While Michael Jackson is being hounded by the public for alleged child sexual abuse, those closest to him continue to defend the late pop singer. Michael Jackson’s former bodyguard, Bill Whitfield, said Jackson was certainly attracted to adult women, not young boys.

Whitfield explained he and Jackson constantly talked about women, and he even recounted a few moments where Jackson flirted with and exchanged information with, young women, in an interview with podcast host Jim Breslo on Hidden Truth Show with Jim Breslo.

Breslo inquired about Jackson’s sex life, considering Whitfield said Jackson was undeniably straight. “I’m not gonna put his whole sexual actions out there,” Whitfield shared. “I would never do that. I’m aware of him spending time with women. What he did with these women is a different story. I’m aware that he spent time with two particular women, but what he did with them, he spent time. What kind of time and what they did, that’s not for me to tell.”

Jackson, who died in 2009, has been accused of sexual assault against young boys since the late ‘90s. He appeared in court in 2005 regarding one child’s allegations but was found not guilty on all counts. In 2019, the documentary Leaving Neverland premiered on HBO, which took viewers inside similar allegations from two men who said Jackson abused them as children. Wade Robson and James Safechuck have received both support and hate from those with different opinions of Jackson’s said behavior. When he was alive, Jackson fully denied the allegations and any inappropriate actions.

Past Whitfield, others have shown support for Jackson’s innocence. Former teen heartthrob Aaron Carter shared his story in a video interview with TMZ last week and told a very different story of his childhood with Jackson. “I really idolized Michael the way you see Wade Robson and the other kid, whatever the hell his name is,” Carter said. He also revealed that he’d spent nights sleeping in Jackson’s bed, but nothing provocative happened. Both Robson and Safechuck said they’d slept in Jackson’s bed, and that’s where the alleged sexual relationship between them began.

Carter took a defensive stance against the allegations. “When I see someone that is like—Okay, you’re a grown man, and when Michael Jackson was alive, you are backing him. You are up his a**. You are kissing his a**,” he said. “You are there to testify for him under oath. And then when he dies, you decide that’s a good time to come out? No. What you’re doing is you’re actually stomping on an icon and a legend’s grave. You’re stomping on his grave.”
