No. She did not. TJ was left in charge of the kids, among with Trent(?). Katherine and Jermaine both confirmed this.
Let me clarify - I mean unattended by her. The question here is not whether she left someone else in charge. It is which version of the story is the correct one - did she choose to take a complete break or did she unwittingly find herself ata spa, where all of her communication and information tools were removed or malfunctioning?
If it was a voluntary break -then she lied to the judge.
If it was involuntary break - then she lied to the general public.
I am not a lawyer nor do I know the truth behind the will. It sure seems like it might be fake, but again, I cannot say. Neither can anyone else on this board.
Agreed. But if I recall correctly a court of law was satisfied with that any anomalies were explained and resolved. And the time period for challenging the will has passed. There is no legal recourse here. There does not seem much point in raising this issue three years after the fact.
Well you can look at it in two different ways; TJ getting the co-guardianship is in some opinion exactly what the estate wanted, and he would greatly benefit this. On the other hand (and this is MY opinion), I think the most important thing is that Katherine isn't so stressed that her kids need to worry about her health and that the kids have some say on it. Seems like the situation has calmed down now, and they reached some sort of conclusion.
I also agree that the co-guardianship is a good idea. It cannot be easy for an 82 year old woman to deal with active teenagers. And since TJ has been involved from the beginning, it is good that his commitment is now legally recognised.
There can be a million different motivations behind Janet being a part of this. If we knew the truth we could speculate it further but we don't! All I know is that Janet has always been extremely private and careful not to be involved in these messy Jackson dramas because it is harmful for her image. She is a brand, and such rumours only hurt her career. There must've been something very serious going on, for her to get involved in it.
That was my thought as well. But I do feel that her reputation has been damaged by this incident and she needs to say something. She stood behind her mother while she read a statement indicating that she had not been kidnapped and was not missing. Now Mrs Jackson says she was taken against her will. The public is left to infer that those persons who stood around KJ were actually her captors (for the lack of better word). It is not good for your image for your mother to allege (however subtly) that you kidnapped her.
And if the Jackson family have proof of "something very serious going on", it should have been dealt with through the courts and not through a letter to the executors. Hire the lawyers, take the evidence to the police, whatever. Do something more than just writing a letter.
The family doesn't live for Michael and his memory. I think each member of the Jackson family have indeed paid major homage to their brother, and continue to do so. I personally believe the album "Michael" is only half-authentic and therefore my opinion on the Estate's honouring is a bit biased
I have always maintained that there is more to the lives of the Jacksons than what is going on with Michael. And that is as it should be. But I do feel that as they continue to honour their brother that they do so within the legal restrictions, even if they do not agree with those restrictions.
TBH I haven't paid attention to the Michael album debacle. But I am impressed with what the estate has done: TII film, Cirque's Immortal, BAD25. Which is not to say that there will not be times when I will not be UNimpressed, but for now I am satisfied. Most fans just want Michael to be honoured in a positive, classy and professional way. In a way that truly reflects the hugeness of his legacy.
Haha if we had the actual FACTS of what really happened, we wouldn't be here bashing out every Jackson family member for things we are GUESSING they did.
We may guess at motivations but certain things are not in dispute:
1] RRJJ sent a letter to the executors and this letter was leaked to the media
2] Katherine Jackson left her charges and did not have any contact them for over 11 days.
3] Marlon said he was unable to reach his mother
4] Janet and Randy went to the Calabassas residence and Janet attempted to take Paris' phone and a physical altercation occurred between two adults at the residence
5] Katherine Jackson made a statement saying she was not kidnapped
6] TJ Jackson has applied for co-guardianship
7] Tito and Jermaine have distanced themselves from the letter which was leaked
8] Katherine Jackson has now claimed that she did not know she was going to the spa and all of her phones were taken from her
Have I misstated anything here?
