Video:JOE JACKSON CONFIRMS THAT OMER BHATTI IS MICHAEL JACKSON’S SON?!
Omer Bhatti sits front row during Michael Jackson's Memorial Service
For weeks now, 25-year-old Norwegian performer, Omer Bhatti, has been rumored to be the “secret son” of Michael Jackson. The rumors began when pictures from Michal Jackson’s memorial service showed Omer Bhatti sitting front row in between members of the Jackson family. Though friends of Michael Jackson have denied that Omer is the son of Michael, Joe Jackson seems to be saying otherwise.
In a recent interview with NewsOne.com/TV One, Joe Jackson, the father of the late Michael Jackson, said the following:
“I knew that he had another son,” Joe said. “Yes I did. He looks like a Jackson, he acts like a Jackson, he can dance like a Jackson.”
Watch the video clip now!
Friends of the late singer say that Omer was LIKE a son:
Friends of Michael Jackson say that Omer was “like a son to Michael Jackson” but not the biological son of the King of Pop.
A friend close to Michael said the following to People.com, “Everyone knew [Bhatti] as ‘Little Michael,’ and Michael referred to him as ‘Little Monkey,’ ” Harlow recalls. “They had a father-and-son type of connection, but I never thought he was his biological father.”
“They met when Little Michael did a contest impersonating Michael Jackson in Europe in the mid-1990s, and Michael saw it and was blown away and got in contact with the family,” he added.
One thing is for sure. Michael cherished Omer:
“Michael cherished him,” Harlow, a friend of the late singer, said. “He was always like, ‘Please be careful with Little Monkey. When you ride on the four wheelers, please be careful because Little Michael lives with me.’ I’m a crazy driver. I actually wrecked a bunch of the four wheelers with Little Michael with me. He was having so much fun.”
BCK Says: So could Joe Jackson also be meaning that “Omer Bhatti was like a son” to Michael?
This is not michael’s son take a picture of michael from 1975 and put it next to Omer’s you will see that there is no resemblence.Why would michael leave one of his kids out of his will.HE doesnt seem like the type to deny his own child
Please say it again! Why do they keep comparing these kids to the plastic surgery Michael? Unless I missed something, you can’t change DNA.
R.I.P. MJ
Exactly…DNA can never be altered.
I wish joe jackson would go away he is crazy and money hungry and a bad person.
*sigh*
i SO agree…
I TOTALLY agree. Go AWAY Joe; far, far away.
He was on the news just mumbling about this boy even after the boy had said that he was not the son of MJ. That man will do anything to get near a camera. Even the tv hosts were teeheeing him about his statements. He just insist that people think he is a part of that family.
Joe Jackson is PATHETIC! I completly agree with you all. He will do anything to keep his mug in front of any camera that’ll have him.
He doesn’t seem to be at all sad about the passing of his so-called beloved son! I’d go so far as to say that he’s happy, because now that MJ’s outta the way, he can get all the attention for himself.
I was doubtfull of MJ’s accusations about his father for years… now we can all see that he was telling the truth.
GO AWAY JOE!!!
Joe Jackson is a disgrace to mankind! He is trying to use his sons death as a way to make money. Who would really deal with him? Him and Katherine have been seperated for many years because she just got tired of his sh**. It is a horrible thing when one tries to cash in on the death of there son. Michael may have loved his father because he helped in conceiving him, but I do not believe that he respected his father at all. That is why he was not in the will. I just hope that Katherine has enough backbone now that she has the kids, to not allow Joe to get any where near these children.
WTF r u kidding me…what the hell is wrong with Joe. All these years he hasn’t had anything to say about Michael but now he’s dead and he has a whole lot to say. True or not obviously Michael and other family members didn’t see a need to mention this so why does he thinks it’s ok to bring it up to the media. Joe is an attention grabber and he is going about it any way he feels he can get it. Even if that means putting his late son’s and family business out there. That’s a damn shame. Someone needs to put a muzzle on that mans mouth…until he meets his maker and answers for his sins.
R.I.P MICHAEL…
I see what your saying but putting a gun in the mans mouth is a bit to harsh…
You read the comment wrong. The muzzles around a dog’s mouth (lol).
Aimee I have to agree with ya on this one. He doesn’t resemble the other kids nor Michael in his younger years. Maybe he was a special person to Michael and was allowed to sit with family. He could be Blanket’s brother from the same mother, who knows. Joe is a vicious mean controlling freak and Katherine is just as much at blame. No wonder the whole family is messed up, lawdy, let the man body rest in peace first. What happened between Jermaine and Janet? can’t believe they’re not together.
He doesn’t resemble the other kids?!?!? And the other kids don’t resemble Michael Jackson! I’m so sick of people on here swearing that those little white kids are Michael’s biological children. FREAKING NEWS FLASH: PLASTIC SURGERY DOES NOT CHANGE DNA! Michael Jackson was a dark complexioned, wide nosed, nappy headed cute black boy and any biological child of his would have favored THAT MICHAEL JACKSON. Those little stringy haired, blued eyed, narrow lipped kids are not his. Any fool can see that. Stop reaching! That’s like when Michael said Paris gets her blue eyes from Joe… Are you serious? Come on!!!
there is so much ignorance in this post i don’t even know where to begin.
first of all michaels children are not stringy haired, blued eyed and narrow lipped
lets start with paris. if you have ever look at pictures of her her hair is not stringy. Its actually really thick and loosly curled/wavy. i see mixed kids all the time with her kind of hair. at the memorial her hair was probably straightened and styled like most little girls have done at a special event. secondly rather you want to believe it or not joe jackson does have light eyes.they are gray or blue or green or whatever depending on the lighting. he has always had light eyes they are not contact lenses. he may not have a white parent but he definately has some mixed ancestry.
lets move on to prince. if you ever look at him you would know they he does NOT have Narrow lips. his lips are full and plump. in fact his lips look just like michaels lips. michaels lips were never huge anyway they were just full. secondly prince in no way has blue eyes. his eyes are almost black. and his eyes and shaped the same as michaels. on top of that he looks like michael. and there are many people on this site who will agree with me.
with blanket the same thing as prince. if you think blanket is white you are blind. he could not pass for white to save his little life.
all those kids look mixed. prince and paris are about 3 shades darker than debbie rowe.
tO FINISH MY POST: If you truly believe that these are MJ biological children There’s a gold bridge in San Francisco that I want to sell you. Get Real. Halle Barry is biracial and her boyfriend is White and these kids have none of the curled hair nor brown complexion as her baby. What kinds of glasses are you wearing?
shut up khrish hill you are a deranged obsessed hater. you are on every mj post. if you hate him so much why do you read post about him. go away. you are pathetic. You are not god. just because you say those are not his kids doesn’t mean that that they aren’t. do you understand that. you write as many long winded essays as you want. if those are his children, than they are and theres nothing you can do about it.
and to plain mean. i will not respond to you you any more. you sound even more hate filled. the khrish hill. you are the reason why black artist and legends never get the kind of recognition and respect that white ones get. because [word omitted] listen to evey thing the white media says and began to hate our black artist just like they want us too. you are so ignorant that you don’t realize that michael is the only black artist that comes close to being recognized like elvis presly, even though the media tried to destroy him. do you see people celebrating james brown like they did elvis, even though elvis STOLE from james and other black artist. no. why, because white people stick by their kind and support them. and [word omitted] treat their like animals. the media wanted you to hate michael and succeded that is exactly why black folks will never get anywhere and never have anything. cause they tear down there own kind.
