Omar Bhatti - Michael Jackson 25 year old son

ET special correspondent Diane Dimond has new information on Omer Bhatti, the young man who reportedly spent years by Michael Jackson's side and has been rumored to be the King of Pop's son.

Despite the rumors about 25-year-old Bhatti, Ricky Harlow, who was signed by Jackson to MJJ Records in 1996, and spent time with the two at the Neverland Ranch, says it isn't so.

"They had a father-and-son type of connection," Harlow says, "but I never thought he was his biological father. They met when Little Michael did a contest impersonating Michael Jackson in Europe in the mid-1990s."

Unconfirmed stories say that Bhatti's mother was a caregiver for "Blanket" and that his father was one of Jackson's chauffeurs, but People.com is reporting that Bhatti was a fixture in Jackson's life since he was approximately 11 years old. He was referred to as "Little Michael" and "Little Monkey" by those close to the superstar.

"Here are some little-known facts about Omer," Dimond says. "He was at Neverland during the 2003 raid and was questioned extensively by police. He was questioned again in preparation for the grand jury.

"I learned during those interviews that Omer became agitated and nervous when the officer asked him whether Michael had ever given him 'Jesus Juice' or shown him pornography."

Dimond continues, saying, "Two independent law enforcement sources have told me that they always treated Omer as a 'victim' of Michael's."

But Ricky Harlow tells People.com that he has only good memories of his time at Neverland.
