We haven’t covered this story yet as it’s complicated, there are a lot of different versions floating around, and I was hoping it would be resolved without incident. Not so much. As you may have heard over the weekend, Michael Jackson’s mom Katherine, 82, went “missing” for over a week. Katherine is the primary caregiver for Michael’s three children: Prince, 15, Paris, 14, and Blanket, 10. A missing person’s report was filed on Katherine, an investigation ensued and has since been closed. Jermaine issued a statement that Katherine was resting in Arizona with her daughter, Rebbie, “following doctor’s orders to rest-up and de-stress, away from phones and computers.” Paris tweeted late Monday that she hadn’t spoken to her grandmother in 8 days and that “something is really off , this isn’t like her at all.”
Radar claims that the idea to whisk Katherine off for a week at “a spa” was Janet’s idea, who felt that the situation at home was too stressful for Katherine. TMZ confirms that the “chaos” at the house led to Katherine’s removal, but more than that Michael’s siblings want to challenge his will, which leaves 20% to Katherine and virtually nothing to them. E! has an article outlining all that’s at stake in this, and what would happen if Katherine was removed as the children’s guardian.
Meanwhile Michael’s children have a security team and are being cared for by a nanny. On Monday Jermaine, Randy and Janet went to Katherine’s Calabasas home in an attempt to remove the children, but security guards blocked them, Prince refused to go and the cops were called. The kids still haven’t spoken to their grandmother, according to Paris’ most recent tweets. However, paparazzi agency X17 claims that the children knew Katherine was leaving. They also have a photo of her playing Uno with family. Here’s more on the latest, thanks to Radar:
Jermaine, Randy and Janet Jackson have been barred from their mother Katherine’s Calabasas home after attempting to remove their brother Michael’s three children from the house on Monday, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
The situation adds to the ongoing drama with the Jackson family, as Katherine has been in Arizona for more than a week and hasn’t spoken to her grandchildren, of whom she is the legal guardian. “It was just total chaos when Jermaine, Randy and Janet descended on the house.
“Randy was telling Prince Michael he had to leave with them and that he had a private jet chartered to take them all to Arizona to see Katherine. Prince firmly held his ground and told Randy he wasn’t going anywhere with them. The security detail prevented the three of them from taking the kids out of state. The cops had to be called and Janet kept saying they had a legal right to be at the house when in fact they don’t. The rental house is in the name of Michael Jackson’s estate, so they were told to leave immediately. For the time being, they won’t be allowed to come back to the rental house and guards at the security gate have been told under no circumstances are they to allow them in. Paris was absolutely hysterical and kept telling her uncles to just bring her grandmother home,” a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com.
“The plan to take the kids out of the house was going to be a publicity stunt. The kids were going to be paraded into the house in Arizona where Katherine is staying and those photos would be published on a website favored by Randy Jackson.”
As previously reported Janet was behind Katherine’s removal from her home to Arizona, after becoming adamant that her mom needed bed rest and to be checked out by an independent doctor. And a source has revealed that Katherine is doing just fine.
“Katherine is very well,” a family member told RadarOnline.com. “Janet was behind the whole thing – she felt that Katherine needed medical help and was desperate for her to get some bed rest.”
“Michael’s children are being cared for by their nanny and legal options are being explored about ensuring their safety. The children are very, very smart and they are surrounded by excellent bodyguards that won’t allow anything unsavory to happen to them. The kids just want their grandmother back, and want the family drama to end. Now that Paris and Prince are old enough, they understand why Michael didn’t have much of a relationship with anyone in the family except for Katherine,” the source says.

What a mess this is, and how unfair it is to the kids. They lost their dad, and now their aunts and uncles are trying to take their grandmother from them in order to get their mitts on their late dad’s money. They’ve been placed in a very tough spot, and good for them for standing their ground. From the interviews I’ve seen with Paris, she comes across as very mature and even humble. I hope those kids stick together and refuse to be manipulated. They should inherit their dad’s money as he intended, but obviously their relatives want it for themselves.
As for Katherine’s health, she was at “a spa” not a hospital. Paris tweeted some insight about her grandmother’s condition. “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.” What kind of doctor cuts their patient off from a phone or Internet for over a week? Who prevents their own mother from contacting the kids she’s supposed to be caring for? Maybe I’m wrong, maybe there’s more going on behind the scenes than we know, but it looks like a money grab from here.

This family is seriously messed up.
Word.
Leave her alone. She went to Jehovah’s Witnesses convention.
I am really surprised Janet is involved in this, unless there is something huge yet to be uncovered.
Also, anybody left that thinks Michael WASN’T a drug addict, is delusional as all getout. Don’t know what to think about Paris.
Well the executors are going to seek guardianship of kids they think Katherine was kidnapped according to TMZ
I think its telling that Latoya is not involved. She seems to be the only sibling who Michael was close to and has made no real attempt to interfere with his will.
Paris daughters unconditional love. Tito ‘s son TJ seeking temporary guardianship, kids approve according TMZ
To say the least. There is definitely something off here with Katherine not speaking to kids directly.
It would seem to me Katherine may be being told the kids are fine and Janet, Rebbie or whoever, is in touch with the kids to make sure everything is going OK while she rests up. Which is obviously not true if that is what Katherine is being told.
I just don’t see Katherine staying incommunicado where the kids are concerned if she weren’t being assured they were OK, fully informed and down with her not speaking with them right now.
Unless Katherine has a health issue that is affecting her ability to understand what has happened, confusion and/or forgetfulness.
Trying to raise three children, two of which are teenagers, at the age of 82 has got to be incredibly difficult. It is also very sad that the kids evidently don’t trust their own aunts and uncles.
Something is also weird with the will thing. I have read several times that voiding the last will will not make it possible for the siblings to inherit any money because the will before that also excludes the siblings. If everyone else knows that, why doesn’t MJ’s brothers and sisters? I think there is more to this than meets the eye of the media.
I have serious concerns about the legal guardian leaving the kids alone for 8 days. That just isn’t responsible or considerate.
I tend to trust Janet, because she is the most finanically independant of all of the family members. I worry for Paris because she seems strong willed, but I think she could be easily manipulated because of her blinding love for her dad. It is understandable, but she isn’t looking at the situation from an unbiased adult perspective.
I feel like Janet is the only one in the family who could possibly be detached enough to asses the situation. She’s got plenty of her own money as opposed to say Tito or Jermaine who quite obviously are useless.
