I can't believe what's happening. It never seems to stop.
Just when you think things are looking up, some of the family pops up with something like this.
They seem to have fully exposed themselves this time and it seems it's not just us fans seeing it.
My thoughts go out to the kids, they shouldn't have to deal with family drama at their age.
I don't blame Paris for thinking about her father at a time like this.
All for the love of money, how shamefull.

Katherine Jackson 'Blindsided' By Her Children's Letter To Michael Jackson's Executors
Katherine Jackson was blindsided by news a letter had been written by several of her children to the executors of Michael Jackson's estate, demanding their resignation, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
As we previously reported, several media outlets obtained a letter allegedly from Janet, Rebie, Tito, Randy, and Jermaine Jackson demanding that the Jackson Estate executors John Branca and John McClain resign immediately because they (the Jackson siblings) believe that the late singer's will was a fake. This comes after three failed legal challenges in the matter already. The letter also alleged that Katherine Jackson was in bad health and had recently suffered a mini-stroke. Katherine's lawyer told CNN she is in good health and did not suffer a mini-stroke.
Katherine "had absolutely NO idea that her children had written to the executors of Michael's estate. Katherine was extremely upset because this isn't something that she would ever authorize or support, period. Katherine has no issues with the executors, and she is satisfied with the work that John Branca and John McClain are doing. Katherine is extremely upset with her children for writing the letter, and is extremely disappointed that the letter was made public," a source close to the matriarch of the Jackson family tells us.
On Wednesday, Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris, put her aunts and uncles on notice and said on Twitter that she will, "defend my beloved family member with all I have, even if it means from other family members. I am going to clarify right now that what has been said about my grandmother is a rumor and nothing has happened, she is completely fine. I will defend my beloved family member with all I have, even if it means from other family members."
According to our sources, the letter was written because "the wrongful death lawsuit that Katherine Jackson was pressured into filing against AEG for the wrongful death of Michael is turning into a disaster. Katherine has been deposed, and it was a grueling process, and it's very taxing on her. The Jackson siblings wrote this letter, even though there have been three failed challenges of the will, and the statute of limitations to contest the will has expired to try and get money from Michael's estate. Make no mistake, this is all about money. There is a very good reason why Michael intentionally left his siblings and his father out of the will. Michael's will was very clear, and the beneficiaries are his three children and Katherine. Period. End of story. The Jackson siblings have no legal recourse as far as the will is considered and the person responsible for Michael's death is behind bars, Dr. Conrad Murray," the insider revealed.
At the time of Michael Jackson's death he was over $500 million dollars in debt. Recent court documents filed by the executors state that the estate has a gross earnings of $475 million dollars, and the outstanding debt will soon be whittled down to nothing in the very near future. "Michael Jackson's legacy and the financial legacy has been single-handedly resurrected by John Branca and John McClain, and the lucrative deals they have made for the estate. Many people said that Michael was naive when it came to business, yes, he spent money he didn't have, but the smartest thing he ever did, besides buying the Beatle's record catalogue, was to appoint John Branca and John McClain as the executors. Michael trusted those two men and respected them as human beings. He knew they would always do the right thing, and they have. They have carried out his wishes to the letter,' the source said.
Katherine has requested "increases in her monthly allowance for expenses, and the Estate has never opposed that, and it has always been granted. The only thing Katherine's children are doing now is causing her more stress than she needs. Katherine has an excellent lawyer who looks out for her best interests," the insider stated.
Whenever the executors are about to sign a new contract on behalf of the estate, "the lawyers submit it to the judge for his review. Almost all of the deals are approved by the judge, even though the Estate often isn't required to get approval. There has been absolute transparency in all of the business deals that the executors have made, as well as the debts that have been paid off," the source said.

The analogy of the cubs and lioness Jermaine pulled is just...
uke:
you're all grown ass men and women so GTFO with that crap, seriously the more I've read through the thread the more I wish it was either of them who was gone instead of Michael, forgive me but they are all a bunch of despicable, disgusting leeches. I really really feel for Michael, all the sh*t his own family put him through all his life and even after he's gone, and now even his kids

They alway's make a mistake when they do this STUPID crap but they never learn. It's hard to believe from their actions that they have been very public figures for as long as they have. They are suppose to be professionals, they should friggin know better by now.

