Michael Jackson's former bodyguard, Matt Fiddes, has said that the King of Pop would have "easily topped the #MeToo hit list" if he was alive, but mentioned that he would have killed himself rather than face another trial over sexual allegations, according to a report. According to Fiddes, who was a close pal of the late musician, Jackson would likely have faced allegations from hundreds of men and women in light of the Harvey Weinsten scandal, Radar Online reported. Fiddes added that the shock of the allegations would have prevented Jackson from reaching his 60th birthday, which he would have been celebrating at the end of the month had he not been killed by a drug overdose in 2009.
