Michael Jackson not only slept with a baby doll — he also regularly “peed the bed,” Conrad Murray alleges in the documentary “Michael Jackson and the Doctor: A Fatal Friendship.”
The UK got an early look last night at the doc, which is set to air in the US tonight and Monday. The documentary covers a span of two years, from Jackson’s death through Murray’s six-week trial, during which he was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter.
LA TOYA JACKSON OBJECTS TO MSNBC AIRING CONRAD MURRAY DOC
In the documentary, Murray reveals Jackson regularly “peed the bed.”
“The bedroom that he slept in I had to persuade him, eventually to have it cleaned,” Murray said in the film. “He peed the bed. It did not smell good. It was mildew, and I had to get it clean.”
Murray said Jackson urinating in the bed may have had to do with psychological issues saying, “Who would ever believe that a man his age would still be wetting his bed?”
In the doc, Murray also claims that Jackson referred to propofol, the anesthesia believed to have killed him, as “milk.”
“He asked me, ‘Please, please, Dr. Conrad … I need some milk so that I can sleep. If I don’t get any sleep today, I cannot perform, I cannot do anything,'” Murray said, according to reports. “He was pleading and begging me to please, please let him have some ‘milk,’ because that was the only thing that would work.”
Murray also claims that Jackson was not straight-forward with him about his medical needs.
“I only wish that maybe in our dealings with each other, he was more forthcoming and honest to tell me things about himself,” Murray said. “Certainly, he was deceptive by not sharing with me his whole medical history, doctors he was seeing, treatment that he might have been receiving.”
Murray’s lawyers, Ed Chernoff and Michael Flanagan, also make many allegations about Jackson in the documentary.
“Explain a 50-year-old man who sleeps with a baby doll and has pictures of basically infants to 2-year-old children looking at him every night?” Flanagan’s wife asks at one point.
Chernoff responds, “I think the media made him appear weirder than he is.”
“You gotta be kidding me,” said Flanagan. “He can’t be any weirder than he is.”
La Toya Jackson, as well as Michael Jackson’s estate, opposed MSNBC’s airing of the documentary, which sources tell Page Six was part of a package deal to secure the first interview with Murray, who did not testify on his own behalf during his trial.
La Toya Jackson wrote in a letter to the network’s president, “I feel it morally reprehensible to cloak a murderer and convicted felon with celebrity status, which the airing of Dr. Murray’s views will undoubtedly accomplish. This becomes even more egregious since Michael is sadly and obviously unable to defend himself against whatever allegations may be made.”
MSNBC has decided to go ahead with the special over objections. “Michael Jackson and the Doctor” airs tonight at 10 p.m. on MSNBC.