Thank you Ivy.
Is it possible that if they somehow manages to get Katherine under conservation, as you said conservator takes over her representation, that the same person takes over taking care of the kids? Therefore they would be able to control kids as well as Katherine.
One scary thought that came to my mind. Paris tweets to Randy disappeared so fast from her twitter, obviously someone in the family told her to take them down. In case Kath is under conservation, what if this family member threatens the kids and tells them to say the judge that they want, lets say Rebbie to look after them and that request is granted.
Is that possible scenario?

I do not believe that that was Janet's motive for support of this greedy crusade because it would mean that she is very cunning and clever -> to protect own wealth she'll support Randy & co. over legitimate brother's will and the best interest of his children?! Hmmmm! :scratch:
I don't know how much she is manipulated and how much she is greedy like Randy or Jermaine but I am terribly disappointed that Janet signed that trash all the more so because that gave some credibility to it. Most people do not take seriously Randy or Jermaine's ranting but with Janet involved... :angry:
If it wasn't true I wouldn't believe it!

Seemingly they are not doing great on their tour, thus need to get money flowing from other sources.
Randy showed up in their concert the other night, bet they had a lot to talk about their letter.
------------------------------------------------
"Still, the crowd was noticeably small, not even filling the bottom level of the theater -- a far cry from the stadiums the brothers filled on their last tour.
There was even a brief clip of the Pepsi commercial during which he was badly burned. (why the hell they were showing that!!)
And while younger brother Randy (not the "American Idol" judge) declined to take part in this tour, he did make an appearance at the end, coming on to join his brothers for some dance moves during the finale of "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground.")

I'm sorry to scare you with my possible scenario, but believe me, I got scared myself while mulling over it.
There is something that is nagging me about how fast Paris tweets disappeared yesterday and Katherine wasn't there, if she was in spa. Paris is strong headed girl, who speaks her mind, I cannot see her backing down just like that?
At least she has bodyguards there.

Does she really? Always, also at home??
How could they possibly blackmail her or threaten her? One word to the social services and the three kids are out of there!

Jermaine Jackson has released a statement, through a rep, saying, "I note that this 'story' comes from 'sources close to the Estate'. It, therefore, does not surprise me that such a wildly false claim is being invented, presumably to deflect attention away from this family's very real concerns about the Estate."
The statement continues, "This claim is as far-fetched as it is untrue, but such are the anti-Jackson falsehoods we have come to expect from 'sources close to the Estate.'"
"I will reiterate that this family's first and foremost concern is our mother's health, welfare and well-being. Nothing else."

As i understand it (unfortunately i have expereience of it in my family) i took ministrokes to mean TIAs, episodes of varying severity where oxygen doesn't get to the brain. It can lead to memory loss, confusion, impairment of reasoning skills etc. I do have to say that i've noticed from interviews that mrs j's memory and power of recall is pretty poor. Wasn't it the case in one of the aeg depositions that she couldn't remember donte's name, someone she had lived with for 20odd years, she couldn't remember jordan chandler's name in that latest interiew and just seems to give the same answers to questions in all her interviews. If something is happening healthwise to mrs j, then the last thing they should be worried about is who gets her share of the estate allowance, as it's a v v distressing illness.

I am utterly shocked at how the children are using and turning on Katherine.
They are starting to sound dangerous, and what's this vacation about? What did they do to Katherine there? Not letting Paris speak to her? Evil. Beyond low.
And super reliogious Rebbie's in the mess too? What a joke.

HLN has obtained a statement from Katherine Jackson’s lawyer, concerning the family dispute: "These are extremely intelligent young people growing into fine young adults and they obviously inherited a complex family dynamic. I'm absolutely certain they will be able to sort out the family dynamic, just as their father did and make appropriate decisions about how to deal with the situation."
I think the way thing are carried out in the household, they'll do what their father did before them. They'll be gone to other country to get rid of this family.

