Janet Jackson has lost her mind. I don't know if all those years of yo yo dieting or all the secrets she has had to keep for so long have finally caused her to lose it, but when you slap your 14 year old niece and call her a b**tch because you are trying to steal their money, then you have issues. Remember that when you hear about all of this. The three kids have the money. It is their money. Michael's siblings are trying to take it from the three kids or at least a portion of it. I think that Michael Jackson's kids need to have someone who is responsible for them other than Katherine Jackson. Obviously the kids love her, but it is just as obvious that it's not working because Michael's siblings are trying to turn her to the dark side and go against the executors of Michael's estate. Meanwhile, they also have their hands out and would like to borrow a few bucks from mom. You know, for bills like plastic surgery and keeping up a ridiculous lifestyle that their brother subsidized. TJ, who is Tito's son has stepped up and says he wants to be the guardian. Can you trust him though? Tito says he is backing out of the sibling drama, but remember that the guardian has access to a lot of money and even though they have to account for it, they can still live in a nice place and drive nice cars and have staff and TJ probably does not have that and if Uncle Tito wants to come over and stay, then who is going to really care. The executors say the kids need a guardian. I'm just wondering if TJ is the right choice. The last thing these kids need is more drama.

ReplyDeleteAll three kids have to agree (they have) and a judge has to allow it for TJ to be guardian. He's married with his own career, so he might not be as fucked up as the other Jacksons.
ReplyDeleteJackie and Marlon have also stepped back so now it's just Randy, Jermaine and Janet. Kind of fucked up that LaToya turns out to be the sane one.
Mama nooooo!
ReplyDeleteJanet was always my fav. I dug her awesome curves and the way she owned her sexuality.
But then again I may be biased because Poetic Justice was my fav movie as a teenager. Her and Tupac should have seriously had children together, ohmigosh.
But I digress.
My point is that this one hurts. I wrote off the other weirdo Jackson siblings sometime between Jermaine's first plastic hair sitch and LaToya's (I just cant with that name) soft core porn where she drinks milk and rides a horse (YES, I didnt rent it because my bff and I needed a good laught that day and it was AMAZING. Go rent that piece of fantasticness.)
But my girl Janet, I had hope for. Alas, evil grinch grandpa Jackson ruined that one for me too. dammit
Doesn't Janet have her own money? Not sure about this TJ character...he was endorsed by a Kardashian. Bleh.
ReplyDelete*I DID rent it, not didnt.
ReplyDelete*By rides a horse I mean in the most normal way possible. NOT that kind of porn (nor would I have watched something like that.) yuck
But seriously, girl was full on drinking milk and riding a horse. AT THE SAME TIME. It was magic
Yeah why would Janet be fighting...she has enough $ to take care of all of them. Something isn't adding up! As a huge MJ fan I doubt he is happy about this!
ReplyDeleteYeah why would Janet be fighting...she has enough $ to take care of all of them. Something isn't adding up! As a huge MJ fan I doubt he is happy about this!
ReplyDeletePersonally I think no one named Jackson should be guardian....but it's not my decision.
ReplyDeleteMoney Money so I guess we now know why Michael didn't name Janet, he knew something we didn't know.
What a pack of vultures.
I hate that this is happening to those little kids. They didn't ask for this, Michael tried to shield them from his crazy-ass family and now they are being pulled from all sides, just because they hold the cash.
ReplyDeleteI hope a neutral (i.e. high powered lawyer) can get a hold on this before those kids are locked in a dungeon and all their money is spent.
what kind of fuckery happened, when LaToya is the sane one? WTF?!?!?
ReplyDeleteGet Detective LaToya on the case of what happened to Grandma Katherine!
I am soooooo suspicious of ANY of those cousins or ANY Jackson becoming their guardian but I guess it's gotta be someone... man, I bet those kids can't wait to be 16 or whatever the minimum age for emancipation is.
That will be an interesting day. LOL!
It's being reported that Randy Jackson spoke to ABC News this morning and said their mother is on her way back to California.
ReplyDeleteMaybe this diabolical plot of theirs is falling apart. Maybe they've been shamed by all the negative publicity.
Did I miss it, or has LaToya not even spoken up yet? I wish no one would ever give the rest of that family another dime. Total scumbags. Those poor kids.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, where's Dexter when you need him?
ReplyDeleteAs for TJ - just having a Kardashian connection would eliminate him as far as I'm concerned. These kids need someone who has never even MET a Jackson, and doesn't want to.
