The matriarch of the Jackson fam,’ Katherine Jackson, may be 93 years young, but that’s not stopping her for fighting for what she feels is right, even if that means goin’ toe-to-toe with her late son’s estate.

Mama Katherine is demanding a 6-figure sum of $561,548 from her son, Michael Jackson’s, estate to cover legal bills she incurred while fighting the estate’s executors over a proposed deal. Court documents first obtained by Radar Online reveal that Katherine’s law firm, Glaser Weil Fink Howard Jordan & Shapiro, billed her for the legal services provided.

Michael Jackson’s estate and Katherine have been entangled in a legal battle for months. While Michael’s three children were the beneficiaries of his trust, he also established The Katherine Jackson Trust to provide for his mother for the rest of her life. However, conflicts arose between the executors, John Branca and John McClain, and the Jackson family.

The executors reportedly submitted a secret deal for approval, which Katherine opposed in a heavily redacted response. The estate argued that Katherine had previously objected to successful deals, including the highly profitable live concert film “This is It!” The executors claimed that they successfully turned the estate around and generated substantial revenue through various deals.

Despite Katherine’s objections, the judge sided with the estate and authorized the deal to proceed. However, Katherine appealed the decision and requested the estate to reimburse her for a portion of her legal fees. She argued that the estate had sufficient resources to cover the expenses.

From April 1, 2023, to November 30, 2023, Katherine’s law firm billed her $561,548.48 for the appeal work. The executors have yet to respond to her motion for attorney fees.

This ongoing legal battle highlights the complex dynamics surrounding Michael Jackson’s estate, and the conflicts that can arise between family members and executors in managing his high-profile legacy.

Daughter of the iconic Michael Jackson – Paris Jackson – spoke out about her experiences with her family’s reaction to her bisexuality in an interview with Willow Smith on Facebook Watch’s former “Red Table Talk” show. In the interview, she revealed that her “very religious” family never fully “accepted” her bisexuality. Paris stated, “Most of my family is very religious, and homosexuality is taboo, so we don’t talk about it.”

Despite the lack of acceptance, Paris expressed her love and respect for her family, saying, “I respect that they have their own beliefs. I’m not ever going to be disrespectful to someone who has their own beliefs.” She also mentioned that she has found support from her brothers, Prince Michael Jackson and Bigi Jackson (formerly known as Blanket), who have been there for her throughout her journey of self-discovery.

Much of the Jackson fam’ has a background in both Jehovah’s Witness and Muslim faiths, which may contribute to their conservative views on homosexuality. Paris acknowledged this, saying:

“I understand that it’s taboo in their eyes. But times are changing. We are getting better at inclusivity and being open-minded.”

Paris also discussed her relationship with her biological moms, Debbie Rowe, describing it as “cool” and expressing her gratitude for the opportunity to get to know her better. She mentioned that they share similarities and enjoy spending time together.

Throughout the interview, Paris emphasized the importance of being true to oneself, regardless of societal expectations or cultural norms. She stated:

“I’ve had to accept that myself. I am very lucky to have the family that I do, but it’s hard when everyone around you thinks one thing and you’re the opposite.”

Paris Jackson’s candidness about her journey of self-acceptance and her experiences with her family’s views on her sexuality shed light on the challenges faced by individuals within religiously conservative families. Her story serves as an inspiration for others who may be going through similar struggles, encouraging them to embrace their true selves and promote understanding and acceptance.

Keep being you Paris, pretty sure your pops would be proud.

Marlon Jackson and his wife of 46 years, Carol Ann Parker, have three adult children together- Valencia, Brittany, and Marlon Jr- who all seem to stay as far away from the limelight as they possibly can. I can only imagine that it ain’t easy being a Jackson, but it does come with a lot of perks. Imagine what it must be like at the workplace for the Jackson kids.

Anyways, we had to do a quick update on Marlon’s daughters, Valencia and Brittany Jackson, because we hadn’t realized it had been that long since we’d seen them out and about as a little girls, holding on to their Pops backstage at shows and whatnots. Marlon’s daughters are 44 and 42…and gorgeous! See recent pics of them below…

MARLON JACKSON’S DAUGHTERS ARE ALL GROWN UP!

Valencia is 45 years old, and she’s Marlon Jackson’s oldest daughter. She has two children, her daughter Sophia and her son Noah. She is a travel journalist, curator, and cultural expert. She also is an entrepreneur and is the founder of Creative Vie Media which is a global travel and tourism branding, public relations and multimedia agency.

