In an explosive new interview on Good Morning America, three of Michael Jackson's bodyguards revealed some secrets about their late employer...

"We were asked to leave hotels because the credit card on file was denied," says Bill Whitfield. Another bodyguard, Mike Garcia, says "the bill wasn't paid."

Whitfield also claims that MJ "threw my cellphone out the window, through the window and broke the glass." The bodyguards also say that the King of Pop attempted to shield his kids from the media, going even so far as to hide mag covers from them.
