Gossip: Michael Jackson’s siblings
Controversy is brewing in the Jackson family over the late King of Pop’s will.
Controversy is brewing in the Jackson family, said the New York Daily News. Several of Michael Jackson’s siblings issued a letter last week claiming that the late King of Pop’s will is a fake, and insisting that the executors of his estate step down. The letter also accused lawyers John McClain and John Branca of manipulating family matriarch Katherine Jackson, who along with Michael’s children is a beneficiary to his $500 million fortune. Days later, a frantic Paris Jackson took to Twitter to announce that her 82-year-old grandmother had been missing for a week. A missing persons report was also filed. Jermaine Jackson later tweeted—and police confirmed—that Katherine was safe and recovering from a “mini-stroke” at the home of his sister, Rebbie, in Arizona.