This is Marlon Jackson’s and Carol’s youngest daughter, Brittany Jackson. She’s 43 years old, and keeps an even lower profile than her big sis,’ Valencia So the only facts we know about her are that she is a college graduate and she has two children, her daughters Phoenix and Savannah. The photo below is of Marlon’s wife, Carol, holding their grandbaby and glammin’ it up for the cameras, with their two daughters. Carol’s aging so gracefully, that it’s almost hard to tell who are the daughters and who is the mother…

As far as their son, Marlon Jackson Jr….he’s now a 40-year-old man now, but he keeps the lowest profile of them all…

And  just for the hell of it, we threw in this throwback photo of Marlon Jr…

Marlon and Carol Ann are still going strong and we’re giving them props for being a wonderful representation of true love, Black love, unconditional love, and all of the above.

Joh’Vonnie Jackson was born in 1974 and surprisingly, Joe managed to successfully keep her a secret for years, while being very involved in her life ever since birth. Even more surprising, was what Joh’Vonnie revealed about what Katherine did for her, that most wives would never do for their husband’s side baby, or as Katherine once called her, the “Bastard child.”

— JohVonnie Jackson (@JNJJackson74) January 28, 2017

Speaking of Joe’s “bastard child,” that is exactly what Joh’Vonnie decided to name her tell all memoir, in a playful-yet-hurtful ode to what the Jackson matriarch once called her. It was during a recent interview of about that memoir, that Joh’Vonnie dropped a bunch of gems about what it was like growing up as the hidden child of Joe Jackson’s mistress.

Joe’s Great Lengths To Hide Mistress & Love Child

One thing we found interesting, were the exhausting lengths Joe took back in the day, to hide Joh’Vonnie and her beloved mother, who lived just 5 miles away from the Jackson’s Encino, Ca. family home. Based on what she revealed, Joe was pulling off some covert, Navy Seals Type missions just to take them to grocery stores and such:

Via Daily Mail: “My life was hush-hush, there was grocery stores we couldn’t shop at, there were places we couldn’t go in our own neighborhood,” recalls Joh’Vonnie. “If we went to watch a movie we would have to go miles out, my dad loves to watch movies, it was a real inconvenience when there was a movie theater right down the street. Joe was scared of a reporter seeing us, somebody taking pictures and putting it in a news article and then have to go home to discuss this with an angry wife.”

“Every time I went somewhere he would drum it into me that I shouldn’t talk about our family’s business,” said Joh’Vonnie. “I wasn’t allowed to have anyone over to the house, I complained and stomped my feet and told him, ‘Daddy I don’t have any friends.’ So he took me to a dog kennel and we bought two German Shepherd puppies called Lady and Big Foot. He said ‘There you go, there’s your friends, play with them.'”

Joe Visited His 2nd Family Most Days Of The Week

Despite the trouble they’d have to go through just shop for groceries, Joh’Vonnie has very happy childhood memories of her dad. She said Joe would usually spend time with her and her mom most days throughout the week.

“Daddy would come zooming through the gates in his two-seater Mercedes or Rolls Royce,” recalls Joh’Vonnie, 43. He’d be hungry and his dinner would be cooked. My mother was an excellent cook. He would come round most days sometimes without warning, he was very much a presence in my life, I was a daddy’s girl.”

Joh’Vonnie fondly remembers watching 80s TV show Kung Fu Theater and professional wrestling with her dad while sat on the sofa eating popcorn together.

Joe Jackson was so settled into his double life, that Joh’Vonnie says he even had a garden in their backyard, that he tended to every Sunday:

“We had over an acre and we would tend the garden together,” she recalls. “Daddy loved to cook the vegetables he had grown, he’d bring them right in the house real fresh, green beans everything. Daddy and I did a lot together. Every Sunday we were at the lake fishing on daddy’s boat. I would sit in the sun while he fished, it was wonderful.”

He Lavished Secret Daughter With Gifts

In addition to spending quality time with his second fam,’ Joh’Vonnie also said Joe would shower her with gifts most of the time and she loved it:

“I would be so excited, he would bring me presents, my favorite black walnut ice cream. I was spoiled rotten,” she said. “He was very loving and nicknamed me ‘Jobie’ and often called me sweet-potato or Sally-Mae.”

Joh’Vonnie said her father would bring her a different doll back from every one of his globe-trotting trips.

They Vacationed & Spent Holidays Together

Joe Jackson seemed to have it all perfectly planned out, because surprisingly, he was even able to get away with taking his second family on Christmas trips to Florida, without Katherine Jackson ever finding out:

“We went to Orlando most years, we’d go to Disney, exchange gifts and had a great time,” said Joh’Vonnie….”Katherine doesn’t celebrate Christmas because she’s a Jehovah’s Witness, that made it real easy for him.’

