Michael Jackson’s doctor sued for feeding singer’s drug addiction

A lawsuit has been filed against another one of Michael Jackson’s doctors, this time against his dermatologist, Dr. Arnold Klein.

Jason Pfeiffer, Klein’s former assistant, filed the lawsuit, which accuses Klein of fueling the singer’s addiction by providing him with muscle relaxers and narcotics and getting him “too drugged up and disoriented to stand on his own,”.

Pfeiffer said that he and Klein’s own nurses were concerned that Jackson was being “overmedicated” by Klein and when he voiced his opinion, was told to “keep his mouth shut.”

Pfeiffer stated in the legal documents that Michael Jackson asked for a doctor’s note to “get out of a court appearance” in October 2008 and Klein issued a note claiming that the singer suffered from a Staph infection and fabricated a test.

There was also a claim made that Klein tried to give Jackson prescription muscle relaxers in 2009 by writing a prescription in Pfeiffer’s name. The documents state that this was a common practice and Klein wrote prescriptions for amyl nitrate, Percocet, Cialis, Phentermine and Levitra in Pfeiffer’s name, for his own consumption as well as for other patients.

Pfeiffer is suing the dermatologist for wrongful termination, hour and wage violations, sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment, among other things.

The legal documents mention that Klein required Pfeiffer to help him find sexual partners and to prepare for sexual encounters with “masseurs, paid escorts and prostitutes” and “required that Pfeiffer wash Klein’s groin.” Pfeiffer also recounted an instance where he was asked to obtain homeless men for his former employer to have sex with.

Pfeiffer said he suffers from emotional problems as a result from Klein’s alleged abuse and is suing him for unspecified damages.

Dr. Conrad Murray, accused of manslaughter and facing trial in September, has accused Klein in his legal documents of getting Jackson addicted to Demerol, a narcotic which he reportedly gave the singer 51 injections in the three months before Jackson’s death.

Klein admitted on CNN’s “Larry King Live” in July 2009 that he had prescribed the singer Demerol, but denied that Jackson was “riddled with needle marks.”

Klein’s attorney, Mira Hashmall, denied the claims.

“Jason Pfeiffer’s allegations are scurrilous and false. His claims lack merit and will be proven baseless in court,” Hashmall said in a statement.
