not$ 1ut * "ent in$$$ Michael also used creams that /r$ )lein makes, and * "ent into the office$ +nd /r$ )lein
also had a supply of latisse$ +nd he said, Bhere, you can !ust take this for Michael, also$B and sunscreen$
&$ +nd sunscreen?
A$ +nd eye drops$
&$ +nd, again, those prescriptions "ere all in your name, not in Mr$ Jackson#s name8 correct?
A$ ;m, the ones from /r$ MetFger, the latisse and the propecia "as$ * asked him specifically if he "ould do
that for me because$$$ and * "anted him to do it at a pharmacy near me so * could take them to Michael$ +nd
especially the latisse to start using, because it takes about si' "eeks to start, and so * "anted to start Michael on
that right a"ay$ +nd so he put the prescription in my name for the latisse and the propecia$ 5he propecia also
is$$$ it re!uvenates hair on men#s scalps$ +nd so * needed as much healthy hair as possible on his scalp in order to

K$ +nd do you remember the time that it moved to the %orum, concurrently, you "ere shooting short films do"n at
-ulver?
+$ -orrect, correct$
K$ /o you remember that?
+$ *t "as like in the beginning --
K$ (f June?
+$ 1efore "e even really did anything at the %orum, * think$
K$ (kay$ +nd in this time period, the beginning of June, *#m not talking about the last "eek -- all right? &o the beginning
of June, at that time period, did you believe that Mr$ Jackson seemed upbeat?
+$ +re you talking about "hen "e "ere making the films?
K$ Making the films in your first t"o "eeks at the %orum there$
+$ He seemed okay$
K$ +nd did he seem focused to you at that time period?

K$ ;h-huh$
+$ *t "as -- it "as a little different, you kno"$ * can#t say it "as e'actly ho" it used to be, you kno"8 but he seemed
relatively okay, he "as able to function, everything$ * noticed some physical things that "ere odd, but --
K$ (kay$
+$ +t that time --
K$ +nd it had been four years since you#d last seen him, correct?
+$ -orrect$
K$ +nd it had been more than a decade since you had "orked "ith him and he had performed, correct? (r about a decade?

K$ &peaking of old, Mr$ Jackson "as a lot older at this point, too, right?
+$ -orrect$ * think 73$
K$ *t had been about a decade since you#d "orked "ith him?
+$ ;h-huh$
K$ 1ut at this time period at the beginning at the %orum, you didn#t have any particular concerns, correct?
+$ 5he dryness of his skin bothered me during the filming, because it "as really, really dry, and that kind of bothered me$
1ut it "asn#t something that "ould send up any kind of ma!or alarms$
K$ +nd, in fact --
+$ *t "as his -- his thinness kind of -- * "as trying -- let me -- * -- his thinness "as still bothering me because * -- * noticed
that he "asn#t -- from the time * first met him, * thought he needed to gain like 27 pounds8 but instead, he "asn#t like
gaining anything, so that "as concerned -- that "as a concern to me so much that acacia -- * brought +cacia over$ +nd she
used to be his cook a long time ago, chef, during the 1ad tour, and during the 1ad era, from the very beginning$ +nd he
used to love her food$ +nd she opened up a restaurant across the street from -ulver &tudios, so * thought it "ould be a
really good "ay to try to introduce him into maybe eating more by inviting her over to bring some lunch, so * did that$ *
still "as concerned, because * did that$ * !ust really "anted him to get in touch "ith things that he really liked, you kno",
and maybe he#d start eating more$
K$ 1ut -- but there "as not particular concern, other than the "eight and the dry skin, during this period of time, correct?
+$ * "ould say that "as correct$
K$ +nd !ust very 4uickly on the +cacia$ +cacia had formerly been his chef, right?
+$ ,es$
K$ +nd you had brought her over -- do you remember it "as on June ? that you brought her over?
+$ * don#t remember the date, again8 but it "as during the filming, because she "as so close, and * really "anted --
because, you kno", +cacia had never met his kids or anything, you kno"$ *t "as really nice$
K$ 5hat "as a great day, "asn#t it?
+$ *t "as a good day, yeah$
K$ +nd it "as like a 26-hour day, "as it not? /o you remember?
+$ * don#t recall$
K$ /o you remember him being there 4uite a long day that day?
+$ *t "as a "orking day$ *n my business it can be a long -- 26 hours$
K$ 1ut a time came "here you did gro" concerned, and that "as in the "eek prior to his passing, correct?
+$ ,es$
K$ +nd "as that the time period in "hich you actually -- that#s "hen you first became truly concerned that there might be
something "rong "ith Mr$ Jackson?
+$ ,es$
K$ +nd you noticed a change that "eek?
+$ * have to say "hen -- you kno", "hen he first got up onstage, the first thing he kind of did onstage "as a solo thing$ *
think it "as 1illie Jean, and you kno", he did -- did really "ell$ *t "asn#t the -- you kno", the Michael Jackson "hen he
"as 6=8 but, you kno" -- and 1illie Jean is -- he did 1illie Jean and the dancers all "atched him and, you kno", they "ere
!ust -- Bthat#s Michael Jackson$ *#m seeing him do 1illie Jean$ they "ere all really e'cited about it, and "e all felt good
about that$ 1ut then after"ards, "hen -- it !ust kind of changed "hen he had to get up onstage "ith everybody else and
actually do -- start rehearsing the sho"$
K$ +nd that concern arose in the last "eek of his life, correct, ma#am?
+$ Pardon?
K$ 5hat concern of yours arose in the last "eek of his life, correct?

