Well, here we go again. Yesterday, Michael Jackson's only daughter, fifteen-year-old Paris-Michael was featured in an interview with Daily Mail's Event Magazine. In it, she spoke about her wonderful father, and how he tried his best to protect them and give them as normal a childhood as possible despite the fact that he was an entertainer, if not the biggest entertainer of all time. In it, she spoke of her love for her father and her dreams of wanting to help children like her father did. She spoke of wanting to be a heart surgeon and wanting to restore Neverland for under privileged children. These are not the goals and dreams of someone who was raised by a lunatic, as some media outlets may want you to believe. Michael was a very good father, and that is demonstrated time and time again in the maturity and poise in which his children speak of him and speak of their own goals.
On the heels of such a positive interview, it was inevitable that the media start running around with the paternity rumors again. Of course, one of the first out the gate was FORMER (his own words) Jackson family friend Stacy Brown.
I don't even know where to begin with the problems in this article. First of all, it was Katherine Jackson, not AEG, who first brought up paternity. She is the one who filed the papers asking that paternity not be brought up. Now, Brown says that AEG is demanding they be allowed to show proof of paternity on Michael's eldest two children so that it will play a part in showing that Michael wasn't always forthcoming about certain things. Basically, he's saying they want to say that him lying about his children shows a pattern in the way he dealt with people, such as lying about drug use. What the hell?
Ok, there is zero proof that Michael wasn't the biological father. If there was any, it would have come out at such momentous occasions like the investigation for child molestation back in 2003 or when he passed away in 2009 and it was up in the air as to who would care for the three.
Also, during Conrad Murray's trial, it was pretty much shown that addiction is not what killed Michael. Murray's incompetent actions are what killed him. Michael's autopsy showed a HEALTHY 50 year old male, not the ravaged organs of a long-term drug abuser.
Brown's article goes on to say that Blanket's paternity isn't being questioned, because he looks like Michael, sings and dances like him. Brown writes that Arnold Klein has claimed Prince and Paris, Mark Lester has claimed Paris, and Matt Fiddes has claimed Paris. SAY WHAT?
Matt Fiddes Vows to Take Legal Action to Prove He's Blanket's Real Father
Matt Fiddes NEVER claimed Paris. Matt Fiddes is the martial arts instructor who said that he fathered Blanket. He contradicted himself over the years, first saying that he donated sperm but never asked if Michael used it, then later saying that he flat out asked Michael if he (Fiddes) was the biological father, and Michael told him yes.
Remember this gem of a comparison?
Yeah, I do, too. Because it was so laughable.
Brown also writes that Blanket is being treated for a similar skin condition, noting Michael's vitiligo:
"Blanket has even been treated for similar medical problems, including a
skin condition, a family source told The Post. Jacko suffered from a
disorder called vitiligo."
Another laugh. Michael Jackson had vitiligo, yes. It was indicated in his autopsy report. But it is not Blanket who has vitiligo. It was his older brother, Michael Jackson Jr.
Various family members have confirmed this, as have insiders such as Rabbi Boteach who mentioned the splotches on Prince way back in 2001 or so. What is the point in reporting something such as this? Why say Blanket has the condition when it is clearly Prince? This is ridiculous.
Honestly, I think it's time the Jackson family does a paternity test, just to put to rest the rumors. I believe 100% that Michael fathered his children, and those children do not owe ANYONE an explanation. But it's time to stop the rumors, because it is not ok to constantly criticize Michael for "buying white children" when there is no proof of that. It is not ok to call these children "white" when they aren't 100% white. It's not ok to cast doubt on these kids, simply because their skin isn't black enough. These kids should not be hounded all throughout their life with stories about their paternity. It's time to put a stop to it.
I realize there are people out there who would never believe a DNA test, since they don't even believe Michael had vitiligo, despite the fact that it was confirmed via autopsy. But a DNA test should at least be enough to shut up most of the hateful, hurtful comments directed at these children because of the color of their skin.
