MJ's Kids - (Eldest to Youngest) Prince, Paris and Blanket
US weekly is reporting that The Jacksons are at odds over the inclusion of Michael Jackson’s three children in an upcoming A&E reality show about the famous family, Us Weekly reports in its latest issue (on newsstands now).
A source tells Us Weekly the buzzed-about program will include Michael’s kids — Prince, 12, Paris, 11, and Blanket, 7 — though not everyone’s happy about it. Eldest sister Rebbie, 59, who has refused to be in the series (called ‘The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty’, tentatively set to air in December), “feels Michael would spin in his grave if he knew his kids would be on this show.”
While Janet, 43, is on board, mom Katherine “is just going along with things,” the source continues. Still, one of the creators of the program — which will be either five one-hour episodes or 10 half-hour episodes — says the family shines on the series.
“We have 23 cast members with the last name Jackson,” executive producer Jodi Gomes tells Us Weekly. “They’ve done a great job opening up about losing a brother.”
I agree with what MJ’s eldest sister Rebbie said. I think MJ would be really upset that his kids were being pulled onto a reality tv show, considering the fact that he’s been trying to protect them from the media the day they were born. I mean, we didn’t have a good look at these kids until MJ’s memorial for God’s sake. I knew this would happen – that people saw $$$ shortly after MJ’s death. This is sad and pathetic, I don’t know MJ personally – but I really do not think he would approve of this!
