According to Los Angeles (CNN) -- The mother of Michael Jackson's two oldest children broke down in tears when she was asked to describe the impact of the singer's death on his daughter Paris."Their father is dead," Debbie Rowe responded. "I almost lost my daughter! She is devastated. She tried to kill herself. She is devastated. She has no life. She doesn't feel she has a life anymore."
Rowe returned to the
witness stand Thursday for a second day of testimony in the small Los
Angeles courtroom. She was ordered to testify about the singer's drug
use by lawyers for AEG Live, the concert promoter being sued by
Jackson's mother and three children.
Wednesday's questioning
by AEG Live lawyer Marvin Putnam centered on Jackson's use of
prescription drugs -- to deal with pain from scalp surgery, and two
times in Germany, where doctors used the surgical anesthetic propofol to
treat his insomnia.
Thursday's testimony,
however, began with Rowe's description of Jackson's skin problems, which
included vitiligo -- a condition in which his pigment disappeared,
leaving large white spots on his face, hands and body.
"Everyone says he
bleached himself, but he didn't," Rowe said. Many of his visits to Dr.
Arnold Klein, the Beverly Hills dermatologist where she worked for 18
years as a medical assistant, were to treat the condition, she
testified.
Jackson compared himself
to the "Elephant Man," a 19th-century Englishman who became a circus
sideshow curiosity because of severe disfigurements, she said.
"He was worried that
people would see the disease or the disfigurement before they would see
him working sometimes," Rowe testified.
