The men described Jackson as an "awesome" dad who loved to spend time with his children and took them to fast food drive-throughs for Big Macs and fried chicken. Often, Jackson would insist on ordering himself, the guards said.
"The kids were constantly saying, 'I love you, Daddy…They were like four buddies," Garcia said.
Despite having a privileged upbringing, Whitfield said the children were very "polite" and "well mannered."
A note from Paris to Whitfield asking for tuna fish for the cat is filled with please and thank you.
In fact, the bodyguards said the children were the easiest part of their job, and remember, wistfully, moments when they misbehaved and tried to sneak extra Oreos.
"I mean, sometimes they would say little things like, 'Bill, Daddy wants you to go get some cookies for us,'" Whitfield said, remembering moments when Jackson's kids tried to trick him into getting them cookies.
"Sometimes he would see [the tabloids] and he would take them and turn them around, so the kids wouldn't see them," Whitfield said.
Jackson and Child Molestation Charges
In 2005, Jackson was brought up on child molestation charges but later acquitted. When asked if they believed Jackson was a pedophile, all three men emphatically said "no."
"Being a man…men know men…and we [were] around him long enough to know…he was a man," Whitfield said.
Garcia said Jackson had "desires of women like we do. He had lovers."
The men said the pop star had at least two girlfriends and sometimes felt as though they were chaperoning two teenagers on a date.
"In the cars that we had, we had a curtain that covered the back seat…you couldn't see in the back seat. They talked back there…they didn't do nothing out of bounds…you can hear the kissing," Whitfield said.
