LOS ANGELES, July 8 (UPI) -- Dr. Arnold Klein of Los Angeles denies over-prescribing drugs to Michael Jackson, but doesn't quite deny he is the real father of Jackson's children.

"I didn't give him this crap they are talking about," Klein told Good Morning America. He said he never prescribed Oxycontin to anyone.

The professor of dermatology and medicine at UCLA Medical School said he is not one of five doctors allegedly being investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department for their alleged role in Jackson's prescriptions, People Magazine reported. Klein was Jackson's long-term dermatologist.

As to the question of whether he is the real father of Prince Michael, 12, Paris Katherine, 11, and Prince Michael II (Blanket), 7, Klein said, "All I can tell you is, to the best of my knowledge, I am not the father of these children; I can't answer it any other way. I don't want to feed any of this insanity going around."
