Michael Jackson's ex thinks she was partly to blame for singer's death

Michael Jackson's ex has admitted she was ‘partly to blame’ for the Prince of Pop’s death in 2009.
In a forthcoming documentary, Debbie Rowe, 63, breaks down as she admits she ‘should have done more’ in the face of Jackson's painkiller addiction.
In a clip from Fox’s upcoming TV special, Rowe explains: “I should have done something and I didn’t. There is a number of people that died from addictions and in some way I was part of it.”

Elsewhere in the documentary, an excerpt of which has been seen by The Sun, Rowe, a former assistant of dermatologist Arnold Klein, who issued Jackson painkillers, admitted: “I was basically as bad as him [Klein] and I am so sorry I participated in it.”
Jackson died of a cardiac arrest in June 2009 and had enough Propofol - a powerful sedative - in his system to ‘put down a rhino’, according to ex-LAPD coroner Ed Winter.
Klein, who died in 2015, was dubbed the ‘Father of Botox’ and during a civil trial over Jackson’s death in 2013 was blamed by Rowe for ‘feeding Jackson’s drug habit’.
Jackson and Rowe tied the knot during a secretive ceremony back in 1996 and the pair shared children Prince and Paris Jackson, with Rowe being their surrogate mum.
However, Jackson’s third child, son Blanket, was conceived using a different surrogate mother, whose identity remains unknown.
It recently emerged that Blanket has totally reinvented himself and goes by a different name.
Blanket, born Prince Michael Jackson II, first entered the public eye way back in 2002 when his father dangled him off a hotel balcony in front of paparazzi.
Now 20 years old, Blanket – or as he's now known, Bigi – has changed quite a bit from his first outing in the spotlight.
In November 2021, Bigi made a rare appearance alongside his brother and sister to call for action against climate change and spoke to Good Morning Britain about why they’d chosen to open the doors to their Los Angeles home.
Bigi said: "There’s a lot of really cool stuff here, there’s a lot of history here in this house and the studio here, that’s what he was all about.
“That’s what each of us want to do, make some things that people hopefully enjoy but also that benefit their lives. I do think it’s important that we all know about [climate change], I think we have some work to do, but our generation knows how important it is.”
