Former British child actor Mark Lester is now claiming to be the sperm donor of his Goddaughter Paris Katherine Jackson, 11, one of the 3 children raised by his longtime friend Michael Jackson, who passed away after suffering a cardiac arrest on June 25. Lester, who met Jackson 25 years ago, says Jackson asked him to donate sperm so he could raise his own family. Lester said he complied with his friend’s request by going to a London clinic to make a deposit.
Mr. Lester has injected himself (literally and figuratively) into this story from the moment the news broke of Jackson’s untimely death. Lester, 58, who gained worldwide fame as the star of the classic 1968 movie “Oliver!” pointed out how closely Paris resembles his own 15-year-old daughter Harriet (they don’t resemble each other at all). Lester says he’s willing to take a paternity test to prove his claims.
But even if it’s proven that Lester is the sperm donor, he signed away any parental rights to Paris when he donated his sperm to a London clinic. Lester claims he’s speaking up now because he wants to remain in contact with the children — and because he has concerns about the way Jackson’s mother — and the children’s guardian — Katherine Jackson, is raising the kids.
Lester said he took action after he saw a pic of Paris carrying a Jehovah’s Witness book on her way to a study hall. Katherine Jackson is a lifelong Jehovah’s Witness. Lester told a British tabloid that he had “concerns about the welfare and upbringing of the children.” “It’s a contact issue,” he said. “I dearly want to remain in contact with those kids and I feel now this is the only way I can ensure that.”
Jackson’s longtime dermatologist and friend Arnold Klein also claims he donated sperm at Jackson’s request because Jackson clearly did not want black children. Jackson has always insisted that he fathered the Caucasian children with his then wife Debbie Rowe, who worked as Klein’s nurse.
If all these men were just sperm donors, i don’t see how they have any kind of standing.
Mornin Ya’ll! My thought is why does it matter? Michael thought his mom would do a good job with his kids…. This dude just did what ever Mike wanted him to do (how many guys out there would donate sperm to the homie?)…. How many children a forced to practice their parents religion and then choose a different path later in life and turn out fine???
Good morning all.
I’m glad at least you aren’t buying this story Sandra.
The sad thing is these adults aren’t even factoring how their claims may effect these children. Bad enough they have to deal with the loss of their only parent. To now have to deal with all these tabloid stories is a shame.
Blanket I hope they get you some braces and is he wearing hair extensions or did his hair grow that much that fast.
Sidenote. What is up with that Pantene ad?
“Jackson clearly did not want black children.”
I don’t think that was the cae, moreso he may have nto wanted “Joe’s” blood running thru the veins of those kids.. whatever the case he loved those children, after all he wa the only father they knew!!!!!
Sending you a BIG HUG Sandra!!!!!
these people just coming out the wood works aint they? dont make no sense
can we get the jay z and oprah in marcy projects story
zzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!! Who gives a ratz azz??? I know the kids don’t. They don’t want any parts of their broke azz biological father. Next.
WOW….I guess people will be claiming those kids until the last of that trust fund is spent. People trying to sue Katherine for money out of no where from cases they won back in the 90’s….Im glad Michael was smart enough to appoint his lawyers over his estate and not his mother, that money would have been long gone by 2015.
Hey Krysi good morning
@ East I saw that story. The part that makes me give that story the side eye. Is they are saying she is allowing him on as part of a deal made when she booked Beyonce.
Since when did a Beyonce (need subtitle & a sign language interpreter) interview carry enough weight that it generates deals. As if a Beyonce interview is in high demand that if you don’t book her on her terms she isn’t doing it. GTFOH and go find a speech coach.
i think it has to do more with jay z book than some deal that was made with beyonce i dont believe that part
I dont think Jay will disucss Beyonce in great detials in the book or sitting on Oprahs couch they love the mystery of it all and yall know they do nothing for me as a couple so I think the details would be boring to me anyway
@ Daisy you would be correct…
BEYONCE has laughed off reports her husband JAY-Z will lift the lid on their love story in his new book, insisting it will “never happen”.

The rap icon, real name Shawn Carter, is putting pen to paper for his first book, Decoded, which will explain the thinking behind the lyrics to some of his most famous tracks.
The tome was recently rumoured to be more of an autobiography – with some reports claiming the book will detail the hip-hop supercouple’s romance.
But Crazy In Love hitmaker Beyonce is adamant the literary work will focus solely on Jay-Z’s professional life.
She tells U.S. news show Extra, “I think he’s doing a book – it actually is not a biography. It (the story of their romance) is never gonna (sic) happen.”
Hey Isc,
I just can’t help but wonder how a couple remains happy, dumbing down their happiness….sure we’re not entitled to know their business….GOD knows most of us don’t care to know anyway, but to go as far as releasing each other’s hand in front of the paps, so that they won’t get pictures of it……If you’re in love, who cares what the paps get. Im not sure either one of them knows what love is yet, for the moment its just work, IV tattoos, and sex every other week or 2…….maybe not having kids is a good idea, until they merge their business deal into an actual love affair.
Krsyi.
I have to agree. I mean I like Jay and all but the secret, secret mess is so yesterday (we don’t care anymore).
I think her running her mouth that the book isn’t going to have info on their life was a mistake. As much as I
Jay. I do not care to read a book about what made him write songs 10 to 15 years ago. If you listen to his music its pretty much common sense.
I’m more interested in Dame’s book. & only if he is spilling the tea. I hope both books are released around the same time. Then they’ll see that drama sells.
@Isc Dame said he will spill the tea but NOT regarding Beyonce lol he said he loves and respect her to much for that lol
Help me. I am confused. Isn’t this post about MJ’s kids. Then why in the hell are you guys talking about Mr. and Mrs. Camel. LOL.
Oh, I get it. You don’t give a ratz azz about this post so you changed the topic. LOL
THE BOOK IS ABOUT JAY-Z’S MUSIC NOT HIS LOVE LIFE. HOW MANY TIMES DO THEY REALLY HAVE TO STATE THEIR RELATIONSHIP IS THEIRS AND THEIRS ALONE, NOT THE PUBLIC’S? HAD THIS BEEN AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY IR WOULD BE EXPECTED BUT IT’S NOT.
ISCREAM I TOLD YOU YOU BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ ON BLOGS. YOU TAKING MTO TAKE ON THE OPRAH AND JAY STORY. IF THEY HAD SUCH INSIDE CONTATS THEY WOULD HAVE POSTED ORIGINAL PHOTOS NOT THOSE FROM OTHER’S TWITTER LIKE THE REST OF THE BLOGS. SOME SAID BEYONCE WAS THERE, SOME SAID RIHANNA WAS THERE, NOTICE NOT ONE PHOTO OF EITHER. MTO MADE UP A STORY TO GO WITH THE PHOTOS AS USUAL.
And you take every Bey & Jay “quote” as the Gospel…
IF IT IS IN QUOTE IN AN INTERVIEW, IT’S THEIR TRUTH. MTO MADE THAT UP JUST LIKE THEY DO JUST ABOUT EVERY THING ELSE ON THEIR SITE. JAY-Z MAKE MOVES ON HIS OWN, HE DOESN’T NEED BEYONCE TO BROKER ANY DEALS FOR HIM. THIS IS THE SAME MAN THAT SOLD HIS COMPANY YET STILL HAVE STOCK IN THE COMPANY AND STILL RUNNING A MAJOR PART OF IT.
That man dont look shyt like them kids…..LOL
