This is the article providing the interview given by Grace Rawarmba. She "jumped the gun" so to speak and gave this interview prior to MJs death, and when he died, she did all she could to have the article removed. They did remove it but many read it prior to removal. The only part of this interview which Grace has denied is the part about pumping MJs stomach. Other than that, to my knowledge, she hasn't denied anything else.

Michael Jackson's children 'needed love,' says their former nanny, Grace Rwaramba
The former nanny of Michael Jackson’s three children has revealed that they
hated the masks the pop star made them wear while in public.Grace Rwaramba said
she would deliberately lose them so that the children did not have to wear them.
But her actions provoked rows with Jackson, who she claims was jealous of their
attachment to her.She says the children ‘froze’ when they saw him, and that he
often fired her when he thought they were becoming too fond of her.
The Rwandan-born nanny worked for Jackson for ten years and is said to have
become a mother figure to his three children, Prince Michael Junior, 12, Paris
Michael Katherine, 11, and Prince Michael II, seven, also known as Blanket.There
were periods when the Thriller singer was virtually penniless, she
said.According to journalist Daphne Barak, who spoke to Ms Rwaramba on the night
Jackson died, the former nanny said: ‘I love my babies. I miss my babies. I used
to hug them and laugh with them. ’However, she said they ‘froze’ when Michael
was around.
‘He didn’t like me hugging them,’ she said. ‘But they needed love. I was the
only mother they knew.’In the interview Ms Rwaramba described one occasion when
Blanket performed a concert of his father’s songs for her, which made her laugh
‘so hard’ – but that Jackson walked in and ruined the happy scene. Rwandan-born

Prince Michael II, seven‘Usually, the security would alert me that he was about
to come,’ she said. ‘Blanket immediately stopped. The kids looked
frightened.’She said that Jackson was furious – and she knew he would fire her.
‘Whenever the children got too attached to me, he would send me away,’ he
said.She said the children hated the masks they were forced to wear, supposedly
to protect their identities. But she hated the idea, too, and lost them or
forgot to pack them at any opportunity – even though it made Jackson angry. But
he apparently didn’t notice that they only got lost when Ms Rwaramba was
around.The glamorous 42-year-old also claims she frequently had to pump
Jackson’s stomach after he took dangerous drug.She is reported to have said: ‘I
had to pump his stomach many times. He always mixed so much of it. ’ Family

Rwaramba also said she tried to protect the children from their father’s
excesses. ‘There was one period that it was so bad that I didn’t let the
children see him,’ she reportedly said. ‘He always ate too little and mixed too
much.’Ms Rwaramba says that she was dismissed for a final time in December last
year. On a previous occasion she says she was sacked after she called in
Jackson’s mother Katherine and his sister Janet in an attempt to persuade him to
deal with his addiction. He screamed at her ‘You betrayed my trust. You called
them behind my back.’ Ms Rwaramba assured him she was only trying to help him,
but he would not listen. More...24hr 'sober coach' was hired for Michael
Jackson as desperate family brought in controversial 'Doc Hollywood' to save the
star.
Ms Rwaramba originally worked for Jackson as an office assistant before becoming
his nanny. After Jackson was cleared of child abuse claims in 2005, they moved
to Bahrain, where she said: ‘I was happy because he was so down. He was
scared..’They returned to live in California, with Jackson coming under the
influence of the Nation of Islam, who supplied bodyguards to the singer.Ms
Rwaramba reportedly claimed they would inflate prices – telling him it cost
£60,000 a month to rent a mansion when other similar properties would cost only
£15,000 a month.Ms Rwaramba said Jackson was clueless about money – and that
once he got a $1million (£600,000) job in Japan, but only received $200,000
(£120,000) after all his people took their share.Since she stopped working for
Jackson, Ms Rwaramba has flown to America several times to see the children. On
a visit in April, she said she had to buy ‘Happy Birthday’ balloons for Paris
because Jackson was broke.Miss Barak says Ms Rwaramba called her a few weeks
ago, telling her: ‘He doesn’t let me see my babies.’She said he did not reply to
letters and had changed his number – but she was receiving reports that the
children were ‘being neglected’. She claimed the house was dirty as he didn’t
pay the housekeeper.The morning after Jackson died, Ms Rwaramba said she
received a phone call from his mother Katherine saying that the tearful children
were asking about her – but then asking if she remembered where Michael used to
hide cash in the house.Ms Rwaramba said: ‘This woman just lost her son and she
is calling me to know where the money is!
