Report: Jackson Not the Father of His Kids

Michael Jackson Wasn't Sperm Donor for In Vitro Conception of His Three Children, TMZ reports

(CBS)  The question over custody of Michael Jackson's three children may have gotten quite a bit more complicated.

According to a report on TMZ, Jackson was not the biological father of any of the kids. And Debbie Rowe, the Jackson's ex-wife and mother of his first two children, was just a surrogate - none of her eggs were used. That would mean, technically, that she wasn't the biological mother either.

TMZ cites multiple sources familiar with the births as saying Jackson didn't donate his own sperm for the in vitro fertilization of any of his children. They say Rowe was a paid surrogate who gave birth to son Michael Jr. and daughter Paris.

The report also states that the surrogate for Jackson's third child, Prince Michael II, didn't even know who the receiving parent was.

Jackson's parents have filed for guardianship of the three children in the wake of the pop star's surprising death, though a custody claim by Rowe is still not out of the question. The report notes that because Rowe was married to Jackson at the time of the birth of Michael Jr. and Paris, there is a presumption that she is the biological mother. That would have to be countered by evidence.

Michael Jackson had Lupus as well as other health issues. Possibly thats why he chose a sperm donor. I sure
hope the courts decides what's best for his children.

Who the hell really cares if they were genetically his children, MJ loved and cared for those children from the moment of their birth and the feelings were returned to him from the children. In all ways that truly count they are HIS children. Parenting is more than genetics, it is all about love. It is probably the only true feelings that were returned to MJ in his entire life. It is time to drop it and get on with living and stop tearing down the lives of innocent children.

Do a DNA test on everyone and be done with this.
Everyone involved is going to walk again with millions anyways.
Lots more to worry about in this world. These people won't starve or go into foreclosure.

[MizAnthrope]

wow - this is news? Am I the only one who knew that Michael Jackson was NOT the biological father of his three children? Isn't it obvious that he did not contribute any genetics whatsoever to these children?

[stupidfolks]

Staple center shold have charge $10 per ticket to get ride of some of those IOUs. Sacrilegious my a$$! They owe on IOUs. Instead of color coordinating their gold ties those Jackson brothers should have paid the police department

[mom14527]

Did any of you see the memorial service? Did you see how much Michael the FATHER meant to those children? Did you hear Paris? Actually I think Blanket looks like his father!! Michael tried to protect HIS children from the media when he shielded thier faces, we all may have done the same thing considering the circumstances. Shouldn't we be thinking about how the children feel rather than run thier father onceagain into the ground!! Because of people like you all you see what theyare going to have to endure in their life time! Are you all trying to run three more people into the grave? Did anyone see how the family including aunts and uncles were shielding and supporting those children even in their own grief. I think they are fine right where they are with their grandmother, along with the support of their aunts and uncles. They all have a great deal of love for each other and that is what Michael wanted!

God is Michael Jackson's Judge and not people. We all will have to bow down on our knees before God to answer for everything we have done during our temporary stay here on earth. Let's remember the good things Michael has done and say positive things about Michael or don't say anything at all. Too many people used Michael because of his money and generosity. Get into the Word of God, leave Michael alone, and pray for a better world and for people to love and not hate. Without love, you have nothing. God is "LOVE". Show love to each other and stop the harsh, rude, and insensitive remarks about Michael. Get your life in order instead of talking bad about the deceased. Michael....I love you! God Bless the family he left behind. Sincerely: Dorothy Lemmons

Who cares whether he is a biological father or not. Millions of parents adapt kids, still they are parents. I do not know why it is becoming a big issue.

[reinharv]

I think that a woman, who is named on the birth certificate, carries and gives birth is legally the mother even if she is not the biological mother. Same goes for the father whose name is on the birth certificate regardless of the sperm donor. With the invetro process of egg and sperm donation, neither the egg donor nor the sperm donor have any legal rights.

If I was the judge, I would put the nanny, who nurtured those children all those years as their legal guardian because they have a bond with her and they all can remain together. To grant permanent custody to a 79 year old, who is not equipped to raise young children and who probably didn't see those kids much is just asking for trouble & the media circus will go on for years. I am shocked that MJ didn't consider the nanny but he probably made it quite clear she was hired help only as he did to Rowe who was only a brood mare. To grant permanent custody to a 79 year old woman who did nothing to stop her husband's emotion and physical abuse of their children to me shows she is unfit. Rowe has something to gain & certainly the greedy Jacksons also but the nanny can continue to provide the love & maternal needs of those children better than anyone else and keep them together as a family. I can't see anyone objecting to the nanny as their legal guardian. The judge should consider the children's best interest and not provide fuel to the never-ending WACKO Jackson WORLD and circus.

What is it with you people? Can none of you hear? Michael Jackson stated in an interview that he is the biological father of all three children. He further stated that he had sexual relations with his then wife Debbie Rowe and used his sperm to produce his third child with a surrogate who was not white but black. In addition, I do believe in the same interview, he further stated his skin was white due to a medical condition, known as vitilago. Believe it or not, it is an actual medical condition and many people suffer from it, including white people, although it is more common in blacks. I find it amazing that supposedly intelligent and well educated people seem to believe that scandal driven media organizations, such TMZ have any knowledge about the life of Michael Jackson or any other celebrity. You all probably believe everything in the National Enquirer is true as well.

I do know one thing: None of you will ever know what Michael Jackson thought or how he felt because NONE OF YOU lived inside of him or lived his life. So, no matter what YOU thought of him, the one thing HE always gave YOU is and was the best part of him: THE MAGIC OF HIS MUSIC.

