gate were closing and hit the gate as he came though. Zilkie said Randy did not hit the gate. 保鑣說Randy嘗試在他們要把門關起來時偷溜進去 Whitfield, Mike Garcia and Javon "BJ" Beard met Jackson in 2007 and worked as his bodyguards for more than two years. The three men said they were exposed to personal and very distressing parts of Jackson's life, such as a family intervention in 2007 for Jackson's alleged drug abuse. 保鑣說 J家人曾在07年要介入MJ的藥癮問題 "I get a call about 12:30 [pm], 'Bill, you need to come back, his whole family is here.' And I was taken aback," Whitfield said. 其中一個保鑣說他在中午接到電話說要趕快回來因為他MJ家全家人都殺到MJ家了 Jackson said he would only meet with his brothers, according to the bodyguards. But instead of allowing them into the house, they said Jackson met his brothers outside in the security trailer. MJ當時只願意見他的兄弟們但他不願意他們進屋子而只願意在警衛室跟他們談 Beard and Whitfield said Jackson seemed "fine" afterward and simply left the trailer and went back to the house. 他們說MJ在談完話後似乎心情還不錯就直接回到屋子裡了 In November, Janet Jackson told "Good Morning America's" Robin Roberts that she had unsuccessfully reached out to Jackson over the years about his drug use. 在11月 Janet對同樣節目的訪問中也談到這幾年他們一直嘗試想介入其中但都不成功 "I did," she said. "Of course, that's what you do. Those are the things that you do when you love someone. You can't just let them continue on that way. And we did a few times. We weren't very successful." Janet當時說我們試過了當你愛一個人時你就會這麼做你不能讓他這樣繼續下去我們試過好幾次了但都不是很成功 Despite these interventions, the bodyguards said Jackson did not seem like he had a drug problem. 但保鏢說除了J家有嘗試想介入之外在他們眼裡看來MJ並沒有藥物問題 "He was intoxicated in some way, but I wouldn't say a problem, no," Garcia said. 他有時的確好像有點受藥物影響但並不是非常明顯到成為問題 "Certainly there were times where he gave the appearance that he was probably high on something," Whitfield said. 他的確有時的表現是很像受藥物影響而很high The men said this would happen "once or twice a month." 大概一個月會發生一兩次 Jackson died June 25 from a lethal combination of prescription drugs. Dr. Conrad Murray allegedly administered the drugs and has been charged with involuntary manslaughter. Last month, Murray pleaded not guilty in a Los Angeles court. The bodyguards said Murray was the only doctor they saw while they worked for Jackson, but that Murray wasn't there all the time. 保鑣說 Murray是唯一一個幫MJ工作的醫生但他並不是隨時都在那 "When he came onto the scene, he was taking care of the kids. The kids had colds and stuff," Garcia said. He added that he thinks Murray is a "scapegoat." 他通常來的時候都是來照顧小朋友可能感冒了之類他們認為Murray是替罪羔羊 "I never thought it was the fault of one person," Whitfield said. 其中一個保鑣說我從來不認為這只是一個人的錯 In addition to being his bodyguard, Whitfield was also Jackson's gatekeeper. He said he handled Jackson's personal e-mails and phone calls. 除了擔任保鑣之外其中一人也像是他的助理處理MJ的Email和電話 "There wasn't a phone call or paperwork on our watch that didn't go through this man right here," Beard said, referring to Whitfield. 所有的電話和文件都會經過這個人 The paperwork, Whitfield said, showed millions of dollars in debts, much of it owed to law firms, and millions more being paid out. 他說帳單顯示 MJ欠了好幾千萬元大多是欠給律師事務所還有很多是和解金 "$38 million," Whitfield said. 三千八百萬 "$10 million…$20 million," Garcia added. 一千萬兩千萬..... But despite these payments, the men said sometimes it took Jackson months to pay them. 而MJ需要好幾個月才能付清 "I'm seeing all these zeroes and we can't get a $5,000 check," Whitfield said. 我會看見這些好多0的帳單但卻沒收到5000的支票 "It was going out faster that it was coming in," Garcia said. 花出去的錢遠多於進帳的錢 Long after the 2005 child ******ation case, the men said Jackson was still being sued and he chose to settle outside of court. 