Watch the full exclusive interview Tuesday on "Good Morning America."
"We were asked to leave hotels because the credit card on file was denied," bodyguard Bill Whitfield told "Good Morning America" in an exclusive interview to air Tuesday.
"The bill wasn't paid," bodyguard Mike Garcia added.
"We smile about it," Whitfield said, "but it's really more painful and hurtful."

I believe these bodyguards were with MJ in Vegas and maybe early when he returned to LA, but not near the end. Nothing in the GMA piece referred to LA, the pix were all Vegas and they talked about cruising the strip with him. Could never figure out why he returned to Vegas rather than come back to LA in 2007.
i think that these bodyguards have betrayed michael and his family
i agree they have betrayed michael - they should not speak out and especially not be seeking to get a book deal.
this is shocking - and disappointing there seems to be so many people that mike had confidence in, and they have betrayed him.
