Kai Chase speaks about working for MJ

SECONDS earlier, they had been excited about a trip to London to see their dad make the greatest pop comeback in years. But as the clock struck 12.15pm on Thursday, June 25, last year, Michael Jackson's three children stood in horror as they witnessed their music-legend father's tragic death.

And the woman who was at their side during their dad's last moments - the family chef Kai Chase - has now told how she calmed them as they screamed in shock. "It was as if a hammer had smashed the sun in and everything turned black," said Kai, 40, in her first-ever newspaper interview.

Paris and Prince had burst into their father's bedroom and witnessed Dr Conrad Murray performing emergency resuscitation on Jackson. And in the 15 minutes between the children being ushered out and the paramedics' arrival, Kai shielded them from the scenes around them. She recalled: "All three children ran to me, crying hysterically. Prince was shouting, 'Dad, Dad, what's wrong with my dad?' while Paris screamed, 'Daddy, Daddy, Daddy,' over and over'. I clutched them to my chest and got them to hold hands with me in a circle. Then I said, 'Pray with me, all pray with me,' and we prayed aloud, asking God for a miracle. We said, 'Dear God, keep Daddy safe, make this okay.' But I knew - and I think they knew - that he was dead."

Kai, who still visits the Jackson children, worked as the family's personal chef in their rented Holmby Hills mansion in LA for four months before Jackson died. Yesterday she gave The Sun the most intimate portrait yet of Michael's last few months with his children. She revealed how the kids still continually play their dad's hits - they love the 1992 song Remember The Time - while Paris endlessly watches footage of her father.

Kai recalled: "Paris is a huge lover of animals and nature, so we dug a vegetable patch and snuck out at night with flashlights to gather enough snails to build a snail farm. Prince, who was then 12, loved to read and was really into movies. He spent hours making animation films using apples in the kitchen. And Blanket was hilarious. Michael built a movie theatre for the kids and had movie nights for them. He liked them to watch black and white movies and little Blanket got really into the 1930s gangster film The Public Enemy. He'd run up to me in the kitchen, pretending to be James Cagney, mimicking his gangster voice perfectly. It was hilarious, especially as he was only seven."

Kai revealed that Michael spent hours organising "Daddy Time" with the children - and playing practical jokes on her. She said: "Those few months were so happy. Mr Jackson was an almost Willy Wonka-style father, with his crazy sense of fun." On one occasion the kids beckoned her into the kitchen, saying: "Your boyfriend is here. I went in and they had dressed one of Mr Jackson's mannequins. It was so life-like and made me jump so high. Mr Jackson was hiding behind the chair and jumped out, saying, 'Gotcha!'. He loved practical jokes."

Kai also revealed how Paris, now 12, wept tears of happiness after her daddy organised a special party for her 11th birthday - just two months before his death. She said: "Mr Jackson had paid for members of the circus troupe Cirque du Soleil to perform throughout the house and garden. It was magical and one of the security team filmed the whole day. I know Paris keeps that tape close to her heart and watches it to remind her of her daddy."

Kai - who has no kids of her own - said the children were particularly excited about coming to London to see their father perform for the first time. She said: "They had flown over to Britain with their dad when he announced the O2 tour and had loved it. Mr Jackson loved the UK - he told me he had a huge place in his heart for the country, the Queen, and the music there. He loved fish and chips and wanted the children to try shepherd's pie. London was one of his favourite places on earth. And in the last week before he died he had British theme nights for the children. Rolling Stones and Beatles songs were played in the kitchen, which Prince loved, as he's a huge Stones fan.

"The kids spent hours talking in Cockney accents and were competing for the best Cockney voice on the morning he died. Blanket kept saying, 'Top o' the mornin' to you,' over and over - which is obviously Irish, but he didn't seem to notice."

Kai saw Jackson get increasingly tired in the last few weeks before his death and said: "There were a lot of people behind the scenes - business types - putting pressure on him, I think. He looked tired and the training was hard - but he still found endless energy for the children."

And she revealed the kids have given her what they call a "Box Of Happiness" - a shoebox holding a stack of their letters, thanking her for cooking, bringing gifts and being their friend. She said: "I'll keep these letters close to my heart for as long as I live. They're incredibly special."

Obrigada... Bilhete para Kai

Em uma recente entrevista Chase falou sobre como era dentro da casa e sobre as crianças que se tornaram tão especiais para ela.

Kai Chase contou que Prince Michael, de 13 anos, Paris, de 12, e Prince Michael II, de 8, ficaram do lado de fora do quarto do cantor e rezaram muito enquanto as tentativas de reanimá-lo eram feitas. 

