Depending which article you read, Grace Rwaramba was either the late Michael Jackson’s personal assistant or his kids’ nanny. (Maybe both.) It seems that older articles have the Uganda native listed as his assistant, including one that I wrote about here on STA, while newer ones refer to her as the nanny. However, the Mirror (UK) is now alleging that not only was Rwaramba responsible for Michael’s three children, she was also his secret girlfriend.
Ian Barkley, who travelled the world with Jacko for three years as his personal photographer, says the couple’s romance was an open secret among staff after they fell in love while she was nanny to his children.
“Grace loved Michael and he loved her,” he said. “The kids called her ‘Mom’.”
And here’s something that helps explain her shifting job title:
Grace was introduced to Jacko by his former spokesman Dr Tohme R Tohme in 1991. She started out as a secretary before working her way up to become the most important woman in the superstar’s life.
In 1999 she was picked to care for Jackson’s oldest kids following his divorce from second wife Debbie Rowe. She became the dominant figure in their lives with one insider noting: “Everything is done Grace’s way.”
Then it gets really interesting:
Stunning Grace, who also had a short-lived romance with Jackson’s older brother Jermaine in the early Nineties, said last week she quit the US in December after being sacked by Jacko. The drug-addled star was said to have become jealous of her closeness to the children.
Grace had been sacked on several other occasions only to be re-employed. Once she was dismissed for calling Jackson’s mother and sister to ask them to intervene over his drug problems.
