I have to say that I expect this kind of nonsense from any of the Jackson 5, or even LaToya, but not Janet Jackson. Two years ago, three of the brothers, Janet and Rebbie all claimed that Michael's will was fake and that he wanted everything to go to all of his family and not just his kids and mom. Yeah, that's what he was thinking. He barely talked to any of them for years but he decided they were the ones he wanted to give his money to. Two years ago they lost every step of the way, but now they are back. back because they can't figure out a way to make money without getting a job. I think that Janet is helping them because she is the only other Jackson that has money and doesn't want to keep giving every other member of the family money for the rest of their lives and calculated this would be the cheaper option. Have any of these people just thought about going out and getting a job? I have never seen people work so hard at trying to do nothing to make money. I feel like this is going to be every member of N'Sync except Justin Timberlake in a few years.
Lets all pray for Katherine's health and that the kids reach maturity before their aunt's and uncles can get their grubby hands on any of Michael's money.
ReplyDeleteParasites...all of them.
DeleteYes I saw this and was totally disgusted. I agree Janet must be in on this because she is tired of being the bread winner for this family of bums. Especially without a record deal and no other income besides residuals and royalties from publishing. Too bad they could not have taken Neverland and made it like Graceland, that could have been lucrative for them.
ReplyDeleteHave mercy. I hate to say it, but these people are leeches. Just looking to bleed Michael's estate dry. It's downright pitiful. They mooched off him while he was alive, so to expect some decorum in death is too much, I guess.
ReplyDeleteWhy can't they take a hint? MJ left 20% to charity, and the rest to his mother and children. That's it. If that isn't an EFF YOU notice, nothing is.
Hopefully, the executors can keep the vultures at bay, at least until Prince I and Paris are of age. I can't wait for Paris to turn 18. She is going to put all of the Jacksons in their place. That girl has a great BS detector already. She's already sending them warning shots. TEAM PARIS, FTW!
Because a man leaving his entire estate to his children and their guardian (in this case his mother) is such an unusual act. Why, doesn't everyone include all their siblings in their will too? And treat those sibiling as equals to the children?
ReplyDeletePlease bitches. Just shut up and sit down.
Hope she gets declared an emancipated minor when she's 16.Hope one of those kids gets a really good education. I'm very hopeful, apparently.
ReplyDeletewouldn't it be more unusual for adult siblings to get along so closely that they include the others in their wills? Doesn't the likelihood go down as the # of siblings increase that all are friendly towards each other?
ReplyDeleteWhat Patty said
this family makes me snort flames. (except Janet, she seems the most 'normal' if that's possible in this family).
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for those kids. Michael tried to keep them from his family, and now we see why. He had is own issues, sure, but those kids seem pretty normal considering how they were raised.
I hope Janet, or someone can protect them so they don't end up with no money in the future. Cause the rest of that family will suck every dollar dry.

ReplyDeleteMy siblings are in my will...i have a lot of them. We're all in each other's wills.
ReplyDeleteI am the primary beneficiary for my sister, Stephanie, too.
I'm not saying that it's super common, but it happens.
It's worth noting that in the event of his mother's death prior to the kids being grown, MJ left Diana Ross as the alternate guardian. He didn't trust his siblings with his children. That speaks volumes.
ReplyDeleteMy siblings and I get along fine, but we're not in each other's wills. I don't have kids, so other than my husband, my niece and nephews will inherit from me. Not their parents.
ReplyDeleteMJ gave his siblings a ton of money when he was alive. If they squandered it, too bad for them.
ReplyDelete@SusanB, the rate we're going at these days($$) we'll be lucky if we have anything at the end of our run! Unless we move to Ecuador..
If they all had clear heads and a good business sense instead of acting like vultures, MJ could be making more bank for them dead like Elvis has.
ReplyDeleteI am not surprised this is happening at all.
Wow..
ReplyDeleteJust wow.
His family should be ashamed of themselves for going agains MJ's final wishes. God, please look out for Ms. Katherine & those children.
ReplyDeleteJanet has to stop right where she is in helping them. She doesn't think they're gonna do the same when she dies?
ReplyDeleteIt seems that Paris has seen exactly what the family had done to her father while he was alive and will be super smart to put a stop to it once she turns 18. Only 4 more years Paris! Keep your chin up.
Ditto. How old is the oldest kid? I pray Katherine makes it until he is of age and he can make decisions for himself and the 2 younger ones, altho I have the most faith in Paris of any of them--she has the spark....
