Michael Jackson's Former Publicist Raymone Bain: There Was No Intervention

Access Hollywood - July 9, 2009 3:27 PM PDT

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Raymone Bain, the former longtime publicist for Michael Jackson, has said there is no truth to rumors that have surfaced in the media since the pop star's death, claiming that members of the Jackson family staged a failed intervention for the pop star in 2007.

"It is not true," Raymone told Access Hollywood's Billy Bush in a new interview.

Raymone, who filed suit against the King of Pop earlier this year for $44 million over claims he failed to pay her for her publicity services and more, said a meeting with the family took place in 2007, but it was business related.

"I recall in February, there was a meeting with Mr. Jackson and his sisters and brothers about a concert," she recounted. "There was a concert promoter who accompanied them there. That is the meeting that I... am aware of... I know nothing else about any other intervention."

Raymone also shot down rumors that Michael's family members - including his mother Katherine - were shut out of the pop star's life after the alleged intervention, telling Billy the family were always involved in Michael's life.

"During the time that I represented Michael Jackson, he had communications all of the time with his mother and his family," she said. "I don't know of a time when Michael Jackson did not have access to his mother -- under my watch. I cannot speak for last year and prior to or after my tenure with Mr. Jackson. But I do know that he loved his mother, he loved his father, he loved his sisters and brothers unconditionally. And Mrs. Jackson and his family had access to Michael Jackson."

    Who cares! He was weird and no one cared about Micheal until now that he is DEAD! Now all of a sudden they all care. Whatever! MJ was a wanna be white person, why do you think he had white women get pregnant by him! Because he didn't want BLACK children. Thats why there was no intervention, his family hated that he was bleaching his skin to be white.....

    MJ fans Please do not stoop the their level of ignorance! Be silent, diligent and ever mindful of the example Michael set for us. The judges and haters will one day answer for their accusations. Follow the example of the Jackson Family and be respectful and show class as we mourn Michael. The blind will never see and those who truly loved Michael will never forget the price he paid. Ritch

    All in all, what difference do any rumors and speculations make about MJ's life? The sad fact remains that it was a tragic death for someone to die suddenly at the age of 50. We all have our crosses to bear...maybe MJ's was the fact that he felt he needed prescription pain medicine to function every day. The blame should lay on everyone that was around him and saw him abusing th

    Too, too many rumors regarding MJ. I only going to believe what the family says and maybe some of the investigators and toxicolgy reports. I know some of the media are only reporting what they hear but my mother always said: Never believe what you hear and only half of what you see.

    Umm... Sheila A, what is this criminal background you speak of? See, this is why I find a jury of peers so scary. People, like you, are idiots. I believe the term, innocent until proven guilty, should mean something. And Jackson was cleared of all charges. Criminal record? Where is that?
