STATEOFshock, catherineNZ, and bowen9999 you all are making some great points and using yall head.
I don't see how anyone can defend murry. And this he panicked. Panicked for what? if he did nothing wrong why all the panicking. Just call 911 and do cpr until they get there. But who gets, and a DOCTOR at that, who gets so worked up that they a doctor forget proper cpr, waits 30 minutes to call 911, and forgets the address to were they work. COME ON NOW! yet ppl stil defend this guy.
I don't believe for one second a doctor panicked as bad has he did or that he's that stupid. uh uh nope! Michael would have been better off with otis from down the street finding him them murry. And you know why..... because otis would have called 911 first as soon as he found michael rather then waiting 30 minutes. Also why didn't murry get michael's breakfast. Maybe he panicked and forgot that too.
Its funny that murry could run down stairs and yell at kai to get prince no problem but he had to "supposedly" run around the house looking for someone with a phone who knew the address to call 911! Yeah ok whatever!
Exactly (everything you said actually but the part in bold kinda cracked me up lol) you are absolutely right though.
Its interesting how all these people are new to MJ's inner circle and in such positions to be entrusted implicitly with his very life.
I'm looking closer at this chef because I'm getting the feeling she knew something ahead of time. Why do I say that. Well first of all,
she came out of the woodwork a month later to tell every television news outlet on the planet about MJ's "final hour" and with the most buoyant attitude of anyone I have ever seen lose a valued, beloved and treasured employer.
she popped out talking about preparing a book that she claims MJ "encouraged" her to write (and I noticed how the show hosts toss it in at the end of the interview like its irrelevant ... yeh right).
I have no doubt that MJ could have said to her something like, "wow you're gooooood, you should write a book". THAT I can believe. But as far as him saying something like, "dang you're good you should write a book using MY NAME, MY DIET, and my death" ...THAT I do NOT believe he meant by any stretch and I don't believe that any decent person in her position would perceive it that way either.
I believe that any decent person would wait, compile their thoughts, consult with MJ's family maybe later in the year ....or
something .......rather than RUN to tv outlets giving heads ups about some cook book using the terminology, "Fit for a King" simply because it fits with MJ being the KOP ... but anyway ...
another thing that's been puzzling me is she says that after the doctor came running downstairs they all made a "prayer circle".
WHY.
Why make a prayer circle?
All the doctor did was yell for Prince and run back upstairs. Did he say, "MJ is dying oh my God!!" Not according to her. She rephrased whatever he said, into her own words, by saying that she told Prince, "something's wrong with your dad"
Why pray?
How did she know that the doctor didn't mean, "Get Prince, Michael fell in the shower and broke his tooth?" Do you really need a prayer circle for that?
Another thing is, if you are urgently being made aware that there is some kind of emergency going on and someone is yelling for the dad's kid to come,
and there you are, a full grown adult, you mean to tell me you are not going to ...
1. insist that the kid go attend to their father in this obvious urgency ...
...(and why didn't she presume it was the
dad who was asking the doctor to come get the kid ... remember she claims she had no earthly idea
what was going on so it could have been Michael who said to Dr. Murray, "oh God hurry go get Prince" for all she knew)
2. you mean to tell me that you are not going to ask the doctor with the greatest of urgency in your attitude whether there is anything you can do, eg., "DOCTOR, do you need me to call 911!!?!!"
Even if you would think it would be a stupid question to ask a doctor (because maybe you presume he has the whole thing under control being that he's a doctor), you might ask anyway BECAUSE YOU ARE JUST STANDING THERE SHOCKED AND SHAKEN and just to let him know you're available or to even maybe get a chance to get your curiouis ass upstairs if it seems
all that serious to you
You're in a
service role, and have played a very
personal role in the family .... you are not going to offer to help just in case he might would say something like "yeh boil some water??!!!!!!"
Remember, she has
no idea what was going on yet she asked not 1 single question. Again - - - she was, afterall, the only adult in the immediate area.
3. Now here it is, your empolyer, someone you COOK for-so that he can be HEALTHY, someone you are always doing your best to MAKE SURE you have provided what he needs to stay HEALTHY, he even [supposedly] REQUESTED you for that very reason, and his kids LOVE you ....
