"Daily" Drug Habit
Filed under: Michael Jackson > Sad Sad
Michael Jackson's family is now saying it may have been his daily injections of Demerol that led to his death.
Demerol is a morphine-like drug prescribed for severe pain.
How heartbreaking that Jackson felt the need to numb his life by taking daily Demerol shots.
Those close to him are saying that yesterday's dose, which he received at 11:30 a.m., may have been "too much."
We'll have to wait for the autopsy to know for sure.
Whether he received the drug for persistent pain or because he was addicted, either way, it's sad.

Wow…that's some potent stuff. I had C section and was injected w' morphine and I felt nothing….so they gave something stronger..it was Demerol and I can honestly say i was the best high ever….. I can't imagine feeling or functioning every day with that stuff. Sad…
First.
I heard he snorted jizz thrice a day
In retrospect….
I personally am suprised MJ lived this long…He was a very troubled soul…
RIP
RIP
I'm still amazed that his BFF Elizabeth Taylor outlived him. I bet she unfortunately doesn't even understand what happened.
why speculate? let the coroner office do their job. enough speculation, no more disrespecting the artist by what could be false
Pharmaceutical companies and Doctors are to blame for his death…
he didnt need no prescription for those drugs…
the pharmaceutical companies are the biggest drug dealing criminals in the country
Perez, Im going to beat the shit out of you for that one!
perez fuck u..why would u say such ridiculous words about someone who passed away
So sad and unfortunately something "negative" now that the world will condemn him for. My heart is broken….
when are you going to apologize for what you did yesterday Perez? When?
Bet he never thought he would go out like this!
damn, advertisers are dropping like flies
Ah come on man,
youre the first one to bash him when he's alive and now its "heartbreaking that Jackson felt the need to numb his life by taking daily Demerol shots"?
Real nice..! where i come from, Being picked on constantly by the media (lets not forget the queen of all) has tendency to bring in some serious psychological damage, DAH.
I know its your job to report what happens in all Hollywood, pop-culture and what-not. But there is ABSOLUTELY NO NECESSITY whatsoever for you to comment on them as if you were god almighty and AS IF anybody cared to hear what you think. Thats where you get in to trouble Perez, people want the gossip, but that doesn't mean they want YOUR input on it. You don't give news Perez, you give opinion, which gives reason for people to be pissed at you.
WHY NOT TRY OBJECTIVITY?
Remmeber when he was in court a few years ago there were reports of him acting kind of crazy and making faces and squeaky noises at the camera for periods. Definitly sounds like he was high.
If he was taking pain killers, what makes you think it was to numb himself because of his life? You didn't even know the guy so how can you even know how he felt and why he might have been using the drugs? You are an idiot.
The minute I heard of MJ's tragic death I knew it had to be drugs. The sad truth is that a so-called physician administered the lethal shot and for that he should be tried as a murderer.How is it that when people reach the highest levels of fame and fortune we just can't seem to keep them alive? Like others MJ was surrounded by greedy disgusting people who bled him of his $$$ while feeding him the drugs that kept him dancing and killed him. These are the monsters who will be accountable either in this life or the next. Celebrities beware of the vampires. Surround yourselves with family and true friends and not with those who don't care about you but only about your net worth.
Demerol to numb away all the guilt
I'd have to numb myself too if I had to go through what he went through … I hate what the media did to him!
REALLY PEREZ??? Is it SAD that you accused him of FAKING? And that he DIED? ARE YOU SORRY??? YOU SACK OF SHIT? DID you learn NOTHING by getting YOUR BITCH ASS BEAT??? More to come by your OWN HAND YOU FUCKO!!!
A lot of us must take meds to get through life. Not talking about blood press/cholest meds either, which I also take. Meds to survive a marriage, meds to cope with fame. RIP Michael.
Like I just tried to post MJ had several surgeries does any one think that he could have suffered severe nerve dmg due to this . He may have been living in pain everyday of his life…So DONT be surprised if this is how he fucking died. ITS NOT LIKE HE WAS LIVING IN A BACK ROOM OF HIS MOMS HOUSE GOING THROUGH HER PURSE FOR A COUPLE BUCKS FOR THE NEXT HIT.
Imagine being in total pain everyday of your life because you werent happy with the way you look…It is POSSIBLE
he died of a broken heart. RIP
PEREZ YOU ARE A DICK FOR WHAT YOU SAID. BUT……….I can understand why you said it when I was around the people when I found out he died no one believed it was true and they though he was just backing out of the tour. SOM EOF YOU DONT EVEN FUCKING LIKE HIS MUSIC AND YOU MAKE FUN OF HIM. So dont pretend you are fucking sad when you are not.
I loved his music so rock on. RIP
"Morphine" lyrics,
Composed and written by Michael Jackson
He got flat baby
Kick in the back baby
A heart attack baby
I need your body
A hot kiss honey
He's just a bitch baby
You make me sick baby
So unrelying
I'm such a swine baby
All down the line daddy
I hate your kind baby
So unreliable
A hot buzz baby
He's one of us baby
Another drug baby
You so desire
Trust in me
Trust in me
Put all your trust in me
You're doin' morphine
Hoo!
shattered….and thank you P for using only the best pictures of him.
Gorgeous picture of MJ…