You never know, but then again, nobody knew that Michael was beaten when he was growing up until he spoke about it. I hope the bodyguards are stand by, Randy seems to be a bit hot tempered.Billie Jean 78;3673349 said:

I'm sure the kids have a Nanny that is staying with them atleast?! But, still Katherine shouldn't have let her kids take her away on this fake "Spa vacation." Cause now MJ kids are proably scared about what has been goin on and the fact that they can't reach her. Hopefully when Katherine gets back she will never trust her grown Cubs again when it comes to their fake vacation ideas. Maybe now she'll understand what her grown cubs did to MJ so many times when they use to invent drug interventions that were really about touring etc. Because let's remember it was her grown cubs feeding her that MJ was a serious addict all these yrs. Yet, Katherine herself never saw him do a damn thing. What she always heard was nothing but hersay from third parties and her grown cubs feeding her B.S! She admitted to that much on Oprah.

Top 5 Accusations Michael Jackson Siblings Make Against His Estate
By LUCHINA FISHER (@luchina)
July 20, 2012
Michael Jackson fans are up in arms over a letter circulating on the Internet that appears to be signed by several Jackson siblings, including Janet and Jermaine, threatening legal action against the executors of his estate.
In the letter, obtained by ABC News, five Jackson siblings accuse executors John McClain and John Blanca of fraud and abuse of their mother, Katherine Jackson."THIS HAS TO STOP NOW; NO MORE!!" the letter reads. "Before we hit the stage, we were a family and still to this day we are a family. We're not going to let anyone abuse our mother, nor will we tolerate any further attempts to divide us."Thursday, Jermaine Jackson hinted on Twitter that there is more to come: "Re our letter to Estate: while fans only have limited info right now, we ask for patience because much is yet to emerge in this jigsaw..."The letter, signed additionally by Rebbie, Tito and Randy Jackson, suggested that Katherine Jackson recently suffered a "mini-stroke" as a result of the longtime dispute between the executors and members of the family.Her attorney disputed that Jackson was in poor health."Katherine Jackson is absolutely capable of taking care of the children and does a terrific job," her attorney, Perry Sanders, said in a statement to ABC News. "I have no reason to think that has changed in any way, shape or form. She does a phenomenal job, is extremely lucid and not having any difficulties of any consequence. It's unfortunate that anyone would paint Mrs. Jackson as anything but completely lucid and doing a great job with the children."Even Jackson's daughter, Paris, 14, has chimed into the dispute."i am going to clarify right now that what has been said about my grandmother is a rumor and nothing has happened, she is completely fine," Paris tweeted Wednesday.
Read the letter here.
"The truth is that Mother DID suffer a mini-stroke some months ago," Jermaine Jackson tweeted Thursday. "She is fine now, but the timeline doesn't alter the fact it happened"The relationship between the Jackson family and the singer's executors has been strained for most of the three years since Jackson's sudden death from an overdose of the anesthetic Propofol. Many of the allegations contained in the letter have been made by family members before. But the letter threatens new legal action against Branca, an entertainment lawyer, and McClain, a music executive -- both of whom worked with Jackson at different points in his career.In response to the letter, estate spokesman Jim Bates said in a statement to ABC News, "We are saddened that false and defamatory accusations grounded in stale Internet conspiracy theories are now being made by certain members of Michael's family whom he chose to leave out of his will. We are especially disheartened that they come at a time when remarkable progress has been made to secure the financial future of his children by turning around the estate's finances as well as during a time when so many of Michael's fans, old and new, are enjoying his artistry through exciting new projects."Bates