KELLY’ This is an open post. For your information, I don’t hate MJ. I thought that he was a excellent artist. Why are you angry at me because I am not agree with you about the children. I see what I see. And though I admired the talent of MJ I’m not blind. What is it so hard for you to accept that this man wanted no Black children. Why does that make you angry with me. I didn’t do it. And you know nothing about any artists that I have knocked. I am a supporter of the arts and especially Black Artist, with my mouth, my writing and my purse. What have you done for a Black artist lately. I will say what I chose as long as I a not breaking the rules of this site. If you don’t like, hey, don’t read it. You act like they are your children. Because MJ chose the children he wanted doesn’t make anyone hate him; but it makes you iffy as a fan if you are unable to accept his choice.
KELLY” Who gives a crap about Elvis Pressley. He never meant anything to me. He’s just someone that white folk tried to proclaim a great singer. He in no way touches the kind of artist that MJ was. It is disgraceful that you should even allow your mind to put the two names in the same sentence. You must be the one who listens to the WHITE MEDIA. Elvis Pressly. How dare you!
So based off one person it is impossible? I’ve seen white children with blue eyes born to brown skinned, coarse haired women more than once, and they weren’t surragates, either!
Chick please, those kids are WHITE!!! With the exception of Blanket who although may not be white, still looks absolutely NOTHING like Michael Jackson. First of all, be serious. Michael Jackson hated the way he looked and had an obvious obsession with white people, from the paintings of white kids and angels that covered his home, to his freakishly narrow nose, to the buying of 2 little WHITE KIDS. Michael always had issues with how he looked and I do not believe that he would have even wanted biological kids for that reason. He found that ugly Debbie Rowe and paid her to have kids for him from a white sperm donor and the results were Prince and Paris! They are indeed his kids because he loved and raised them, but anyone that looks at them and see Michael Jackson (not taking skin complexion into consideration) is either a fool or blind!!! The Jacksons have very distinctive features and not ONE of those features are in any of those kids!!! Period.
TO KELLY: B, who the hell are the people that worked their hardest to tear Michael down? It wasn’t black people, it was white people. That was Michael’s downfall, surrounding himself with a bunch of white people and pushing his family away. I’m the reason black artists don’t get the kind of recognition and respect as white artists and I listen to the white media??? Because I question the man’s mental state? You have to be a fanatic dumbazz to not realize that Michael was a mentally ill man! I absolutely love Michael and his music, and so did his family which is why they tried to get him help and he pushed them away. When you care about someone you don’t just sit by and watch them destroy themselves but when they have the money he had, there’s not much you can do about it. That isn’t taking anything from his music or his accomplishments, it’s simply the truth. Michael had identity issues, and they were deep and in my personal opinion it shows in his plastic surgery, his hair, the company he kept, and in the little white kids that he bought! So B, who the F are YOU calling ignorant? Black people never treated Michael like an animal and never hated him! He tried so hard to make white people love him that he killed himself while doing it and we always embraced him even when they tried to crucify his azz over and over again, so get your facts right!!! Bytch.
Kelley, I so agree with you about Micheal’s children and anyone can look at these kids and see that they are mixed race. I have a nephew who is half German/African American and he has blond hair and has a lighter complexion than Paris & Prince. Blanket looks exactly like Michael when he was younger, just look at his eyes because they never lie. At any rate, rather Micheal was the BIO Dad or not he was their Father in every sense of the word. These children loved their DAD so much and for people to speculate the parentage of these kid is very cruel. Just think, How would you feel if it were your FATHER everyone were bad mouthing every day. This man has passed on to his other life and that should be respected. Growing up we learned to never speak ill of the dead and that was out of respect. R.I.P. Micheal Will never forget you…..
WELL, YOU ARE SO FUNNY THINKING THESE KIDS ARE MJ’S. IF YOU PUT A PICTURE OF MJ DERMATOLIGIST NEXT TO PARIS , IT LOOKS LIKE THAT MAN SPIT HER OUT. BESIDES HE HAS ALREADY ADMITTED THAT HE WAS THE FATHER OF BOTH PARIS AND PRINCE. WAKE UP GIRL THESE KIDS ARE WHITE NOT MIKE’S
I AGREE WITH KELLY THESE KIDS ARE MJ’S AND THEY DO LOOK MIXED WHETHER YOU LIKE IT ARE NOT THESES ARE HIS KIDS AND PLAINMEAN YOU ARE SO IGNORANT IT’S OBVIOUS YOU CAME ON THIS SITE ESPECIALLY IN THIS POST JUST TO BE AN IGNORANT A-HOLE.GET A LIFE AND STOP CYBER BANGING.GROW UP!!
Thank you PLAIN MEAN even Stevie Wonder can see that these children are white.
joe is a nasty piece of work
Maybe the kid is Michael’s son. Remember, Omer’s mom (Pia Bhatti) is married to a Pakistani. I know first-hand how hot-blooded Pakistani men can be. Do you really think Pia would readily publicly admit having an affair with Jackson? Perhaps Omer is denying Michael’s his dad to protect his mom. It is also said that Pia is the mother of Blanket. Perhaps Omer is denying paternity to protect this confidentiality agreement also. People have their reasons but I agree, Joe Jackson needs to shut up. Michael’s kids, known or unknown, need to be left alone to live their own lives as they choose.
KINNERETH
Im sorry im a HUGE michael jackson fan I was one before he passed.But im sorry to say none of these children are mikes biological children.and for the record Joe Jackson is not of Mixed race I dont know Where you People are getting your facts.I have seen pictures of both sets of micahel’s grandparents on a MJ fansite and both of them are BLACK.Lets not be in denial about this just becuase these are not mikes biological children it does not make him less of a father or man.There are a lot of people in Hollywood that adopt and nothing is said.So what makes michael so different.HE wanted to be a father and didnt want to wait for the perfect woman to come alone.As long as these children were loved I dont see what the issue is .He was daddy to them and that is all that matters
Thank you Aimee!!! None of those kids are Michael’s biological children. Even if Michael had a child with a white woman, he or she would have been brown skinned and with some very black features because Michael was darker complexioned with a wide nose and thick lips!!! I don’t know if people are in denial, fanatics, or just on the bandwagon, but it is ridiculous to look at those kids and say “I see Michael in their eyes”!!! Lol. I also believe that Paris and Prince have different fathers because they do not favor each other at all!
This is all killing me Michael Jackson had no biological kids!!! Mikes DNA is of a black man just because his skin is white doesnt mean his kids would be white he has a skin condition people! Those caucasian kids arent really his WAKE UP!
I guess Quincy Jones’ daughters aren’t his either. Michael Jackson’s parents are of mixed racial heritage: Katherine has Native-American heritage, and Joe father’s was a mulatto. Joe Jackson has green eyes. And Prince Michael has vitiligo just like his dad. Those kids are 100% his. Stop believing the lies.
