Paris Jackson — who is still the hospital recovering from her recent suicide attempt — testified via videotape today in the trial over her father’s death four years ago.
The 15-year-old, who is suing AEG live along with her granmorher and her siblings, was questioned under oath last October about her former nanny, Grace Rwaramba.
Lawyers for the Jackson family had hinted Rwaramba had been fired by AEG the same way Jackson’s personal chef Kai Chase has been let go two months before Jackson died.
So AEG lawyer Jessica Stebbins Bina played a clip from Paris deposition. Asked why Jackson fired Rwaramba, Paris replied, “My dad didn’t like her… She was sneaky. She wasn’t an honest person, and lied a lot.”
Michael hired her back more than once because he felt sorry for her. “She didn’t really have money,” Paris explained.
“One time when me and my brother were really young, before Blanket was born.. She would call the hotel and say she was his wife and they’d let her in, and he’d wake up and she’d be like in his bed…. She was obsessed with him.
That’s what he told us…kinda freaky.”
Asked why her father didn’t get rid of her, Paris replied, “He did. He sent her to India. She kept coming back.”
