MJ's Dermatologist Fueled His Addiction, Fellow Doc Claims

Filed under: Legal Matters > Michael Jackson

michaeljacksonbw.jpg

More shady details are bubbling to the surface as investigators peer more deeply into the details of Michael Jackson's history with painkillers and anesthetics.

In 2003, Dr. Harvey Richmond, a gynecologist specializing in vaginal rejuvination, was approached by MJ's dermatologist/cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Arnold Klein, who asked to use Richmond's offices to perform a minor acne treatment on Jackson under full anesthesia (the offices were next door to each other). 

Richmond thought it was "odd," that Klein should use full anesthesia for "some sort of acne treatment," but acquiesced nonetheless and arranged for an anesthesiologist and scrub tech who worked on Jackson. 

What's more, apparently Jackson wouldn't pay the bill until Richmond threatened to take the singer to Beverly Hills small claims court.

Dr. Klein is SKETCHY!  Obviously he knew full anesthesia was not protocol for the procedure. He didn't even have the resources to do it in his own offices!

Why would Richmond EVER comply if he thought it was "odd"?

The whole thing is equal parts sad and peculiar.

    1. 1

      JESUS CHRIST let the poor man rest in peace already!



    2. 2

      …that damn doc.



    3. 3

      I have always thought Dr. Klein is guilty of fueling Michael's addiction. This guy should go down too.



    4. 4

      The doc is at major fault. But so is Michael staff, family, and everyone else who knew he had issues. But to be honest Michael is most to blame. Apparently he craved this and who cares anyways.



    5. 5

      you live in Hollywood right? Don't act like you don't know!

    6. YUCK says – reply to this


      6

      michael jackson was a drug addict but people like klein need to have their licenses revoked and jailed. instead of making people feel better they fuel their addictions in to death. Michael Jackson was murdered.



    7. 7

      It was Michael Jackson who didn't pay the dang bill. Classic…..



    8. 8

      Tisk tisk*



    9. 9

      rejuv-en-ation, from rejuvenate, not rejuvination….spelling perez!



    10. 10

      Perez stop reporting crap.. If I said Perez is sleeping with Christina aguilera does it make it true.. no it doesnt and Michael didnt have acne except when he was young



    11. 11

      Um, you also have to say that Jackson is Sketchy, he had a history of never paying his bills and it has been stated that HE demanded to be put under for even minor surgeries. So if that doctor was the dealer, Jackson was still the demanding Junkie



    12. 12

      For the love of God, ENOUGH about MJ.



    13. 13

      Doesn't people have more important things to do than to make up thousands of stories about MJ? Are peoples lifes really that rotten?!? How can they be so heartless and disrespectful, not only to him but to his children, brothers and sisters, parents and the rest of his family, friends and fans? I am SURE they will be punished in some way sooner or later. Just a matter of time. It's called karma and no-one can escape from it.

      Just let him rest in peace and stop all the rumors! And stop believing everything you read! That's just stupid.



    14. 14

      and they probably performed vaginal rejuvination on michaels chin .



    15. 15

      SHADY ASS doctors,no doctor tried hard enough to help michael and they're supposed to be professionals. this is sad



    16. 16

      and they probably performed vaginal rejuvination on michaels chin . it just never ends,
      so much more to come .
      was m.j. dead for 3 hours before he was discovered ????



    17. 17

      shady shady, need to take away licences if they have any and lock the guys up, they are all shams after money . they are all guilty looking and liars !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    18. 18

    19. 19

      Would love to take you to the b today! Grab some lunch and just chill. ym b



    20. 20

      I thought he had a addiction to little boys.



    21. 21

      Hey! Lookatme! I'm a Doctor!! But if somebody will pay me money for an interview to talk shit about another doctor, well when do i sign up?!
      Seriously, let it rest, the poor man is dead, none of this is going to bring it back so all it does is cost people money, but who am i kidding, this will go on for years.



    22. 22

      calling dr. klein. dr. arnold klein. your jail cell is waiting.



    23. 23

      i think that i wasn't just dr. klein that was fueling his addition. i think somemore bastards were also supplying mj too.



    24. 24

      BlahBlah12 good comment! my thoughts exactly! RIP MJ



    25. 25

      Dr. Jekyll doesn't even LOOK or ACT like a doc, but straight out tha barnyard!



    26. 26

      Its been said before that this life is actually "hell" and "heaven" is up above.. seeing as its common-ground that heaven is above hell, and as this case goes on about MJs death, I'm beginning to believe that. He was persecuted and penalised on this earth and people still cant leave it alone a month after his death.
      Seriously, people need to leave him be..he's free from the devils now.

      RIP Michael, there will never be another him.



    27. 27

      Hey Money Talks. You can get whatever you want if you have the money for it.



    28. 28

      It may have been actually necessary to use the anesthesia in this case. What the doctor called a "mild acne treatment" may have been a very painful chemical peel that takes out the pigment of the skin.



    29. 29

      um you already posted about this exact thing a couple of days ago.



    30. 30

      I totally believe those kids are Dr. Kleins! They have his big ears! Don't get me wrong, they're adorable, but come on! MJ did everything to change into a white man, his kids HAD to look white!