Doesn't this feel like the Jackson siblings tried to pull some Scooby Doo scheme? Plotting for 3 years? Every time I read about the SUVs following (chasing) the SUV with the kids into the compound I picture the Scooby Doo mobile. Bc they were too dumb to not get caught on camera looking like jerks for attacking Paris.
ReplyDeleteI'm really hoping that since all three kids agreed on their cousin TJ that he's actually a good person. That he's married with kids and has a job is already a good sign.
ReplyDeleteLots of tidbits in yesterday's thread about this
ReplyDeleteThe Jackson Family Is Imploding
It's interesting just how stupid this family is. I wonder who masterminded this plan ?
ReplyDeleteDid they really believe the public would side with them ? And in this world of Facebook, Tweeting , cellphones, the internet, a silent takeover is just not possible.
Hopefully, this TJ will act in the best interests of the kids and not his pocketbook.
ReplyDeleteIn other news, the young lady abandoned by her mother in TN is going home to Illinois.
http://www.wbir.com/news/article/228081/2/Special-needs-woman-abandoned-at-TN-bar-will-return-to-Illinois
I am very disappointed in Janet. Not surprised about the rest.
ReplyDeleteI am very impressed by Paris' backbone; her speaking up. The name "Paris" might be salvaged after all.
(I think) Janet was arguing with her about the acting gig. Telling her she isn't old enough to be working and the girl sassed off.
ReplyDeleteYou know how teenagers can be. Then the girl was texting/twitting while Janet was talking. That would've gotten me slapped too as a teen. Who knows what that girl said to her to get her that angry...IJS
I'm not saying it was the right thing to do. IJS I was a teen my mom slapped me once. Years later, I know I deserved. I was being highly disrespectful. But I never acted like that again.
Randy's interview was strange. When GMA was finally able to hear him, he avoided answering Robin's questions and started talking about the will. *side eye*
ReplyDeleteUmm...Randy, you're mom's incognito and your underage niece and nephews have been guardian-free for over a week. This is not the time to talk about a will that doesn't name you as a benefactor.
Paris seems to have a good head on her, but she is still young, I hope TJ (who I never heard of before) will do good by them. He does seem to be the most stable.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe they kidnapped Katherine and then posted a pix of them all playing cards with her! They are truly delusional if they thought they could get away with it.
Paris said on Twitter that Janet only tried to take her phone and said she didn't slap her. I think Randy's the sole perpetrator of this whole thing because he hasn't made nearly as much as the others. He only joined the 5 because Jermaine left. I'm sorry but the grandmother should have never left. That was irresponsible. Those kids would be better off in the hands of Diana Ross (who their willed to when Katherine dies.) At least she has her own money and Michael trusted her. I agree with wtf is happening when La Toya is the sane one.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't this make you wonder if money is the only thing they're worried about? I wonder if they're also worried about keeping secrets within the family, and are worried about Paris becoming more prominent in the public eye... and what the public might find out from that. This just smacks to me of desperation and not just about money.
ReplyDeleteI gave Janet a lot more credit than this. Disappointing. I'm suddenly interested in anything Paris says or does. It's like she's 14 going on 40, and in a good way.
ReplyDeleteOh and where's Joe during all this? He's by far the worst but also shockingly quiet and absent.
ReplyDeleteThose kids really need to be far far away from the Jacksons. While they are living with the grandmother they will never have a normal life.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry but how did you know this. Did Paris say that this happened. Did you see this. This is serious and not some game. To say this without prof is so not like the old Enty. Unless you have video or Paris said so I'm not buying. Besides Janet has her own money, don't need the kids. Now the others, well.....
ReplyDeletetmz says it happened but paris denied it to a twitter follower
DeleteFor once, the power of the internet has been used for good. MISCH is right in that a silent takeover isn't possible any more; imagine how many stories we hear about old Hollywood coming to light now would have been blown sky high back in the old days with Facebook, Twitter, etc...
ReplyDeleteKim, tmz has a video of her in a confrontation but she doesn't slap her. Paris even said it didn't happen. But it's clear Janet was being aggressive with her. Watch it, it's horrifying.
ReplyDeleteNo matter how people felt about MJ, it's hard to hate Katherine and Paris. Seriously, plotters, pick better targets next time.