[ladypirate2]

Have you even seen his children? Black people do not produce white children, especially blonde white children!

[realnews12]

Well, yes they sometimes do. Google "black and white twins" to see some amazing examples of...well...black and white TWINS, produced occasionally by multi-racial couples. It's astonishing and rare but it does happen.

[skydrifter1]

Sheesh!

This is supposed to be a surprise?

(Yeah, I know it is to most.)

As screwy as paying off witnesses. That's usually termed "obstruction of justice."

But, the public doesn't sa a word. AND if they did, the media wouldn't print it, anyway.

[hbkepi]

The kids seem to be more caucasion then african-american. Micheal never liked being black himself. Never happy with who he was.

[ladypirate2]

The kids are caucasian, especially the two oldest ones. I'm not sure about the youngest one.

[fuji79]

Many of you must not understand a great deal about genetics nor do you understand history. A great many black people in America look white, hispanic, native american, biracial or other ethnic groups.They do not always "look black". It is possible for a Black person to have blond hair, blue eyes and pass that on to their children ... I should know. It is amazing how often that happens and how often most people do not believe it, especially white people. Look back to the 20's, 30's, 40's, 40's and 50's and see how many very light skinned black people passed for white in this country and NEVER told their children or their white spouses or employers. As for whether Michael Jackson is or was capable of having children, ALL of people are doing is SPECULATING. NONE OF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT EXCEPT WHAT YOU READ BY A MEDIA DRIVEN BY MONEY. I am sure ALL OF YOU have some questionable habits and family members you would not discussed all over the media, so why do you do it to a man who brought you nothing but music? None of you should lie about it and say you never danced to a Jackson 5 record or sang along to Thriller ... YOU KNOW YOU DID. Otherwise, why would THRILLER STILL BE THE BEST SELLING ALBUM OF ALL TIME and continue to sell 100,000 copies a year? Say what you want about a man who is no longer here to defend himself or shield his children from hearing ALL of this NONSENSE. AMERICANS ARE SICK when it comes to slamming people for living their lives in the way they want to, NOT the way YOU feel they should. All of you who are slamming Michael Jackson, his lifestyle, and making suggestions about his sexuality and as to whether or not he fathered his children, you all need to remember this: HE LOVED HIS CHILDREN AND THEY LOVED HIM. THEY DID NOT LOVE HIM AS MICHAEL JACKSON, SUPERSTAR OR WHATEVER OTHER NAMES YOU WISH TO CALL HIM, THEY LOVED HIM AS "DADDY". THAT ALONE MAKES MICHAEL JACKSON A BETTER MAN AND PERSON THAN MOST, IF NOT, ALL OF YOU.

STOP DEFAMING AND SLANDERING A MAN NONE OF YOU KNOW. REMEMBER HIS CHILDREN ... SOME OF YOU HAVE CHILDREN...THINK? WOULD YOU WANT YOUR CHILDREN TO READ SOMETHING LIKE THAT ABOUT YOU? THINK, PEOPLE, THINK. SHOW SOME RESPECT, AT LEAST FOR HIS CHILDREN. THEY HAVE TO GROW UP IN THIS WORLD ... SHOW SOME KINDNESS TOWARDS THEM, AT LEAST. LET THEM BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE GOOD, KIND, CARING AND GENTLE PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY AND THEY CAN LIVE HERE IN PEACE. AT LEAST, LET THEM BELIEVE THAT.

MAY GOD BLESS MICHAEL JACKSON, HIS CHILDREN, AND HIS FAMILY. MAY HIS MUSIC LIVE ON IN THE HEARTS AND SOULS OF THOSE WHO LOVED HIS MUSIC (AND WILL ALWAYS LOVE IT). No matter what anyone says or will ever say, a legend was born and died in Michael Jackson and we will never see such a talent again. I, for one, will miss you more than you will ever know and I can never say good-bye.

[monmomma]

I don't care for that whole family, not because they are black but because they all have issues. And didn't one of the daughters claim to have been molested by the dad Joe.. So are they really the best choice for the kids. I just wish that the media could put a lid on this whole ordeal, I am tired of hearing about it. thanks for letting me put my 2 cents in.

[VEGAS-GANGSTERS]

Why was he donating sperm and sh*t? What's wrong with just having s*x? What did his p*nis fall off from all the surgeries?

At least one of his accusers later recanted his testimony and admitted that he had never been molested. Who knows if the others were also just being used by greedy. gold-digging parents taking advantage of his immaturity.


To my knowledge, there were only two.

[angelena01]

You are right. I think every doctor that had anything to do with prescribing him too many prescription drugs should be punished. The doctors of celebrities should be held accountable for their actions. And I also want to note that I don?t think he was a child molester either.

[angelena01]

I was responding to Regats comments. I agree with everything you said. I loved MJ.

[Regats]

With some great music and talent and, both his own and that of the best production and promotion in the record industry, MJ rose had stunning success up to about the mid eighties - then he slowly crashed and burned, squandering his fortune and destroying his body.


I don't believe he was a child molester, but had an innocent and undisciplined mind of a child which just couldn't deal with that success. At least one of his accusers later recanted his testimony and admitted that he had never been molested. Who knows if the others were also just being used by greedy. gold-digging parents taking advantage of his immaturity.

But he was seriously addicted to prescription drugs, gladly provided by and unethical and greedy doctors - and they murdered him.

[zonkzilla]

I am totally shocked.
To think a manly man like Michael Jackson is not the father of "his" kids is hard to believe.
Next we will be told that Rosie is not the father of her kids either.