(SUITE)
They got place baby
Kicked in the face baby
You hate your race baby
You're just a liar
Your every lick baby
Your dog's a bitch baby
You make me sick baby
You soul survivor
She never cut from me
She never cut baby
I had to work baby
You just a rival
Always to please daddy
Right up and leave daddy
You're throwing shame daddy
So undesirable
Trust in me
Just in me
Put all your trust in me
You're doin' morphine
Go'on babe
Relax
This won't hurt you
Before I put it in
Close your eyes and count to ten
Don't cry
I won't convert you
There's no need to dismay
Close your eyes and drift away
Demerol
Demerol
Oh God he's taking Demerol
He's not the first celebrity that was killed by the parasites that surrounded him and kept him from getting the help he needed…someone gave him these drugs.
Perez isn't condemning anyone. And I bet none of you got this pissed off when he said a similar thing about Anna Nicole Smith. You can't hold one death higher than another or say one article is worse than the other. Perez is sad he is gone too. He made a mistake with the article but he didn't expect that Michael wasn't going to walk out of there. Stop attacking Perez. HE is FAMOUS for speaking HIS mind. This is a BLOG after all. RIP Michael, Farrah, and Ed McMahon
It's hard to describe the empty feeling I have at Michael's death. I think he was a lonely person and didn't deserve to be. As Quincy Jones said "Someone like Michael only comes around once". I hope his family know how much he was idolised and appreciated for the entertainment and pleasure he gave to millions. I've been in tears on and off all day. I grew up with his music, my kids grew up with his music. God look after this very special, brilliant person. xxxxx

(SUITE 2)
He's tried
Hard to convince her
To be over what he had
Today he wants it twice as bad
Don't cry
I won't resent you
Yesterday you had his trust

Oooh
Oh!
He got shit baby
Your dog's a bitch baby
You make me sick baby
You are a liar
Is truth a game daddy
To win the fame baby
It's all the same baby
You're so reliable
Trust in me
Trust in me
Put all your trust in me
She's doin' morphine