ReplyDeleteeven if the executors stepped down wouldn't the COURT appoint new executors? they aren't just going to give it to someone who doesn't know how to how to handle money and finances. do michael's siblings not understand this or is it just me?
ReplyDelete@kim, there is video of Janet attempting to steal Paris' cell phone from her hands, and she was part of the family posse that attempted to abduct MJ's children. I saw it on one of those TV celeb news shows. Her behavior in the past week has been aggressive and bizarre, so anything's possible at this point.
ReplyDeleteI think it's been said that Janet's exbpyfriens Jermain Dupry Could have run through a lot of her money and that could be why she is reaching her handout with the rest of the freeloading Jackson bunch. I feel like they think "we made Michael famous because of Jackson 5, without us! He would be nothing! Muhahaha"
ReplyDeleteIf all the attention had not suddenly been on them because of this, they might have gotten away with whatever diabolical plan they had for grandma.
Sad.
Dupry has his own money.....tons of his own money. That's one guy who ain't hurting for cash.
DeleteI think he filed for bankruptcy a while ago. And he may have lots of money compared to most people, I'm sure he can't keep up with the lifestyle he likes!
DeleteI'm beyond perplexed why Janet is involved in this. She's worth a couple hundred million. She's not broke, not close to it and isn't filing for bankruptcy. So, when she gets involved it makes me stop and question what actually is going on here, and if there actually is a real will and a fake will. She was the closest with MJ their entire lives. While Paris, and siblings, have been through so much, that little girl is far more sophisticated and cunning than she seems to let on. I think her grandmother is fine and those kids knew that she was going out of town and they were going to join her, then they turned it into a media blitz. Come on! CPS would have been all over that if they were in actual danger or abandoned.
ReplyDeleteYou should check out Roger Friedman's showbiz411.com - he has some interesting facts about this crazy story (in general) and Randy (in particular). He's always reporting on the Jacksons.
ReplyDeletewhat a clusterfuck. :(
ReplyDeleteWither Rebbie???
ReplyDeleteAnd hell. I hate to say it but maybe Debbie Rowe needs to take the kids
Jermaine made A LOT of money as a producer. Just because he wasn't largely in the spotlight doesn't mean he wasn't well off. It's kind of like Pharell or Timbaland- they may only make a couple singles, but they have their hands in a lot of other artists albums.
ReplyDeleteWhat gets me is how Janet and one of her brothers are recording Paris with their cellphones, like Paris is doing something wrong. That's an intimidation tactic and is really immature since THEY are the adults. I don't care how smart mouthed Paris may have been acting, or not, she's a 14 year old. Are we supposed too be horrified at the video of Paris trying to stop them from taking her phone? Or shocked that she's telling them off?
ReplyDeleteJanet needs to drop this crap and go eat a Twinkie.
@Surfer, good referral. Gives a lot of info!
ReplyDeletePopcorn machine standby alert: (Just in)
ReplyDelete"Lawyers for TJ Jackson are at an L.A. courthouse right now in an attempt to get temporary guardianship of Michael Jackson's three kids ... TMZ has learned.
In addition, lawyers for the Michael Jackson estate are in court and will support TJ's bid to become temporary guardian."
Cassidy - Jermaine does not have money. His mother had to go to the executors and request money to pay off Jermaine's huge debt to his ex for back child support (apparently last year when he was in Africa, the US wouldn't let him return until the debt was settled). They are ALL leeches.
ReplyDeleteAnd for those who don't know or don't remember - Randy was not part of the Jackson 5, ever. He's a huge troublemaker.
No, not Jermaine Jackson; Jermaine Dupry. Jermaine Jackson is a leech. Dupry is a very successful producer.
DeleteThe US wouldn't refuse entrance into the country because of child support. Usually, that's a good indication of a BS story. The just is worth about 9 figures
DeleteAnd Randy was apart of the Jackson 5. Just at the very end when they lost their luster and heat.
DeleteSorry, I'm referring to Dupry as well
DeleteAmy, Rebbie was in AZ with Katherine. I think she was the one that took her down there. At the beginning of all this, the only one not involved was LaToya. Now it's all falling apart because Tito, Marlon, and Jackie have come to their senses.
ReplyDeletehave marlon & jackie really been involved in this like janet, rebbie, tito, randy & jermaine though? they didn't sign that letter asking for the executors to step down and along with latoya i thought they've been pretty quiet
DeleteDidn't Randy have a huge drug problem for years?
