Michael Jackson's ex-wife says daughter Paris is 'devastated'

'HE DIDN'T LIKE BEING HIGH'

When asked about her relationship with Prince, Rowe said: "We don't hate each other."

She said she does not see Prince much but speaks almost daily with Paris.

Under cross-examination by Katherine Jackson's attorneys, Rowe reiterated her testimony from Wednesday, saying that Jackson's doctors did not treat the singer with his best interests in mind and took advantage of his fear of pain.

Rowe, who has testified that she began to grow worried about Jackson's prescription drug use in the early 1990s after he underwent several medical procedures, also said that the singer did not like medication that made him slur his speech or feel as if he was not in control.

"He didn't like being high," she said.

Rowe told jurors on Wednesday that Jackson was administered powerful anesthetic drugs because he was having trouble sleeping.

"Michael was at the end of his rope. He didn't know what to do," she said about a time on tour in 1997. "He was more worried about not sleeping than dying because he couldn't perform (without sleep)."

Murray, who was caring for Jackson as the singer rehearsed for his series of 50 comeback "This Is It" concerts, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2011 for administering the propofol that killed the star.

AEG Live has argued that Jackson, who was 50 at the time of his death, had prescription drug and addiction problems for years before entering into any agreement with the company.

It also has said that it did not hire or supervise Murray and could not have foreseen that the physician would have posed a danger to the singer.
