The pop star was wearing traditional Arabic head dress; maybe that was what prevented him from seeing that he had entered the ladies room.
Imagine a granny washing her hands, looking into the mirror and spotting Michael Jackson applying make-up. That would rush her directly to her medication.

But, unluckily for the singer, the woman who spotted him was a young one, who rushed directly to her mobile phone and took some pictures.

The pop star screamed, making his security guards to barge in to his aid.
Witnesses could see Michael bodyguards trying to wrestle the mobile phone from the woman.

Police arrived in time and forced the woman to hand over the phone, as it is forbidden to take unauthorized pictures to sell for profit in Bahrain.

So Michael made it this time. His new home-country Bahrain has managed to protect his interests. The singer reportedly left USA because of the way he was treated by authorities during the trial.