7he *itness" 58es$5 I9m sorry$
K$ +nd you tried to figure out "hat "as "rong, didn#t you?
+$ ,es$
K$ +nd ho" did you go about trying to figure out "hat "as "rong?
+$ 0ell, * think the first thing "as * asked Michael#s security if he "as going to /r$ )lein$
K$ &o you "ere concerned8 and your first 4uestion "as to his security to say, B*s he going to see /r$ )lein?B "hy did you
ask that?
+$ *t "as -- because -- because, as * said before, and * e'plained before, * "as al"ays kind of on the lookout for doctors
and things like that getting involved$
K$ +nd -- but did you ask them if he "as going to see /r$ MetFger?
+$ o, * didn#t ask them that because * had talked to /r$ MetFger about other things, and * think /r$ MetFger "ould have
told me$
K$ +nd you also had been to /r$ )lein#s office to pick up creams, had you not?
+$ ,es$
K$ &o "hy "as it that "hen you sa" that there "as something "rong, you "ent to security to ask is he going to see /r$
)lein?
+$ &ay that 4uestion again?
K$ 0hen you became concerned in that last "eek, you "ent to Mr$ Jackson#s security and said, Bis he going to see /r$
)lein?B -orrect?
+$ ;h-huh$
K$ +nd "hy is it /r$ )lein is the person you asked if he "as going to see?
+$ 0hy did * go to /r$ )lein? 1ecause in the media, there "ere reports that he "as -- like the -- that he had gone there,
you kno", and * kind -- "hat * asked "as ho" often "as he going$
K$ +nd you kne" /r$ )lein, did you not?

K$ +nd you had kno"n that he "as a dermatologist?
+$ -orrect$
K$ +nd you had kno"n that Mr$ Jackson had seen him for years, correct?
+$ -orrect$
K$ +nd you had an understanding that he "as going to see him in this time period, correct?
+$ 1y the media, yes, correct$
K$ 1ut then you asked security, and did they confirm for you "hether he "as seeing -- going to see /r$ )lein?
+$ ,es$
K$ +nd did they confirm to you ho" often?
+$ 5hey said probably maybe three, four days a "eek$
K$ +nd did that concern you?
+$ ,es$ (h, * said, Byes$B ,es, it did$
K$ +nd "hy did that concern you?
+$ 0ell, because of the past "ith everything * e'plained to you before, "hen * see doctors getting really involved in his
life, it kind of "as this moment of -- "here * "ould be concerned$
K$ &o it "asn#t /r$ )lein in particular?
+$ 0ell, it "as /r$ )lein in particular in this instance because that#s "here he "as going$
K$ 1ut you also kne" that he had a /r$ MetFger "ho "as his longtime doctor, right?
+$ ,es$
K$ 1ut you "eren#t concerned about him seeing /r$ MetFger?
+$ * didn#t see him going to him on a regular basis$ *n fact, /r$ MetFger asked me if * could -- could * -- B* "ould love to
see Michael$ -an you tell him that * "ould !ust love to see him and meet his children?B so there "asn#t -- he "asn#t going
-- that#s "hy it "asn#t a concern, because /r$ MetFger !ust "anted to say hello to him$
K$ &o at this point in time, "hich is the "eek before Mr$ Jackson#s passing, you didn#t have an understanding as to "hether
or not /r$ MetFger had already seen Mr$ Jackson in that time period? +nd by Bthat time period,B * mean 633=$
+$ * think they actually -- * think they met$ * think they actually did meet at some particular time$ * can#t be certain of that$
K$ (kay$ o", did you ask Mr$ Jackson#s security "hy they "ere taking Mr$ Jackson to see /r$ )lein?

K$ 0hy did you think they didn#t deserve to become the villains or the financial victims?
