"It all started when I met a young man from a construction company who worked in Neverland. I used to tell him, "In case you need a maid in Neverland, call me." And they really did!.
"I've seen the price a person has to pay when the world loves you,'' recalls Kiki Chambers, an employee who worked at Neverland from 1991 to 2003.
Chambers now lives in a small town in western Sweden. The contrasts are great between warm California and life in Neverland, the ranch Michael Jackson built to make up for lost childhood.
Reliving those times, Kiki Chambers was one of many employees who worked full-time at the ranch. When hired, she was instructed not to look Michael Jackson in the eye or take the initiative to talk to him. Being an extremely communicative person of the kind who goes straight to the point she didn't obey this 'main' rule and met a man who loved to tell jokes [and once she thought she had gone too far] — when other employees were fired, she always stayed.
"He once asked me why no one spoke to him. I then had to say that this was the rule we were getting, but he didn't understand why, he hadn't really made those rules.''
Over time, Kiki Chambers achieved a very friendly working relationship with Michael Jackson.
"He used to say he could hear my laugh all over the house,"he recalls.
Sometimes late at night, Michael and this simple maid sat in one of the rooms for long conversations.
''He sometimes asked for advice, since there were so many people who wanted to be close to him and enjoy his fame. He asked me if he could trust this person or someone else. It was difficult, because it wasn't my job to judge who he should be surrounding himself with,"
The happy years in Neverland yield good memories. But everything changed abruptly.
''Michael Jackson loved to play with the children who came to visit Neverland. He liked to laugh, he was open and happy. But after he was charged (by Jordan Chandler's father), of which I'm sure he wasn't guilty, everything changed.
He wasn't happy anymore.
Then more and more doctors visited the ranch. They gave different types of prescription drugs and something was starting to get out of control. The abuse of painkillers makes him visibly drugged. It wasn't the same person. And it was hard, you know? Because I was just a maid. What could I do? He prayed to God for answers.''
Everyone who worked for Michael Jackson had to keep it a secret because he knew the scandal he was going to cause in the media. For Kiki Chambers, it was a hard thing to contain.
"One night, one of my superiors told me that Michael Jackson had received some medication. But something was very wrong. I told my superior I'd call 911 if something bad happened and I didn't care about the consequences.''
Bible verses on the kitchen board gave him strength and encouragement in these difficult times.
"I want people to know that Michael believed in God, there was no doubt about it," he says.
Kiki recalls that when Michael came home after the Twin Towers bombings of the World Trade Center in New York; he was very shaken and gathered all the staff, where they all held hands.
"He asked me to pray to God. I was surprised, and he continued: Ore, Kiki, do it. I prayed to God, I don't even remember how I said it, but I prayed. "
Kiki Chambers describes Michael Jackson as a very complex person—a really good businessman, but on the other hand, he literally threw money with his so-called friends, the "parasites." He was "very shy but at the same time he could stand out."
"He wondered why people called him crazy, it made him extremely upset and it was painful for him. He wanted so much to love and be loved...
I don't want the world to remember him as crazy, because he wasn't. I want him to be remembered as a human being who wanted to make the world a better place and as a father, because that's the role I saw to be the most important thing to him.''
Kiki Chambers also recalls about michael jackson's paternity;
"An exceptional father. He loved his children, he sacrificed himself for them. He never had a childhood so it was his main duty to be the best father. "
In 2003, Kiki Chambers left Neverland. The last time she was with Michael Jackson was during the trial in 2005, where she was a witness.
After that, she no longer had contact with him, although she had friends who still worked on his team. During this time, she prayed and waited for him, until a fateful month of June, on a day she so feared.
"I see his face in the papers and Read many lies about him. I don't know how to deal with all the feelings I have, but I pray to God and I know he's in your hands now. "
