New
York
(ANI):
Michael
Jackson"s
former
bodyguards
have
revealed
that
the
King
of
Pop
became
frustrated
during
the
final
years
of
his
life
because
of
financial
difficulties.
Bill
Whitfield
and
Mike
Garcia,
who
served
as
the
Jackson"s
minders,
revealed
that
he
often
suffered
fits
of
rage.
"We
were
asked
to
leave
hotels
because
the
credit
card
on
file
was
denied," the
New
York
Post
quoted
Whitfield
as
saying
on
'Good
Morning
America".
Also,
Whitfield
added:
"We
smile
about
it,
but
it's
really
more
painful
and
hurtful.
"He
got
so
frustrated
he
threw
my
cell
phone
out
the
window,
through
the
window
and
broke
the
glass.
And
he
looked
at
me
and
said,
''Bill,
you''re
going
to
need
a
new
phone.''
The
bodyguards
also
mentioned
that
he
tried
to
avoid
Jackson"s
three
kids
-
Prince,
Paris
and
Blanket
-
from
seeing
images
of
their
father
on
magazine
covers.
He
added:
"I'll
be
ahead
of
him,
because
I
know
he's
coming
this
way,
and
I'm
looking
at
magazine
racks
that
may
have
something
about
him
on
them
and
I'll
turn
it
around.
Sometimes
he's
seen
them,
and
you
would
actually
see
him
take
it
and
turn
them
around
so
the
kids
didn't
see
them."