I agree with everything you say. These children are obviously MJ’s, and obviously mixed! MJ’s parents have many different races in them, and as such his children have many different genes to pull from. Anyone who says otherwise is just ignorant! Let’s not one-drop here! Black phenotype doesn’t equal black genotype!!
Besides, basic genetics prove that not only could MJ have had a blue eyed child, but the blue eyed gene must have come from HIM! Debbie Rowe could only give a blue eyed gene to her child, so MJ must have also given his blue eyed (recessive) gene to Paris.
I also don’t know where all this “white kid” talk is coming from! Am I looking at the same kids here? Because I certainly don’t see Caucasian children here. I see dark-skinned, and dark-eyed (in 2 cases at least), mixed-looking children!
RIP Michael Jackson. We’ll love you forever! We know those babies are all yours and you loved them!

Amen Breeze! I don’t know why these people are so insistent that MJ had biological children. Those are white children that he has claimed because he paid for them. Why do people get so upset because MJ did not want Black children. They are going to make these children be his by blood and they simply are not. He would have to challenge the laws of nature to have 3 children in a biracial relationship and all the children offed that strong Jackson gene and are all white. I won’t say “never” but that would be rare. That didn’t happen to Stacy Dash who is biracial herself and married to a white man. She has two kids and one is brown and the other is white with blonde curly hair. These children were not affected by skin color nor hair. Have you seen that big old afro that MJ had in the 80s. There hair is straight without one crimp or curl. None are so blind as those who refuse to see. Thanks Breeze for seeing what I see.
Oh I’m sorry. I didn’t realize you spent every night in bed with MJ and Rowe. To be so definite about the topic you must have spent a considerable amount of time alone with the couple to prove your theories. However if not just say you don’t believe it and done, let it go. It doesn’t affect you or anyone else, not even me, who is or isn’t the biological parents of these children.
Are you, then, saying that you did and that’s how you know they are? Not a good retort unless you can say that you were in bed with them.
I never said that I did know. I said this statement (a bit inappropriate agreed, I was annoyed at the time) because she was so absolute about it. As if she knew for sure and it was written in stone. Truth is no one knows for sure. So say your opinion yes but do not approach it like its fact.
You left that wide open Toya. I had to sneak that one in. LOL
I think Joe is saying that because he want someone on his Label and is clearly looking for the next talent. The boy himself said he is not Michael Sons but feel as if he is because they were really close. Michael was never the person to forget about his son or any kids. I highly doubt he would have left someone out of his will and not see them for a long period of time if that was his son. Michael Jackson having a One Night Stand seems strange. They guy didnt even have a normal Sex Life to me but he has time to have a One Night Stand with a lady?
Its all BS to me.
All I can say is that if you see a family member or friend showing signs of mental illness please get them some help………which I really Joe needs in general
this kid does look like michael….. POST SURGERY! anybody can go and get plastic surgery to look like someone, and all the jacksons have had plastic surgery! so, if he looks like a jackson, that means he has probably had surgery! anyways, i dont believe for one second that this is michael jackson’s son.
The kid already said he was not michaels sons so what is joe Smoking?
Yes. I believe that he is MJ’s son as much as I believe that Joe Jackson never beat Michael before.
Someone really needs to put a muzzle on that man!
I agree! Unless a blood test confirms it, I’m not believing ANYTHING that JohnCrow Joe has to say.
OMER SAID HES NOT M.J SON GOOD ANYWAY END OF STORY AND JOE CALM DOWN ALWAYS GOT MONEY ON THE MIND WHICH IS FINE BUT CHILL ON THIS LOL.
im tired of all these jacksons, only ones i cared for were mj and janet…and notice they know how to stay out the media
I’m with memasniece on this one.
Have the doubter of Jackson’s paternity brought DNA evidence to back up their claims? Joe Jackson is of mixed descent, please read some of my former post so I don’t have to go into the same spew once again as to how a said person of AFRICAN AMERICAN ancestry can produce children in the image of Prince and Paris. Genetically the classifications of European whiteness and African blackness cannot be determined based upon the naked eye, and by saying such you are also challenging Quincy Jones’s paternity, Wentworth Miller’s parentage, Grady Sizemore, Jan Siva, and several other recent mixed race people who look caucasian by appearance.
As I stated before, as far as I’m concerned, they’re Jackson’s children regardless of whether or not a biology is shared. However, if there are those that claim that they are not based upon appearance alone, a dna report would suffice. What percentage of Michael’s dna was caucasian verses black? Other then being arrested for breaking in his home while black, Skip Gates found out the majority of his dna was European and non African.
So please give us real facts that do not come from one’s own subjective opinion, Fox News, or British tabloid.
joe jackson has BLACK parents …where are you guys getting this “joe jackson was mixed”crap I wish I had the link that shows that has a picture of joe jacksons parents posted .I will find it when I get home.Both his parents are black
You are asking for facts from us non believers but you are not giving facts as a believer. We all know that he is their father in dead but we are not talking about that. Why does it anger you that MJ did not want Black children? That was his right. I simply say that the statistic are against the likelihood of a biracial marriage producing that many children and two of them by the same woman, with no trace of Black Genes not even as far as the texture of hair. You are blinding youself to the scientific facts. Go and Google Joe and Katherine Jackson and tell us where it shows that their were white parents. Quincey Jones Mom was not black. Why did J.Jackson skip all those other grandchildren, few of them with Black mothers and only show the purity in MJ’s children. You are not being rational. The man loved the children. they are his, he paid her for them; He loves them, we all believe that. But the law of genetics is not on your side as for as them being biologically his. Where did you read your stuff. The media doesn’t even discuss the possiblity of these being MJ children; the even know better than that. Please be rational. What’s wrong with him wanting white kids? Many White actors adopt Black kids..are you going to say that they had a Black parent and that’s why the kids look Black, No. Get over it yourself. My grandfather was full blooded cherokee but I am Black. Why is MJ different than everybody else? WAke up!
I dont care if michael kids were white purple or blue that was his business why would I be angry…But lets not be delusional Paris Blanket and Prince or michaels kids just not biological.and it doenst make him less of a parent.But lets not be delusional none of his children have black in them …and when I get home I will post the link that has both sets of michael grandparents so you can stop posting the rumor that mikes dad was mixed
Sorry I think the last message posted before I could finish. My point is everyone keeps saying it doesn’t matter if he was the bio parent he loved them and that’s all that matters. But everyone still keeps bringing it up. If it didn’t matter to people why is everyone still talking about it and trying to prove it either way? I really wish I could go to a Jackson post without this topic creeping in to conversation.
Because it is speculative conversation. Us doubters accept the fact that he is their father in name..However we find it hard for those of your who believe the biological thing to look at these children and actually make yourselves believe that there is anything biracial about these children. Black is a strong gene and Jacksons have a strong gene. The children have absolutely nothing about them that would suggest that they are of the Jackson Blood nor the Black race. Not even a curled hair. We keep talking about it because we can’t believe that you all can believe that they are. Originally, when MJ died the news stated that because the children had not blood ties to MJ and because he had never filed to adopt them, there were questions as to what would happen to the children. Then, of course, they found the will and MJ had left his instructions with each page initialed. That’s why I keep talking about it. The others will have to answer for themselves.
