Janet Jackson Fights With Niece Paris, Conspires to 'Kidnap' Katherine Jackson -- Report

Update: The Los Angeles Times is reporting that the altercation at Katherine Jackson's home did not involve Paris Jackson or any of Michael Jackson's children. "The kids were not involved," Los Angeles County sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore told the newspaper. He declined to say which members of the Jackson family were part of the scuffle.

Original story below.

The Jacksons are having themselves quite the summer. Monday (July 23), police were called to the L.A. home of family matriarch Katherine Jackson -- who was reported missing over the weekend -- and now we know why. Sort of.

According to a statement from Katherine's lawyers, available in full at Gawker.com, "certain family members" -- i.e. Janet, Jermaine and Randy Jackson -- "ambushed" the 82-year-old's home by driving an SUV through her security gates. Their goal was to confiscate Michael Jackson's children's cell phones and prevent them from tweeting information about the family.

What followed, reports suggest, was a physical altercation between Janet and M.J.'s 14-year-old daughter Paris. The two have butted heads recently over the latter's showbiz aspirations, as auntie Janet evidently thinks her niece should enjoy her childhood, but there's obviously way more to the story than that.

"Following the incident, it was learned that one of the family members who was part of the ambush admitted that a plan has been in place for the last three years to remove Katherine Jackson from her home and her beloved grandchildren," reads the statement from Katherine's lawyers.

"Prince, Paris, and Blanket Jackson have not heard from their grandmother since she left their home nine days ago to attend a series of her sons' concerts on their Unity Tour."

So, to recap, Katherine Jackson is "resting" in Arizona, as per Jermaine, but she's had no contact with her grandchildren in days. Janet and her siblings want their late brother's kids to stop tweeting. And as TMZ reports, the executors of the King of Pop's will -- who have been charged with forging documents -- are seeking guardianship of his children.

If any of this makes sense, you must be a Jackson.

THIS IS SO VERY SAD ,THIS FIGHT WITH THE JACKSON FAMILY WAS GOING ON BEFORE MICHAEL EVEN DIED , THATS SHOWS THAT HIS FAMILY IS MONEY HUNGRY . ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY ,WHATS EVEN MORE SAD IS THAT MICHAEL DIDNT HAVE ANYBODY HE COULD TRUST WITH ANYTHING WHEN HE WAS ALIVE ,EXCEPT MAYBE HIS MOTHER BUT HE COULDNT TRUST HIS LAWYERS OR ANYBODY ELSE .IM SURPRISED THAT JANET IS INVOLVED IN THIS FEUD ,ITS LIKE THEY ARE ALL RIOTING WITH EACH OTHER NOW THAT HE'S GONE , I ALWAYS THOUGHT JANET WAS THE ONLY GOOD SIBLING MICHAEL HAD BECAUSE THE OTHERS ALREADY SHOWED THAT THEY ARE EVIL , THE BAD SEEDS IN THE FAMILY BUT JANET AND MICHAEL HAD MORE IN COMMON. II UNDERSTAND THAT JANET WANTS TO PROTECT THE PRIVACY OF HER FAMILY BUT IT LOOKS LIKE PARIS WAS JUST CONCERNED ABOUT HER GRANDMOTHER JUST LIKE JANET WOULD BE CONCERNED IF SHE THOUGHT SOMETHING HAPPENED TO HER MOTHER. IM PRETTY SURE MICHAEL TAUGHT HIS KIDS TO LOOK AFTER THEIR GRANDMOTHER AND THATS WHAT THEY ARE DOING , MICHAEL WASNT STUPID AND I KNOW HE KNEW HOW MONEY HUNGRY HIS FAMILY IS AND I HOPE HE GOT ALL OF HIS LEGAL DOCUMENTS TOGETHER BEFORE HE DIED BECAUSE I KNOW HE KNEW ALL HELL WOULD BREAK LOOSE ONCE HE DIED . I THINK PARIS WAS DOING THE RIGHT THING BECAUSE THE GRANDMOTHER SHOULD OF AT LEAST TOLD THEM SHE WOULD BE GONE FOR A FEW DAYS, IM SURE AT HER AGE SHE NEEDS TIME FOR HERSELF AND TIME TO REST AFTER CARING FOR 3 KIDS BUT BEING THAT THEY ARE A FAMOUS FAMILY IF SHE DIDNT TELL ANYONE SHE WAS LEAVING ITS POSSIBLE SHE COULD HAVE BEEN KIDNAPPED. I DONT FEEL THAT JACKSONS MOTHER IS EQUIPPED TO TAKE CARE OF THREE CHILDREN ,IM NOT SURE IF SHE WANTED TO BE THEIR GUARDIAN OR IF MICHAEL JUST CHOSE HER WITHOUT HER KNOWING BUT ITS OBIVIOUS MICHAEL DOESNT TRUST TOO MANY PEOPLE WITH HIS CHILDREN . I APOLOGIZE IF THIS SOUNDS BAD BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE SOME MEMBERS OF THE JACKSON FAMILY COULDNT WAIT FOR HIM TO DIE , I DONT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE FIGHTING OVER BECAUSE I KNOW MICHAEL SHARED AND IM SURE HE HELPED HIS FAMILY IF THEY ASKED BUT SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST GREEDY . I FEEL BAD FOR MICHAELS KIDS, I HOPE THEY ARE PROTECTED AND THAT MICHAEL GETS TO REST IN PEACE.