.... and in a HEALTH emergency, you do not feel VESTED enough in this family to at least
offer some assistance to the doctor or even so much as
try to go to even the
bottom of the stairs or
anything?? to
try to get CLOSER to find out what's going on? ok, granted, maybe that's just me but that strikes me as odd to hear
something's wrong (no clue what) and form a prayer circle. Someone may think it irreverant of me or disrespectful of someone's "spirituality" to suggest this and I'm sorry if it offends you but I've seen too many people do too may things in the name of "God" just to be 'convincing'.
My point is that whether you would do these things literally or something else, the things she chose to do SEEM UNNATURAL to me is all I'm saying.
4. What about the shock factor in experiencing a loss? Your employer, this person you see every day, several times a day, and the person you
just saw in FULL HEALTH
yesterday is DEAD
today - and your FIRST reaction is you are
devestasted????? What ever happened to
SHOCKED???! Your first reaction was
tears??? How can you be deeply saddened before you have even had time to digest/understand/wrap your mind around, what JUST happened? She keeps telling the world how
sad she was and not a word about how just unbelievable it was to hear as she was driving home. Yes, people are all different ... in
some ways ... but let's face it ... she had more reason to be shocked than anything else or at least this poster is not believing she skipped utter disbelief and skipped all the way to devestation. Someone may say, 'well she saw it unfold so maybe she wasn't shocked'. To that I say, no she didn't. She didn't see anything unfold. In terms of chain of emotionally charged events ...
She was cooking for him one minute
Informed
something is wrong the next
and informed of his death the next
all in a matter of MINUTES
I have not once in any of her COUNTLESS interviews from tv show to tv show (to tv show....) heard her say that she found it hard to believe. Isn't denial the first stage of loss?
Fans are still to this day finding it hard to believe and they did not see him just the DAY beforehand and day in and day out just prior to that
in his own home.
What am I suggesting? Nothing except I ain't buyin' this either just like nobody else is buying any of this nonesense ...
5. Here you have
not only confidentiality agreements with Michael Jackson (seeing as how we know that's how he roll) and even if you have not signed any agreements, you know full well from the way you were employed (remember she said someone else interviewed her and didn't tell them MJ's name ... for OBVIOUS reasons) you have GOOD INTENTIONS toward this man and his entire family for the purpose of taking excellent care of them and when he dies, you are going to get on every news outlet KNOWN TO MAN and tell the entire world ...
1. what he ate,
2. how he ate it
3. what he said
4. what he did
5. how he interacted with his family etc. etc. (now stay with me here for a sec)
and even to the point where you are going to take the KEEP
SAKES that his children gave you, to display the WORLD.
FOR WHAT PURPOSE??? Why would you exploit this young girl's good will and gift to
you PERSONALLY???
Will somebody pleeeeeese tell me what POSSIBLE benefit could it be to DISPLAY private notes from the kids???
Right now its looking like to me its for the same reason as everything else she's doing to sound
convincing (all that 'extra' body language, emphasis on things that don't need emphasis, at least in conversations I have with people)
Saying things that serve as conversational 'distractions' imho ... and speaking of trying to manipulate the public's viewpoint ...who is that tall man with her, speaking for her? Her publicist perhaps? Why were his last words to that reporter (outside the car before they got in), "she liked Michael Jackson". First of all, everyone with half a brain liked him, so, so what? Secondly, I didn't see anyone ask if she liked him or not. Thirdly, it looked to me like the same ole "overkill" (pardon the pun) that they do when their asses are guilty of something and they want to leave you with some kind of 'last words' so you will believe that vs. digging deeper for truth.
Ok finally the end. She says she was let go because of there being an issue of money. When the interviewer asked her who was paying her she said she didn't know. HOW COULD SHE NOT KNOW???? You are having a money dispute (oh really now ... I don't believe that either but anyway) and now it is resolved, and you have NO IDEA who's paying you. yeah ok whatever indeed ...
Another rant ... (hate when that happens) sry (just makes me wanna scream!!!)