Unfortunately Katherine is way to elderly to be caring for these kids. GIve them to Janet.
word.
that should be the next move, I agree.
Janet also signed the letter the brothers wrote to challenge the will.
She was also with her brothers when they attempted to remove the children from their home.
I used to think Janet was the only normal one. But after seeing her actions this weekend. She is just as worse as her family.
Those kids truly have nobody.
It’s so sad.
It seems to me there was a story where Jermaine or Randy’s kids were living with Katherine too (in Michael’s house after his death) for a time, and bullying Michael’s kids.
Katherine lived with the abusive Joe forever; I get the impression that she just goes with the flow…. and does not necessarily do what is in the best interest of Michael’s kids, but that she was the best (least toxic) option for guardian.
ITA
At first I felt that they maybe had a chance if Janet was still in the picture but if you think about it she signed the letter and per this story “she was behind the whole thing”. I think she has money and wants to keep some of it. Her siblings have been mooching off both her and Michael for years. She might think she hasn’t had a hit in years the money is dwindeling and it would be better for her if her siblings would go mooch off her dead brothers estate and leave her alone. I’m also amazed she was photo’d on a yaht with her billionaire boyfriend last week while all this is supposedly going down. I don’t think Michael trusted any family members except his Mom and now we know why.
I do estate planning work. That Will leaves MUCH to be desired. It reflects the psycho and idealistic leanings of its maker. For starters, Diana Ross is an old lady now, no more able to care for three growing kids than Katherine, and was said to be blindsided by the proposal that she take the kids. I haven’t checked on any recent developments but Michael did not have a clue how to handle money, or his estate.
Also, leaving Katherine to make decisions is extremely foolhardy. Letting so many cousins live in the ex family home, unsupervised it sounds (and looks) like (I saw an Oprah special or two that left me gobsmacked), has led to the bullying and them getting in trouble, playing with guns, etc. Why was the grandmother forced to raise several kids?? – this is effed up.
And don’t get me started on Jermaine’s kids being named stuff like “Jermagesty”. This is a telling byproduct of egotistic weirdness.
Supposedly Janet is cash-poor now because that guy Jermaine DuPree (sp) ran through all her money while they were together.
Janet was right there with the two brothers, trying to take the kids.
Michael made his mother guardian, and Diana Ross as the back-up guardian—NOT any of his siblings. He knew not to trust them, and that were just trying to get more money from him.
How dare they traumatize those poor kids. This is awful!
Janet better take her ass on tour if need money.
In that case, it might be time to contact Diana Ross. She may be wacky, but her kids seem all right.
Janet and siblings didn’t come to see the kids or take control of them until all this hit the media. That in itself was poor judgment, to leave those kids in the care of a nanny and body guards. I am beginning to think nobody in that family knows how to raise kids, even the ones with kids.
can I ask where you heard that? I’m just wondering because Dupri was/is pretty huge. As far as I know he never needed Janet’s money cause he had plenty of his own..
“Supposedly Janet is cash-poor now because that guy Jermaine DuPree (sp) ran through all her money”
I doubt this entirely. 1st, both Janet and Dupri are writers. Janet has written 46 of her songs…that means a TON of money in publishing. Everytime one of her songs is played she gets paid, and probably at much higher rates than what artists make now days. Saying “all of her money” doesn’t take into account money that continues to come in every quarter. Plus, Dupri would have similar substantial income.
She might be foolish with her money, but I doubt she is broke. She doesn’t seem to spend like Michael.
I wish Diana Ross had gotten them immediately.
She’s further removed and knows better to deal with BS (both from Jackson siblings and teenagers) than this old lady, I think. She’s also a decade younger.
This is also a time when I miss Liz Taylor even more. She was a loving mother to her own kids, who would have done anything for Michael’s kids.
If all this is true, Janet is really disappointing me right now. And the fact that LaToya is not involved is even weirder.
LaToya could be somewhere writing another ‘tell-truth’ book to grab money-attention (riding her brother coat btw).
Janet is a Jack$on and signing the letter defaming M.J’s Executors makes her part of this whole debacle.
I think she joined the scam to keep them out of her wallet when Katherine croaks.
Why has CPS not gotten involved, did the Sherrif not notify them of what took place?
There was a physical altercation at the home of these 3 minors, when these non-custodial adults tried to take them out of state. Is that considered kidnapping and is that FBI territory?
I think the only sane one is Jackie and maybe Marlon. They both seem to stay out of the drama.
I think Rebbie is the best qualifiued to raise those children.
She has been married with the same guy since the age of 16, has been a mum for a long time, was never involved in some drama like the rest od them, is close to her own mum and always strike me as the least interested in money and fame.
Those kids should be raised equally by Rebbie and her mum, so that when Catherine won’t be able to, they would still have a guardian they are close to.
No, give them to Diana Ross as a backup Guardian. That’s what is in Michael Jackson’s will. That’s what he would have wanted.
I don’t trust the Jackson siblings one single bit, including Janet. Neither did Michael, which explains why he left them nothing. He was right!
No matter how you slice it…it’s the children who are suffering. so sad. 🙁
Absolutely, @vampi. I agree. I also think/wonder very much exactly how much Michael’s children actually mean to Katherine….other than THE FACT that there’s $$$ in it for her to “care for/love” and raise his children.
Another blogger mentioned they feel Katherine is too old to be raising these children, & I agree wholeheartedly.
I think Katherine has been at the center of this vortex of greed and one-upmanship of her own children…all wanting a shot at Michael’s $$$. I do think she’s (Katherine) VERY EXHAUSTED having to constantly deal w/the antics of this family, all making plays for Michael’s $$$.
Since it seems Katherine went along w/willingly to have a vacay…& I don’t doubt she certainly deserves it, but her actions do not ring true to me of someone who completely cares for and adores her grandchildren (Michael’s kids).
I just feel SO BAD for Michael’s children. IMO, this mess/fighting over who “really needs” Michael’s $$$ will NEVER GO AWAY.
Co-sign all that you said. Can you imagine being those kids, pulling into your driveway and having your aunt and uncles circumvent the security system by tailgating your car..then have them jumping outta their cars screaming and trying to grab cell phones? WTF?
I feel so badly for those children. I don’t care how mature they seem..this is just awful. Hopefully the executors will continue to keep the children’s welfare as the top priority.
Paris, honey, your dad *was* a drug addict.
he was her dad, I can’t blame her for thinking it’s a lie. It will take a lot of time for accepting this.
