Michael Jackson was a notorious womanizer when he was still alive, his ex-bodyguard claimed.
New bombshell accusations against the King of Pop emerged as his former bodyguard and longtime confidant Matt Fiddes made shocking claims years after Jackson's death.
During his appearance on the "Stripping Off With Matt Haycox" podcast, Fiddes - who claimed he is also the biological father of Jackson's youngest child Blanket - opened up about the "Thriller" singer and called him "a real womanizer."
"He was suppressed from expressing or showing any kind of interest in women because of his music label," Fiddes said. "They believed it wasn't good for his career and would ultimately impact his female fans. We went to great lengths to hide his girlfriends and wives from the public."
Fiddes claimed Motown brainwashed the "Smooth Criminal" hitmaker and was not allowed to be seen with a girl since it could affect his fanbase.
The former bodyguard also claimed that Jackson became more open toward the end of his life, leading him to work with Martin Bashir.
"They hoped it would help him, but it only highlighted his issues with women. In the Living With Michael Jackson documentary, Bashir promised him things that never happened, and the footage was manipulated to fit a negative narrative," Fiddes told the podcast.

In the documentary, Jackson told his female fans he would give them "more than a hug" - though Bashir's comments reportedly overshadowed such moments.
On the other hand, the child abuse allegations against Jackson might have reportedly been financially motivated.
"The guy was into women," said Fiddes. "If you're gonna go after someone and bring them down, child molestation, murder, rape, those are the things. And once you've been accused of that, you're over, aren't you? Michael never recovered from that."
Previously, Fiddes claimed Jackson had a short-lived affair with Whitney Houston in 1991 before his marriage to Lisa Marie Presley in 1994. Jackson was also married to Debbie Rowe in 1996, though they divorced in 2000.