Okay but let me ask you what does discussing it over and over do? How does it benefit anyone. You wonder how we can believe it, fact is we just do. We obviously see something that you guys aren’t seeing. We ask how you guys can’t believe it, fact is you obviously don’t see what we are seeing. So the both sides are really never going to meet on this topic. It gets to a point where you just have to agree to disagree and let it go. Move on from the topic and start a new one. Cause let’s face it rehashing this one is getting no where.
So on a slightly different note. We have heard Omar’s friend say Omar said he is not related to MJ and we’ve heard Grandpa Joe say the boy is related. Have you (or anyone) heard Omar say anything? Because I have this theory that he may have told his friend that he was not related but upon hearing Joseph confirming it for him he may come out now and say he is related. If for nothing other than publicity. He is an entertainer.
If Joe’s father is biracial, Joe is still racially mixed–he got his light colored eyes from his white ancestor.
If your grandfather is a full-blooded native American, then you are a racially mixed black woman. The “Indian” gene doesn’t just disappear–you are a 1/4 native American and just as racially mixed as most African Americans and afro-Caribbeans…the mixture doesn’t mean you are not considered black ethnically.
It seems in the US, black Americans can only accept two terms–black or white–everything in between has to find a home in one of these camps…it doesn’t mean the rest of the world agrees but whatever makes you happy is what counts.
You want facts Barlow? Here’s the facts: Wentworth Miller’s father is not full African American, he’s a small part and also mixed with German, Jewish, and other white ancestry; this leads to Wentworth’s very fair complexion and straight hair. Michael’s parents are not mixed, at least no more than your average African Americans. Grady Sizemore may be light complexioned, but his hair is rather curly or kinky even! Michael’s 3 kids’ hair don’t have 1 kink, curl, or wave. And in my opinion, Jan Silva looks like a little biracial black boy!!! Prince, Paris, and Blanket have NOTHING in common with your 3 examples. Michael Jackson’s kids with a white woman would have looked black in someway, PERIOD!!!
Joe please STFU!
To be honest I have never really cared that much for the Jacksons except for Michael and Janet. I used to care about Jermaine, but he seems crazy just like the dad. LaToya that’s another story. I wonder where Janet is, because after the memorial she is the only one I haven’t heard her whereabouts.
She is back in Atlanta filming with Tyler Perry. WHY DID I GET MARRIED 2.
Thanks. Kind of figured with that crazy family.
This man needs to just SHUT UP!He must be GETTING ALOT of money for all these interviews instead why doesn’t he spend time with his grandkids to make sure they are doing ok!I saw him at the Beyonce concert in NJ and this man seemed like he was having the BEST OF TIME!Now if my son died just a month ago I know I wouldn’t be at no Beyonce concert!!!!!!!!This man is just sick!Ugh
I showed more emotion over the sudden deaths of pets than this man has over the passing of his youngest son. Ugh. I can’t stand the sight or sound of that man.
Either way if this is Michael son so be it!Because lol all those kids need DNA test!!LOL but either way if Michael stepped up to the plate and took care of the kids than he is their father!Maybe Joe means he was like a Father figure IDK!Didn’t this Omer dude say he is not his child!LOL it is funny because people are saying oh yeah look at Prince, Paris, and Blanket looking like their dad after he got plastic surgery I am like WTF!
Can Michael please just rest in PEACE!!!!!!!
I an MJ’s daughter despite the fact that I’m 38 and my “parents” deny it and I want my part of the estate.
well Michelle ,Im michaels long lost daughter too I was born in 1982.and im from INDIDNA michaels birth place so he must be my daddy.He had a one night stand with my mama.But she wont admit it I deserve part of the 40%too.
All of this so called Michael Jackson paternity is nothing more than pure speculation.
No one but God, Michael and the biological mother’s of these four beautiful children know the absolute truth.
Seems like this argument of paternity has the potential to out-live most of us we will never know the truth unless DNA test are done, to which I very highly doubt will EVER occur.
The only absolute thing in all of this spectualtion is that NOBODY on this blog is the biological parent to any of these kids.
Thats 100% factual.
True!
Even the biological mothers may not know. They still could have cheated on Michael with other men in spite of any written legal contract.
Ever heard the old saying, “Mama’s baby, Daddy’s maybe”?
The surrogates and donors could now be deceased themselves, now, making the children technically orphans.
We saw Debbie Rowe with a big belly in the past in pictures with her late ex-husband so we know she birthed something.
But we never saw videotapes of her delivery when Michael said he was so excited when Paris was born that after the umbilical cord was cut he quickly bundled up Paris and ran away home with her.
He said this in the Bashir interview.
Can you prove that? LOL
You crack me up too Khrish! I look forward to seeing what you have to say all the time! MSNBC has been running the interview that Martin Bashir did with Michael over and over and yes, Michael recalled his joy the day Paris was born.
I don’t remeber it verbatim, but I think he even said he cut the umbilical cord, washed the baby up and fled with her. He was SOOO happy!
I love that you and I can exchange thoughts and observations and it’s no big deal. Just interesting and fun to do!
I hate that interview with Bashere because he acted like he just wanted to make MJ look like a clown. The one he did with Ed Bradley was better. But even though Ed tried to give him leeway to clean up some of the stuff he told Breshear, he didn’t take the cues. But, yes, I did hear him say that he was there for both births. He would have been they were going to be his. Most adoptive parents do like to be there if they can. That was a wonderful experience for him. I truly believe that he commissioned them but I will never believe he sired them. So like Toya said…I just agree to disagree. Sorry!
It’s okay, Khrish. I realize you were in a better, more talkative mood before being shocked by your online co-writer, Toya’s, terse comments to you.
Please continue to express yourself because even lawyers on television aremaking the same observations/assessments you do..especially about the motives of Debbie Rowe.
I think most people writing and sharing about the Jacksons particularly when it comes to Michael, are very sensitive, maybe hyper-sensitive and hysterical, even!.
For fans his death is raw and as personal as though they actually know this family or knew Michael.
ANONYMOUS I wasn’t shocked by Toya. We always disagree on the subject of the biological fact that these are MJ children. I think you and I disagree on that fact as well. I had to take care of something and so I had to leave. But no Toya did not offend me. You know I believe what I belive and I don’t back down unless proven that I’m wrong. LOL
Debbie Rowe knows.
Well, we definitely know now why and where several of the Jackson kids get their mental defects from…dear ole dad Joe.
MICHAEL Jackson’s “secret son” has declared he is no relation to the pop star, but sat with the family at the memorial service because he was Jacko’s best friend.
With Jackson’s autopsy results just days away, the Norwegian rapper who took a front row seat at the superstar’s memorial says he has no blood link to the icon.
“Michael is not my father. He and I were just very, very close. He was my best friend,” Omer Bhatti, 25, told a friend in Oslo.
“Michael always used to say I was like a son to him,” he told the friend.