She may not be making the connection that he was addicted to prescription drugs, not street drugs. But yes, I do believe he was addicted to them and an accidental overdose caused his death.
I had to re-read that and I think the point Paris was trying to make is that the same doctor who said MJ was an addict as a defense of how Murray treated MJ is now treating Katherine. I sure as hell wouldn’t want a physician who defended another doc’s overt malpractice by, essentially, claiming the patient forced that doc to commit the malpractice to be the treating physician of anyone I love.
I see now. hmm. I’d be wanting a different doctor too, but I do think Paris is still in denial (but who can blame her, she’s still very young and traumatized by the whole thing and the whole crazy family).
Katherine isn’t missing. She’s with her daughter Rebbie in Arizona. The police came and interviewed her. So that ends that part of the story. The real issue is can she still care for the kids at her age and what is going on with Micheal’s siblings. I don’t know why they are contesting the will years later.
Why hasn’t she spoken to the kids she is legal guardian of for eight days? Something fishy.I’m glad they Have court appointed lawyer
leaving the children without so much as telling them what she’s doing (and Rebbie not telling them either) is abandonment – even if there is a nanny. If the kids didn’t know where she was or how to get in touch with her, then the nanny was probably as out of the loop as the kids were. It’s becoming obvious that those children are nothing but a meal ticket to their family (seriously, they’re blaming the executors of the estate for Katherine’s behavior/exhaustion?)
what a sick, sick family.
only a hard core drug addict like michael jackson would become a single father and then choose his elderly mother as guardian of the children.
so irresponsible.
I seem to remember that they were left in the care of the grandmother, and if she was unable to look after them, Diana Ross….does anyone remember that? Or was it tabloid BS??
If that is/was true, then clearly even in his drug addled mind, he didn’t trust his relatives except for Katheine.
I am surprised to hear that Janet is also contesting the will. Of all the siblings, she didn’t seem shady at all with regards her relationship with Michael. The others just seemed to ride his coat tails
You’re right, LAK. And Diana apparently is not too excited about having to take his kids on. And their biological mother isn’t too excited about the Jacksons raising them either. It’ll get uglier before it gets better.
Michael Jackson absolutely disgusted me on every level, but my understanding was he wanted to keep his kids out of show business until they were grown. He already was a very questionable parent, but when he left the kids to his mother, who is still married to his father – you know the man Michael has always said brutalized him while he was growing up – it just showed me how inept he really is. His mother never intervened in his beatings, how is she going to protect his kids? And back up guardian Diana Ross? What’s she supposed to do, challenge the Jackson family? Who was third in line? Elizabeth Taylor? Poor decision making from top to bottom.
I don’t think he had that many friends he could rely on this very delicate matter. So who was the best among the family for the kids? His mother.
And that’s it.
I think he did a pretty good job in raising the kids, and it show.
That he was a weirdo and a plastic surgery addict doesn’t mean he wasn’t a good parent.
Serena –
I didn’t want to say it but feel the need to defend my belief that Michael was a bad parent. First of all I believe he was a pedophile. But let’s not debate the point. People on both sides of that argument have very strong beliefs. Even if he did not molest those boys, he gave them alcohol and drugs.
But even if you discount this, you have a man who was bleaching Prince Michael I’s hair blonde when he was a little boy – to appear more caucasian some believe. The fact that he would cover their faces with masks and take them out in public causing a three ring circus. He created dangerous situations and had his children in the middle of a riot.
Not allowing his second son to have his own name and then nicknaming him Blanket “because he’s so soft” is so lame and suggests he was wasted when he named him. How about dangling Blanket over a balcony – an act that if a non celebrity had done the child would have been taken away.
He was overly reliant on Prince I to be an adult – when Michael was dying security was looking to Prince for guidance. He leaves his children essentially in the hands of his father knowing that his mother won’t protect them.
He was clearly on drugs while caring for the children and least some of the time. In the Martin Bashir interview Michael was attempting to feed Blanket while the poor baby had a heavy veil over his face and Michael was so manic bouncing him up and down that the baby was screaming.
He lies to his children and the world (and probably his family) in regards to their biological father, who clearly was not him. If the Jackson siblings fight dirty they may reveal this. I don’t believe a child has to be yours biologically but I think he has put his kids in a vulnerable situation. Their biological mother – who essentially sold them to Michael – can now step forward and claim them. That doesn’t count the sperm donor. With the Jacksons falling apart, the mother or father can swoop in and appear to be the only ones thinking of the children, when they’re really only thinking of the money.
He was so delusional that he had portraits throughout the house of Jesus – but with his own face. An act that is taboo for any Christian.
We don’t really know what the results of this parenting is since we really don’t know yet how the three kids will turn out. If they do well we can probably attribute that to the nannies and bodyguards.
Like everyone else I used to think Michael was a musical genius. I will not be blinded by his obvious God given talent, and ignoring the fact that a little boy was able to describe Michael’s penis in such acute detail to a sketch artist that was backed up by the pics of his genitals is simply saying poor children are free game to a predator. Every classical detail of grooming was followed to a T. Let’s also not forget that his own sister publicly stated that he was guilty until she returned to the Jackson fold and was re-doctrinated. You can make excuses until the cows come home but I want to know how many parents who post here would be ok with your son knowing intimate details of a man’s penis. There is no innocent explanation.
Agreed with you 100% about Michael essentially handing the children to Joe Jackson through his elderly mother, but Jordan Chandler was not able to describe his penis at all, in FACT, thats part of the reason Sneddon didn’t persue it. The marks including circ vs non-circ – none of them matched the photos. Jordan was way off. I do agree with you that Michael was a pedphile, I’ve felt that for a long long time. BUT, the fact is Chandler’s sketch did NOT match hence Tom Sneddon couldn’t build a case and it didn’t go to trial.
Well said. I agree with every word. If those kids turn out okay it will be *in spite* of MJ and the Jackson family.
Agreed. As I said earlier knowing that Katherine let Joe treat Michael and the boys the way he did for so long, let the abuse of the Jackson 5 (particularly Michael) happen and did nothing to stop it, I’m at a loss why Michael would even want his mother looking after those children, and with Joe at arms reach. MJ’s choice of his mother as guardian (when she couldn’t even be a good ‘guardian’ to Michael) is utterly bizarre. Putting aside Katherine being an enabler for the abuse to original Jackson children endured, assuming Katherine wasn’t an enabler and she was a good mom, its then selfish beyond belief to want a tired old lady who has done her fair share of raising, what, 9? 10? children to give up her retirement and endure raising 3 more. Shes done her part. The children should have gone to an aunt of even a close, respected family friend. Disregarding Katherine’s inability to stop her husband for exploiting and mistreating his children, it was selfish of Michael to do that to Katherine.
