So much is being said about Michael Jackson since his passing last week, and most of it details an unhealthy obsession with prescription drugs. In one report, it was suggested that his longtime nanny and assistant, Grace Rwaramba, aided in hiding his terrible addiction.
This morning, however, Grace has released a statement, setting the record straight about the allegations:
“Michael Jackson was an exceptional Human Being. He was gifted, deeply compassionate and brought joy to the lives of so many. He loved his family dearly, and above all, his beautiful children.
In addition to being my employer over the past 17 years and entrusting the care of his beloved children to me, he was my dear friend. While our friendship had challenges, as do all friendships, he was loyal to the end. I cherish and honor his memory.
I am shocked, hurt and deeply saddened by recent statements the press has attributed to me, in particular, the outrageous and patently false claim that I ├óΓé¼┼ôroutinely pumped his stomach after he had ingested a dangerous combination of drugs”. I don├óΓé¼Γäót even know how to pump a stomach!! In addition, I have never spoken to the Times Online, the original source of the story that has now been picked up worldwide. The statements attributed to me confirm the worst in human tendencies to sensationalize tragedy and smear reputations for profit.
I convey my heartfelt and deepest condolences to Prince, Paris, Blanket and the entire Jackson family. The pain and sorrow I feel over the loss of Michael pales in comparison to what has been taken from them forever.”

There you have it.
She may be trying to cover her ass, though, and win back favor with the Jackson family!