Hello Danielle...I agree the family...Janet, Rebbie, Randy, Jermaine and Debbie Rowe gave a youtube video along with Katherine Jackson stating the fact that she is fine and was just resting.......

Paris need to be spoken to almost got taken by CPS (Child Protective Services) by tweeting bull crap all over a social media site...that was why the emergency guardianship by Tito's eldest son TJ who is 34 yrs old. All the Jackson brothers were on tour...Jermaine and Randy flew back to help Janet with trying to stop Paris from tweeting all their info.....

Long story short...Now that Michael's Estate is worth $1 billion and counting his supposed executors was writing something up for the courts trying to say that Katherine Jackson is unfit as Michael Kids Guardians and was trying to takeover as sole guardians of Michael Jackson estate and his three kids.........

The Jackson family does not want this to happen in the mean time Katherine suffered a minor stroke and was put on rest -Doctors orders......Rebbie Jackson came and got her and took her to Arizona where Rebbie lives now........for relaxation......Paris freaked out by the unknowing absence of her grandma and sarted tweeting that Grandma Jackson was missing, and tweeted her phone number and address ........as Michael Jackson heir that is a safety issue

I DIDNT KNOW SHE TWEETED PERSONAL INFO LIKE THAT BUT IF SHE DID THEN THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT YOU WOULD THINK THE FAMILY WOULD HAVE TOLD THE KIDS TO NEVER GIVE OUT PERSONAL INFORMATION TO ANYONE OR TO ANY SOCIAL SITE BEING THAT THEY ARE A FAMOUS FAMILY . THAT IS SOMETHING THEY SHOULD OF TAUGHT THE KIDS NOT TO DO SINCE MICHAELS PASSING AND THEY COULD OF AVOIDED THIS , THEY ARE A BIT YOUNG TO BE USING TWITTER ANYWAYS . SO WHO EXACLTY WAS WATCHING PARIS AND HER SIBLINGS WHEN SHE SUPPOSINGLY SENT THIS TWEET? SOMEBODY SHOULD HAVE BEEN LOOKING AFTER THEM , SO I STILL DONT UNDERSTAND WHY IT HAPPENED THE WAY IT DID . THEY ARE JUST BEING SO CARELESS WITH THE CHILDREN .

The entire family is with children when she's sending out the tweets. Let's not forget that Katherine is in care of 5 other children. Remember the stun gun incident a couple months ago..it was revealed that Jermaine and his 2/3 kids along with Randy and his 2/3 kids and their ex wife (same woman ikr..) along with Michales 3 kids, and her grandson Dante all live with Katherine.


Paris wasnt left alone, people were there to watch her. You guys have to understand Michael sheltered these kids, contrary to what people say on here thats not a good thing. Stuff like this happen, those children are too needy and prolly cling to Katherine like 3 year old triplets. Paris calling authorities making accusations that could really put her and her brothers in trouble. They need to get a handle of these kids and teach them all over again. Michael sheltered them a little too much.

So Katherine Jackson leaves without telling her grandchildren where she's going or why, just up and disappears, and causes Paris a ton of anguish to the point where she tweets about it, but she just was going on a vacation? Right, and if you believe that, there's a bridge for sale in Brooklyn. And then Janet wants to prevent Paris from tweeting to protect Paris from what, society, herself? No, she just doesn't want the world to know what's going on. It sure sounds like an attempt to get control of Michael's fortune, either by outright abducting Katherine to gain guardianship of the children or by accusing the executors of forging documents. But there is no way I believe the story that Katherine just went on vacation and didn't tell her grandchildren anything about it, because I believe she actually cares about her grandchildren, as opposed to Janet and some other family members, who obviously view them as cash cows. And Janet doesn't want Paris going into show business at such a young age because she allegedly wants her to "enjoy" her childhood? Tell me, how does abducting her grandmother and taking away her cell phone allow Paris to "enjoy" her childhood? Plenty of other child actors managed to enjoy their childhood just fine. Just because Janet's father was abusive and controlling and destroyed Michael's childhood does not mean that every child performer is abused by their parents. Perhaps Paris would like to take away Janet Jackson's propensity to display body parts on national television, so that Janet can "enjoy" her adulthood.

Could not agree more with you frankbvt! You dont take away a cell phone to a teen - they need that to socialize with their friends and for emergencies - you teach them how tweeting could be detrimental. Its obvious Janet has never been a parent and dont have even the basic skills of one. You dont do that to a teen she will fell the world has turned against her and you create a monster..

well plenty other childhood actors not stupid enuff to giv their family personal info out is.. Giving out her address and phone number was just stupid, and u call Janet crazy for wanting to take the phone away from her.

Lets call it for what it is, those kids are just too much for Katherine to handle. Michael was their father, mother, sister, brother, cousin, uncle, friend, teacher, minister, god, everything. He sheltered them, and this is the result. they running the poor woman crazy to where she needed to leave the state, but she cant do that without the media getting all in her business.

I think its a good thing they have access.Bunch of crazies right there in her family that she needed to get answers from that would not give her the time of day.Also I think Janet is more worried about being upstaged by Paris more then anything else.Face it you don`t call your beloved niece a spoiled bitch with the same mouth that says she should be able to enjoy her childhood.