“But my true parents are here in Norway. The reason I was asked to sit with his family at the memorial service is because I was Michaels closest friend not because I am his son,” he told the friend who spoke to London’s Mirror.
Now to get this engraved on a solid stone club, perfect for whacking some sense into limelight-loving Joe.
@Anonymous….you could’nt have said it better when you wrote this below…..
Even the biological mothers may not know. They still could have cheated on Michael with other men in spite of any written legal contract.
Ever heard the old saying, “Mama’s baby, Daddy’s maybe”?
———————————————————–
This is exactly what I was thinking as I was writing my other post!
@ Just Facts: I know, its really something to think about. Most of us, even some of those blogging the loudest here, only know their Daddy is their Daddy because their Mama’s told them so. No DNA test.
It’s just like your moniker, “Just Facts”
Thanks!
@ANONYMOUS: Did you see in an article how many times MJ had changed the people who handled his affairs. Even the Nation of Islam had their hands in his financial affairs. They said the court was full of people trying to get the money owed to them. Even at one time Jermaine and Randy had handled his business affairs. They even say that he spent time with Marion Barry and they shared the same lawyer. He must have been getting pretty bad then. It is so sad because they say that their is so much missing money. I know that Mrs. Jackson is reguesting to have a hand in that estate; but it seems with so much missing and her not having access to all the ways to keep making money for the estate, I hope she doesn’t overdo and run into MJ’s clause that could cut her out of everything. I’m sure her attorney must know how far to take it. I’m wondering why Klein, the dermatologist has to say since he feels that he is pertinent to the custody suit. They wouldn’t let him in the court today but he is with his lawyer because he feels that he is a part of the custody hearing. It also said that MJ never intended to marry Rowe. she was only to be the surrogate. Wonder what happened that caused him to change his mind
I just went back to this post today, Khrish. All of what you shared is interesting. I agree with you, there had to be extortion or heavy manipulation with Debbie Rowe and Klein and who knows else.
Like you , I hope Katherine’s seemingly capable attorney can sort out things for her.
She always seem serene and peaceful, but now that she has inherited her poor deseased son’s “baggage”, I hope it doesn’t consume her and send her more quickly to her grave.
Thanks for sharing your info, Khrish. You’re great!
ok..with out joe jackson there would be no michael jackson ” our king of pop “, thriller, we are the world ,beat it, moonwalk and many more. And leave his kids alone it doesn”t matter if they look white whatever but at the end of the day that was there dad and nobody can’t change that…!!!!!!
Michael Jackson’s life as well as his death has more twists and turns than a pretzel.
I’ve ben reading so many different things on internet blogs and news sites that I havent had a chance to catch up on reading one of my many novels.
Actually, this sad situation has more drama, romance, mystery, horror, comedy, ect, ect, ect than any book that you could find at the local Barnes and Noble.
This is all so sad
Agreed. It is all very compelling.
Yes without Joe there wouldn’t have been any Michael, Jackson 5, and Janet. My parents have spanked me my whole life when I did something wrong, but they didn’t hold me upside down either. Yes they might have been disciplining their kids, but they went too far (Joe). They weren’t getting punished because they didn’t finish their homework, or forgot to make their beds, but because they couldn’t get the moves right or the lyrics (does this seem like discipline to you?. This kids grew up with no friends or normal life whatsoever, and that is why most of them rebelled. Up to this day if you listen to their interviews Michael, Janet………all of them seem to be scared of the outside world. It’s like they think they ar going to get hit. They also don’t call their father dad, it has to be Joe, because that is what he wanted. Who does that to their kids. You tell them to call you Joe, because your relationship is a business relationship, discourage your daughters from going to college, because everybody in the family is supposed to be a musician? If you realize correctly most of the siblings have become successful on their own right, without their father being involved. So basically he hasn’t done anything. Even though people blame Katherine I think she realy tried to do what was best for her kids and you should hear them talk about their mother all the time. Her love, support, etc even though I think the religion didn’t help either. Joe is another story!
Anonymous it sounds like you’re implying that I was being rude to Khirsh and that has stopped her talkative mood. I have never meant anything negative towards Khrish. She knows this. This is how we talk. Both say whats on our mind and respect each other for it. I would hope that my words were not taken offensively because they were not said with a negative spirit. Khrish if you took it that way sorry however I think by now you now me better than that and realise it was not meant as a negative slight against you.
In other news, I’m heading on vacation so I’ll see you guys when I get back:) Ta for now!
Have fun on your vacation, Toya. Thanks for your insights. I wasn’t trying to be devisive in my statement to Khrish. I know you and she agree on most things and you seem to be online buddies.
Please don’t take what I said the wrong way!
Ta ta!
It’s all good anonymous and I did enjoy my vacation thansk! Unfortunatly I’m heading home tomorrow:( It really was over to fast.
Toya, now you know that I did not feel your opinion offensive. I think that Anonymous just missed me. LOL Didn’t you Anonymous? I had to take care of some things and that’s why I wasn’t able to respond. You know that you and I do not agree about the children. That is nothing new to you and I know that you do, so that’s not new to me. I look forward to posting with you and Anonymous as I have found two online friends. Have a great vacation.
Yeah, Khrish, baby! Anonymous just missed you and I was busy today, too.
You’re funny and sweet. I’ll be writing, and writing and writing!
About the iconic Jacksons of course!
Thanks Khrish I did have a great vacation! It was family reunion time:) So did I miss anthing? I’m in the states right now and enjoying my last day of no work!
I normally don’t comment on this blog but I think that some of the comments have been ignorant. I don’t know if MJ is Omer’s father but I think that no one on this blog can say yeah or nay. To start out this is not a new story. The “news” that Omer was possibly Michael’s son first surfaced in 2004. Many dismissed it then but it has resurfaced since MJ’s memorial because Omer was sitting in the front row with MJ’s siblings, children and parents. According to Jermaine Jackson, Omer was sitting some where else and Rebbie went and got him so that he could sit in the front row with them. He sat between Rebbie and Joe. Jermaine said that Rebbie got him so that he could be close to their mother Katherine. I’m not making this up. During the Memorial, I was wondering who he was. I assumed he was a Jackson. In fact he looks a lot like Tito’s sons. Omer’s father is quoted as saying that when he saw Omer in the front row he knew it was not going to be a small thing. He and his wife have refused to comment on the story.
Omer has lived and traveled with MJ since he was a child. There is a Christmas video on youtube of Omer with MJ and his kids. MJ is even taking pictures of Omer with Paris. The Jackson’s went to Gary and took a large family picture that Omer is in as well. It was also reported that in 2003 when the police came to raid Neverland it wasn’t Michael that was home but Omer. The police considered Omer one of MJ’s “victims”. When MJ was in Bahrain, Omer was there as well.
Omer has never said MJ was not his father. The Mirror (a tabloid) quotes Omer’s “friend” as saying Omer told him that he is not MJ’s son but a close friend. Omer has taken down his website because of the “disrespect by the international media and tabloids”. Why would he then let his friend talk to a tabloid? The tabloid also says that he is in hiding in Norway. The news reported that he is still in LA living at the Jackson home.