"Foi como se um martelo despedaçasse o sol, e tudo escureceu. As três crianças correram para mim, chorando histericamente. Prince gritando: 'Papai, papai o que há de errado com o papai?' E Paris gritava: 'Papai, papai, papai'. Agarrei eles em meu peito e fizemos um círculo. Eu disse: 'Orem comigo'. E oramos em voz alta, pedindo a Deus por um milagre. Nós dissemos: 'Querido Deus, mantenha o papai seguro’. Mas eu sabia e acho que eles também sabiam que ele estava morto", disse Kai ao “The Sun”.

Ela revelou como as crianças ainda constantemente escutam hits de seu papai - eles amam Remember the Time - enquanto Paris assiste infinitamente à imagens do seu pai.

Kai lembrou: "Paris adora animais e a natureza. Cavamos um pequeno jardim e íamos toda noite com lanternas para colher caracóis para fazer uma pequena fazenda".

"Prince, que tinha 12, gostava de ler e sabia muito sobre filmes. Ele passava horas fazendo filmes de animação usando as maçãs na cozinha".

"E Blanket era hilário. Michael construiu uma sala de cinema para as crianças e tinham noites de cinema". Ele gostava que eles vissem filmes preto e branco e o pequeno Blanket realmente gostou do filme de gângster dos anos 1930, "Inimigo Público. Ele vinha até mim na cozinha, fingindo ser James Cagney, imitando perfeitamente sua voz de gangster. Era divertido, especialmente porque ele tinha apenas 7 anos".

Kai revelou que Michael passava horas organizando a "Daddy Time" (Hora do papai) com os filhos - e pregando pegadinhas nela.

Ela disse: "Esses meses foram muito felizes. Michael Jackson era um pai ao estilo Willy Wonka, com seu senso de diversão maluco".

Em uma ocasião as crianças chamaram ela na cozinha, dizendo: "seu namorado está aqui." Kai recordou: "Entrei e eles tinham vestido um dos manequins do Sr. Jackson. Era tão realista que me assustou. Sr. Jackson estava escondido atrás da cadeira e deu um pulo, dizendo: 'Te Peguei!'. Ele amava brincadeiras."

Ela falou sobre como Paris chorou de alegria em uma ocasião, quando seu pai planejou uma festa especial para seu aniversário de onze, apenas dois meses antes de sua morte.

Ela disse: "Ele pagou alguns membros do Cirque du Soleil para se apresentarem no jardim e por toda a casa. Foi mágico e um dos membros da segurança filmou o dia inteiro. Sei que Paris guarda este vídeo em seu coração e que o assiste para lembrar do pai." 

Kai - que não tem filhos - disse que as crianças estavam bem animadas com a ida a Londres para ver o pai se apresentar pela primeira vez.

Ela disse: "Eles tinham sobrevoado a Grã-Bretanha com o pai quando ele anunciou a turnê e tinham amado. O Sr. Jackson amava o Reino Unido - ele me disse que tinha um lugar enorme no seu coração para o país, a Rainha, e as músicas de lá. Ele gostava de peixe e chips e queria que as crianças provassem Shepherd's Pie (torta do pastor). Londres era um dos seus lugares favoritos na terra.

"E na última semana antes de morrer, ele tinha noites com tema britânico com as crianças. Músicas dos Rolling Stones e Beatles eram tocadas na cozinha, dos quais Prince gostava, ele é um grande fã dos Stones". 

"As crianças passavam horas conversando imitando o sotaque "cockney*" e estavam competindo quem imitava melhor na manhã em que ele morreu. Blanket ficava dizendo, 'Top o' the mornin' to you' repetidas vezes -  o que, na verdade, é uma expressão irlandesa, mas ele não devia saber". 

Kai viu Michael ficar cada vez mais cansado nas últimas semanas antes de sua morte e disse: "Tinha muita gente nos bastidores colocando pressão nele, eu acho. Ele parecia cansado e o treinamento foi duro - mas ele ainda encontrava energia inesgotável para os filhos". 

E ela revelou que as crianças deram-lhe o que elas chamam de "Caixa da Felicidade" - uma caixa de sapatos, com uma pilha de cartas deles, agradecendo a ela por cozinhar, trazer presentes e ser amiga deles.

Ela disse: "Vou levar essas cartas comigo, no coração, enquanto eu viver. Elas são muito especiais para mim."

*Nota: O cockney é um sotaque tradicional do leste de Londres. Têm um sotaque (cockney accent) e um inglês (cockney english) distintos e com frequência empregam gírias em rima.