Re: VonBytch.com – Hear Hear
Perez U are a disgusting, vile human being….if only you could be injected with a lethal dose of the bullsh*t you dish out daily. Do mankind a favor and shut your mouth…you are at best a "D" list celebrity with aspirations to be more, but that will never happen because you get back what you give to this world. And you got what you deserved…slapped in the face like the B*tch you are.
Word and agreed #20. It's amazing what mental distress can do physiologically that western medicine seems to blow off. Yes, MJ was a victim his almost entire life and he played the victim very well but he also perpetuated victimization on others probably justifying it with how victimized he was. I hope his kids will be freed. It's unfortunate people can't seperate the person from the talent & art. Without that talent, he was in essence a very bad person.
Re: maestro – Very well said
asshole, stop writing about michael!!
Michael was abused sexually, physically, and verbally beginning at a very young age. He always felt somehow ashamed for the way he was and what had happened to him. That's why he constantly was changing his appearance and etc. He did not like what he saw in the mirror. Whether or not he abused anyone, he was still a legend. Just watching his videos last night made me sit in awe, I had forgotten how talented he truly was. The way he danced like it was the easiest thing in the world, his voice was truly one of a kind. It will never be matched. I never looked at Michael at thought bad things or was digusted by him. I always saw him and felt bad for him. I guess I just saw a sad scared little boy that was trying so hard to mentally recapture the innocence he lost at such a young age. Very sad all around. I agree that Perez seems to be a bit of a hypocrite now that MJ is dead, saying all these nice things about it. If only you could of shown such kindness when he was alive.
RIP Michael
Ugh. I had Demoral twice when I was in labor with my kids. It was the most miserable "high" I've ever experienced. I still felt pain…but I was totally unable to verbalize it. I can't imagine actually wanting to be on it recreationally.
Re: IsaPerez – Arsehole!!!!
Your disrespectful site is why you got punched in the damn face!!
Re: Passionate – She does. Her rep said she will not be issuing a statement as she is too devastated. so sad.
Where do you get off assuming that he took demerol "to numb his life…"
Perhaps it was to numb pain in his joints from being 50 years old and having danced his entire life?
Athletes, dancers and performers ruin their bodies with a lifetime of over-use and pushing themselves to the limit…it is possible that he needed pain meds for actual pain?
Or maybe he just got tierd of everyone calling him a monster?
This is what look like perez; " This drug addicted accused pedophile had lot's of fucking problems, psycho fool, Rest in piece our "thought's " go out to family"… what about "prayers" you satanic asshole. You despise God that much that you don't even pray? Give a shout out to Satan, tell him not to have the burner's on too high for your hairy ass.
Re: Granny Panties – Lol. I agree!

I like this pic of him here. he looks handsome. michael you should have just stayed with this look!
::Yes, MJ was a victim his almost entire life and he played the victim very well but he also perpetuated victimization on others probably justifying it with how victimized he was. ::
Uh, you do know that both of his accusers had parents with criminal histories for suing people for false claims in the past, right? And that supposedly he also held them against their will and threw them in a hot air balloon and tried to send them to South America, right? Yes, they claimed that too. Perhaps you should have stuck to reading the court transcripts instead of the National Enquirer. Criminal histories aside, neither of those kids could keep a straight story for the life of them. The jury didn't buy it which is why they voted the way they did. They couldn't keep track of the story changes. Research, folks.
To all the posters who are bashing Michael Jackson, you all are tactless. I don't believe in cutting anyone down, after they have passed on. It is up to God to judge, not us imperfect humans. Although I'm not a big Perez fan of late, I do respect him for not posting the current tasteless pictures. RIP Michael.
its doesnt help that motherfuckers like u were talking shit about him his whole life. why do u think he was depressed .
I think it is absolutely ridiculous that you are one of the only media sources that blasts helpless people…especially when they have passed on. MJ had a troubled life and went through things nobody but him can know about and while he may have done some things we don't understand and may have been into RX drugs…like many celebs and I'm sure YOU PEREZ…is this really the time to be defacing someone's celebrity? I think you have the most insane disrespect for someone of the caliper of MJ and his grieving family. What does it matter who "speculates" what he did to pass on. Things will unfold publicly as they will so WHY start nasty rumors and force people to remember the negative. Flip the script Perez. If this had been YOU who died from a rightful punch in the face from Will.I.Am, would you want people to remember all the nasty things you said about the people who MADE your career? Or remember you as a decent journalist. I THOUGHT SO. Think about it you disrespectful fuck.
FDA WARNING DEMEROL
Supraventricular Tachycardias
Meperidine should be used with caution in patients with atrial flutter and other supraventricular tachycardias because of a possible vagolytic action which may produce a significant increase in the ventricular response rate.

