Rabbi Shmuley: I Was A "Nuisance" To Michael Jackson

On Sunday, June 28, Rabbi SHmulet Boteach did an interview with MSNBC; he was introduced as the late Michael Jackson's "spiritual advisor;" Boteach immediately said, "I haven't spoken to him in years; you can't stand around and watch someone you care about kimm himself," and requested to be known as his "former spiritual advisor". You'd think that it would be Brian Oxman doing another interview, since he said the same talking points, that Jackson was "receptive" to being clean, had "enablers" and he knew he was going to die early, and so forth.

Boteach admitted that toward the end of their friendship, "Michael began to treat me like a nuisance."

Michael Jackson fans and supporters - do NOT buy Rabbi Shmuley's books. He is one of the people who were leeches on Michael Jackson. Making money from Michael Jackson. He's still trying.

FUCK YOU stupid Schmuley...

i'm Glad MJ dumped him completely...

[Mickey200916]

If Michael wanted these conversations published he would of done so. These were private therapy sessions recorded by Schmuley. What a backstabber and crook. This man stole thousands of dollars from the charity Heal the Children Foundation that he and Mj had started together. Just another user in Michael's life.

a jew lol

Only listen to Dick Gregory and Mrs. Jackson when it comes to Michael. Dick Gregory is 1 of the few public figures that knew Michael that gives a good view of who he was. His mother, because it's his mother. If you watch the interview with Oprah and Mrs. Jackson, you will see him as the HUMAN he was and not a monster the media tries to continuously portray him as.

Ok, first of all, the guy is a Jew. What do Jews know? Not that I don't respect Jews but xome on, this guy is so stupid. Michael was deeply depressing by past and was extremely lonely, the world was treating him like garbage in a dumbster. They think he was messed up toward the end of his life. He was never messed up. He just had a tragic life that it's unbarably sad.

I am just wondering how Rabbi Shmulet could be a good adviser to Michael Jackson because Rabbi spoke too fast and his speed of speaking make people nervous.

[liwinno]

@peskied So yes I have a clue more so than somebody who doesn't follow him but I'm not blind and I don't agree that everything he did was amazing when he was alive. I just do not agree with all these people coming out now he cant answer back.

[liwinno]

@peskied Rabbi was his confidant. If this conversations had come out with Michael was alive then yes it would be positive but he sold these conversations a month or 2 after he died....

Not to mention where that money went. It was for personal gain.

A viscous nutcase - lets not overreact now!!! I have an opinion its just not the same as yours. I have read the book and yes I have been a fan for a long time. Not a crazed lunatic but I bother looking into what goes on....

[peskied]

@liwinno And I am supposed to believe you? I don't think so! This guy was doing the same thing Dr. Phil dod for Oprah! The only dofference is that Oprah's fans were grateful for his efforts in helping her! you folks are just a bunch of viscious nutcases who don't have a clue.

ps. Whazt do YOU really know .......

[liwinno]

@peskied why the hell are you watching this then? What would you really know anyway - this man is selling private conversations and pocketing the money - It went to no charities. Either educate yourself or keep your opinions to yourself cause you don't know what your talking about.