I’m not saying that Omer is MJ’s child but I think that people are to quick to dismiss things. Joe and Omer know a lot more than any of us will EVER know. Omer is hurting more than any of us. I feel sorry for him because he is extremely loyal to MJ.
MJ did not have to reveal to the world if he had another child. It’s none of our business. Maybe he left him out of the will to protect him. He just might be listed in the Jackson family trust. I don’t know but ANYTHING is possible.
As far as Joe saying he never beat MJ. Joe has said he spanked and disciplined his children. My grandmother is around the same age of Joe and she doesn’t think she beat her kids either. SHe thinks that she discipled her kids. My mother and her brothers and sisters say she abused them. I think that generation doesn’t think what they did was wrong.
READ IT HERE FIRST….
OMER IS NOT MICHAEL’S BIOLOGICAL SON. HE IS HIS ADOPTED (NOT LEGAL)
JOE PUT A SPIN ON THE STORY TO ADD TO THE MYSTIC OF MICHAEL’S
LEGACY AND TO INFER THAT HE WAS MORE “MANLY” THAN PEOPLE THOUGHT
BY CREATING AN ILLUSION THAT HE WAS HETERO. JOE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A
PRO AT THIS SORT OF THING WHEN IT HELPS JOE.
JOE USED THAT BOY AND EVEN ALLOWED SOME OF HIS OWN “BUDDIES” IN THE
DAY HAVE A GO AT HIM…FIGURE IT OUT. THIS IS WHY IS HAD SEXUAL
PROBLEMS.
@Melissa….Lady EXACTLY what in the h*ll are you trying to say?
This is not a game of clue!
This is a person’s life and legacy that we are discussing on this blog.
I’ve been wondering for quite awhile about these accusations on Joe Jackson physically abusing his children.
If this is true, how in the heck was Janet able to play the horribly abused child character Penny on the t.v. show Good Times without having a total mental breakdown.
It would be like reliving the real-life abuse that was alledgedly subjected on the Jackson kids at the hands of Joe.
This makes me question if Joe was truly abusive or if he was simply a very strict disciplinarian.
Some people think its abuse if you merely spank a child’s behind while others think that it is o.k. to whip a child with a belt.
Abuse can be viewed in many different ways by different people.
I don’t know…its just something that I was thinking on.
As for Melissa’s post, I am still stuck on stupid.
It is to horrifying for me to even entertain what I think she may be trying to imply in regards to Joe, Michael, and Michael’s alledged sexuality issues.
Yeah JustFacts, I also don’t believe that Joe abused his kids. I think he was a strict disciplinarian and probably wasn’t the most affectionate parent. Even Jermaine said that Michael was never even spanked!!! I believe I remember Katherine being quoted as saying she believed children should be spanked up to the age of 15 (don’t quote me)! That’s a little ridiculous but I wouldn’t call it abuse. I’m not saying that Joe isn’t a little crazy, but we’re so quick to highlight African American fathers who do not care for their children, let’s give Joe some credit for raising one of the best R&B groups and the best entertainers EVER in Michael Jackson and also one of the best female artists in Janet. Joe gave those kids the work ethic and the dedication they needed to become icons! He may have gotten a little crazy with it and tried to live through his sons, but he got the family from Gary to American legends and I don’t think that should be taken from him!!!
Remember that Janet was the youngest Jackson. Some of her brothers were almost grown men when she was born. She probably doesnt even remember her father being home with them because Janet was born shortly before the Jackson 5 were signed to Motown. I’m not implying that she was never a witness to the abuse Joe did to his children but I think she missed most of it.
Ok, I’m convinced that Joe is in the early stages of dementia. I really wish he would stop doing interviews. He’s making himself look very bad. *sigh*
I thought the family had managed to silence him one time but I guess he got loose again. Whatever reputation he had left is shot to hell now. He didn’t do himself any favors by appearing on all these shows letting everybody know how out of touch with his family he really is.
YOUR HEARD IT HERE FIRST…
FIRST OF ALL I DON’T THINK JOE EVER MOLESTED MICHAEL….A FEW OF
HIS FRIENDS DID WHILE THEY WAS TRAVELIN IN THE EARLY DAYS.
THERE IS A REPORT ON FILE HOWEVER IN GARY THAT HE HAD SEXUALLY
ASSAULTED REBBIE. IT IS PUBLIC RECORD. LOOK IT UP. MICHAEL WENT
THROUGH HELL BEING PHYSICALLY ABUSED BY MICHAEL…HELD UPSIDE DOWN
BY HIS FEET WHILST JOE BEAT THE CRAP OUTTA HIM AND AT THE SAME TIME
SLAMMIN HIS HEAD ON THE FLOOR. HE SCARE THE MESS OUTTA THAT BOY!
MJ LIVED ON THE EXTREMES HIGH ON PUBLIC ADORATION AND WHEN HE COULD
NOT STAND THE LOWEST OF LOWS HIGH ON DRUGS. I HATE TO TELL YA’LL
THIS BUT HE DID MOLEST SOME KIDS. BUT IT WAS NOT AS BAD AS IT HAS
BEEN MADE OUT. HE WAS A PAINED SOUL AND STILL CARED FOR KIDS AND
ANIMALS. ALTHOUGH HE HAD NO EXCUSE HE HAD ABOUT AS MUCH AS ANYONE
COULD STAND WITH HIS SENSITIVITIES TO BE AS SANE AS HE WAS.
@ Melissa…How are you so sure that Michael molested anyone and that anyone molested him?
Last I knew, Michael was ACQUITTED of ALL sexual molestation charges.
So, you know something different huh?
And just how is it that you 100% know these things?
@ Melissa…As for Joe allegedly sexually assaulting Rebbie, I have never heard of any instance where Rebbie herself confirmed this.
All I remember is LieToya…I mean LaToya writing this trash in her book which she later admitted to being false.
JANET GOT ISSUES TOO…SHE AND MIKE BOTH TOOK DRUGS THOUGH SHE WAS
NOT AS BAD. JANET WAS NOT SEXUALLY OR PHYSICALLY ABUSED BY HER DAD.
TITO, JERMAINE, JACKIE AND EVEN MICHAEL SAW TO THAT SHE WAS KEPT
AWAY FROM HIM.
OMER IS 1/2 ASIAN INDIAN AND NORWEGIAN…NO KIN TO MIKE
@ Melissa…Just how are you so sure of Omer Bhatti’s genetic makeup?
Only his birth mother Pia could confirm this.
I choose to believe that you know NOTHING.
You keep posting here as if what you are saying is FACT.
To have a thought or an opinion is one thing but to write as if you are privledged to all of this info on the Jackson family and thier associates is just plain ridiculous!
In the future you should really try to limit your post to either FACTS or OPINIONS.
Thank you….
And turn off your caps. It’s hurting my ears. We can all hear so you don’t have to scream.
SO BE IT EVERYONE…IN TIME.
