Tonight, ET has never-before-seen video of Michael Jackson under oath, a side of the late King of Pop rarely seen — and his former manager Dieter Weisner breaks his silence about it!
“He was on one side a big beautiful artist,” Weisner tells ET’s Mark Steines, “and he was such a lonely man — that was the problem.”
Being questioned in a multi-million-dollar lawsuit for breach of contract by a former business associate, Michael appears at times jittery and nervous, sometimes laughing, claiming at one point that he did not testify in a previous case because he was suffering from a spider bite.
At the time of the alleged bite, Weisner was Michael’s manager, a job he took in 1996 that he held for some seven years. Now, he breaks his silence about Michael’s claim.
“He talked about a spider bite, and it was not a spider bite,” says Weisner. “He got an injection from one of the doctors, and I think the needle broke. … I don’t know what it is, but it was one of these doctors I didn’t like.”