ReplyDeleteParis, come with your brothers, and live with me in michigan. God, I have never wanted to take kids away from their family as much I want to with these.
ReplyDeleteYou can go to the school that's right in front of our house and then you can go to my old high school. They're snobs, but they're nice.
Name me your guardian, and I can assure you, I will not take your money. As much money as I owe, I do not take what is not mine.
Has it crossed anyone's minds that it could be the executors who area trying to steal the money and not family? Who do you think released the surveillance footage? Surely not the Jacksons. it's easier to make them look villainous than it is a faceless 'executor'.
ReplyDeleteAnd no where do you see Janet slap Paris. Paris has been airing out family business in public forums, that is cause to try and take a phone away. I'm not sure why that is so disconcerting.
I hope that at least one of those children gets a really sound education. All that money and no sibling ever said to MJ, hey will you send me to college so I can learn something and maybe help out? Lazy and greedy, hope they get somebody decent in their lives.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to wonder if this was a ploy to have guardianship changed to make it easier to have the probate judge review the allegations of fraud with the will.
ReplyDeleteIf so.....well played.
The entire Jackson family are a bunch of crooks and grifters, _including_ Katherine and Joe. If you want an eye openers, do some research - including court case lookups - on all the legal trouble the family has caused. They've been sued right, left, and sideways for swindling people. Joe and Katherine's specialty was to travel around implying that they could and would represent Michael and would promise concerts and endorsements by him. They'd have all their expenses paid by the suckers, who'd sign contracts and give them advances that they'd spend. Then surprise, surprise - no Michael, because they weren't his legal representatives. Then the lawsuits and court judgments would come, but the whole family had lots of practice at evading judgments.
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't surprise me one bit if Katherine was willing to go along with a scheme to get as much of the money as possible into her family's hands, because, face it: that family doesn't believe those kids are Jacksons. Michael always said he'd never have kids, and he bought these. With what his family knows, they probably all believe they are his rightful heirs and the kids are not.
As for Janet's alleged millions - don't assume she made that much or hung on to that much. She made money when she toured, but she hasn't got much royalty income. Her records no longer sell and she's no longer a big concert draw. She's undoubtably been spending more than she earns. I'm sure Janet could use some cash, too.
And again: the Jacksons feel entitled to the money. Michael was part of their family, where these kids never were. Almost certainly not biologically, and Michael kept his family away from the kids as long as he was alive. There's no sense of kinship there.
The surveillance video was from the security camera and came from the nephew that legally lives there. The executors and the will have been vetted.The guardian ad litem for the children is one of the best in the state. Michael's previous will also leaves his siblings out.
ReplyDeleteJennifer, Marlon had signed it and then took it back. TMZ has a kinds of coverage on this drama.
ReplyDeleteWhocares, what would be the point? The previous will also left out all his siblings.
Wow. This whole affair is just so sad and unnecessary. Michael obviously did not trust his siblings and now the whole world knows why. Those poor kids.
ReplyDeleteOT I didn't think they were Michael's biological children at first but Paris and Blanket look so much like him now. Prince looks a lot like Corey Feldman to me.
For a Wed we've got some pretty interesting gossip this week!
ReplyDeleteOne more thing...I've always thought Janet was a fraud. When her Nasty album came out she said in an interview she had never had dance lessons. Bitch please....like Michael never showed her a fucking move.
ReplyDeleteUh, not having dance lessons was in reference to professional, paid for lessons.
DeleteIt didn't get much more professional than Michael Jackson.
DeleteVery well said, Squeezebox. And thanks, Agent**It.
ReplyDeleteThe siblings are doing this because they realize once Katherine dies, their chance to get money from MJ's estate dies with her. Everything goes to the children and I can't see the courts giving them custody of Prince, Paris, and Blanket.
ReplyDeleteThey're screwed. MJ left them out of every will he had, his kids don't trust them, and they had Momma Katherine in middle of all this mess. And it happened in front of the world. What little goodwill they had after MJ's death is long gone with this mess.
Does Blanket have a real name? I mean, seriously, Blanket? Can you imagine "And for the defense Your Honor, Blanket Jackson". Or "I'm referring you to Dr. Blanket Jackson for your neurosurgery"
ReplyDeleteI don't get HOW Janet can be money hungry? She's sold some records in her time. Toured Has a rich boyfriend. WTF?
ReplyDeleteI just saw the video. It looks like Randy and janet were smiling while recording Paris.
