Jermaine Jackson resurfaced in Monaco after fleeing the United States earlier this year. Michael Jackson’s 70-year-old brother is apparently living in Monaco, where he is safe from process servers.
On Wednesday, Jermaine revealed the Jackson family’s plans for a museum to honor the King of Pop. In a new interview, Jermaine said the museum will hold 200 pieces in an art collection that includes Michael’s personal artwork.
The collection will also include memorabilia from the earliest Jackson 5 days all the way to Michael’s final chapter.
Jermaine is seen kissing a wax figure of his brother Michael at Madame Tussauds on December 30, 2016 in Berlin, Germany.
Jermaine said the museum in Monaco will be called the Treasures Collection. He said the family chose Monaco for the collection because “Monaco is very special for us.”
He continued: “His excellency Prince Albert II, he’s been very close to the family. He knew Michael and stuff. I know him too. He’s a wonderful human being. What you will find in the museum will be artifacts of different family members and things that are dear to us. We want to make it special. I call it the “Showseum,” because we like to give a show, we like to entertain.”

There’s another reason why Jermaine chose Monaco for the museum that he will curate. Monaco doesn’t have an extradition treaty with the United States.
A woman in California claims Jermaine s*xually assaulted at her home in 1988.
Rita Butler Barrett recently told a judge she is unable to serve Jermaine with a summons because she couldn’t find him at the Jackson family compound in Encino or at a Westlake Village home that was listed as his last address.
Barrett’s attorney, Michael Reck, even hired a private investigator to try and find Jermaine. But they had no luck.
Private investigator Maureen O’Connell said she left numerous messages with Jermaine’s ex-wife and a daughter.
“Despite these good-faith efforts, we have not received any responses or leads which would assist in identifying the current whereabouts of Jermaine Jackson,” O’Connell said in a sworn statement.
Judge Huey P. Cotton granted a motion by Barrett’s attorney to publish the summons in a newspaper classification section rather than serve Jermaine personally.
If Jermaine doesn’t respond to the lawsuit, the judge will award a default judgment to the plaintiff.
In her lawsuit, Barrett said she met Jackson through Motown founder Berry Gordy, who was in a business relationship with the plaintiff’s husband.
Gordy, now 96, is not named as a defendant in the lawsuit.
Jackson allegedly went to Barrett’s home in the spring of 1988 without invitation, entered her home and s*xually assaulted her with “force and violence,” the suit filed in December 2023 states.
Barrett said she told Gordy what happened, but he “withheld and concealed the acts, further perpetuating the coverup and allowing Mr. Gordy, defendant Jackson and others in the business relationship to continue to reap profits derived from Mr. Jackson’s work and reputation for years to come.”
