Grace Rwaramba is the nanny of singer Michael Jackson's children, a former MJJ Productions employee, and long time friend of the Jackson's older sister, Rebbie Jackson. After Jackson's arrest in 2003 Jackson's wife, Debbie Rowe filed for temporary custody alleging that she became concerned that during the criminal case, Jackson would be too distracted to care for the children. Rowe was said to be disturbed by his association with the Nation of Islam, whom she believed Rwaramba introduced to Jackson, as her supposed Muslim religion. "I am Jewish, as are — by definition — my children. I worried about how my children would be treated by these new advisers to Michael," she said. These accusations turned to be fraudulent as Rwaramba spoke out for the first time, granting MSNBC an exclusive interview. Rwaramba holds a degree in Business Administration from Atlantic Union College, a Seventh Day Adventist institution in S. Lancaster, Massachusetts. It is still uncertain if Rwaramba is a Seventh Day Adventist church member or if she belongs to the Muslim religion. Roger Friedman FOX Columnist Roger Friedman has repeatedly attacked Raymone Bain, Jackson's publicist, Rwaramba and Jackson in his articles, most typically discussing his financial problems, health, and being drugged and imprisoned by Rwaramba from his parents, Joseph Jackson and Katherine Jackson and possibly the rest of his family, who typical need her 'permission' to see Jackson. Jackson released a lengthy statement in regards to Friedman and his columns, through Bain, defending his assistant/governess in response to Friedman's unfair treatment defamation, who is not famous and values her privacy. Sheik Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa The defense on Jackson's team recently called upon Rwaramba, who stated that the sheik was only giving Jackson gifts.
