MICHAEL Jackson’s longtime personal assistant has lifted the lid on his bizarre time with the King of Pop - including how he’d be sent out to buy “weird porno magazines full of fat, old women" for the star.

Scott Shaffer, 66, worked for Jacko for seven years, becoming a close confidante and doing everything for the star from holding up his IV drip before a show to reading him kids stories in bed.

Now speaking out about life with MJ for the first time, he revealed how he would even would be tasked with going out to news stands to buy his porno magazines.

In an exclusive interview with Sun Online, Scott said: “People used to say he didn’t like girls - but I know he did.

"He liked to look at pictures of naked girls and he’d send me out to news stands to get him magazines.

“But sometimes instead of regular Playboy or something like that he would say 'Get some with big fat women or old women. Just a little variety' - he’d ask for whatever was unusual.

“I think the most unusual porn magazine I bought was big, fat old ladies.

“One embarrassing time we were staying at the Hilton and I’m walking back from the news stand with a big stack of girly magazines for Michael and then one of the band saw me and thought they were mine.

“I told them they weren’t for me but no one believed me they were all teasing me."

But despite his boss's weird porn requests - he said he could also act like a child and would ask him to read kid's stories to him in bed.

His favorite book was "Goodnight Moon" - a pre-school book about a bunny who says goodnight to everything around him.

“So there was that side of Michael and then another side of him was very childlike.

"We were alike in that respect we were both like big kids and we both loved Disneyland. One of the perks of going with him was that you never had to wait in line.

“We went on Space Mountain eight times, with the lights on, with the lights off, it was amazing.

“He loved children’s stories too - he used to ask me to read to him in bed. He loved Goodnight Moon, I think that was his favourite.

“He loved kids cartoons too and slapstick stuff like The Three Stooges.”

Scott started working for Jackson after meeting him on the set of Black and White in 1991, where he was working as a production assistant.

He soon began working as his personal assistant over a seven year period - and became part of Jackson's inner circle. Jackson even gave him the nickname "House" which has stuck to this day.

Scott also confessed to feeling “heartbroken” after seeing Leaving Neverland and said he couldn't bring himself to speak about it until now.

But after years of not believing accusations of child abuse levelled at Jacko, he says after watching the controversial documentary he believes the victims and supports them.

“I found Leaving Neverland very hard to watch - it took me a few days to actually watch it... I think I knew once I watched it I wouldn’t be able to un-watch it," he said.

“I’ve always defended Michael but after hearing Wade and Jimmy everything just started to fall into place - like pieces of a puzzle. Like one time Michael asked me to get Jimmy a job in the movie business.

“I said, ‘Sure but wouldn’t it be better coming from you?’ At the time he said he didn’t want it to come from him, because he didn’t want to have to owe someone else a favor.

“But could it have been that he didn’t want them to be linked together in this way? Maybe.

“I feel very numb, very sad about it all. If I had seen anything like that going on when I worked for him I would have done something and I would have left.

“A lot of things made sense to me after watching that documentary - like why he would suddenly not be interested in the kids once they reached a certain age.

“I don’t think Michael would have seen what he was doing as abuse, I think he would have thought he was showing love but that’s no excuse - he ruined people’s lives.

“And I fault the parents for letting their kids go off unsupervised with him.”