OK, Perez MJ had a slew of health problems….he suffered from Lupus (an autoimmune disease) and vitiligo (a skin depigmentation disease). I don't think he got a shot to 'numb his pain away'. One of the major symptoms of Lupus is JOINT PAIN!!!! Yea, he probably was addicted, but I don't think it is right to assume bc he had opiate shots daily that he was unhappy in his life. Jussssss my opinion.
how disgusting that you're acting concerned and human now!!!
Re: The DOUCHEess – The shit you've been spouting on here in comments on all of these posts sound a lot more like someone who loves Satan than anything Perez posts. Look in the mirror before you go pointing your finger and criticizing someone else's behavior you stupid uneducated bitch.
Sweet cousin cocaine
lay ur cool ,cool hands on my head
come on sister morphine
you better make up my bed
cause you know and i know
in the morning
I'll be dead
and u can watch
the clean white sheets
turn to red****
He had lupus and pain associated with past surgeries. Let him die in peace you pathetic jerk
i wish there was someone aorund. WTH this could have been avoided
Re: l0veladygaga – You act crazy then people will call you crazy. You molest children, people will call you a child molester. I don't see how any of that is the fault of the rest of the world.
Who cares? I wish the fucking pedophile had croaked long ago.
Re: babydracula – uneducated? Uhh your stupid "ghetto" and "uneducated" racist remarks are gettin old. Go fuck your HIV infested pops bitch.
"Numb his life"-dumba$$ if he is in pain it's not to "numb his life" its to "numb his pain"-OMG even in death people's ignorance ATTEMPTS to reign supreme, but guess what……IT DOESN"T!!!!!!!!!!
Re: pinkchik – Re: pinkchik – #60 No way honey!The only person that could avoided this is Micheal.No one else except a padded cell…………..
poor guy,troubled soul,his inner nightmare we never knew,i feel so bad for him.sweet innerchild that never grew up.his doctors need to be in jail,like now,
Perez Hilton….you son of a bitch. up in here actin like u actually give a shit for this man. How DARE you say he was faking his cardiac arrest? And now u wanna act like u actually CARE? You are as fake as they come and by the time I'm through, this website will be GONE.
You ugly fat ass pink haired ugly ass….
Re: AtomicKitty –
totally agree
Words hurt as much as fist.
Perez, it is people like you who make life for people like him unbearable. You had a countdown on your page about when would Britney die, and yet you couldn't understand why she was severely depressed. To know that you have never intentionally done anypne wrong and yet they hate you so much, so intensively, would drive someone crazy. How often do you highlight the positive that someone does? How often do you just praise them for being human? You instead tear them down and can't understand why you receive the backlash like you did from the Will.I.am incident. I used to love your website, checking it multiple times a day, but as of the last ten months, maybe more, you have completely disgusted me. I can't believe you are attempting to fake concern now, especially when you dragged this man through the mud and took down your post about him faking to get out of the concert. If anything, stop posting about him and stand by your convictions of what you said earlier. You can contact me, you got my information.
umm not a single comment i leave comes up dumb fuck
Re: WMariah – They did me the same way after my C Section. Don't think I could use that everyday. After 3 days on it. I needed
something else. I kept going to sleep on people. it was not for me. But, it was good for the pain after the cut. He did have a lot of plastic surgery that could be where he may have got his taste for this drug. Anyway what does that matter now. He is gone. A great talent.
Re: babydracula –
Sorry but i couldnt help but notice your comment
Ummm so this is my opinion
It was alledged that he molested kidsss
All now. no evidence
Rumours is Hollyowods social network and you can say a 1000 times
I never did it , people hear what they want to hear and take what they wanna take
And most people took him as a pedophile even tho
He aint.
Re: DisorderlyMan –
Really ?
You wished he died alont time ago
Ignorant People like this are the reason that MJ took pain killers and became addicted.
He was a father, son , brother, and a very talented loving and gifted man.
Did this man touch you as a kid?
Did he fondle your genitals when you were a child ?
No …. so then how does he become a pedophile?
Because some kid with a money grubbin father says he isss?
Because the media says he is?
To this date, they cant find the proof so you show me the proof and
Give me your story with Micheal molesting you and then I'd agree with you
Until that day comes, please show some respect.
You hypocritical, narcissistic pig.
It's all about your image, isn't it, Perez? Hours before his death, you were making snide comments about the need to return tickets to his concert because he would be a no-show. And now it's 'heart-breaking'?
You know what, it's actually people like YOU in the media that drove him to take painkillers, because he could not deal with the scrutiny and horrible, untrue accusations.
Michael was a sensitive, kind soul that could not bear the burden of the uncaring and superficial comments made by negative people like you, Perez.
Stop trying to protect your own image, because we already know what you are.
whatever medicine it was or wasnt doesnt matter to me., how much ,how many times a day or whatever. the dr. or drs. involved should care and be investigated thouroughly. i dont think michaels pain so much physical but emotional. his life was traumatic from an early age till his untimely death. may he truely reat in peace now cause very few let him in real life.
this just makes me sad to know he had to numb the "pain" whatever it may have been. rip mj.
