In an exclusive statement released to Access Hollywood, Michael Jackson's spokesperson fires back at reports that the pop star has suffered an overdose from drugs and alcohol.

In response to a story by The National Enquirer that Jackson suffered from an overdose from drugs and alcohol, his spokesperson and publicist, Raymone K. Bain, released the following statement to Access Hollywood:

“Michael Jackson and been working with several artists recording his Katrina Relief song, and with me all week, including today. He is doing fine and I have never seen him happier or healthier. Whomever these individuals are who are intent on disseminating false information throughout the media regarding Mr. Jackson, should begin hiring good attorneys; and the journalists who continuously rely on these ‘sources’ should begin checking them thoroughly, because Mr. Jackson's tolerance level has come to an end.

“The Green light that people have thought they have had to willfully impugn Michael Jackson's character and integrity has now become Red.”
