Nation of Islam Ousted From Jackson Camp?

April 27 -- Michael Jackson is continuing to shake up his inner circle following his indictment by a grand jury as, sources tell ABCNEWS, he is pushing members of the Nation of Islam out of his camp.

The Nation of Islam has been advising the beleaguered "King of Pop" and providing security for him as he battles child molestation allegations. Jackson, 45, faces seven counts of performing a lewd act upon a child for alleged inappropriate conduct with a now-14-year-old cancer survivor who spent time at his Neverland ranch.

Last week, a grand jury hearing evidence in the child molestation case against him decided to indict him, and over the weekend, Jackson parted with his high-profile defense team of Benjamin Brafman and Mark Geragos. He replaced them with Thomas Mesereau Jr., who represented actor Robert Blake in his murder case until the two parted over irreconcilable differences.

Sources tell ABCNEWS that just days before his arraignment on the charges brought by the grand jury, Jackson is trying to distance himself from more controversy and assume a more humble, low-key public image. The Nation of Islam, sources said, will not be handling Jackson's personal security detail at his court appearance Friday. Instead, the singer is seeking the services of a low-profile security firm in an effort to present a different image to the public.

The ‘King’ in Control

Jackson's parting with Geragos and Brafman raised speculation that his brothers Randy and Jermaine were behind their ouster and that perhaps too many people were advising him on decisions.