I actually sat here this evening and read all of these posts/arguments in regards to the paternity of Paris, Prince and Blanket. Are they or aren’t they Michael’s “biological” children? And my question today is the same question I’ve had since Michaels death on June 25th…what difference does it make? Michael has been a father to these children from birth. Debbie Rowe was “kind” enough (after being paid millions of dollars) to have the children, in her own words, “for Michael.” The same situation with “Blanket”…he paid someone to be a surrogate mother. And he has raised “Blanket” since birth also. So he was the ONLY father these children knew and will ever know. So who the heck cares whose sperm was used to fertilize the eggs? He loved, protected, and cared for these children as all loving fathers the world over care for their children. Are the children adopted by Madonna and Anjolina any less their children because they were adopted? NO!!! Michael was their dad period, end of story. Isn’t it a shame how he took such drastic measures to protect them from the media for them to only become fodder for the media after he passes. Why can’t we show some respect for his children and just wish them the best life and future they can possibly have.These children read and use computers like every other child and I cry to think they’re reading crap like this. How would we like it if our children had to endure such hateful opinions about their paternity plastered all over the papers, on television, on the internet, etc.. Let’s stop the hate by ending this debate. They are Michael’s children and that’s all that matters.
@ Suzette…Exactly
I don’t think that anyone is doing any hating here. We are all fans of MJ and do hope the best for his children. But this is an open forum and no one gets to make the rules except the site. If it bothers you that you read the discussions, then DON’T read the discussions.
To all of you people who say that Michael’s children are caucasion.
You are WRONG.
I am 100% white and I am married to a very dark-skinned African gentleman.
My husband is 100% African…not one drop of American blood flowing through his veins.
We have 5 children together.
2 of them looks mixed race, I looks hispanic and the other 2 look all white with pin straight blonde hair, milky ccomplexion, blue eyes.
Yes, all 5 are my husbands biological kids.
My point in commenting is to say that a persons looks can be very decieving.
I do not personally know if Michaels children are his biologically but what I DO know is that none of Michael’s children are 100% white.
Those kids are bi-racial.
I know that much because I AM WHITE!
Being “WHITE’ makes you an authority on knowing who is and who is not “biracial”. That’s news to me. I figure you are speculating like the rest of us. Hmmmm!
@Khrish Hill…are’nt YOU the pot calling the kettle black- no pun intended!
How dare you question “Are you serious?” in regards to her post!
You continupusly act like you are the voice of authority on this BCK site…probably more so than anyone else who post comments!
And especially when it comes to what reace Michael’s children are!
You make your statements on those kids true paternity as if you yourself birthed them!
Everyone else is entitled to thier thoughts and opinions just as you are my fellow commenter….
No. I’m not the authority on anything. I speak my opinion just like everybody else. Some others and I just don’t happen to agree with what you and some others think. Is that a crime. Most of us are mature enough to realize that there’s nothing wrong with agreeing to disagree. We don’t become angry and start telling people to “shut up” because our views differ. Am I to back off because we choose to disagree?.
Why do you feel that “just serious” shouldn’t be questioned. She stated that because she is “white” she has a monopoly on knowing who is “Biracial or not”. Why didn’t you have a problem with her outright statement of authority? And I couldn’t have been the Pot calling the kettle Black, because the subject was her “Authoratative Whitness”. If JUST SERIOUS has a problem with that, why don’t you let her speak on it?
this kid could be michael’s son….
i wouldn’t be surprised, michael was VERY mysterious
@Krazychika…LOL…you got that right!
@Are you serious…Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!
I, too agree that Michael’s children ARE indeed bi-racial.
Even if he is not the biological dad, I believe that the sperm donor was either black or mixed race.
Point being that either way those kids are NOT 100% white.
I have quite a few mixed race blood relatives that look like these kids, some look even whiter than them for real!
P.S…it is my personal opinion that Michael IS the bilogical father.
If Omar was Michal’s son he would have put him in the will. The will names 3 children and says I have no other heirs and no other heirs will recieve anything. Why leave him out of the will it wouldn’t damage his rep to have a lovechild especially since he is dead
Wow!! Yes it is true that there are times where a black person will birth a child that looks 100% white if there are with a white partner. Example of this is Eartha Kitt’s daughter. Yet I do not believe that those are MJ’s kids. I don’t think their bilogical parents are full white either. Maybe they were brazilian or Indian. Who knows. Yet MJ raised those kids therefore they are his kids. I understand why MJ kept them out of the spotlight. He didn’t want them to have to go through this. Now they are in papers and blogs everywhere. I really hope the Jackson family is keeping them away from the TV and safe.
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE WHO THE BIOLOGICAL FATHER IS? HOW ABOUT “THE TRUTH” …..HELLO? DO WE ONLY CARE ABOUT TRUTH WHEN IT SERVES OUR INTEREST OR THE INTEREST OF THE PEOPLE WE WORSHIP?
AND BEING AQUITTED DOES NOT MEAN BEING INNOCENT….LOOK AT O.J. IT DOES NOT TAKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO FIGURE OUT HE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THOSE DEATHS.
WE BLACK FOLK HAVE TO STOP BEING SO OVERLY SENSITIVE WHEN OUR OWN FAMOUS PEOPLE HAVE ISSUES. WE ALL FALL SHORT OF PERFECTION….SOME MORE THAN OTHERS. LEARN FROM OTHERS MISTAKES AND FORGET ABOUT PROTECTING THEIR LEGACY. DO THE BEST WE CAN WITH OUR OWN LIVES.
try to help them prove it. I don’ understand Black folk. You alway complaining the Black folk are railroaded and then when someone gets a brilliant attorney, and one whose Black; you can’t accept the results. They did not prove that OJ Simpson killed those people, so he’s not GUILTY. They did not prove that Michael molested those children, so he is not Guilty. Why can’t we accept good news about our own people when we finally get it. I, personally, have never believed that MJ molested any child and I have been given no reason to believe it.
It must take a Rocket Scientist because the state of California couldn’t and didn’t prove that OJ had anything to do with those murders.
Thank you, Khrish! You stated all facts right there! It’s great.
Why are you putting down Black people as being overly sensitive when it comes to Black celebrities? More than just Blacks cared about and adored Michael Jackson.
People of all races have been sensitive over Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe and President John F. Kennedy just to name a few.
And Michael’s first wife, Lisa Marie, was and is concerned as well as Elvis’ fans around the world , about retaining Elvis’ (her late father) legacy in spite of his alleged womanizing and prescription drug abuse.
There’s no double standard going on here.
And if you think those of us who care about the Jackson legacy should get a life, then you should follow your own advice and get a life yourself because you are clocking into this posting quite a bit yourself.
Something about MJ is on TV almost all of the time these days, and it is part of our lives already by virtue of this country’s obsession with pop culture.
By the way, a lot of White people are making a lot of money off of Michael Jackson’s life and death as we speak, and it behooves them to keep gossip and facts swirling about the poor deceased soul.
Michael IS the biological father…
Were you people sleeping whilst taking high school biology class?
