Katherine Jackson ‘Disappointed’ With Daughter Janet Jackson

Posted byBy Tracy | Published on: CommentsComments (4)

In the latest Jackson family drama update matriarch Katherine Jackson is reportedly refusing to speak with Janet, Rebbie, Randy and Jermaine Jackson.

Katherine felt betrayed after returning from Arizona to learn her children were behind her week long hiatus that shut out communication with her grandchildren for a week.

“[Katherine] is just heartbroken that they betrayed her trust and didn’t tell her that Michael’s children had been trying to contact her,” revealed one source.

The source added,

‘Katherine is free to see Janet, Rebbie or Randy, just not at that house. However, Katherine has absolutely no desire to see them right now because she is just heartbroken that they betrayed her trust and didn’t tell her that Michael’s children had been trying to contact her. Katherine recognizes that Randy was behind all of this, and wishes he would stop spouting off to the press about their family business. She isn’t having any contact with him especially right now.”

Meanwhile Michael Jackson’s estate has submitted documents to a probate judge requesting permission to pay a portion of Janet’s mortgage for her Las Vegas condo based on the amount of time Katherine spends at the property.

A hearing is pending but was submitted before Janet and her siblings called for the executors of Michael’s estate to resign, claiming his will was a fake.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
