And so it begins. Michael Jackson‘s not even been dead a week, and people are already crawling out of the woodwork to air his dirty laundry. First up: TMZ, who claims that neither Michael nor Debbie Rowe are biologically related to his three children, Prince, Paris and Blanket. Debbie and Michael were married from 1996-1999, and Debbie gave birth to his two oldest children. TMZ says, “Multiple sources deeply connected to the births tell us Michael was not the sperm donor for any of his kids. Debbie’s eggs were not used. She was merely the surrogate, and paid well for her services in the births of Michael Jr. and Paris.” The identity of Blanket’s surrogate has never been revealed.
Us Weekly is insisting that the father of Michael and Paris is Jackson’s dermatologist, Arnold Klein. Apparently, he is also Rowe’s former employer. “He and Debbie signed an agreement saying they would never reveal the truth,” said a source. Another twist? MJ never legally adopted the kids.
All allegations – if proven to be true – could make custody proceedings interesting, to say the least. Jackson’s mom Katherine currently has temporary custody of the singer’s three children. [Photo: Splash News Online]