ReplyDeleteI think it's funny how Michael is being perceived as so normal now, like he was sane and solid. The man was a mess, just like the family. As for the rest of it, well, it's a family issue. Let them figure it out.
ReplyDeleteAlso, can you imagine your teenagers tweeting personal stuff about your family? Paris is acting like a spoiled brat, and should lose her phone privileges and be grounded.
Try growing up in that household where your childhood is taken away and you're treated as a meal ticket for 7 siblings and 2 parents and see how normal you turn out. You can't deny Michael loved his children immensely and I'm sure this family debacle was one of his worst nightmares.
Delete@SusanB, I believe he is Prince Michael the 2nd, but don't hold me to it.
ReplyDeleteMarlon and Tito are the nice brothers. If the kids want TJ as their guardian, then perhaps he should be. With that much money, who could you trust? Diana Ross? I was surprised that Janet would side with the sibs who want a piece of the MJ pie. She has her own money and is dating a billionaire, but it makes sense if she wants them all off her back, doesn't it? Jermaine and Randy wanted MJ's estate to pay their back-child support. That is really messed up. I loved the Jackson 5 growing up. It's really sad to see this sh*t. Those kids need an advocate and someone to protect them from their family.
ReplyDelete@Hollywood Dime- This was my thought as well. The Jackson's are the easy target because they're nuts and greedy, but that doesn't mean the executors shouldn't be questioned.
ReplyDelete@Squeezebox- Agree with you, except for the part of Katherine being a part of this ruse. It seems her children are taking advantage of an 82-year-old woman, who has her own shady history. K has done everything possible to grow Michael's money.
You echo my thoughts on Janet as well. There was a tour several years ago that was suddenly canceled. The rumor was that tickets weren't selling. She's no longer the star she was before, but I'm sure that hasn't stopped her from reining in her expenses.
One more thing about super rich families, is that NO amount of $$ is ever enough. It's naive to think that simply because some of them may earn a six figure salary or two million a year, that they'd be happy with that. No way! That's not how rich people think.
By the way, why hasn't their mother(s) stepped up since Michael died?
ReplyDeleteShe tried, the kids want nothing to do with their mother.
ReplyDeleteJanet is no longer the pop star she used to be. Living off royalties with the lifestyle she was used to, can't be enough.
ReplyDeleteJust because her boyfriend is s billionaire doesn't mean he's sharing his billions with her. Super rich people are stingy with their money. On the slim chance he's generous with her, maybe she's only with him for the money. Having access to MJ's money would give her the freedom to not rely on him for financial support. Money is power.
@Cassidy So? She's their mother. Doesn't she have the responsibility to step in to protect her children from this circus right now, whether they like it or not?
ReplyDeleteI mean, when I was a kid, I wanted Willie Wonka to adopt me, but I had to live with my parents instead.
No, she signed a no contact order. It's part of why they hate her and why she has to stay away. She got a massive settlement to have the kids and sign away the rights. That's why they hate her. She agreed to have them and give them up and be set for life. Blood means nothing in this world to some people. She couldve stuck around and still been well taken care of. No judge would take away rights from a capable and willing parent. She made her choice, the kids made their opinion. It's unfortunate but it's their reality.
DeleteThis whole scenario is really sad and unfortunate. So many bad intentions and ulterior motives. Having said that, Janet has her own money. Doesn't need Michael's. Paris is wrong for airing the family's dirty laundry on Twitter, and while I wouldn't call her a bitch, I would definitely say she needs to be reigned in by an authority figure. This is only a small part of the problem, of course, but there may not have been so much media attention on the family if Paris had kept the drama off the internet.
ReplyDeleteJJ has lost her mind up in here, up in here...
ReplyDeleteParis is smart. I would not be surprised if all this stuff she is airing out is to prepare for something that might happen later on.
ReplyDeleteUpdate, from TMZ:
ReplyDelete10:34 AM JUDGE BECKLOFF JUST MADE TJ THE TEMPORARY GUARDIAN AND SUSPENDED KATHERINE'S GUARDIANSHIP!
TJ was just named guardian
ReplyDeleteNext Tito Jr will be missing. Where the hell is Diana Ross isn't she next in line for the kids according to the will?
ReplyDeletewhy does this feel like invasion of the flacks?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if handling teenagers is too much for Katherine....
ReplyDeleteWonder if Paris got out of control a little bit and the family saw that as a way in.