+, and mayamae’s comment as well. All of these people are not operating with what is within any sense of normal, responsible reality when it comes to the kids, starting from the very beginning.
If only people were able to just say NO to Michael, maybe things could’ve been different.
This story has taken another turn…
The police were called to the LA house because “detached Janet”, Randy and Jeremain tried to remove the 3 children from the home; to take them to see the Grandmother. The children refused to go with them and security was called. They (the MJ siblings) were told they had no legal right to be on the property nor to the kids, so they left. There was video/pictures of Janet and Jeremain arguing outside the home before leaving.
My question is how can Katherine not have physical/or verbal contact with children she is LEGALLY responsible for. how is it OK for her to be in Arizona without having told these children she was going or making some kind of arrangements for their care. If something happened to her. If this was anyone else the authorities would have arrested her for abandoning these children because that is what she in affect did. they said there were pictures of her playing cards with family, but she is suppose to be so in need of rest that she can’t call her grandkids and talk to them on the phone to ease their worry.
YEAH something is really off here and this is not good.
We have to consider Catherine is 82 years old, I don’t know how strong she is, or if she is still capable of understanding what’s going on.
yeah she is 82, but I have a grandmother who is 92 and her mind is working very well. Being 82 does not mean her mental capabilities are off. there are people way younger then her that have more serious issues. I think her children are trying to get the money. Money they couldn’t get from Michael and now they are doing whatever to make up for not being included in his will.
This is all about MONEY.
I hang out at my parents’ retirement village and am with many, many people in their 80s. None of them are fit to raise children. The uber sharp ones are very, very, VERY rare, and even those people are not fit to raise kids this age. In your 80s, your brain and body are well into declining, your mental faculties do suffer, and moms have to be on their toes because kids have access to things they’ve never even heard of.
I think Katherine’s kids are duping the hell out of her as well, or she’d be on the phone talking with Michael’s kids. Lord knows what they’re telling her.
Something is definitely fishy about the whole story. I don’t understand how, if Katherine just needed a vacation, the kids weren’t informed and why did Janet and her brothers show up to take the kids to K after 8 days without any communication and only after Paris tweeted about her gm missing and the police were involved? Why even take them anywhere? Why not just Skype or let them talk to her on the phone to reassure them everything was okay?
This family has been doing everything in its power to make as much money off MJ and the estate he left. They don’t care about the kids. All they care about is themselves, that’s clear.
They also love being in the headlines and relevent, stirring up stories about murder and fake wills and anything else they can think of. I’ll be glad when they finally slip away into oblivion and we don’t have to hear about them again.
Frankly, I don’t trust any of them to raise these kids and not steal from them, not even Janet after she signed her name to the latest thing contesting the will and calling it fake. Maybe the executors should hire some full time nannies/housekeepers to care for the kids and give them an independant guardian and legal counsel to watch over their best interests until they come of age.
And I just saw them all on Jimmy Fallon and surprise, surprise, The Jacksons have a new album out and a 2012 tour.
@mayamae Blankets name is Prince Michael Jackson .Prince ‘s name is Michael Joseph Jackson Jr Covering their faces allowed them anonymity when they went out without him. The jury didn’t believe he gave kids drugs and alcohol or molested them neither do I.We can agree _to disagree
So MJ named one of his sons after his abusive father, Joseph? Unresolved issues there…
the guy who was dining with monkeys, who had about 100 plastic surgeries and who had his skin whitened was the most normal guy in the family.
hilarious!
and where are Brooke Shields and Webster when you need them?
It’s a damn shame he couldn’t have left the children with Brooke. But the guy was way too drug-addled to think ahead at all, or maintain important friendships that would help the kids in future.
Poor kids. The entire family seems quite awful and only concerned about money, not the children’s well-being. Sad.
The Radio hosts in my town were talking about how the siblings who challenged the will may bring up that the kids aren’t biologically Michael’s children and therefore “Jackson money” should stay within the “blood family”. A caller said thats what happened when her father died because she was adopted and her siblings tried to get her cut out of the will.
They were talking about how it is the broke family members who are behind all of this and given their bankruptcies and lack of stable careers a judge will see right through it but it will get ugly. I feel bad for those kids, Michael really shielded them from the world and its all falling apart. As odd as he was, Michael was their stability. Given that the kids are preteens, a grandmother w/nannies would be fine to raise them.
I really hope that’s not true, whether they are biologically his or not, he loved them like they were.. That’s pathetic..
I’m adopted as well and luckily the legal system views it the same as biological parentage.
basically these kids were nearly “assaulted” (the security prevented them from taking the kids out of state!!!) by their relatives.
I don’t know what’s wrong with the Jackson family, but this kids seem smart enough to stay away from them.
So Katherine is not shilling out cash to the rest of the family and they’ve kidnapped her. Maybe they’re hoping to hasten her demise so one of them can work to be a guardian. I love that the kids wouldn’t let the money grubbers onto the estate.
I think it’s very telling that they wouldn’t go with Janet and her brothers. At Michael’s funeral they seemed close to Janet, but clearly stuff has happened since that has made them not trust Michael’s siblings and I can’t blame them. They were smart not to go and to force them to leave.
It kills me how they released a statement about Katherine basically implying that Paris blew this all out of proportion with her tweet and that it’s no big deal…but what kinds of aunts and uncles don’t even inform the grandchildren K is supposed to be looking after that she is going away and won’t be in contact? What are the kids supposed to think when they suddenly can’t find her or get in touch with her?
I think they are angry that Paris tweeted something that got the cops involved and it is putting too much attention their way. Who knows what they really were doing? If K needed rest etc., why not have one of her daughters come stay with her and help? Or talk to the kids and let them know she’s going away for a week or whatever.
Their story doesn’t hold water and makes them all look like lying money-hungry lowlifes who couldn’t care less about the three kids, only the money.
