Who knew Randy Jackson and Michael Jackson had beef that almost got Randy shot?!! Well, according to MJ’s former bodyguards, Bill Whitfield and Javon Beard, things sometimes got out of hand at Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch, with  people whom MJ reportedly referred to as “vultures”…family members included. In particular, Whitfield and Beard told a very detailed story about MJ’s baby bro, Randy, causing a ruckus at MJ’s home.

In their book, “Remember the Time: Protecting Michael Jackson in His Final Days,” Whitfield and Beard gave first-hand accounts of what it was like spending damn near every waking hour with their “boss,” Michael Jackson, for the final two and a half years of his life.

Whitfield and Beard got to know MJ like the back of their hands – including MJ’s likes, dislikes, quirks…and his annoyance of some of those he loved dearly. That brings us back to Randy Jackson. Apparently, some major drama went down at The Neverland Ranch once, when MJ was home and Randy unexpectedly arrived amid a heated altercation…and almost getting sprayed with bullets!

Michael’s Bodyguards Told It All About Randy’s And MJ’s Beef

MJ’s bodyguards, Bill Whitfield and Javon Beard, say Michael grew tired of some of his family members frustrating him. So, he started making everyone — EXCEPT Mama Katherine of course — make an “appointment” to see him.  However, that reportedly didn’t go over well with Randy, who  decided to take his disapproval for MJ’s new visitation rule into his own hands one day:

Bill Whitfield: I came between [Randy’s car] and the house, drew my pistol and took aim at the driver. I had the laser sight right on his chest and the only thing running through my mind was, ‘Whoever this is, they’re about to get shot.’ The driver ducked down and out the corner of my eye I saw this woman in the passenger seat. That threw me. I wasn’t expecting to see a woman. Then the driver lifted his head up and I saw who it was and I froze. ‘Holy sh*t, I thought. That’s his brother. That’s Randy Jackson.’

Javon Beard: “He started screaming, cussing his brains out, rapping all this stuff about money he’s owed and how he’s not leaving without it. ‘Michael owe me money! I want my fu*kin’ money! I ain’t fu*kin’ moving till I get my fu*kin’ money!'”
Whitfield: “I didn’t care what he wanted. I just wanted him outside the gate. I put my pistol away, trying to cool things down. I asked him to exit his vehicle so we could talk in a civilized manner. He refused. He just sat there in the car, threatening to call the press if he didn’t get to see his brother. I didn’t want him to call the press, and I couldn’t call the cops because that would just bring the press too. I was stuck. I had this angry little a$$hole cussing in my face, and I couldn’t do anything about it.”

Michael was so fed up with the Randy-drama at his front gate, that he didn’t even attend his good friend, Elizabeth Taylor’s, 75th birthday party that evening…he’d been planning for all week. Beard and Whitfield said MJ was really excited about surprising Taylor at her party, and they hadn’t seen him that excited in a long time. But by the time the Jackson family patriarch, Joe, was able to finally get Randy to vacate the Neverland premises, Michael was like, ‘forget it’ and went to sleep, says MJ’s bodyguards.

We all know money can make folks do something strange for some change, but what in the world was Randy thinking…[allegedly] crashing into the Neverland gate like that? He’s lucky the bodyguards didn’t shoot first and ask questions later.