Joh’Vonnie then recalled how Joe surprised her for one Christmas, when she was sick and he tried to cheer her up:

“Daddy got me out of bed, marched me around the house like in the Nutcracker, then we went back to my room and there was a tree he had decorated in my closet. He can do a lot of nice things, he was a good father.”

By the time Joh’Vonnie reached her 20’s, Joe Jackson moved out of the Jackson family home and she went to live with him in his Las Vegas, NV crib. Joh’Vonnie and her 23 year old daughter, Yasmine, now live just a few miles away from Joe in Vegas and sees him at least once a week. Even though she’s had a great relationship with her Pops, Joe Jackson, Joh’Vonnie also said that she thinks what her father and mother did, by have=ing an affair, was wrong.

What Katherine Jackson Did For Joe’s Love Child After Her Mom Passed

As we previously reported, Joe Jackson finally took Joh’Vonnie to meet her famous siblings and his wife at their Encino, CA home years ago. She says her brother Michael Jackson, barely spoke to her, and the rest were somewhat cordial, with the exception of Rebbie, whom she still has a relationship with today.

Even though Katherine Jackson once called her the ‘bastard child,’ throughout the years, she became very kind to Joh’Vonnie. In fact, Joh’Vonnie said that when her mother passed away a couple years ago, it was Katherine- not her siblings- who called to check on her to see how she was doing.

Wow! So, Mama Katherine found a way to move past the pain of her husband having a love child, to ultimately having great concern for the child’s well being, following the death of her husband’s mistress. Talk about a TRUE class act indeed. And much respect to Joh’Vonnie for sharing her story with the world.

She Needs More Time…Judge Says No

A judge has just tossed out the elder abuse case and restraining order she had pending in an L.A. county court to keep Trent -whom she fired as her driver- away from her and her properties. Why? Well, it’s complicated. You see, it’s not that Mrs. Jackson didn’t want Trent to stay the hell away, but she apparently needed more time to prepare herself and her mind for the full blown out trial it was about to turn into. So she and her attorney asked the judge to press the pause button on the case for now.

In doing so, she filed a request to have the case dismissed ‘without prejudice.’ That basically means that she wants to hold off on proceeding with the trial right now (which was set to begin on Tuesday 4-25-17), but that she’d like to be able to refile the restraining order against Trent for the same abuse claims on a future date. Long story short, the judge was ‘Nah, ain’t nobody got time for that’ (not in so many words of course, but y’all get what I mean) and denied Mama Katherine’s request, by dismissing her case ‘with prejudice,’ meaning she cannot refile against her nephew for the same charges. However, the judge did allow her to file a new restraining order against Trent for any future abusive conduct toward her.

Surely Mama Katherine and her children are probably pissed about this. See the details of what else has just transpired below:

Via ETOnline:Katherine’s new lawyers, Nelson J. Handy and Vatche Zetjian, explained that Katherine didn’t understand the extent of the action brought about by the case when she initially filed the temporary restraining order request in February, and said that she was not prepared for a trial, or having to testify in court.

Abuse Claims

This whole thing started after Katherine filed court docs in February (2017), stating that Trent had been abusing her in various ways (allegedly stealing money, wiretapping her Calabasas, Ca. home, keeping her from her kids, denying her medical attention, etc.) for years and that she was now “afraid” to live in her own home because he’d been living with her for years as well.

Nephew’s Lawyer Speaks Out After Trial Dismissal

Trent has denied all of Katherine’s claims and on Tuesday, his lawyer, Ron Rale, seized the opportunity of the judge’s dismissal to once again claim Trent is innocent:

Via ETOnline: Rale…said in court on Tuesday that he and Trent were “happy” Katherine decided to drop the “baseless” case. “He’s got to rebuild his life. At least this thing is behind him. He’s a good guy and he’ll figure it out. He’s a big teddy bear. He’s a good, gentle guy.” […] He genuinely misses his aunt.

Not sure if the Jackson kids have a plan B to protect their Mother, but pretty sure they’ll find a way.

Jackson family sources confirm…Joe was admitted to the Albert Einstein Hospital in São Paulo after reportedly waking up Sunday feeling dizzy, with no vision.

Joe, who has diabetes, was in the city for his 87th birthday party that was being thrown for him.

These pics were taken hours before the reported stroke.

Family sources tell TMZ, doctors are running tests and they’re trying to decide whether to fly Joe back to the U.S. for further treatment.

The Albert Einstein hospital also stated in their press release, that Joe Jackson had also suffered an irregular heartbeat at the time that he was admitted to the facility.

Joe Jackson is one tough brotha, so if anyone can pull through this and fight his way back to great health, it would be the patriarch of the Jackson fam.’ Send prayers up for him ILOSM family.