I rarely respond to stories on any gossip site, but I have a slightly different opinion on the story after reading about it on NecoleBitchie. A statement was released from Jermaine basically saying it’s redic that the kids can’t speak to their grandmother because she can talk to family members on the phone. Also, when all of this went down (Paris tweets and missing person investigation) Janet was chilling with her billionaire boyfriend on vacay. So it seems that the children might be in two camps, while the grandchildren are being kept out of the loop with what is going on with their grandmother and legal ramifications.
LOL sorry but who would believe to Jermaine?
Ha so true. I don’t trust Jermaine but I do trust Rebe and Janet for some reason. All of the kids signed some kind of legal document speaking out against the estate lawyer for stressing their mother into a mini-stroke. I wonder how much presence Katherine has in her grandchildren’s life when they don’t even bother to know if she is gone until days later.
Also, I think it’s interesting that Janet (not hurting for money) was with her boyfriend laughing it up this weekend. That tells me that this whole situation wasn’t that serious, and that Paris was overreaching.
It seems that the family went to the house to get the grandchildren so they could be with the grandmother they claimed to be concerned over and they decided not to go. So clearly a lot of family stuff is going on that the public doesn’t know about. But if low-key never got in the way Rebe is backing this then something else must be going on. And wow I can’t believe I’ve spent this much time analyzing their situation!
It sounds as though the siblings were trying to take the kids to Arizona to see Grandma for a photo op. (To be sold to a Randy-friendly website)
I think the siblings were so desperate to show the world that everything is OK so that Grandma isn’t replaced as guardian and therefore out of their manipulative influence.
Grandma has control over, what ? $70,000 per month?
What happens to the control of this money when she is gone?
Imara: In my opinion, the stuff about grandma and the mini stroke is a smoke screen. They’re called TIA’s; my mom’s had a couple. Not trying to minimize it, but Katherine is probably healthy and taking meds to help with the stroke. I think they just want control of the money, and the TIA was the ammo they decided to use.
If Katherine has had more than one TIA stroke, she will be missing bits of her brain function. Every time they hit, it’s like punching out sections of the brain (they show as gray patches on scans). My Dad had a few and his brain is now “like swiss cheese” as the doctor calls it. he knows all of us and can speak, laugh, take care of himself, etc., but he ain’t all there because his brain is not all there. People are not the same after strokes.
All I’m trying to say is, if K has had even one TIA, she doesn’t need to be monitoring a bunch of kids. They are fairly dangerous things, TIAs, not to be taken lightly.
My opinion only:
About Katherine abandoning the kids: they have about a dozen nannies. Paris didn’t even notice she was gone for several days. They offered to take the kids to AZ and they wouldn’t go.
There was an article recently about how Janet is furious that Paris is wanting to be a “STAR” and is already cast in a small role. Janet knows how tough the biz is on kids (Good Times, Different Strokes, Fame) and wants her to get an education and then decide. This is echoed by Reebie whose been married for decades and sons are well-grounded and educated because she moved out of LA years ago.
I’m thinking Paris is going to be a nightmare without some parental reigning in. Katherine is not in the shape to keep those kids in line. Maybe Reebie would be the best….love Janet but who knows if she wants that job.
Co sign! Paris may be a little pissy that auntie Janet don’t want in showbiz at such a young age. And if my care taker was gone for 1 day I would started asking questions I wouldn’t have waited a week to say something about it. There is reason why Reebie moved away from all that BS.
Actually, given that Janet only seems to check in around the time that she does press (since the press will ask about MJ’s kids), she isn’t in the position to gauge whether Paris is prepared to go into entertainment or not. And she sure as $hit not in the position to grab or snatch at Paris.
Personally, I don’t like the idea of young kids being on Twitter, but I think that it’s a smart move for Paris. The thing that got her father was the fact that he couldn’t say anything publicly about how his family treated him, behind closed doors. Paris is making it possible for some transparency to exist. And if the Jacksons object to that, I have to LMFAO, given their history of putting Michael on blast, usually in service of filling their own pockets a la Word to the Badd (Jermaine!) and numerous books and talk show appearances (LaToya!).
Katherine initially left to go see the brothers for one concert in New Mexico and another city That 2 or 3 day trip turned into being gone for over a week.Jermaine tweet claims Dr says no phone or computer for Katherine so she can avoid stress, I guess.
I would be more sympathetic toward Janet if she hadn’t alligned herself with shady Jermaine and Randy
Like hell. I think Janet, like her brothers and sister, just want MJ’s money and she pretend to care for his kids when interviewed.
I think it’s good that Paris is becoming more independent, since that family is totally untrustworthy.
Rebbie is the only sane one in that whole messed-up ménage. I wish she’d been given custody of the kids. But Rebbie has steered clear of the craziness in that family ever since she eloped with her husband when she was 17 years old. She probably didn’t want the responsibility. I really can’t blame her. She has her own family and she’s been happily married for 40-something years.
The thought of any of those kids even coming close to being able to write, since or dance anything like Michael, not to be unkind at all, is ridiculous. Especially since they don’t even have any of his DNA. I would choose another field, even acting, if I were they, and absolutely HAD to be in show biz.
If I was Janet I would wash my hands of this whole situation. I have my own money so I wouldn’t need my brother’s unlike the others I would go back to chillin with my boyfriend.
If I was Janet I would wash my hands of this situation. I have my own money so I wouldn’t need my brother’s unlike the others I would go back to being with my boyfriend.
My theory is that Janet was the second most marketable Jackson. I mean, she could probably release an album or be a judge on a singing show. If the others are completely cut-off from Michael’s money, who do you think they’ll be hitting up for cash next? Not saying I agree, but could see that being a factor.
I am glad that that the kids are old enough to realize what’s going on and Thank God they have bodyguards who have their best interest too.
Yeah, they basiclly prevented the kids from being kidnapped. Paris is smart to tweet this stuff. PR is their only defense.
This whole thing is a mess. Poor kids, being tossed to the side for money. There’s a reason Michael didn’t leave the siblings any money. Smh.
Joe Jackson was allegedly incredibly abusive. It is not surprising that his children are so comfortable traumatizing children.
This is sad, but michael knowing his greedy @ss fam should of made provisions to pay them to GO AWAY!. They are much dangerous now because they are desperate and greedy and that is a dangerous combination for the children.
Out of all this Janet “I got a rich boyfriend” is the most dissapointing.
What a disgusting display. If indeed Janet is involved, I am more disgusted by her than the others. We all know Jermaines M.O. so its not surprising from him but I would think Janet would be the level headed one. I guess Michael was right. Money is the root of all evil.
