LOS ANGELES — Janet, Randy and Rebbie Jackson say the executors of Michael
Jackson's will are causing harm by damaging "fundamental family
relationships" and isolating matriarch Katherine Jackson "from anyone
questioning the validity of Michael's will."
The Jackson siblings released a statement late Friday through an attorney
amid a fight over their brother's will with the executors of his estate.
On Thursday a judge named TJ Jackson, a cousin to Michael Jackson's three
children, as co-guardian with Katherine Jackson, who was named their sole
caretaker in the disputed will.
Janet, Randy and Rebbie Jackson accuse the executors of a "relentless"
negative media campaign and say they have been barred from visiting their
82-year-old mother or Jackson's children.
"The effect of that notice not only is to damage fundamental family
relationships, it is also to isolate Katherine Jackson from anyone
questioning the validity of Michael's will," reads the statement by Janet
Jackson's attorney, Blair G. Brown, released on behalf of Janet, Randy and
Rebbie Jackson.
They say they will continue to contest Michael Jackson's will because "the
executors have never explained how Michael could have signed his will in
California on a date that irrefutable evidence establishes that he was in
New York."
Representatives for the executors of the will did not immediately respond
to calls and emails requesting comment. However, representatives for
executors John Branca and John McClain released a statement some weeks ago
saying, "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."
Janet, Randy and Rebbie Jackson say they will continue to contest Michael
Jackson's will, adding, "they stand nothing to gain financially by a
finding that the will is invalid."
"The individuals who have the most to lose by a finding that the will is
invalid are, of course, the executors and those on the executors' payroll."
The siblings say they will "press forward in their search for the truth in
order to carry out the wishes of their brother Michael."
Well, let's see:
"the executors have never explained how Michael could have signed his will
in California on a date that irrefutable evidence establishes that he was
in New York."
He could have flown out of NYC at 12:00PM, and arrived in CA....still right
about the noon hour, no? What more explanation do they need? (unless they
can prove he stayed overnight in NYC).
