Debbie Rowe’s, Michael Jackson’s second wife, revelation on how she stood by as Dr. Arnie Klein unethically prescribed harmful drugs to Jackson has shocked the superstar’s family. In her opinion, she was “partly to blame” for Michael Jackson’s death in 2009. 

Rowe will appear in the new documentary titled TMZ Investigates: Who Really Killed Michael Jackson. In an interview, she broke down as she acknowledged her guilt for not having done more during Jackson’s addiction years. Rowe, 63, was married to Jackson from 1996 to 1999. The documentary deals with how she worked with Dr. Klein, who gave Jackson an addictive and powerful opioid named Demerol.