also dismissed any claims that the will, which was validated in probate court in the months after Jackson's death on June 25, 2009, was somehow a fake."Any doubts about the validity of Michael's will and his selection of executors were thoroughly and completely debunked two years ago when a challenge was rejected by the Los Angeles County Superior Court, the California Court of Appeals and, finally, the California Supreme Court," Bates said in his statement."Under the supervision of Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff, co-executors John Branca and John McClain have diligently carried out their fiduciary duties as well as their obligation to Michael to make sure that his estate benefits the only family members he named in his will -- his mother and his three children."
In the letter, the five siblings vow to continue their fight against the executors."We are going to take every appropriate action to seek justice and to see to it that the truth be known," the letter reads. "We will hand this over to the proper authorities."The letter was not signed by Jackie, Marlon and La Toya Jackson, nor did parents Joe and Katherine Jackson sign it.ABC News requested comments from several Jackson siblings but none of their reps responded immediately.
Here are the top five accusations made in the letter:
The Will Is a Fake:
"The shock of Michael's sudden unexpected passing was overwhelming to our family, to say the least. At that time we couldn't possibly fathom what is so obvious to us now: that the Will, without question, it's Fake, Flawed and Fraudulent.
"Amongst many other inconsistencies in the Will, there is also a conflict around Michael's location on the day he supposedly signed the Will, July 7, 2002. According to what is witnessed in the document, it is impossible and illogical that he could have been in two places at one time. We have evidence that undoubtedly supports and proves that Michael was absolutely not in Los Angeles, California, on the date of his signature reflected in the Will at-hand."
Michael Jackson Despised His Executors:
"Our brother told us, in no uncertain terms and without hesitation in the months prior to his death, that he despised both of you and that he did not want either of you to have anything to do with his life or estate for that matter. We know that and you knew that. We believe you relied on the presumption that no one would be so bold as to suggest that you would perpetrate such unconscionable deceit; but you were wrong."
The Executors Are Pressuring Katherine Jackson:
"She is an eighty-two year old woman. Your actions are affecting her health, and on top of that, we've just found out she recently had a mini-stroke. Please understand, she's not equipped to handle the stress load you are putting on her. She feels, as she has said, 'I'm stuck in the middle.' She too knows and acknowledges the Will was forged. She wants to do the right thing, and move in the direction of justice for her son and family, yet she fears the POWERS THAT BE."
The Executors Are Conspiring with Katherine Jackson's Advisers:
"For some strange reason her advisors Lowell Henry, Perry Sanders and Trent [Jackson], although in agreement with her regarding the validity of the Will, are telling her to disregard what she knows as fact. lnstead, her so called advisors are convincing her to let them negotiate 'deals' with Branca and McClain on her behalf, or is it on the behalf of all of you. Her advisors' loyalty seems to be skewed by the percentage you offer them, preventing them from advising her properly."
Sanders responded to CNN that "my only loyalty in this matter is to Mrs. Jackson, and the public record of my success for her speaks for itself."
The Executors Are Part of a Conspiracy Surrounding Jackson's Death:
"We know there is most certainly a conspiracy surrounding our brother's death and now coarse manipulation and fear are being used to cover it up. Your heartless pursuit of wealth, fame and power is at the expense of our family, whose deepest desire is to give to the world a gift of hope, love and unity through our music. Though we have lost our brother, we live and will continue to fight in unity."

