The media spin has been quite overwhelming and devastating to all us who are advocates for Michael. I must state again that the thoughts and concerns expressed by the Jackson family are consistent with the communications that I have received from Michael. You do not have to believe me or in my work; do your own research.
THERE IS NO JACKSON FAMILY FEUD. If you do your research or even go to the beginning of this thread you will see plenty of evidence of the estate attorneys going against Michael's wishes and the best interest of his family. To be crystal clear: THE WILL IS FAKE and the estate attorneys are CONTROLLING Katherine and her family. Estates are always run to the best interest of the family left behind and in honor of the person's legacy. You do not have to be a famous person for this to be true. It is generally understood that this is the nature of the relationship between the benefactors and the attorneys.
Katherine and Joe however, are not even allowed into the family home where they have lived since 1969. The estate attorneys have HUGE FINANCIAL INTEREST in the estate and they claim ownership of all assets including the family home. They decided the family can no longer live there. This action also took away Katherine's ability to see these family members on a daily basis as they were not allowed to move to the Calabasas rental property when Katherine and the children were moved there. Many people have commented about assorted family members living at the Encino home. However, they lived there with Michael's blessing while he was alive. Why would his death change this? The estate attorneys chose to only financially support Katherine and Michael's children.
This was not Michael's intent while alive, why it would be his intent after his death. Yes, the estate attorneys are very good at making money. Their fees and commissions have them financially set for life but they still want more. There is no need to be so cruel to Michael's family.
Go back and read the leaked letter asking the estate attorneys to resign. No one doubts they have the ability to make money. It is the way they choose to make it, and with whom, that is of issue to Michael's family. Michael's family is in 100% agreement with the designated beneficiaries. It is the administrators who are working under a false will that is of issue. The Jackson family has no financial motive. They cannot gain control of Michael's money, and they have no desire to do so.
It is clear in the "letter" their desire is to have Katherine and Michael's children live free and happy lives. Free to come and go, free to have family members, friends, and business associates visit them. By barring family members the estate attorneys made it very clear that Katherine and Michael's children live in a prison. Think about this in ordinary terms: Does your landlord have the ability to tell you that you cannot have your family visit you? I don't think so. Yet the estate attorneys choose to punish Michael's family and force them to rescind their involvement with the "letter" in order to be able to see their own Mother. Not to mention the damage of the media storm, demonizing Michael's family, and the temporary loss of guardianship. Incredible cruelty by an estate that is supposed to uphold Michael's wishes.
FOR THOSE THAT SAY THE JACKSON'S HAVE NOT EXPLAINED WHAT THIS 'FEUD' IS ALL ABOUT LET ME MAKE IT CLEAR TO YOU. IT IS ABOUT FREEDOM AND SAFETY FOR THEIR MOTHER AND MICHAEL'S CHILDREN. Go back and read their letter before you believe what you hear. Listen to what family members have said in their own words.

1) When TJ asked my mother if he should ask for temporary guardianship, my Mother told TJ NO – twice.
2) The Estate denied Rebbie, Janet and Jermaine access to the house when they returned to home to Calabasas with a letter written by Howard Weitzman, attorney for the Estate, who is not a resident of the home.
3) The Estate is trying to isolate my Mother from her family JUST LIKE THEY DID TO MICHAEL, in order to propagate their lies, financial agendas and to protect a fraudulent will.
4) The same people that are trying to manipulate my mother are the same people that were involved with my brother when he died.
5) In order to obtain temporary guardianship, TJ lied to the court. Rebbie, Janet, Jermaine and I would never harm our mother and we are doing our best to protect her and the Estate knows that. I want to know why Perry Sanders would consider a negotiation based on lies.
6) It is clear that anyone who stands up against the Executors of the Estate - John Branca, John McClain and their attorney Howard Weitzman - is denied access to my mother.
7) It is my fear and belief that they are trying to take my mother’s life.

"Yesterday, I had a phone call with my son Jaafar that broke my heart. He asked: "Is it true that we cannot visit grandmother's house as a family anymore?"
Enough has become enough... After much soul-searching, it is clearly time for us to live by Michael's words about love not war. In this spirit, I offer this statement by way of extending an olive-branch. Accordingly, I rescind my signature from the letter which was sent to the Estate, and which should never have gone public.
I still hold deep reservations about many issues involving the Estate, and I will continue to bring scrutiny and a resolute voice wherever we have cause for concern. But the way to address such matters is through the proper channels and via a private dialogue, not public conflict.
Whatever the tabloid and on-line misrepresentations have led people to believe, my primary concern has only ever been rooted in the welfare of our mother in the environment where she lives.
No-one on the outside has a clue about the stresses and pressures she has been under long before recent events and I, like everyone in the family, adore the ground she walks on.
We are also still raw from the loss of Michael three years ago. The ever-present grief has haunted me with questions about whether we stepped off him too much or whether we did enough to help when a corporate world surrounded him. So when it comes to the well-being of loved ones, and especially our mother, we are perhaps understandably and unapologetically over-protective.
As attorney Perry Sanders has since confirmed, a health check detected high blood pressure with Mother. Rest was the sole reason she went to Arizona. Prince even carried her bags down the stairs and urged her to rest-up, because we all come from the same caring place.
When she was away, and with the children in the responsible care of Tito's son TJ, there was never a malicious attempt to "block" the kids from talking with her. We simply worried that a call home would first entail, or lead to, conversations with individuals we are in dispute with and that would, therefore, increase pressure on Mother -- and pressure was what a doctor said she didn't need. This was why we went to the house in Calabasas to talk directly with the kids and merely discuss arrangements for them to meet with their grandmother. We were denied that access by security -- and it was clear that mutual suspicions had allowed events to spiral out of control. I regret that events were ever allowed to reach such a stage. I regret any distress caused to Prince, Paris and Blanket. That was never, ever the intention of myself, Janet, Rebbie or Randy.
Moving forward, the most effective way to best serve Mother's welfare, and that of Michael's children, is to start a collective dialogue, in private. Mistakes have been made and irrational things have been said on both sides in a highly-charged emotional environment. It is time for us all to draw a line in the sand and move towards peace, co-operation, love and healing. I truly hope that we can find it in our hearts to do so. Because above and beyond anything else, what matters...is family."
