Michael Jackson’s Not The Father Of His Children, Says Ex-Wife

@thatonegirlsays: Biodiversity is one thing, but those kids don't look remotely like him. It's true that outward physical characteristics don't always boil down to simple Mendelian genetics, but come. the. fuck. on.

power_stroke

She is now claiming, through a spokesperson, that she never gave this so called interview to "News of the World." I believe her. She's always guarded her privacy, and why would she say such inflammatory, destructive things in the immediate wake of Jackson's death. It's was probably an old interview that was distorted to sell lots of papers and advertising dollars.

WhoaMama

@Steverino Begins: Well I for one can't think of a single of his behaviors indicating he might have had any issues with his genetic heritage.

@Spirit Fingers: Uh, Katherine Jackson doesn't really have the best track record with the whole parenting thing.

@limber: YES. I'm glad someone else is thinking this.

I don't like the idea of them growing up with creepy Joe Jackson, though.

@aneyelidsflutter:
True story, my dad is a black man and he married a blonde haired, blue eyed woman and SHOCKING, one of his kids with her has blonde hair, blue eyes and she's HALF NEGRO. Who'd a thunkit?

Jesus.

@MisterHippity: As I said, I would tend to believe what she said, but my point was that the source was Weekly World News. I want to believe her, but first I have to believe that she actually talked to them, let alone that she actually said everything they reported.

Today's widely-reported but now-fake autopsy report is another example. Mainstream media is acting a little desperate for juicy tidbits, and it's harder to untwist the apocrypha from the facts once the fake stuff has been carried by the networks and the major papers.

Am I foolish for even thinking that there might one day be a "true" telling of the end of the MJ saga? How will we know it as it walks among us?

I'm betting whoever writes a Michael Jackson opera will get it down the best.

@jetmore: Two more words: Corey Feldman!

Ok, who is at all suprised by this???

miss_msry

@thatonegirlsays:

News of the World is Murdoch owned and pays BIG for this sort of shit.

Bruck

@MisterHippity: Because the Jackson genes are about as desirable as Joey Buttafuoco's.

DahlELama

@jetmore: awwwwwwwww shiz. FOR. THE. WIN.
(the inappropriate win, sure, but well played, sir. well played.)

pleppy

@lobstr: Good question. Why didn't he use his own sperm?

Assuming he wasn't suffering from any infertility problems, I can think of only one good reason: He wanted his own kids to be WHITE.

Which may just be the most scary-depressing thing among all the scary-depressing things about MJ, IMHO.

@Helennellieforsythe: I actually feel a little sorry for her- she's obviously got some issues, and basically got the exact opposite of what she needed from the whole MJ fiasco.

Such a strange, sad tale.

m4ximusprim3

Could the castration rumors be true?! I don't understand why MJ would find another sperm donor rather than use his own. He was certainly megalomaniacal enough to want to reproduce himself. He even added "Michael" to all the kids' names, I believe.

@Helennellieforsythe: DNA schmee-NA, they're his kids. Maybe not biologically, but he's been their dad from the start, end of story.

When a kid's had one father since the moment of their birth, I cease to find biological evidence compelling. This isn't David Goldman's case.

limber

Actually, I think that wanting to have children was probably the nmost normal thing MJ did. It's not weird to get a surrogate mother. It's not weird to adopt. The weird part was the sham marriage. I think I remember seeing some interview at the time, with MJ insisting on the authenticity of his marriage. Big shocker.

On another note: if the children aren't biologically his, that supports the theory that he was castrated.

Crinkelbert_Fishtybuns

@Scout 3.0: Hmm.. after watching that CNN clip of ol' Joe hawking Blu-Ray discs the day after his own son died kinda makes me wonder if MJ was onto something..

@lobstr: Because then everyone would be reminded that he's black.

ArmCandy

@lobstr: "The pair first met in the mid-1980s, when Jackson was diagnosed with vitiligo and Debbie was working as the nurse for Michael's Dermatologist."

Two words: Macaulay Culkin

jetmore

"Hello, this is Mr Michael in room 42. Do you have 24-hour womb service?"

malo-ji

@MisterHippity: Yeah but why use an anonymous donor??? I mean.. we all know he wasn't gonna jump in the sack with that woman, fine, but why not use his own stuff for the deed? At least the 2 or 3 kids yielded would carry on a true MJ legacy by being part of MJ himself...

..hm on second thought..

No, it's not surprising, but for the sake of the children, who are innocents, she should keep her mouth shut. I heard this morning that she's said she doesn't want anything to do with the children. I don't remember the exact quote, but it's something like, "I don't want those kids unless they can somehow be a meal ticket so now that their father is dead, (and his estate is in question) that won't happen, probably, so, uh, forget it."