Here’s a refresher course for those of you who duobt Prince, Paris and Blanket’s true blood paternity
It does not matter what color you are because Genomic mapping proves that all races originated in Africa. Which means that everyone started as black but skin color and features evolved to suit geographical environment once the huge continent of gowanaland eventually broke apart into seven continents ( platictonics proves this happened in Earth ancient history ) . In actuality a black couple can have a white child because the black gene for color is dominant and the white gene for color is recessive,in combination this produces alot different variations of skin tone, hair type and features. For example if your grandfather was white with blonde hair and blue eyes and your grandmother dark skinned black with brown eyes and woolly hair , their 1st generation offspring would be mulatoes( who in our society would be considered black), one child being honey colored female, curly black hair, and blue eyes, and the other child being a white skinned male with straight blonde hair, and green eyes. If these first generation offspring in turn married a black man or woman their 2nd generation offspring could be “Black or White “like MJ titled one of his songs. That is why sociological statistics states that the average white person in America is 20% Black while the average Black person in America is on average 40% white.
DNA testing would prove this.
Class dismissed…for now.
Thank you for the lesson, Just Facts! This whole drama around Michael Jackson’s demise is a teachable moment for all those interested.
I feel you’re right about the varying skin pigments of all people on the planet, but particularly African-American people.
I just would like to add my two cents to the discussion. No matter what Michael’s kids look like, he made them legal under California state law by marrying Debbie Rowe and conceiving them (test tube or not) during the marriage.
Even since his death, the probate courts have further recognized them and Debbie Rowe by deciding custody per the request of Michael in his WILL.
Like it or not, Debbie and the 2 kids are recognized by the law as Michael’s ex wife and offspring of that union. Michael’s nuclear family, as it were, and as early family portraits of him , his wife and the kids when they were babies depict.
Now that Katherine has been granted custody, these kids are going to be raised culturally in a predominately Black dominated environment. Environment affects our behaviors and the kids will know or recognize their Black part.
If they never ate collard greens, cornbread and fried chicken before, Grandpa Joe already said in an interview they “will be fed the way they need to in order to grow up to be strong Jacksons!”
News reports reflect that Michael’s estate will continue to pay for the African nanny and the African American personal chef, both of whom the children love and know.
These two women, who happen to be Black, will be a big help to Katherine , I would imagine. Don’t you think their Daddy would have wanted it like that?
Paris and Michael Jr. received recognition in the WILL whereas Katherine is the only one from his family of origin that was specifically named.
That’s my 2 cents for the day ! I don’t know how educational it was. Oh well!
Feed and shelter those kids Katherine and Joe!
I’m the average Black person in America and I’m not 40% White. Thank the Lord!
@Khrish Hill….Like it or not lady, there is a VERY HIGH probability that you ARE indeed 40% caucasion!!!
Perhaps your DNA may even prove to have an even higher genetic reading of white blood than the 40%.
You just want to claim that you’re 100% black because you may look 100% black.
None of that matters though because DNA don’t lie!
I think that you are going on some facts that you got from Prof. Gates series on PBS. But you see the prof didn’t do my heritage trace, ergo my DNA remains a secret to you and so You will have to take my word for this,OK…..Believe me, I am not 40% white, and That is non-negotiable.
I put my name as “white” Melissa because while reading alot of your comments,it sounds to me like uou all are turning this discussion,like you do so many,as a reason to turn it into a battle of white vs black.Micheal Jackson fans are not black or white.We are just fans.Why do so many have to say things like the “white” people or the “black” people?
As for the paternity of his children.Who cares if they’re his biological children or not.Many of us,myself included have been raised by someone that you have absolutely no biological link to.Does that mean that my daddy isn’t my daddy because he didn’t lay down & have sex with my mother?He came into our lives and “chose” to be my father.Micheal chose these children to be his own no matter the route he took,he made them his!Period!
And as far a their race goes,I have 5 biracial neices and nephews.Not one of them have “wide noses”,”full lips”,”nappy hair” or even dark complexions like some of your comments suggest “mixed” children must have.
Why can’t you all have a discussion about the matter without making it us against yall?Why can’t we all just be “people”?
@”white Melissa”…some of your points about us all just being people, are well said and well taken.
I would like to add that no matter what race Debbie Rowe is (she happens to be as White as White can look in this world, physically)
she is, in my opinion less than a woman or mother because she allowed MJ to have sole custody as long as she got paid alimony and now continues to barter with her biological offspring for money.
She doesn’t care where they live, or how they are raised, or who raises them, as long as she does not have to do any of the work, and she continues to be financially compensated for having birthed them.
This is a so-called mother who self professes she has no interest in hands on mothering, but has interest in continuing getting paid even after her ex hubby’s demise!
It’s not important, like you said, if Michael was their biological, but it is noteworthy what mercenary trash their White biological mother is. What Debbie Rowe is and the levels she stoops to as a woman transends “race” in a negative way.
I’ve never heard her say she loves her kids. She just birthed them, something that the horses she breeds with Michael’s money could do for a baby horse.
She is a disgrace to her own race as well as women of the world.
We were talking about the children and people were constantly talking about what colors of the rainbow they could be. Everyone agrees that MJ is father because he loved them and cared for them. There is no disagreement about that fact. As far as I am concerned, Rowe and her partner in crime Klein, had they been Black or white, seemed to be moneygrubbers. That’s my feeling about them and I don’t care what color they are the noun here is “moneygrubbers”. I suppose if you choose to read the posts and decide that you find them racially charged then that’s your the way YOU see it. You didn’t have to rename yourself “white” to make a point. We don’t really care who is posting, it doesn’t change our opinion nor what we choose to say as long as it stays within the request of the site.
Go Khrish!!! I know that’s right! Every word you said!
I felt the need to name myself “white” to prove a point.If you read ALL of the comments that are posted you will see that some people seem to be turning this discussion into a black vs white discussion,like so many subjects these days.Some are saying the white people he was trying to please &/or become… In my opinion,Micheal Jackson was a very talentd and caring “person”! There’s really no need to turn the discussion into blaming one race or the other for any choices he made for his life or the lives of his children.It was not meant to offend or annoy anyone in particular.
Nothing stated erases or cancels out the fact that the trash Michael Jackson got mangled up with, and stands to ruin MJ’s children’s lives, happens to be a White female.
People tend to be avoidant/evasive in this discussion of Debbie Rowe..a key player in the Jackson baby Mama drama.
I see far less judging of her lack of moral character than judgments concerning any of the Jackson family.
I think they’re ALL his kids. Being within a “mixed” family, genes can jump crazy. We have light-skinned, hazel-eyed, straight haired(like mj’s kids) family members from the creole side, all the way to chocolate brown with curly hair like me. Soooo I don’t care how they look.
But on the subject…
If Omer is MJ’s, you gotta think about the time he was born. In 84′ Thriller album just became a hit, MJ was only 26, unmarried, and allegedly has a son out of wedlock?! It would have RUINED his career if it came out he had a baby then. If you research this kid he’s been living with MJ for a long time and even visited MJ in drug rehab(hint, hint to MJ’s unfortunate demise) overseas. Peep foreign news, they tell more of the truth. America “sugar coats”
Joe Jackson has turned into the one thing his son hated the most. a money and power hungry person. He would pick money over the truth. Joe Jakcson is not a very nice man.
Well, can you imagine Joe Jackson wanting to sound uninformed? Of course he would say, “I knew Michael had another son,” especially if the media is speculating. He wants to sound “on top of things” so he can feel in CONTROL. Of course, Omer is not Michael’s son, but he and his family lived at Neverland with Michael for a time.
