BABY MOM DEBBIE: HOW I BETRAYED MICHAEL JACKSON

Ex-wife finally breaks silence on drug horror

-

MICHAEL Jackson’s baby mama Debbie Rowe has made a shocking guilt-ridden confession — she saw the King of Pop getting dangerous illegal drugs and did nothing to stop it!

The Thriller singer’s second wife and mom of two of his three kids — Prince, now 25, and Paris, 24 — revealed her guilt in a bombshell documentar­y investigat­ing Jackson’s shocking June 25, 2009, death at age 50 in a rented Los Angeles mansion.

The Bad singer died from thetic propofol administer­ed by his private physician Dr. Conrad Murray, who served two years for involuntar­y manslaught­er.

Before the tragedy, anxietyrid­den Jackson was a painkiller junkie taking all sorts of drugs, many obtained with illegal prescripti­ons.

Rowe, 63, first met the singer when she was a nurse for L.A. dermatolog­ist Dr. Arnold Klein, who also treated Jackson’s pal, actress Elizabeth Taylor. Rowe became his second wife in 1996 after he divorced Lisa Marie Presley.

Rowe now admits she saw Klein wrongly give the singer the powerful opioid painkiller Demerol.

“There were times he would write prescripti­ons for things that had nothing to do with what we were treating them [patients] for,” says Rowe, whose marriage to Jackson ended after three years.

“I was basically as bad as [Klein]. I regret that. I will regret it. And I am so sorry that I participat­ed in it.”

The documentar­y claims Jackson would frequently get high on Demerol for hours at Klein’s office and the doc, who died at 70 of natural causes in 2015, became his friend and kept fake records on him.

“Dr. Klein was more than happy to oblige and he justified with minor procedures,” says documentar­y producer

Harvey Levin. “And he did this over and over and over again.”

The film claims the singer used 19 aliases to obtain prescripti­on drugs.

Jackson reportedly became hooked on painkiller­s after suffering

painful burns in a fireworks accident while filming a 1983 Pepsi commercial.

After becoming friendly at Klein’s office, Jackson and Rowe wed.

But she insists she never had sex with the singer and the children they had were conceived by in vitro fertilizat­ion.

Rowe’s confession has left Jackson’s grandma Katherine, 92, “very upset.”

“She and her aides cannot understand why Debbie has decided after all these years to break her silence on that part of her life,” says a source.