There is something not right with this family. These poor kids have practically had to raise themselves. And that Blanket kid looks…off somehow.
She hasn’t many years left.. LEAVE her the hell alone to enjoy them,.. moocher family.. the buck stops at your own smarts.. a paycheck, incentive to work or submit to welfare supplements. She should have not abandoned Michael s kids and told the money managers to post guards or whatever to keep these innocent ones safe.. but she isn’t squealing on her crooked, cruel and greedy family yet.. so I wonder if how she copes.. is by not being personally involved by turning her back and not thinking about the crisis..
I thought Celebitchy didn’t care about this one. It’s been everywhere but here yet there’s stories about no name Minka- I’m just famous because I boned Jeter- Kelly.
The Jacksons are awful. Michael was cuckoo for coco puffs and I’ll never believe those are his biological kids but the rest of them make him look the MOST sane in this family.
They’re such users. Capitalizing on his success when he was alive and now profiting and wanting to profit after his death.
Plenty of white families (my own included) have issues/fights/estrangements over money. This is not remotely “ghetto”.
The entire family makes me sick. If any other guardian hightailed it out of town and didn’t contact the children for a week, there would be consequences. Is the nanny on duty at all times? From what I understand, there is one nanny. What is so stressful that Katherine can’t use the freaking phone? The whole lot is up to something. Money grab for sure. I used to have some respect for Janet but no more. She is no better than Jermaine. They are all money grubbing turds.
Why didn’t MJ plan better for his children? He limited time with his family so I am sure that he knew leaving his sibling out of his will would create major problems within the family. From what I recall, before MJ died, Jermaine’s ex-wife (the one that was previously married to Randy?) and kids were living with Katherine. She had her elderly hands full before she became guardian of MJ’s kids. What a mess!
Rebbie signed that document too so what the hell is going on with this family. I wonder if social services will get involved now.
Poor kids. This family is seriously messed up. I used to think Janet was the only sane one, but it looks like she is just as greedy as the rest. Prince was pretty smart to see through what they were trying to do…using seeing their grandmother as an excuse to get a publicity pic. Wish Katherine was smart enough to not get manipulated. They are probably telling her the kids don’t want to see her. Sad.
They should all be ashamed of themself.
Randy Jermaine and Janet should just back the hell off. They had their opportuny, their money and all.
Micheal’s money it’s not theirs and I don’t get how they can have any pretence on it.
What a bunch of losers and money-grabber, I totally lost my respect for that part of the Jackson family.
I hope Paris, Prince and Blanket stick together and refuse to go with they aunts/uncles even in the future.
Now there is a new report that the children have spoken to their court appointed attorney. So there could be some new legal actions take. Like I said before. Katherine is not just the Grandmother she is the legal guardian. She can’t just step away without informing the children. And they are minor children. She should have been in contact with them. And if she can’t talk on a phone how can she be playing cards and having a good time with “family”.
The court system is going to step in very soon. WATCH and see.
I hope they do, because it’s clear none of the Jacksons have the decency or good sense to do the right thing with these kids. It’s all about the $$$$$
Michael K. has a really awful version of all this mess. God may help those kids. I hope they will be able to obtain a restraining order against them.
Oh get over yourself with the “Janet was the only sane one” comments, we’ve been hearing that since the 80s and it’s as old as all the plastic surgery / vitiligo jokes. If you’re going to mock one of the most successful families in musical history please at least do it with a little wit and originality as it’s just getting SO tired now.
The extended family can have whatever issues they like, I really don’t care. All I know is Michael brought those three children up incredibly. The constant crap about how they needed a mother and how unfair it was on these poor innocent children blah blah blah – just look at them. They have turned into well mannered, respectful, polite and intelligent young people who are an absolute testament to their father and his determination that they would be raised well. He couldn’t have done a better job if he’d had 50 mothers around for them.
It’s a sad situation that this extended family don’t talk to each other but it’s not a surprise and it’s certainly not news. The Jackson family has been at odds since its conception. They’re always scrabbling about something and it’s usually to do with money. None of that matters – they can carry on fighting all they like. As far as I can see the only thing that matters is these three incredible kids, and the fact that an 82 year old great grandmother is now trying to raise them on her own. It’s a shame so few of them seem either able or willing to support her in that.
There’s a reason Michael Jackson did not include ANY of his siblings in his will. Even Janet. He didn’t trust them and from the going-ons recently, it’s clear why. His mother, as old and defenseless as she is, was probably his best hope for his children if he ever passed away. The worst has now happened. I’m just glad the children seem to be strong-willed and aware of what’s going on. They’re not going to be railroaded by the greed of their extended family so easily.
Seeing the pic of all three kids together, it really strikes me: none of them are related to the other. And none of them are Michael’s.
What?Prince and Paris bio mother is Debbie Rowe so how are they not related? GMAB
It’s racist as hell and so are you for posting that comment.
Once all that money started rolling in, I knew sooner or later it would be a big mess.
The story makes it sound like Janet insisted Katherine go off to Arizona, and then as soon as she was gone, they went to try to take the kids? Shady.
If Katherine is not capable of caring for them, contact social services, the lawyers, etc, and start working on other arrangements, don’t pull some scheme to take the kids.
It’s very odd that we never saw those kids for all those years, and now they’re everywhere and Paris is putting all kinds of info out on twitter. She seems very mature and under a lot of stress, but I hope she also understands the value of privacy and not having the tabloids involved in family squabbles.
TMZ says that a plan to remove the kids from Katherine has been in ready and waiting in place for 3 years.
This has always been about the money, now the kids know it too.
I feel terrible for these kids. I knew when Michael Jackson died his family would try to get into his money. I don’t blame Paris for tweeting because it’s her only way of communicating without the vultures getting in the way. I’ve lost all respect for Janet. She seems content with the kids being treated like pawns as long as it keeps her siblings out of her wallet.
I know Prince and Paris’s birth mother gave up her parental rights but I think she should try to get custody of them and blanket too. They need to get away from there crazy relatives.