Anyway, Katherine Jackson is seeking custody, and the children are currently with her now. Despite her being 79, I can't think of a better place for them at this moment.

Spirit Fingers

@Awesome X: We must have seen the same "Roseanne" episode...

Mymoustache

@Helennellieforsythe: Wow, that was disturbing. Although that last quote of hers in the article was pretty dead-on.

Let me join the million-strong chorus of 'I told you so's. Those children bear no resemblance to him and I doubt they're of any African descent -- if so, more like 1/8 or 1/4, not 1/2.

He basically created children in a petri dish in order to molest them with legal impunity. Great parenting decision, Debbie Rowe!

This doesn't surprise me in the slightest. I have been saying (spouting?) for years that he wasn't the biological father of those kids. Why would anyone find this shocking?

applejuice

@unclevanya: Yes. So if you "first" on Gawker, you must commit adultery with the next commenter that tries to do so for the same article, the "mis-firster."

@unclevanya: That would be great. A huge scarlet 'F,' and no matter what they say no one will ever find them interesting or laugh at their jokes knowing what a tool they are.

Do you suppose Rev. Al and Rev. Jesse are the fathers of the two Princes? They sure got out there is a big hurry. Could they be there to get their share of the money because they are related to MJ's kids?

Ubangi

@pufflehuff: Yeah, but I'm like a mad dog when it comes to that. You never know when I'm going to bite. Then again, the bites aren't that severe.

@ChillbearLatrigue: Seconded!

umm... aren't MJ's kids white as snowflakes? i still couldn't believe that despite daddy's insistence on looking as he does, that a true child of his wouldn't have SOME of his original genes.

@Helennellieforsythe: "Kids, not only is the man you think is your dad not your dad, but I, who am undeniably your mom, don't want you!"

I think Joe Jackson just found his soulmate.

DahlELama

@unclevanya: I thought it meant automatic execution...my, how times have changed...

DahlELama

@Cannot Find Server: Yep, I was hoping we could forget that 1987 to present Michael Jackson.

In my head, he's dancing off into the sunset in his thriller jacket and sparkly socks. It may be very 8 year old-ish of me, but that's MY michael Jackson, and I'm keeping it.

@MisterHippity: Anything is possible:

I felt a lot like a brood mare during much of my pregnancy, too. But getting the legs iced after exercise and the daily rubdowns were kinda nice.

She does look like a horse

adiam7

@unclevanya: Well, the woman IS the mother of MJ's two kids, and his ex-wife. So I think she has a certain legitimacy as a source of invormation on the subject of how her own kids were conceived, no?

Also, the two children are obviously caucasian, so it really isn't very hard to believe that MJ wasn't the biological father, don't you think?

@blumpkin: The whole thing was obviously a business transaction - including the marriage.

Michael needed to buy some kinds. This was the only legal (sort of) way to accomplish that.

@ChillbearLatrigue: You're pretty funny when you aren't talking about politics. :-)

Is Dian Dimond a reliable source? On Olbermann the other night she basically said it was well know to anybody that covered Michael Jackson around the time of his trial who the sperm donor was.

kurometarikku

@WearingBlue4BillyMays_GitEmSteveDave: So, so hot.

Awesome X

@aneyelidsflutter: C'mon now! His dad's eyes are green... But, yeah, those chirren ain't his. He had too much self-loathing to reproduce something he hated.

Marcia Howard

@blumpkin: It was his dermatologist's nurse/no.1 fan.
She said she'd do "anything" for him, and by "anything"....

Marcia Howard

@Helennellieforsythe: And as far as Mr. Jackson's eyes are concerned, did you ever notice that the pupil is always, on the bottom, surrounded by whites of his eyes? Sure sign of madness.

Duck_Lips

Not surprising. Rowe hinted at as much for many years.

I mean yea, come on. That's been obvious since the first pix of the kids were published and it was clear they were white. I think Rowe was the assistant in one of his doctor's offices or something like that. So he must have met her a few times and thought she'd be good for rent-a-womb.
Whatever, I hope the kids end up okay.

elinorwhyme

Another salient point from the News of the World Interview: Debbie Rowe did not carry Michael's third child because the birth of his second child was very difficult and left her unable to carry anymore children. Apparently, he left her as soon as he learned that.

Rumors have long circulated that Jackson did not use his own sperm for his children because he so despised his own father that he did not want his kids to look like them or be related to them. This is also supposedly one of the reasons why he kept mutilating his face.

Am taking that as proof that bitch is nuts.

Also disappointed that Mr Cajun didn't use the gorgeous picture of her in her texas tuxedo.

