Arnold Klein, one of the Michael Jackson doctors being investigated in connection with the star’s death, was kicked out of his first medical residency for peddling prescription drugs.
The Daily Beast’s Gerald Posner has learned that Dr. Arnold Klein, one of Hollywood’s star dermatologists and Michael Jackson doctor for nearly 25 years, was apparently forced to leave his residency at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in the 1970s because of allegations that he was selling unauthorized prescription drugs to fellow students, according to two people who know him.
Klein’s colleagues recalled that when he left for California, there was no indication of wrongdoing, but that he told them he was moving to the West Coast because he was about to become engaged to a woman living in Los Angeles (Klein has never married).
The Daily Beast has confirmed that Klein is one of the doctors being investigated by authorities in connection with Jackson’s apparent drug overdose.
Is Arnold Klein the father of Michael Jackson’s kids?
