relationship with the superstar.  While he got to do some amazing stuff with
Michael, he says there was a lot of stuff that Michael did that made him
uncomfortable. "He gave me wine," Carter told the magazine. "I mean, I could
have refused, but I was 15. ... He gave me cocaine. I felt weird about that and
other stuff ... We spoke afterwards, hours and hours, on the phone. I admired
Michael, but his behavior bothered me a lot."
