Jason Pfeiffer, the former assistant to Michael Jackson's dermatologist, Dr. Arnold Klein, is suing him for putting MJ's life in danger, according to a new lawsuit.
Pfeiffer, who has made headlines for alleging he had a gay affair with Michael Jackson, says that "Throughout 2009, Michael was a frequent patient of Klein."
The lawsuit says, "Several times, Klein told Pfeiffer to help Michael down to the car because Michael was too drugged up and disoriented to stand on his own."
Jason Pfeiffer says he voiced his concern for Michael's "safety" because he and Klein's nurses "were worried Michael was being 'overmedicated' by Klein."
Pfeiffer says Klein simply told him to "keep his mouth shut."
Moreover, Pfeiffer claims Klein tried to sneak MJ prescription muscle relaxants in 2009 by writing a prescription in Pfeiffer's name. Pfeiffer claims he refused.
He goes on to make various other allegations against Klein:
Sometime around October 2008, Pfeiffer says Klein was contacted by Michael Jackson, who told the dermatologist he "needed 'to get out of a court appearance' and needed a doctor's note." Klein allegedly obliged.
According to the suit, Klein told MJ he would take care of it and issued a note saying he was suffering from a staph infection, based on a bogus test.
For what it's worth, Klein's treatment of MJ has been questioned in the past.
The last days of Michael Jackson have put Dr. Conrad Murray under a microscope, but in the months leading up to June 2009, Klein had been sedating the star.
Klein has always denied allegations of wrongdoing and maintained that he treated Michael in accordance with the highest medical standards.
Pfeiffer's allegations get weirder still. MUCH weirder.
He claims he was wrongfully terminated by Klein, and in the lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Klein's ongoing bankruptcy case, Pfeiffer alleges Klein forced him to help "round up" gay sex partners, including prostitutes and homeless people.
Pfeiffer also claims he would have to help "prepare" Klein for his sexual encounters. Specifically, "Klein required that Pfeiffer wash Klein's groin."
Pfeiffer, who says his gay affair with MJ began after they met via Klein, says he suffered severe emotional issue as a result of Klein's treatment .
He is suing for unspecified damages.
A lawyer for Klein tells TMZ in response to this: "Dr. Klein is one of the most esteemed and respected dermatologists in his profession in the country."
"This counterclaim is totally unfounded, and frankly it's garbage. The claims in Dr. Klein's lawsuit are very serious, and we're taking them all the way."

Jomm I think you missunderstood me. I Am not judging MJ. I just want to know the truth. And I wonder how people can be so sure when they never even met him. If it was SO OBVIOUS THAT HE WAS STRAIGHT, The ouestion about him being gay or straight would not have been out there since the 80's until now, would it? I love MJ's beautiful soul and his music. He was the greatest man ever, gay or straight.

I agree Anon. Klein and knocked down this guy claims since. Like I said, MJ was straight man who wanted to stay a kid.
August 8th, 2011 2:07 PM
Klein said this guy was lying. MJ is dead and it is easy to make comments that are not true. IT is sad that people can say what they want in order to make money off of the dead. This is no different than a woman lying on man who she never had a relationshop with but she wants attention or crazy. A.K.A the crazy woman who said she had three children for MJ named BILLIE JEAN. I guess a gay guy wants to jump on the bandwagon. Everyone else is doing it.

I know someone who met MJ, MJ was a MAN. He was flirty and you can tell he loved women but he was shy and was a gentleman (he loved Diana Ross and wanted to marry her and if you look at his body movement around her, it was clear he wanted her as a lover). As for the lipstick, he did NOT wear lipstick all the time plus MJ was a mastermind of PR. He planted the Elephant man story that everyone was stupid to believe. Do you think he really wanted those bones? ALso, MJ did not talk about soft as you all think. Stop being so stupid to believe everything. RIP MJ

Suzanne, you are judging MJ based on the Martin Bashir mess? Give me a break. MJ was a straight man who clearly wanted to stay like a kid and he was shy (and that was why those con artists were able to lie on him with child abuse claims). If he was gay, he was have had REAL gay lovers just like hetros have lovers. But you did not see that did you Suzanne?

Why dont you tell katy Perry to leave MJj alone instead. She is about to break MJj's record? Katy Perry of all the great artists out there?? I couldn't agree more with what MJ said " The world is sick!!!!!!!!".
August 8th, 2011 2:09 AM
Leave mj alone hes dead and trust i wish he was alive too but the man past away. Hes living in a better place and just hope and pray for his family. Just buy mj's "new" cd's because thats the last songs he left for us. He just wanted us to live happy and enjoy his music.

After watching the Bashir Interview "Living with Michael Jackson" can all you guys out there really say that you are sure MJ was a straight man. Does he look and behave like a straight man in that Interview? Honestly?

The only way to know if MJ was gay or not is to ask a gay guy I think. They have this gay radar that straight people don't have. I never seen a straight man with lipstick and eye shadow. You cover up vitiligo with foundation and powder. Not with red lipstick off stage. If he was gay there is many understandable reasons why he had to stay in the closet. Religion, career, family, female fans etc. Without his female fans he would never had been the biggest artist ever. His gay fans are in minority. But many fans don't want the truth. They want the truth to be what is suitable for them I suppose.