"Thoroughbred". HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA

partypants

@lobstr: Where did Michael even find her in the first place? How did they ever cross paths, and how did he convince her to marry him?

blumpkin

@PandoraSpocks: No, this is not a direct link. You guys do your own research, I have to go finish a story that takes place in 1944.

PandoraSpocks

Guys, this is old news. She said it in a deposition in the UK 3 or more years ago, when she sued him.

[debbie-rowe-news.newslib.com]

PandoraSpocks

I'm guessing Michael didn't want the sterling Jackson DNA passed down to this children and Debbie Rowe doesn't want to be tied to the Jackson family for the rest of her life.

ohjohnny

@WearingBlue4BillyMays_GitEmSteveDave: So I'm closer to being a "stallion" in bed than I thought.

Wasn't it nice for those few hours last week when everyone forgot about how deeply weird this man was and just remembered how good the old music was?

Now all the deep hidden stuff (and some lies! He's dead! You can sell it! Who can tell the difference? Everything is plausible.) will come out in huge waves. Only the start, indeed.

@Awesome X: I too was going to point out that you require a live cover for the Jockey's Club to recognize it. I will say your description is a little lacking, as I've seen a mare who was tranqued, twitched, and had a leg up kick the stallion anyway. Also, the big boy only usually lasts about 5-7 seconds, if that.

Whatever happened to the kids, anyway?

those poor kids

@nickyboy: I think 'plasticate' is the word you're looking for.

debbie, honey, i'm sure you're a nice person and all but a thoroughbred you are not. you're really more of an ass.

spotted-dog

Also, this bitch is mean. Their dad just died! Don't go to papers and tell people that he wasn't really their dad! I dislike her.

@Yahweh Took My Prepuce: He looks frightened. And I can't blame him. I would be scared too if a crazy person was holding my hand against their pregnant stomach. She's just waiting to stab him with her press-on nails if he tries to pull away.

Did this story pass some litmus test of believability with the mainstream media? Everyone picked it up as if it were true.

I'm not saying I don't believe the major bullet points, but it's only been a few days, folks. Is everyone going to race to every story/quote like it's a fire?

We may never know the "truth" about MJ's life. There are too many people with their own versions of it who have their own financial security at stake.

@Hey_mikey: People who "First" here should be branded with a scarlet letter.

@Helennellieforsythe: It's hard to ignore the glossy-eyed alien next to her.

@Hey_mikey:

Bret: Michael Jackson's "Off The Wall".

Murray: I'll say he is...he's off the planet. Wants to freeze himself, doesn't he?

Nickyboy is now the bass player for VH. Suck it, Wolfie!!

John Edwards is the real father.

That's so wrong. I mean, technically, racing/breeding thoroughbreds can't be artificially inseminated -- the sports rules say the mares have to inseminated the old fashioned way. That is, breeders lead the mare to a breeding shack, a farmhand holds one of her legs up so she doesn't kick and another brings in a half-ton stallion to violently and thrashingly do the deed and never call her again.

Awesome X

@ChillbearLatrigue: I stand horribly corrected.

Limitedappeal

@Limitedappeal: Really? Women tell me that they are offering me their womb as a gift all the time. I think its just sexy pillow talk.

"Pardon me. My friend and I want to thank you for the drinks. May we offer you the gift of our wombs?" I usually say "yes" unless I have to work the next day.

Bitch is crazy. She's like, Joan Cusack in Addams Family Values crazy. Even in her conservative dress, with her mom bangs, standing next to one of the most eccentric people of the last 50 years, she looks crazy. You can't photoshop crazy out of the eyes, and it's there.

Blonde Blue Eyed Children are not MJ's - Shocker!

aneyelidsflutter

It's so funny looking at that picture, she is so painfully suburban, it's hardly even believable that she was ever in the same room with the guy. She looks like some secretary that won a morning radio contest with the prize being to pose with MJ. I can't imagine what kind of conversations the two of them could possibly have had, talk about a culture clash of epic proportions!

But if it's true what she's saying and she's allowed to say whatever she wants, the clinic in question could confirm or deny all of this very easily. As for the 3rd kid, how the hell can you keep private from the world the identity of a woman who carried a baby for 9 months? She'll surface soon, don't you worry :D

@Hey_mikey: "First?" C'mon.. :p

News of the World? She couldn't even go for OK? It cannot be so hard to sell your Michael Jackson related story to the media that you need to go to there in order to do it.

Sheesh.

I'm finding it a little hard to believe she actually said that about her womb being a gift. Especially since he never seemed to be particularly interested in wombs or any of the other paraphernalia associated with one.

Limitedappeal

Wow. First. Also - yikes! So he basically adopted children which he paid to have created? I'm not qualified to judge - but that is seriously off the wall.
