I knew he had put them up against monies borrowed. Fool. Shoulda sold it to Macca. And in a related story: Jackson Family Siblings Janet, Jermaine, Rebbie & Randy Banned From Visiting Michael's Kids
In the Jackson family's latest dispute, matriarch Katherine Jackson is seeking joint custody of Michael's three children. The executors of Michael Jackson's estate, who pay the rent on the home his mother, Katherine Jackson, shares with Michael's three children, have sent a letter banning Michael's siblings Randy, Jermaine, Janet and Rebbie Jackson from the house. "After an incident where Randy, Jermaine and Janet Jackson crashed through the gate and tried to remove Michael's kids from the home, a new security list of who was allowed in was made," a family friend told me. Last week, Katherine Jackson announced plans to file for joint custody ofthe three children with the late King of Pop's nephew, T.J. Jackson -- who is Tito's son. Katherine temporarily lost guardianship on July 25 after a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled that she had been unable to oversee the children properly due. The judge installed T.J. as a temporary guardian for Prince, Paris and Blanket. Also last week, the estate's lawyer, Howard Weitzman, sent the letter, which states, "Following the events of July 23 in which certain members of the Jackson family showed up unannounced at the Calabasas residence of Michael Jackson's mother and children, causing a very public disturbance, the attorneys for the Estate of Michael Jackson as lessees of the house were requested by Charles Schultz, attorney for TJ Jackson, Jr., the newly appointed Temporary Guardian for Michael Jackson's children, to send a list to the security gate of people neither TJ or the children wanted allowed on the premises in view of the incidents that had just taken place." The letter continues, "Given the circumstances of the last two weeks, and in order to protect the children and Mrs. Jackson, the Executors believe that it would not be appropriate to allow the following individuals to enter the residence or its grounds and we instruct the security to preclude the following from entering the residence or the grounds: Randy Jackson and any of his children, Janet Jackson, Rebbie Jackson and any of her children, Jermaine Jackson, his wife and any of his children, Janice Smith (Katherine's assistant), or anyone else who was involved in the recent events that led to Mrs. Jackson's separation from and inability to communicate with Michael's children, or any agents or representatives of any of these individuals." I think Janet's afraid she's gonna have to foot the lifestyle bill for her, er, less talented siblings, who none-the-less, all seem to have expensive tastes. Michael used to foot that bill. Is it any wonder his children, not his siblings, are in the will? And the burnig question: Whose side is LaToya on?!?
