PPB in companion with MJJ did wear masks for protection. Without MJJ, his kids didn't need masks, they freely enjoyed their time with friends, because media didn't know how they look like. Only a few months before MJJ was killed, there were occasions when kids didn't wear masks. Why would kids still wear masks, with MJJ gone?
MJJ was focal point for paparazzi. With out MJJ, kids are not the focal points for media, as MJJ was. Media chased only, and only MJJ, they just wanted HIM on the cover of magazine since J5 era.
The obsession of media with MJJ was undescriptive. Media harasses other artists, but with MJJ, they were fascinated, and brutal at the same time.
With kids, I don't see the fascination. I think only hardcore MJJ fans do care, the rest don't tune on TV to watch them, as they did with MJJ.
That's been said, the kids don't need masks anymore. Simple as that. In my opinion, some do think: MJJ is gone and maybe the spot light will be shifted on kids. But, doesn't really work that way. A lot of people I know, are fans of MJJ music, period. They don't care what PPB are doing in free time, only because they are MJJ's kids :sigh:
But, it is too early to speak about "normality" under Katherine's watch. Definitively, is nothing normal having kids bind in some shady business deals, turning kids against estate (having them on board with HTWF, whilst estate is suing the charity :rtfm
.
Too much exposure to the media at such young age, is not good : trial, Alejandra + her kids eviction problems, HTWF, Mann gay porn producer around.
When they were with MJJ, he made sure to enjoy their childhood, I doubt he engage them into business talks, or countless lawsuits he dealt with. MJJ educated them to be strong individuals, but he didn't overload them with his problems, or bind them into business deals. Homeschooling is very normal in USA. I read that Jermaine kids are still home-schooled.Michael was the best parent, out there, Paris speech spoke volumes, it was the most heart wrenching speech.
With Katherine, I have feelings, kids are going to taste the bitter side of life, too soon, if not yet.
If Katherine would be just a grandma, not trying to be also a business woman, things would have been much better for everyone. I have feeling, on the long run, normality will be thrown out the window.
By the way, it wasn't cool for Katherine to say on national TV, that MJJ kids didn't have friends, and only their friends are their cousins.
Which we know it is not true. Malnik, and Lester kids were amongst their friends. We have seen lots of pics with them, and others, when MJJ was alive, but not many pics of MJJ kids with their cousins.
I wish Katherine good luck, because she is not heading to a right direction with the business, she has started with Mann, and her "war" against estate.
Life is 2 short, at her age, she should enjoy her life. The manslaughter trial, is going to take toll on them. Reality, really hit PPB hard. I wish them all the best.
