Michael Jackson 'Enemies List' Included Uri Gellar

One of Michael Jackson's most vocal 'friends', Uri Gellar, reportedly featured on a secret list of 'enemies' drawn up by the singer.

Gellar has frequently spoken publicly following Jackson's death in June, and has the dubious honour of persuading the late singer to take part in the disastrous 2003 Martin Bashir documentary that resulted in his trial on child abuse allegations.

The spoon bender was joined by on the list of ex-friends by Rabbi Schmuley Boteach, Santa Barbara, California, District Attorney Tom Sneddon, who tried to put Jackson behind bars on child molestation charges, and lawyer Glora Allred, according to Jackson's former manager Dieter Wiesner.

The German svengali admits he transcribed the list as his client reeled off names of people he wanted kept away from him at all times.

He says: "Sometimes he was a little bit paranoid... I'd ask him, 'Michael, what are you doing...?' He said... 'These people are after me and they want to destroy my life.'"

The enemies list also included music mogul Tommy Mottola and Janet Arviso, who accused Jackson of molesting her son at his Neverland Ranch home.

Remembering Michael Jackson


  
Michael Joseph Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana on August 29, 1958. He was the seventh child of nine children to Joseph and Katherine Jackson and was born into a typical working class family. The city of Gary is 25 miles from downtown Chicago and is famous for its massive steel industry. It took its name from the chairman of U.S. Steel, Elbert H Gary, and is nicknamed 'City of Century' – we're hoping for ironic reasons. (Image: WENN.com)

  • You err. It's Uri Geller, not Gellar. And he's anything but German, he's an Israeli. Also, are you saying that Jackson dictated this "enemy list" to Geller, or was actually ON the list? Jackson fell for the Geller tricks, accepted his claims of supernatural powers, and would hardly have listed him as an enemy...!