Her advisors' loyalty seems to be skewed by the percentage you offer them, preventing them from advising her properly."
Sanders responded to CNN that "my only loyalty in this matter is to Mrs. Jackson, and the public record of my success for her speaks for itself."
The Executors Are Part of a Conspiracy Surrounding Jackson's Death:
"We know there is most certainly a conspiracy surrounding our brother's death and now coarse manipulation and fear are being used to cover it up. Your heartless pursuit of wealth, fame and power is at the expense of our family, whose deepest desire is to give to the world a gift of hope, love and unity through our music. Though we have lost our brother, we live and will continue to fight in unity."

When are they gonna end up all that drama and bullshit!?
Michael's will is absolutely valid, why would he leave money to siblings who werent close to him!? :do: I don't get how Janet got involved if she has her own damn money! :angry:

Do the children (PPB) still have a "guardian ad litem"? It certainly seems as though it would be in their best interest to have one at a time when their own extended family members appear to be attempting to sway their grandmother's opinion. I am concerned that there is an objective third party who is legally able to defend the children's interest while all of this is taking place--YES-KIDS STILL HAVE GUARDIAN AD LITEM
Since the Will was deemed valid... Is there anyway the other family members, not mentioned in the will, can get the executors to step down? and do these family members have any legal rights at all??? NOTHING FAMILY CAN DO TO ASK EXECUTORS TO STEP DOWN & THE JOHN'S WOULDN'T DO ANYWAY. FAMILY HAS NO LEGAL RECOURSE AS FAR AS MAKING ANY CLAIMS OF MJ'S ESTATE.
What makes the "family" think that the will is unvalide? Because Michael didn't leave them any money? I can see Michael feeling that his sibs are all adults and need to support themselves. MJ'S SIBLINGS LETTER THIS WEEK TO EXECUTORS IS ALL ABOUT $$$ SADLY.
do we know who was the author of that letter-NOT DEFINITIVELY. I'M TOLD THIS IS BEING DRIVEN MAINLY BY JERMAINE & RANDY.
I am curious as to the legality of the letter that was leaked to the media from the member of the family involved since it appeared poorly constructed and was full of errors etc. EXCELLENT QUESTION--LETTER HAS NO LEGAL STANDING WHATSOEVER.
are all signatures real? APPEARS LIKELY SINCE JANET, RANDY, JERMAINE TWEETED IT WAS AUTHENTIC. ETC.
do you have a copy of the document? NO, BUT HAVE READ IT ONLINE FROM THE SEVERAL DIFFERENT MEDIA OUTLETS THAT PUBLISHED IT.
What is behind the timing of this letter, was the Estate notified before it was sent to the media? NO, NOR WAS THE ESTATE GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND BEFORE PUBLISHED. SOURCES CLOSE TO EXECUTORS WERE BAFFLED BY THE TIMING & THE CONTENTS OF THE LETTER.
.do you know why Katherine was taken to AZ? TO GET HER OUT OF TOWN WHEN THIS LETTER WAS "LEAKED" TO THE MEDIA
WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY IN THE MEDIA TO FULLY VET A STORY BEFORE GOING WITH IT. THAT LETTER CONTAINED NO NEW INFORMATION, AND HAS NO LEGAL STANDING. ALL IT DID WAS UPSET MJ'S CHILDREN, AND CAUSE MORE STRESS TO THOSE CHILDREN. IF YOU ARE GOING TO PUBLISH THAT LETTER, YOU NEED TO AT LEAST BE FAIR AND GET RESPONSE FROM ESTATE.
Where are you getting your info from? SOURCES VERY CLOSE TO THE SITUATION.
Considering Paris's involvement yesterday, has she been able to talk to Katherine? NO, NOT YET. MRS. J IS STILL OUT OF TOWN AT THE SPA.
Who is with the kids? THEIR NANNY
Do you think this is part of a larger plan to get Katherine deemed unfit being their guardian, so they can get access to the money via guardianship? and if so what is that likelihood? YES. BUT THE ESTATE WOULD ABSOLUTELY OPPOSE THE MRS J'S CHILDREN BEING GIVEN CONSVERATORSHIP OF HER BUSINESS & FINANCIAL AFFAIRS. THEY WOULD WANT AN INDEPENDENT PERSON APPOINTED, BUT THAT ISN'T IN PLAY NOW AS SHE IS IN GOOD HEALTH (FOR SOMEONE HER AGE)
It was reported Janet was with Katherine, pics have surfaced from Italy with her vacationing with her boyfriend..do we know is Katherine alone? NO, NOT ALONE. REBY IS MOST LIKELY WITH HER.
does the Estate have any recourse to the continued harassment by the Jackson's? YES THAT IS ALL I CAN SAY AT THIS POINT.
LET ME ALSO SAY THIS -- THE LETTERS THE MJ FANS HAVE WRITTEN IN SUPPORT OF THE EXECUTORS & AGAINST THE SIBLINGS HAVE BEEN READ BY THEM. THEY ARE VERY, VERY APPRECIATIVE OF IT.
THE EXECUTORS ARE COMMITTED TO HONORING MJ'S WISHES, FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CHILDREN & MRS. J.
Sthe Estate has seen the letter written by MJJC? YES, YES, YES.
What do you think the next step will be for all parties involved? GOOD QUESTION, YOU CAN NEVER PREDICT WHAT THE JACKSON FAMILY WILL DO/SAY/CLAIM - I'M REFERRING TO MJ'S SIBLINGS.
Any idea where Michael's siblings would be able to come up with the sort of funds necessary to fight the estate? EVEN IF THEY HAD THE MONEY, THERE IS NO FIGHT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T CONTEST BECAUSE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS TO DO SO HAS PASSED.
Do you think we'll see a statement from Katherine about the letter by her kids? I SINCERELY DOUBT IT AS SHE LOATHES HAVING THIS DRAMA PLAY OUT IN THE PRESS.
Diana Ross still involved with the kids, she was Michael wish to tke care of the kids after his mother...? YES, MS. ROSS IS.

kinda strange statement in relation to the kids.
Jerm gets more desperate by the hour .of all the families b.s this had to have been the one that has backfired the most. the money must be getting real low. keep going jerm cause its just shows the kids your true colours. and hopefully will make them realise why dad kept away and hopefully they will do the same
