The late Pop icon Whitney Houston hasn’t been in the ground 3 weeks and already Jermaine Jackson is trying to capitalize off of her. Jermaine was one of the members of the famous 1970s sibling singing group the Jackson 5, fronted by Michael Jackson.
Tales of the older Jackson brothers bedding their groupies were legendary back in the 1970s. But Jermaine was the biggest whore of all his brothers. In his book, You are Not Alone: Michael, Through A Brother’s Eyes, released by HarperCollins last year, Jermaine mentioned Whitney and the “feelings” he had for her, but there was no mention of any romantic affair.
57-year-old Jermaine, who is seen above shopping in Malibu, CA with his third wife, Halima Rashid, has 5 children, including his sons, Jafaar, left, and Jermajesty, from his second marriage to Alejandra Jackson. Alejandra also has 2 sons by Jermaine’s younger brother, Randy.
Jermaine’s first wife, Hazel Gordy, daughter of Motown founder Berry Gordy, knew Jermaine was a slut when she married him in 1973. Jermaine was rumored to be sleeping with groupies even before they were married.
Legend has it that Hazel pressured Jermaine into marrying her, thinking he would change his whorish ways for her. We know that magical thinking never works in real life, but Hazel apparently didn’t.
Jermaine and Hazel divorced in 1988 — 4 years after his supposed affair with Whitney. Expect Jermaine to release another book about this alleged affair now that Whitney has passed and she is not around to dispute any of the details.
