RadarOnline Claims Fake Slap Shows ‘Violence’ in Jackson Home
Yesterday, RadarOnline, which is owned by the same company that owns the National Enquirer, posted this ‘Exclusive’ video to boost their claim of violence in Katherine Jackson’s household.
Katherine Jackson is the mother of the late pop icon Michael Jackson. She was granted custody of Michael’s 3 children after he died unexpectedly of a cardiac arrest last year.
5 other Jackson brothers spawn live in the home with as many as 6 adults. The California Department of Children and Family Services is currently investigating the home environment after an incident at the home involving a stun gun purchased by Jermaine Jackson’s 13-year-old son, Jaafar, online.
The video shows Jaafar fake slapping his young brother, Jermajesty. Nancy Grace replayed this video repeatedly on her show last night.
It should be obvious from the video that Jermajesty knows the slap is coming since he raises his hand near his face. Jaafar then slaps Jermajesty’s hand and shouts an expletive. Anyone raising boys recognizes play slapping when they see it. But RadarOnline went as far as to seek the opinion of a clinical psychiatrist who claims the video is evidence of violence inside the Jackson home.
Done anyone in mainstream journalism use their brains anymore?
Something Went Wrong Inside Katherine Jackson’s Group Home For Boys
If you’ve been following the latest chapter in the Jackson family saga, then you know that the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) has been conducting an investigation into an incident that occurred at the Jackson family compound in Encino, California.
According to TMZ, DFCS were called to the home on Monday (Mar. 1) after private security on the property said they heard a strange noise coming from the 2nd floor of the house. After an investigating, they determined that Jermaine’s 13-year-old son Jaafar tried to shock Michael Jackson’s youngest boy, Blanket, with a stun gun that he purchased over the Internet using a Visa gift card that he bought at a supermarket.
According to TMZ, the late Michael Jackson’s older brother Jermaine Jackson filed for divorce from Alejandra Jackson in 2004. The couple fought bitterly over custody of the children. It was decided that their two children Jaafar, 13, and Jermajesty, 11, would live at the compound with Katherine and their mother. Alejandra contends Jermaine asked for this odd living arrangement because he did not want to pay child support.
At some point Alejandra moved out of the house leaving the two boys to be raised by Katherine, along with Alejandra’s other two kids she had with Michael and Jermaine’s younger brother, Randy.
In addition to the four boys, there’s another kid named Dante whom Jermaine adopted, and Michael’s 3 kids, Paris, Blanket and Michael II. That’s 8 precocious kids living with an elderly woman in a rambling 12 bedroom, 25 bathroom home.
Something was bound to happen.
Katherine denied any of the children were in danger, but DCFS has been out to the home 3 times in as many days to interview the children and the adults separately about the stun gun incident.
Boys will be boys, but in this case, boys need adult supervision and it’s clear that they are not getting that in the Jackson home. Furthermore, Katherine Jackson is too old to run behind those kids. So who is watching them? And where was Jacko’s longtime nanny, Grace?

MJ’s Doc Officially charged With Involuntary Manslaughter
Dr. Conrad Murray has officially been charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of legendary pop singer Michael Jackson. It took this long to bring Murray to justice because the DA’s office doesn’t have much of a case against him.
The DA’s office will have to prove that Murray — even involuntarily — caused the death of Jackson by plying him with the sedative/anesthetic Propofol and other prescription drugs. But the coroner’s report doesn’t support that charge since Jackson frequently self-medicated with a personal pharmacy stash of drugs. Any of those drugs in his body in any combination could have killed him.
According to the criminal complaint, the D.A. alleges Dr. Murray “did unlawfully, and without malice, kill Michael Joseph Jackson … in the commission of an unlawful act, not a felony; and in the commission of a lawful act which might have produced death, in an unlawful manner, and without due caution and circumspection.”
Dr. Murray will be arraigned today at 1:30 PM. As we first reported, he will plead not guilty.
Dr. Murray is expected to show up at around 1:00 PM, accompanied by his lawyers and a bail bondsman. Bail should be set at $25,000.
Dr. Murray administered Propofol to Jackson just before he died, and the L.A. County Coroner’s Office has determined Jackson died as a result of acute Propofol intoxication.
If convicted, Dr. Murray faces a maximum of four years in prison.

Children of the corn:
When Michael Jackson died of heart failure last year, his fans took great comfort in knowing that his children would at least be free to live normal lives. Unfortunately, from the looks of things, it seems the madness continues. This image was taken of the kids backstage at the GRAMMYS with Lionel Richie after the two oldest of Jackson’s adopted children accepted a GRAMMY in his memory. It is a picture of weirdness from the forced smiles to the uniforms with the military-style armbands, to the caught in the headlights look of the youngest kid, Blanket. Will people just let them live?

New Music: Michael Jackson – Another Day
Snippet of new music recorded by Michael jackson before his untimely death from heart failure last year.
An unreleased song called “Another Day” is making the rounds, an alleged duet with Lenny Kravitz. The verse Michael sings seems to be the same as from an older Kravitz song called “Storm.”
Kravitz gave an interview with Spinner shortly after Michael’s death where he mentioned working with him on a song that hadn’t been released. Kravitz called it “the most amazing experience I’ve had in the studio.” Source