ReplyDeleteVery disappointed in Janet--I thought she would be the one to stand up for the kids over all this and help her mother.
The worst part about this is that they are actually trying to take money from children. That's pretty low.
ReplyDeleteWhoa Basil you just nailed it.
ReplyDeleteThey said they think " the lawyers are conspiring to make money for their mother, and manipulating things to benefit her and the children. And the mother cant deal because she had a stroke.". Do these leeches even f*cking HEAR themselves and the idiocy spewing from their pieholes????? Ugh, disgusting they are.
ReplyDeleteHis brothers are deadbeat dads and wife beaters. MJ financially supported his mom, nieces and nephews while he was alive.Alejandra, wife of Randy cheated on him with Jermaine and they had kids. Jermaine and Randy's kids are cousins/siblings, how sick is that? These all happened while they were all living in one roof in their former house at Hayvenhurst. That's probably the reason MJ bought Neverland and moved out without telling any members of his family. People think MJ was the weirdest in the family when in reality he probably is the normal one. Randy in my opinion is the weirdo. Enty, have you heard about the Tina Turner incident with Randy. You should do a piece on that.
ReplyDeleteWhat Tina Turner incident with Randy? I hope the story ends with Tina kicking someone in the balls.
ReplyDelete@Basil Randy confirmed over twitter that he was indeed shot on the foot by Tina and bragging he's got the scars to prove it. But what he didn't mention is the reason why he got shot.
ReplyDeleteIt happened in the early 80's. Tina's assistant mentioned the incident in her book. This is the most detailed link I could find online www.lipstickalley.com/f227/tina-turner-confronted-randy-gun-98-book-269137/
@chismosa Street. Thank you for the link. I love Tina, and now I love her even more. She never mentioned this incident in her autobiography, and at the time she "wrote" it must have been only a few years after this incident. I'll have to check again. Nice to know that Randy was the one that started those Tina is a Lesbian rumours, which absolutely no one believed at the time.
ReplyDeleteI want to add something else. Both Jermaine and Latoya were on the British version of Celebrity Big Brother a few years ago, but on different seasons. Jermaine came across as very nice and level headed on his season, and he had some real doozies to deal with in that house. But he kept his cool the entire time, which I think would be very hard to do.
ReplyDeleteLatoya was on the year after. She told some tales of her time with that guy who forced her to marry him and it sounded harrowing. She was basically this guys slave and when she got techy he would beat the shit out of her, once to the point where she had to cover her face, and he told the tabloids it was because she had plastic surgery. Very sad, but she became an extremely popular housemate on the show and was the only celebrity to get resounding cheers when she was evicted from the house.
Anyway, that's my contribution. Sorry to blether so much.
In the late '80s one of my friends worked for one of the accounting firms which handled Michael Jackson's money. At the time he said that Jackson was fast heading toward bankruptcy because of all the monetary demands of his family.
ReplyDeleteThey were bleeding him dry then - why should they stop now that he's dead?
From TMZ last night:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.tmz.com/2012/07/22/katherine-jackson-missing/
Thanks for the link car54. Oh dear. Sounds to me like the family is going to declare gramma incompetent. Those 3 kids are going to end up with an empty bank account and there is damned all they can do about it because of their age.
ReplyDeleteMark my words, someone in that family is going to insist on a DNA test of the children.
Yeah. Things are starting to get very strange. I suspect Katherine HAS had a stroke, but Paris hasn't been kept in the loop. She is only 14, AND MJ'S kid, so she's never lived a "normal" life. I could understand the family not wanting their mother's health crisis to be front page news.
ReplyDeleteSo, yeah. I think there's more to the story than just greedy siblings. I think their mother is dying, and they want to be sure the Estate doesn't screw the kids out of their inheritance. Lord knows it's been done before. (Hello, Gary Coleman? Doris Day?)
CNN just had a short piece on it--Jermaine tweeted that Katherine is "resting" in Arizona on dr's orders.
ReplyDeleteThen why not let the kids or the nephew that reported her missing know and speak with her on the phone? Very strange.
If she's their guardian, how did she "go missing" after a week? Something tells me those kids don't exactly have dinner with grandma every night.
ReplyDeleteI don't know. The more I think about this family, the weirder I think they are. I think I'm just going to pretend they don't exist, and slap on some old Jackson 5 to remember the good times we had.
Lalalala...