在05年的案子之後 MJ還是常被人告而他每次都選擇和解了事 "We'd go to lawyers' offices and we'd be there from 10 a.m. until midnight," Garcia said. 我們會去律師事務所從早上十點一直到半夜 Eventually, this took its toll on Jackson. 而這些都要算鐘點費的 "He got so frustrated he threw my cell phone out the window, through the window, and broke the glass," Whitfield said. "And he looked at me and said, 'Bill, you're going to need a new phone.'" 有一次他沮喪到拿著我的電話砸出窗戶然後他看著我說你需要一支新電話了 The men described credit cards being declined on at least four different occasions and hotels evicting them. 他們也說MJ的信用卡至少曾四次被拒收導致飯店要把他們掃地出門 "We were asked to leave hotels because the credit card on file was denied," Whitfield said. 我們被要求要離開飯店因為登錄的信用卡被拒 In fact, the men said Jackson could not afford to attend longtime friend Jesse Jackson's 66th birthday party. 他們也說 MJ無法支付旅費去參加好友Jesse Jackson 66歲的生日宴會 "Jessie Jackson put up his credit card to fly the entire staff and team out and put us up in a hotel three nights," Whitfield said. 最後是Jessie Jackson出錢把所有人請去還付了三天的住宿費 Although the King of Pop's empire was crumbling, the bodyguards said he was not physically prepared to save it. At the time of Jackson's death, he was preparing his comeback, launching a "This Is It" tour at the age of 50. 談到MJ的50場演出 "I don't think he was physically healthy enough… to perform the shows they expected of him," Whitfield said. 我不認為他身體健康到能表演他們期望他做到的這麼多場演出 "If you [were] with him, you would hear him [say] that he's in pain sometimes …He would tell me, 'right now is not a good day,'" Whitfield said. 如果你跟在他身邊的話你會知道他有時是處於疼痛之中他會跟我說今天感覺不太好 The men said that although Jackson loved being in front of a crowd, he was pressured to perform because of dwindling finances. 他們說雖然MJ很愛舞台但卻是迫於經濟壓力而重登舞台 The three bodyguards said they were not in Los Angeles when Jackson died in June but attended his memorial at the Los Angeles Staples Center. 他們三人在MJ死的時候並沒有在他身邊輪值但他們出席了追思會 "I looked around, I looked at a lot of celebrities, a lot of stars…and it just made me wonder, where were they?" Whitfield asked. 我看了四週看到這麼多名人這麼多巨星我不禁想問他們之前在哪 "Were these some of the people who turned their back on him after the second trial?" Whitfield said, referring to Jackson twice being accused of child ******ation. Jackson settled the first case in 1993 and was found not guilty in the 2005 criminal trial. 他們這些人有許多在05年第二次官司中遺棄了他 "The guy was so lonely, where were they?" Garcia asked. MJ這麼的寂寞而這些人當時在哪裡呢? The men said they did not "even want to talk about" seeing the children on stage at the memorial. "It was unbelievable," Garcia said. 他們說他們甚至不想談起看到那些孩子們上台時的感想這一切都難以置信 They tried to reach the children on stage following the memorial, they said, but the three kids were already gone. 他們嘗試在追思會後去看小孩們但發現他們早就走了 When asked what the bodyguards would like to say to Jackson's children, the three men became visibly emotional. 當被問到想跟MJ三個小孩說什麼他們三人都變的非常激動 "I'm a little speechless on that right now," Whitfield said. 我現在有點不知該說些什麼 "Certainly we hope that we did the best that we could to make them feel like kids and provide them with things to make them feel comfortable," Whitfield said. 我們當然希望我們盡到了最大的努力讓他們像一般的孩子一樣讓他們覺得舒適 Garcia said he wants them to know that they "were everything to [their] father." 另一人說我只想讓他們知道對他們父親而言他們就是他的一切 The men said that Jackson is watching over his children now, and that they are all very proud of them. 他們說MJ現在會在天上照看他的孩子們而他們全部為這些孩子感到驕傲如果他們說的屬實我一直以為MJ財務問題是被嚴重誇大了唉~~ 他後幾年真的過的太辛苦了現在真的是在更好的地方了 Q Q -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 130.85.56.84 ※ 編輯: oldtrafford 來自: 130.85.56.84 (03/11 01:27)
