Jason Pfeiffer, the CEO of a medical company, claims that he had a “passionate and sexual” relationship with Michael Jackson that lasted until the pop star’s untimely death last June.

Pfeiffer made the claim Thursday in an interview with Extra. A former dermatologist’s assistant, he claimed he met Jackson in 2008 at the office of skin doctor Arnold Klein. The famed dermatologist backed up the claims, saying that he once walked in on the two men.

Jackson, whose death at age 50 shocked the world last summer, always denied that he was gay.