Not sure about their motives though..but Janet is already super rick and her boyfriend is xtra rich.
I don't think, if there was a slap, that it was about money. Remember how concerned Janet was when she learned Paris got a movie role. I am sure in her youth Janet saw some of the best and the worst in the business and at her age, Paris may not be willing to listen to her aunt give her advice. Her need for fame, the Twitter account and taking everything to the news first rather than talk to her family, is very dangerous.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Janet had some valid points for being wary of Paris taking a movie. But its clear that those kids feel like there aren't a lot of adults they can trust in that family. You can't blame her for crying for help in the only way she can think of. Katherine was suppose to be the next adult they trusted most and even if she was taken w/o phone, she still should have found away. Those kids should be priority #1. thank god Tito jr. genuinely cares. They were saying during Mj's tribute concert how it was Tj making sure shoes were tied and they had eaten. To me that's someone that genuinely cares. I just hope those kids find the right home and never lose sight of the love their father had for them.
DeleteI don't see Paris acting as a spoiled little brat. I worry that if she hadn't said anything, that Katherine would still be in Arizona and the world would be none the wiser. Being only 14 years old with several aggressive and money hungry adults conspiring against you, you would fight back the fastest way you know how. Now while a non-celebrity adult would probably have gone to the police and gone the legal route, teens are going to gravitate towards the internet. I think there's far more at play here happening behind the scenes than we are yet aware of and I'm curious to see what comes out in the near future. We certainly haven't heard it all!
ReplyDeleteThere is NO way this is all over a movie roll.
ReplyDelete@ whocaresnow12
ReplyDeleteHis passport expired while he was in Africa and he couldn't get another one because of the non-payment of child support. These are tactics the gov't is using to try to force deadbeat parents to pay up. Same goes for the drivers license. In short, all gov't documents.
@Chilie: I had forgotten that part - thanks.
ReplyDeleteInteresting fact: Here in Canada, they won't let you travel if your passport is set to expire in less than six months. You MUST renew it beforehand.
I swear the only person I would trust to take care of these children at this point is Oprah. She has more money than God. Then again, its being sucked up by her failing network, so she might get greedy too.
ReplyDeleteJanet, do what everyone else does and get a 30 day gig in Vegas. That will give you an indication of just how popular you are and how much money you can still make, if you're interested. Something tells me Janet doesn't really want to deal with putting on tour, getting dancers, rehearsing, all that stuff again. She probably thinks it's too much work.
I'm glad I read comments. Thanks Agent.... was wondering about guardian ad litem. :) They need to separate their financial interests from physical custody issues.
ReplyDeleteWhether Paris needs to be "reined" in or not is most certainly debatable. Nonetheless, her aunts and uncles are NOT the ones to do it. They are NOT those kids' guardians and have no more legal standing than the next door neighbors to "rein" them in.
ReplyDeleteThis is about money.
One of the brothers admitted that this scheme has been planned ever since Michael died and the will was read.
ohhh helll no. I'm about to catch a damn case! Someone show me where this Janet bitch lives and let her try to slap a grown-ass woman! 'scuse me while I brush up on my face slapping and hair pulling skills, I gotta Jackson to take down...
ReplyDeleteNow TMZ is saying Katherine called the house sounding drugged and incoherent demanding the security be fired and replaced with Janet's security.
ReplyDeleteDamn, if true - there really need to be some criminal charges filed.
Jermaine Dupree did earn a lot of money. Unfortunately for him, he spent more than he earned and he's ass out and broke. Janet still has plenty of money, not to mention that gorgeous Arab billionaire she's been dating for years.
ReplyDeleteSomething else is going on here and I wonder if the family feels resentful that these white kids who aren't even biological Jacksons (surely, they know the truth) are getting all of the money. But if it's what Michael wanted, so be it.Respect his wishes.
And I read that Jermaine and Randy want Michael's estate to pay THEIR child support?! Seriously?! These people are unreal!
ReplyDeleteCan someone tell me who Trent is? Randy said Katherine fired him and the security guards last night, is Trent the boss of the security guards?
ReplyDeleteI thought this kind of circus would happen right after Michael died but they are just getting around to it.
ReplyDeleteI am glad they waited so that the kids had time to heal and get stronger and more independent--when he first died they were so shocked and sheltered.
