Jackson Family Memers Call Out ‘Media Campaign’ Against Them
Jackson family members have spoken out against what they believe is a negative media campaign aimed at family members, one that is being waged by the men who control the estate of Michael Jackson.
Janet Jackson and two of her siblings decried what they believed is a “media campaign” against the family, the Los Angeles Times reported. Along with her brother Randy and sister Rebbie, Janet Jackson issued a statement that accused the executors of Michael’s will of trying to split the family apart in an attempt to distract them from questions about the legitimacy of the will.
“The negative media campaign generated by the executors and their agents has been relentless,” wrote Blair G. Brown, attorney for Janet Jackson.
The Jackson family has been the subject of many bizarre media accounts over the past few weeks. There were allegations that the siblings were holding their 82-year-old mother against her will in Arizona, which resulted in a new custody arrangement in which the family matriarch shares guardianship of Michael Jackson’s three children.
Brown said the questions about the will need to be heard, and that the Jackson family siblings aren’t motivated by money in bringing the questions to light.
“They stand to gain nothing financially by a finding that the will is invalid,” Brown wrote. “What will be gained…is that the executors will be replaced and the estate and the guardianship will be managed in a manner that is in the best interest of the children, which is what Michael wanted.”
The Jackson family siblings claim the will is a fake, and that Michael Jackson was actually out of town on the day it appears he signed the will.
The executors, John Branca and John McClain, did not comment on the Jackson family’s allegations, the Associated Press reported. But they had already released a statement several weeks ago saying that questions about the will’s validity “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.”

I think the media-drama surrounding the Jackson family, which they claim has been "created by others" {namely the executors of MJ's estate} is wishful thinking on the Jackson's part. Since the will was challenged by them before, and then rejected by the California Supreme Court two years ago – tells me of MJ's will in complete validity. I don't know why I care about such things. I just hate it when celebrities think the public is made of fools.

MJ basically disowned most of his family for a reason. His mother was the only person he trusted.

If they would quit airing thier laundry in public maybe the news will leave them alone. But anyway they can keep their names in the public…well that's publicity. Good or Bad! everybody accused MJ for being a freak…MJ's been gone how long and the freaks are still amogst us! It just turns out that familky isn't happy and they feel the need to share their misery to people that don't care anymore.

The Jacksons should bring a law suit against all of them. John Branca & John MCclain and Tommy Matolla needs to be investigated. I believe they had something to do with Michael's death, and then after his death they come up with this fake will. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Who they think they fooling. The family know about Michaels business dealings expecially Janet. Why did Branca not turn over all files to Michael like he had asked? He knew one day he could forge Michael's will and that is exactly what they have done forged it.

I am SO SICK OF THESE FAKE, LATE FANS OR OBSERVERS TRYING TO PUT IN THEIR 2 CENTS ABOUT THIS ESTATE DISPUTE. MICHAEL FIRED THESE LAWYERS IN 2003. HE ALSO FIRED RABBI SCHMULEY FOR EMBEZZLING FROM HIS HEAL THE WORLD FOUNDATION. YOU KNOW WHAT THAT SLEAZY RABBI DID? HE GOES ON DATELINE TO PROMOTE HIS BOOK , SAYING "THIS IS WHAT MICHAEL WOULD'VE WANTED". WANT TO KNOW MJ'S VIEWS ABOUT JEWS IN THE INDUSTRY? WANT TO KNOW HIS VIEWS ABOUT THE WHITE MALES WHO WERE CONTROLLING THE INDUSTRY AND FIGHTING FOR HIS CATALOG? It's ALL OVER YOUTUBE IN MICHAEL'S VOICE and IMAGE. For these NON-RESEARCHING (most Americans always seem to have an opinion about any topic, but—as a teacher—the more I interrogate them, the more I find they are what I refer to as "headliners". They take bits and pieces from the SAME MEDIA WHO CONDEMNED MICHAEL.
AND IMPLIED MICHAEL WAS A CHILD MOLESTOR. THIS SAME MEDIA is disseminating info about the Jackson feud? This SAME MEDIA tells y'all there are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? And rather than challenge the info given……rather than getting off of your lazy a__ to find the truth and what MJ thought of his so-called attorneys and white males in the industry—you go on a board to support THE VERY DEVILS WHO STOLE HIS ESTATE. Michael was with Al Sharpton ALL WEEKEND. I remember this, because it was all over tv and Michael called those men (particularly Tommy Mottola) DEVILS.
The same people on this board (who are TOO LAZY to research Branca & McClain), are some of the SAME PEOPLE who were dumb enough to accuse MJ of molestation BECAUSE THEIR NEWSPAPER, INTERNET AND TV TOLD THEM SO. If some of you idiot Americans remember (and most of you don't, because many of you have a short attention span—-and I doubt if some of you even made it to this 2nd paragraph), MCLAIN DID NOT EMERGE UNTIL 2 WEEKS AFTER IT WAS ANNOUNCED THIS ESTATE WAS GOING TO KATHERINE. Then, these charlatans said, "Oh—we FOUND this will". Common sense question #1: If you're an attorney who documents EVERYTHING….it takes you 2 weeks to realize you are the executor of a billion dollar estate? You just happen to "find" a will? Common sense question #2: Just because a husband/boyfriend bought the woman a car, helped negotiate a catalog deal in 1985…..doesn't mean he should control her assets in 2009 AND IT DOESN'T MEAN HE WAS NOT FINANCIALLY ABUSIVE TO HER. Of course Branca/McClain are going to pull the estate out of debt—it's an INVESTMENT! DUH. This is a nation of fools. They'll read 2 paragraphs and call themselves in formed. Again, I GUARANTEE most of these people on the board would side with the media (and probably did) about the 2005 molestation trial. NO WONDER politicians can pull Americans into ANYTHING. NO WONDER they can't advance beyond certain religions. So plain and dumb. IN MJ'S LAST YEARS, HE WAS SURROUNDED BY SHARPTON, JESSE JACKSON…..AND MJ'S ATTORNEY WAS THE YOUNG, BLACK ATTORNEY L. LONDELL MCMILLAN. This is all on video. I swear, the stupidity of the average American is astounding. Listen to hours of radio interviews. Watch his protest against the jews running the industry. WAKE UP. HE DOES NOT MENTION RANDY, JANET OR REBBIE. RANDY WAS THE ONE WHO ATTAINED THOMAS MESEREAU FOR MICHAEL. AND YOU DAMN RIGHT—THE ESTATE SHOULD BE IN CONTROL OF THE JACKSON FAMILY…..NOT—AS MICHAEL STATED—THE "DEVIL". He realized—-in the last years of his life—-the very people he idolized…..were the ones who pulled him down and stole his catalog. Dr. Murray was simply a fall guy.
