Randy Jackson: Executors Using Conflict to Deflect Attention From Michael’s Fake Will

Randy Jackson went on Rev. Al Sharpton’s show on MSNBC to give some insight into the Jackson family turmoil that has captivated the nation, saying that the executors of his brother Michael Jackson’s $1 billion estate are trying to keep the internal family conflict in the headlines to deflect attention away from their doubts about Michael’s will.

Randy’s comments came a day after the world saw a videotaped confrontation between Janet Jackson and her niece Paris, Michael’s daughter—Janet was reportedly trying to take away Paris’ phone, which the 14-year-old has used to send tweets out into the universe about the inner turmoil of a notoriously private family—and the police were called to the home after an altercation police say was between two adult males.

The executors of the estate, John Branca and John McClain, posted a letter on the web after the police went to the Los Angeles hilltop home where Katherine lived with the children.

“We are concerned that we do what we can to protect them from undue influences, bullying, greed, and other unfortunate circumstances,” the executors wrote.

But Randy Jackson accused the executors of committing a crime by falsifying a document. He said his brother’s 2002 will was a fake.

“They know that they’ve been caught, they know that they’ve falsified a document and they know that there are questions that we want answered,” Randy Jackson told Sharpton. “This family is united to right a wrong.”

Jackson’s estate has denied all the family’s claims of wrongdoing. The executors hinted that further action may be taken to protect the singer’s children—thus implying that the family members don’t have the children’s interests at heart.

In the meantime, Paris continues to post on Twitter a constant stream of private details about the family.

On Tuesday, in a countdown she has been doing about the last time she spoke to her grandmother, she wrote, “9 days and counting … so help me god I will make whoever did this pay.”

Randy Jackson said he went with his brother Jermaine and sister Janet to the home in Calabasas on Monday to invite his brother’s older children, Prince and Paris, to join their grandmother in Arizona. That’s when the altercation occurred, captured on security footage that someone in the family apparently provided to Good Morning America and TMZ.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