      As far as this being anyone's fault…..it was MJ's fault! The average Joe on the street would just die and they'd call it an overdose! No one would be found or blamed! Because he's MJ, there is a huge investigation!



    31. 31

      BECAUSE JACKSON IS A SMOOTH CRIMINAL AND WHAT EVER MICHAEL WANTS MICHAEL GETS.MICHAEL WAS HOPING THE DOCTOR WOULDN'T CHARGE HIM BECAUSE HE WAS A CELEBRITY!!



    32. 32

      This whole thing is deeply troubling. These "Elvis doctors" need to learn that just because a patient is rich and/or famous does not necessitate the blatant over-prescribing of medications. How about taking a fraction of that money you get paid for breaking the laws and endangering lives and help some of the people who REALLY NEED the medication and treatment but can't afford it.



    33. 33

      Good god almighty quit blaming everyone else for this fool's death already!! He LOVEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DRUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! geezus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…………………..

      Re: Spindoc – YES YES YES



    36. 36

      Re: Misakiii – So lets understand this…we are supposed to feel "sorry" for him?? That he doped himself up for years and ended up dead due to it?? Sorry…some of us dont feel SORRY for him!!!



    37. 37

      i had sex with MJ on his bad world tour.
      FACT
      and his cock was yellow - neither black or white.



    38. 38

      lol-cat.



    39. 39

      WHO GIVES A FUCK? THE VAGINA FACE WANTED IT. ITS NOT LIKE HE WAS FORCED.



    40. 40

      Re: MISS CLEO – you fool he had a face, not a vagina.



    41. 41

      Number 1) sniffmydog. – leave Miss Cleo alone.
      Number 2) sniffmydog. – 45 year old men don't have acne.
      Skin bleaching is intensely painful….and I can't think of anyone who wouldn't want to be put under. Asksheba088 – .



    42. 42

      Have they found his nose yet? They lost it when they dumped him out at the Staples Center to return that rental casket. So go look for it. It looks like an ice cream stick.



    43. 43

      Blahblah12 – , why don't you shut the fuck up, honey. You are obviously a silly, young, and deluded negress. Michael was a freak. A dope fiend. And a construction-worker-hiring closet homoseckshull.
      The shit is gonna come out about him, alright. Just like it did for Liberace.



    44. 44

      jus let the god dam guy diee. god dame ittt!!! let him r.i.p



    45. 45

      why would this Dr. even be billing MJ? the whole thing sounds like bs, just like the majority of the stories. While I believe that Michael was a major addict, and always did, why are these morons NOW coming out of the woodwork. If Klein used this Dr.'s office and staff, and say MJ stiffed whoever, as usual, I don't know why richmond would be involve in billing mj. MJ liked secrecy from most accounts (though he stiffed many). It seems IF this story was TRUE, Klein would be responsible for the going ons in this situation and would be the one responsible (his office) for dealing with the payments. and besides, you think MJ would be real afraid to be that close to the people with vaginas.



    46. 46

      stop worrrying about him let him be heard he probly passed so u guys wuld talk more about him and now you r obbsessed!!!!!!!!!

      LOL so true!! That's why this Tabloid Junkie returns time, after time to talk about Michael. Hey whether these haters have something positive, or negative to say about Michael, they still have his name in their mouth's, so obviously Michael stays on their minds.



    57. 57

      Re: Bangcock!!!COLON!!! Thighland – First dingbat I've said nothing. You are losing your mind so get help. I don't even know the person you are talking to. Damn it's only a blog site and you want to fuck up everyone's right to write what they want. Are you that awful? I'm finished.
      I will not say another word to or about you. Good luck with your life. God knows you need it. And, stop hating it makes you ugly!



    58. 58

      i will forever love and miss michael jackson and to those haters hopefully he comes at night and scare the fuck out of them



    59. 59

      I always believed (and still do) that MJ was innocent of all charges - however I do take exception to this 'greatest entertainer of all time' tag that u people have slapped upon his corpse. I have been completely unable to decipher a single word of any of his songs since the 'Off The Wall' album. Same thing with Janet - no idea what any of her lyrics have been since 'Control'.
      Relaunch LaToyas career she is the best Jackson ever xxx



    60. 60

      This MJ , : his sorry mess of a life, his diva demands for drugs, the people too neurotic to say no to a "superstar" his death is all just nauseating.So is blaming everyone else for his addictions. He did sweet FA to help himself so……….. he wound up dead. Even though he had 3 kids and a tour obligation. I am supposed to believe that others killed, accidentally, or on purpose ,a guy who did not care about his own life.? Bollocks. Whatever happened he was main player in his fate and whatever happened he is now dead.FGS leave it be.



    61. 61

      SOUNDS LIKE EVERYONE USED AND ABUSED MJ!
      *
      SORRY HE CAN'T REST IN PEACE!!!!



    62. 62

      SOUNDS LIKE EVERYONE USED AND ABUSED MJ!

    65. 65

    66. 66

      weirdest thing about this picture was that when i scrolled down and saw the top half of head, i thought it was mariah carey around 1990.
