Famed Beverly Hills dermatologist Arnold Klein says that he has received death threats for supporting his former office manager's claim that deceased pop superstar Michael Jackson was gay.

On Friday, Klein substantiated claims that Jason Pfeiffer, now a medical company CEO, made to Extra about a gay relationship with Jackson that lasted until the time of the singer's death last June.

According to the New York Daily News, Klein reports that he has received "horrible death threats" since calling TMZ to support Pfeiffer's claims about Jackson, who was a patient.

Klein maintains that he revealed Jackson was gay in order to squash rumors that Jackson was a pedophile.
