Janet Jackson: 'We attempted interventions with Michael'



The Jackson family tried "a few times" to intervene and put an end to Michael Jackson's drug dependency, the late superstar's sister Janet has confirmed, but the "King Of Pop" fought them, because he was in denial.

Janet was rumoured to have led a family initiative to help her troubled brother in 2007 and again earlier this year, months before the King of Pop died in June.

Michael's former longtime publicist, Raymone Bain, dismissed the claims in July, insisting reports the Jacksons were locked out of his Las Vegas home after trying to take him to rehab were "not true". Can we actually believe this? Seems to me more people were concerned about lining their pockets than the welfare of Michael.

Janet Jackson acknowled on an ABC interview that the family did attempt an intervention on more than one occasion - because they realised Michael was becoming more and more reliant on prescription medication.

She hints that the "Thriller" star vigantly refused to seek professional help because he believed he had his addiction under control.

The TV chat with newswoman Robin Roberts will air in the U.S. on Wednesday night.

Investigators looking into Jackson's death have focused their case on his personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray, who stands accused of administering the powerful prescription drug Propofol to the superstar prior to his death.

Both Janet and LeToya both have previously placed the blame on Dr. Murray.
