Oh no! I'm starting to think "Jackson 5" describes a criminal cartel more than an awesome pop group. I am probably more confused than KJax as to what is going on. Does anybody else think that maybe Paris Jackson is a drama queen? Or that they're all drama queens? Good lord, whether the MJ kids get emancipated or whatever, none of this is going to end well.

No "auntie" has the right to slap a 14 year old niece and call her a spoiled bitch. Especially when her "drama" was wanting to know where the gramma who was raising her disappeared to for 9 days! (and still missing). My dad, who was living alone and not responsible for three children, disappeared for four days (he was hospitalized) and we were panicked and beside ourselves! I can't imagine that fear and concern to three kids who saw their dad die. And the muffed kidnapping? Shit, drama? I think those kids are Showing tremendous restraint.

Janet and her siblings are the adults and yet it's the kids who are showing the most restraint in this situation. It's pretty sad when there is a lack of decent adults around who are willing and able to put the kids needs first. At this point I don't think Katherine is fit to get the kids back.

Well, Damn (ha, typo - leaving it!) Abrams said on GMA this morning that he didn't think Katherine would have any trouble getting the kids back now that her batshit kids hauled her back home. I'm... lost on how this all works. Did any of the people who stayed with them have medical power of attorney, etc.?
I feel so sad for them. Sure they have the motherload of cash, but what good is it if you don't feel safe and secure? I'm guessing that when Prince (seriously, why is that his name if it's really his brother's name?) comes of age, he'll just become the guardian of the other two. Maybe he can take in Suri Cruise as well.

It'll be interesting to see how it plays out. Since Prince and Paris are teenagers who can make their feelings and preferences clear, I am guessing Katherine's chances of getting guardianship back are diminished.

SApril's post was too good to lose in the dead thread. Shit just got real, indeed.

Maybe it's nothing, but I found it interesting that, in Prince's phone, Rebbie is "Aunt Rebbie" while Janet is just "Janet Jackson." In her tweet about the slapping, Paris also referred to her as just "Janet." Whatever their relationship was before, it doesn't look like the kids are coming out of this as big Janet Jackson fans.

She doesn't get to keep the child support if she isn't supporting the children The clan might have shot themselves in the foot if getting ahold of ready cash was the goal. As an accountant, I flove these Money/Drama shenanigans! Katherine tried to fire the security team for releasing the video of Janet arguing with Paris , but she didn't have the authority because the estate pays for those guards to protect the kids, she does not. I find it really creepy to watch that little snippet of video, because it seems clear that Janet and her brother are more interested in getting video of Paris acting up than they are of her well-being or state of mind. If my uncle and aunt followed me around the house, snatching at my electronics and filming everything I do on their phones, I'd lose my shit and really give them something to upload to YouTube. And here's why Jermaine and Randy are so hot to get their mitts on that moolah. They asked the estate to pay their child support, and the estate said "No way, them's your bills". They need the money to pay off their joint baby mama, who Katherine Jackson had to give a condo to in order to keep her mouth shut about this family's shenanigans. Since they were denied, they plotted to get control of the estate so they could use the money for their own purposes. If Katherine Jackson needs to de-stress, you can lay the blame right at the feet of her sons, who's baby momma had to be forcibly evicted from the family home (and who's kids threatened Blanket)... There's where her stress comes from.

I'm impressed by Prince's statement. MJ raised some strong kids.