I am proud as heck of Paris and I always love it when a princess saves her own damn self without needing a Prince to rescue her. She's done all the right things and things are so public now I think the kids will be ok. If the TJ thing doesn't work out, She can raise a flag --but I figure the world is watching now--he probably will keep it legal.
I just hope the stress all this has caused doesn't kill Katherine.
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteNow Katherine is saying she just needed a break. Read the TMZ article. After what somebody said about her and Joe being essentially grifters back in the day, I'm starting to think she's in on it.
ReplyDeleteThose poor kids. Team Paris!
Insider scoop I heard today: Paris is so naive she also thinks Michael didn't have a drug problem. She's a sitting duck if someone doesn't protect her.
ReplyDeletePerson I talked to doesn't trust TJ. Thinks there is some deal making going on with the executors and TJ and everybody is going to laugh all the way to the bank.
Any way you look at it, whole lot of crazy going on. Poor kids.
Katherine is on her way back to LA and Joe just drove up to the house a little while ago.
ReplyDeleteKatherine is opposed to TJ being guardian.
We need live feeds of the Jackson house like Big Brother.
@KittensRUs
ReplyDeleteParis Jackson tweeted "the same doctor that testified on behalf of dr murray saying my father was a drug addict (a lie) is caring for my grandmother... just saying" on July 22nd. So I wouldn't call that insider information.
So Katherine is now granting tv interviews but couldn't be bothered to pick up the phone to call and check up on the kids. Janet and her brothers want to take the phone away from the kids because their ratchet plans are being exposed. Paris posted on her instagram that there was no slapping incident. She since deleted that post though.But it's clear there is some form of coercion and bullying. And how sick to see that Randy and Janetare taking pics/video on their cellphones. They'll probably edit that and show it to their mom.The latest Katherine interview looks so rehearsed and she was reading from a notebook with her grownup kids surrounding. I won't be surprised if they drugged her.Something is not right.I like they chose TJ Randy is already going after him on twitter today and from Katherine's interview she seems to be taking the side of Randy and co. He's still a young man.I hope he's strong enough to stand up against his lying and conniving aunts and uncle.
ReplyDeleteDon't look for LaToya. She probably made the sanest decision in her life not to get involved in this. She may be considered crazy but she's not lazy compared to her deadbeat dad brothers. She got legitimate gigs and earning her own money.She has all these little projects, tv appearances on reality tv shows and whatnot lol.
ReplyDeleteI think Janet joined this because if they get control of the money. Her brothers wont hound her for money like they did to Michael when he was still alive.
@ Elizabeth - I heard Trent is related to Joe Jackson - a nephew, maybe. Don't know if that's accurate though.
ReplyDeleteTrent is Joe's cousin and was actually hired by Michael to look after his mom.What I don't understand is if they think Trent can't be trusted to be around Katherine, why leave him with the kids for more than a week. Randy, Janet, Jermaine and Rebbie's evil plan backfired on them.Now they are now parading their mom for tv interviews to cover their asses. They will drive their mom to the grave with what they're doing.
ReplyDeleteSo Trent and the security guards were hired to protect the kids and these guys are trying to get their mom to fire them? Including the cousin? This is so over the top it's hard to believe they can't see how shameless it looks to everyone. I was shocked to hear Al Sharpton talking to Randy as if he bought the story.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks so much Surfer and Chismosa for explaining who Trent was, I couldn't find it anywhere.
Chismosa - that was not an "interview." She read from a prepared statement (and took no questions); just like a hostage.
ReplyDelete@surfer- ikr and there are goons standing right behind her, just in case she pulls a fast one on them.poor woman.and have you noticed jermaine's manboobs tho? lol
ReplyDeleteGood thing Michael took the time to legally specify who he wanted his beneficiaries to be and who didn't get squat, not once but twice. Both his initial will and subsequent updated one are identical in that regard. Had there only ever been one will, I think MJ's kids would have been in for the legal fight of their lives with his siblings to receive anything at all.
ReplyDeleteI watched an in depth examination of this story on HLN last night. It seems that Randy instigated the plot, Jermaine quickly jumped on board with it, and then the two of them talked Janet, Rebbie, and any others involved into joining.
As for motive, the impression I got is it was a behind the scenes power struggle for control over MJ's children, because whoever controls them, also controls the money they receive from Michael's estate.
The guardian gets $70,000 a MONTH to take care of 3 kids. I'm sure they have to do some accounting but that would support a LOT of Jacksons.