I believe Janet wants a take of the inheritance if it is possible they do somehow get a share.., but she is determined not to take responsibility and care of Michel’s kids directly.. is part of the problem too? The Jackson family are amazing at pretending we are loving family.. yet determinedly against each other, fighting for power over the BRAND Name and wealth all the time.. Pix of Janet and Jermaine verbally sparring on the front driveway after the cops were called today.. because of a physical brawl inside. It’s that bad.. Listen.. these squabbling siblings couldn’t successfully swipe a tomato out of their own garden without major turmoil because one would tempt and taunt them to do it.. then tell on them just to enjoy the shame and suffering when the fool gets caught. The executors of the estate need to move all the family out from the payroll through Grandma.. or put Michael s kids into a new home compound.. assign guardians who are not family, put Grandma on a budget, wean her away from those brats that vex her night and day, brainwash her to give in and trust them.. keep them away without permission to visit and be done with the ugly craftiness of greed and possible harm done to Jackson’s kids in their stupid preoccupation and desperation to grasp great fortune…
Janet is not after the money.
That doesn’t make sense.
Diana Ross was named the next guardian after Katherine’s death.
So Miss Ross better come get those kids.
Diana Doesn’t Know kids Also she lives in CT. Doesn’t want to move kids.
there is no need to become racist and plus you can’t spell correctly.
just stop while your ahead.
Not surprised Janet is involved, after all she assaulted her father’s mistress along with other family members, don’t buy that innocent smile routine, saw this coming years ego when they blocked Debbie Rowe from petitioning to regain custody, so that they would get Katherine out of the way to get guardianship of the children and get access to estate that way.
If Katherine is willing to be used as bait and disappear without telling the children she’s leaving, she’s not fit to be their guardian. Hope court intervenes soon and gives emergency custody to Debbie Rowe. Really impressed how Prince stood his ground and refused to go with that evil B Janet, who only has single agenda from separating the children from their inheritance.
Quite frankly, knowing Katherine is a Jehovah’s Witness, and also knowing that Katherine let Joe treat Michael and the boys the way he did, I think the less she speaks to those children, the better. The less influence she and her husband have on those 3 children, the better.
Oh please. For one thing, MJ’s kids are spoiled brats. For another, Michaels sibs, who are far more normal than he ever was, were the ones who tried to save his life, when everyone in L.A. knew he was so messed up on drugs provided for him by his enablers — the real leaches — who wanted to keep him that way. Rebe, Janet & Jermaine and a couple of the others had several interventions for Michael in the couple of years before he died. He was in complete denial and gave them a bad time, even though they stood by him thru all of his various, ridiculous crap he put them through, the molestion cases, the weirdnesses…they always supported him, always had his back. They insisted to everyone that MJ was innocent and always defended him. Does anyone think his oddities did not reflect on them?
It was the freaky people he had around him the last few years of his life that controlled him and brainwashed him, and ultimately destroyed him, and are now manipulating his dumb & obnoxious kids. When the chips are down, the o n l y people you can really count on are family. MJ’s sibs have always adored him all of his life. He was always treated as the special one, and he used to love and look up to them.
Lastly, this crap about them trying to take away the nieces and nephews money is ridiculous, as is MJs will cutting them out, no doubt done at the instigation of his psycho hangers on/enablers. What type of person that made hundreds of millions would not provide something for their siblings as well? I would never shut my siblings out of my will. I can’t even fathom such a thing. Do his 3 kids need a billion bux? I am told Katherine was very upset about MJ’s will and thinks MJ should certainly have left something for his sibs, who were there for him and with him all during his life except for the last few insane years. Would there be a Michael Jackson without his siblings? No, they even participated in all of his biggest selling albums.
They were always there for him, and now they are taking care of their mother, which they have every right to do. She wanted to attend a Jehovahs Witness function with Rebe, who is her one kid who has stayed in that religion. Ironically, MJ was heard many times saying he relied the most on Rebe, and in fact, she spent a lot of her time after Mjs death taking care of his kids. We saw her with them on several occasions, she even moved from Vegas back to Socal at their request. There is much much more to this story than is available on TMZ.
Oh please. Stop blaming his kids for this situation. Despicable.
MJ’s siblings blew their money and now they have hatched this ridiculous scheme that has totally backfired on them to get some more. Why would Michael provide for the siblings that have had every opportunity to provide for themselves? They have no business trying to remake MJ into some other guy.
Maybe he didn’t leave them a thing because they’re the kind of people who think nothing about direspecting his mother and his children by kidnapping and neglecting them.
NONE of them have ANYTHING to say about what happens to PPB per Michael’s will and they do NOT speak for their mother either.
Oh yeah Jermaine marrying Randy ‘s wife is normal. JAFFAR :”Randy Jr is my cousin and my half brother “
I lost respect for Jermaine and Randy when I learned Katherine was financially supporting their kids and Alejandra for years until she moved with MJs kids from Havenhurst.Be adult stop being a leech
Jermaine, is that you?
Why doesn’t Katherine simply come forward and call her grandchildren?
A child has to appeal to the public when her family tries to fleece her and her siblings: thank God she has the outlet. Now there’s a thought, huh? It’s a sad situation, good thing the kids seems to be so whip-smart, as they clearly need the defense and goodness knows I’m not a member of the Cult Of The Guild Of St. Katharine. Even if she is more assertive these days, she would be a voice in a the wilderness and that sounds like the situation that would paint her in the best light. Has she ‘evolved’? And after ten kids–ten Jackson kids, Joe, a dead child, three new ones and 82 years, how much would even get done about it? I’m not filled with optimism. I mean, heck–even with the more corporal punishment-minded parenting style of the time and that exists in a lot of black families and the more deferential role that mothers frequently took in the family in relation to the ‘man of the house’, not her, not Diana, not Barry Gordy–not anyone did anything about Ole Money Joe, so everyone was on the take. If no one saw it, how come so much is alleged by so many?
All of that grease on Jermaine’s YuckFace could have OPEC beat for miles, he shouldn’t have any financial issues, this crap’s beneath contempt.
@Jo Mama–what a racist commentary. Issues exists in all families regardless of race, etc. Just turn on the tv and watch the Jerry Springer, Maury, etc type shows or even the news if you want proof. This happens everywhere and to anyone…
I disagree with those who said that Michael was a bad parent–no he was not. He protected those children with everything he had–that is why they were covered until they were of age, and unlike some celebs who leave their kids behind, they traveled with him everywhere and he made sure that in all versions of his will (of which there were several in the beginning) , they were taken care of. they were his life. Please dont dismiss that. that’s not fair to PP & P2. Those children always have wonderful things to say about their father so its not fair to say that he was not a good dad. BTW: Prince and Paris are biologically RELATED –both are from Debbie Rowe.
there are so many conflicting stories out there..what is to be believed???
But what stands out is that there is someone in that house who is leaking information to the press…the video tmz has posted regarding the whole Janet/Randy/Paris/etc arguement was taken from an inside survelliance camera. It looks like someone was taping the action on the camera with their own phone.
From what has been said–and I think there are two seperate issues here…one is that Katherine Jackson has a caretaker, who is incidentally Joe Jacksons nephew..and he has been leaking information to the press for years. Apparently the stroke was the last straw. Who would know that except very close family members and caretakers? Even Paris denied it on her twitter–which means a) she didnt know or b) it was a personal family matter that she didnt want anyone to know. From what I hear, katherine was scheduled to go to the concerts and this nephew was to accompany her so her children took this opportunity to break her away from this shady person. Unfortunately no one let MJ’s kids in on the plan so of course now they think she is missing.
Second issue: Michaels will. First, while Michael and other sibs were clearly abused by their father, he NEVER blamed his mother and supported her throughout his life..Of all the people in his life, he always trusted and loved his mother. That is fact. So of course in his mind, leaving his kids to his mother made sense in his mind. I believe he chose Diana as back-up because she reminded him of his mother-her kids have always said that she was a great mother. I believe that Janet and Rebie atleast (dont know about others’ motives) want to challenge the will b/c they feel like Katherine being used too much because of the $$ she is receiving. rebie has never needed Michael’s money and neither has Janet.
I don’t understand the racism accusation, The Rule Of The Switch has been traditionally applied in many black households and corporal punishment for children existed in greater force in the ’50s and ’60s than it does now in general, regardless of the race of the parents. I didn’t state that it was a uniquely black phenomeonon and I think that you have inferred that (regardless of whether one personally supports the practice or elieve in its potentially negative lasting effects) I support the notion that each spank was delivered as a function malevolence of forethought or unweildy menance masquerading as something more noble.
My point was that even within that sterner upbringing context, it seems unlikely that no one was a witness to any of the punishments that quickly transitioned into the abuses the kids suffered, but likely turned away under the auspices of ‘minding my own business’ when ‘counting the revenue’ sounds like a good candidate for a reason as to why things went on as they did. I am in no need of the manufactured donnybrooks on talk shows to teach me of things that I already know exist. Family conflict is blind and if there’s money involved it becomes a real eye opener. But the effectiveness or moral justification of using corporal punishment as a means of discipline and the judicious meteing out of this punishment if one chooses to employ it is a conversation that rages today still in discourses surrounding contemporary black parenting. It’s the conversation starter thas launched a million hacky comics, I’m relating a phenomenon and think it’s alarmist to suggest otherwise. I’m not saying it’s a point of parenting that is universal but it’s one that exists, I’ve witnessed numerous sparring matches over it, experienced it and I don’t believe that paying attention to it is equivalent to racism.
You’re about the last person I would accuse of being racist Jo Mama.
Thank-you. If any of my comments come off as supportive of any kind of mass discrimination I’d be remiss if I didn’t take care to clear up the confusion.
You know, I have just watched the video and what I find absolutely amazing is that the adults were filming the altercation on their mobile phones. Why would they do this? The only thing I can think of is that they a. want to release it for publicity or b. they wanted to goad the children into doing something silly on camera for legal reasons. Either way these people are weird with a capital W.
Janet is very, very wealthy, worth 150 million dollars. I can’t believe she would have anything but the best intentions. The brothers not so much.
Radaronline is saying that MJ was $500 million in debt when he died and the family wanted nothing to do with the will at that point. Now that the conservators have almost made enough money to cover his debts from his estate and have signed lucrative deals that will make the children money in the clear, it seems now they want a piece of it. The current conservators of MJ’s will are doing a fine job. Can you imagine if the siblings get ahold of it? The estate will be right back in debt and the children will have nothing. Shameful.
I read that as well and thought it seemed like the Jackson siblings were out for money. While it is radar that seems pike the most likely reason behind all the family drama. Having control of his estate would allow them acesss to his money and licensing affording them mass opportunities for exploid MJ. I never understood why he had kids until now, because he wanted heirs to give his wealth to NOT his family. I also saw on radar that some of the brothers need if for child support, talk about entitled jeez. I hope those kids are able to keep an uninterested party as thier guardian and are able to live the life thier father intended to leave them.
I don’t trust a single soul in that Jackson family. Even Tito and what, Jackie now wanting out? BS! Sure, they just want whatever in they can get with the kids and hopefully get some money in the long run. Plus, image-conscious as they are, these two dont’ want to look bad in the media. A bunch flagrantly transparent con artists, the lot imo. Do any of them know the meaning of working at a real job?
Well, who’s the young kid who’s applying for temporary custody? He might be all right…God, what a mess. Those kids need state guardians until they turn 18. With 100% transparency in financial transactions the whole time. Michael had his problems, no doubt, but it does speak volumes to me that he left nothing to the rest of the family. I just wish he had had the mental and emotional wherewithal to properly assign guardianship. Katherine seems too old and easily influenced. Diana Ross, what a joke. Urg.
I not going to pretend I know anything personal about this family, and I will admit I haven’t read the responses yet so maybe this,has been brought up already, and I apologize if so, but where the hell is Joe? Is he behind the whole thing and in ,Arizona doing the brainwashing himself? He seems like the type that would be all over the media attention. If he could…. 🙁
I can just see Judge Judy – I WISH she was involved in this – screaming at the Jacksons, Randy in particular: “GET A JOB!”
And then after they mumble they HAVE a job looking at the estate, the kids, and other BS, she yells, “I MEAN A REAL JOB!”
Such losers.
The other Jacksons can contest till the cows come home but they will not and are not ever going to see any of that money. They can contest it but that will is locked tight. They are a disgrace, egomaniacs, and if I had been Paris and Janet laid a hand on me, I would have slapped her damn plastic face off. Janet proved to be just as bad as Jermaine and the gang, and I dont believe she has that much money. And I say she sure as hell will not take care of her brothers and sisters. As for Jermaine and Randy sharing a wife, thats some strange right there. They are all crazy as hell. And I worry about grandmas sanity not contacting her grand children. The kids need new court appointed guardian and restraining orders against Janet, Jermaine and the rest of them.
Katherine was part of the whole plot and is being used as bait to get the children out of the house, I’m glad the bodyguards intervened.
janet is right I would guess, she is watching out for her 82 year old mother!
try being with 3 Kids at that age! Yes getting spoiled. She needs time away!
good for janet!
