Michael Jackson: Never Adopted His Kids, Their Real Father Revealed, Joe Jackson Snubbed
So much for letting Michael Jackson rest in peace. After several emails begging for the scoop, we have broken our rule and here is the dirt. (The Dame is a sucker for begging.)
Not only is there still a great deal of speculation surrounding the pop icon’s death, even more is being revealed concerning his three children: Michael Jr., Paris, and Prince.
First, it is being reported that Jackson was NOT the biological father of the two oldest children (shocker), but also that he never legally adopted the children.
Via TMZ:
“We broke the story that neither Jackson nor Debbie Rowe are the biological parents of Michael Jr. and Paris. And Michael was not the biological parent of Prince Michael II either. Now here’s the rub. We’ve learned Jackson never filed legal papers to adopt any of his children. Legal experts tell us Jackson would be presumed the father but it’s not conclusive by any means.”
To make matters worse, US Weekly is reporting that the children’s biological father is actually Jackson’s former dermtologist (and Debbie Rowe’s boss), Arnold Klein.
Via US Weekly:
“He is the dad. He and Debbie signed an agreement saying they would never reveal the truth.”
When will this insanity end? And when will someone actually realize that there are children at the heart of this matter?
Apparently, not anytime soon. As of now, Michael’s mother Catherine, has been granted temporary custody of the kids. However, I have a little itch deep inside that is telling me once she learns Michael never officially adopted the children-and therefore aren’t entitled to any of his money-they will be shipped off to Debbie Rowe who will begin her stint on the talk show circuit.
In case you were wondering about what Jackson’s will stated, so is the rest of the world, the Jackson family in particular. Well, with one little exception. It seems that Michael left his father, Joe “I am about to launch a record label” Jackson out of the will entirely.
Via E!:
“The document—which will no doubt be the centerpiece of a lengthy and ferocious legal battle in months to come—divides the superstar’s estate among his mother, his three children (Prince Michael, Paris and Prince Michael II) and at least one charity.”
Catherine and Joe sought to control Michael’s estate claiming the pop star died without a will when this one, drafted in 2002, surfaced. A lawyer for the family is denying that any will has been presented to the family.

I think everyone should wait until ALL the facts are known before saying anything. We all need to be patient.
