I hope this is the bottom line. Almost ALL fans were in support of Katherine when she first had custody of those children. She is Michael's MOTHER. But, as time passed, more and more seemed to go wrong. First was the DCFS investigation of that household, in which MANY of her grandchildren were living. That was regarding a Taser in the hands of children. But yet, we STILL supported her.
And now? Michael is not here anymore, and there is NO confusion about how he was raising those children. . out of the public eye, very well educated, very well behaved, and allowed to be CHILDREN. Many of us, now, are taking exception to what Katherine is doing. . READ the contract with Howard Mann, ok?
Whatever anyone might think of them, it is the ESTATE that protects the children's financial interests. The estate has sole ownership of Michael's brand and image. In the alliance with Mann, Katherine is going against the estate's wishes. . . the estate of her own son.. and is promoting a "satellite estate," which is the subject of lawsuits. That might be her own BUSINESS, but she is also requiring Michael's children to support HER own "business," to their own detriment.
Please understand this? Any money Katherine's enterprises make, are for her, alone. Any money the estate makes, is for Michael's CHILDREN. Therefore, in requiring the children to promote Mann/Johnson, they are harming their own futures, with no choice in that, as minors. Would Michael have wanted this? REALLY?
