Who is Dr Tohme Tohme?

Jermaine introduced Michael to Dr Tohme Tohme.

Dr Tohme Tohme became Michael’s business manager, and is believed to be the mastermind behind his comeback shows in London.

A New York based concert promoter wanted small shows for Michael Jackson. He overheard Michael telling Leonard Rowe he only agreed on doing 10 shows. He also heard Dr. Tohme Tohme saying he knew Michael wasn’t going to make the shows in london:

After Michael’s death, his former spiritual advisor June Gatlin, came forward with new taped conversations from September 2008 in which Michael revealed he was terrified of Dr. Tohme Tohme.

Gatlin says, “He was afraid of who this man is, afraid of whatever this man may be capable of doing… He had taken over Michael’s complete life.”

On the tapes, Michael can be heard telling Gatlin, “This guy, he just… has ways about him… There’s a divide between me and my representatives and I don’t talk to my lawyer, my accountant. I talk to him and he talks to them…I don’t like it. I wanna get somebody in there with him that I know and can trust. I don’t know what’s in my accounts.”

CNN carried the story:

Michael fired Tohme on May 5th, sending a letter to all business associates in which he asserted; “Dr. Tohme Tohme is no longer authorized to represent me.”

However, Tohme, together with Jermaine, spoke on behalf of Michael and the Jackson family hours after he died:
