Oprah Winfrey is certainly going out with a bang in the final season of her talk show, including Monday’s show, which features her highly anticipated sit-down chat with Michael Jackson’s mother, Katherine, and his three children.
In the revealing interview, Katherine admits that her son was addicted to plastic surgery and that after years of denial, Jackson patriarch Joe had admitted to beating his children. Katherine also discusses her son’s 2009 death, saying she received the news from his personal doctor, Conrad Murray, when she arrived at the hospital, according to E!’s transcript of the show.
‘He came out, and he was talking and it took him so long.’ Finally, Katherine asked, ‘Did he make it?’ ‘He said, ‘No, he’s gone.’ That’s all I remember,’ she said, tearing up. ‘I’m sorry.’
