As far as we can tell, of that family, only Janet and Tito are self-supporting and actually have careers. Janet has worked hard and is very successful with films and music. And doesn't Tito still have a musical career, playing in smaller venues?
This is a MICHAEL JACKSON board, and not a "family fan-club," last I checked. I'm sure most fans were fully prepared to support the family with good wishes, but since Michael's death, the family's actions speak volumes. Jermaine has made several attempts at "tribute shows" capitalizing on his brother's success, but so far, it doesn't seem like anyone has really wanted that? Jermaine has apparently dumped his own children off on their grandmother. Randy is doing God-knows what, but it's certainly not a JOB.
I took particular exception to Jermaine's jumping right in, only days after Michael's death, and saying, "I was his backbone and his voice." No, dude, you were NOT. Michael had plenty of "backbone," and he had his own voice. I thought that was incredibly disrespectful, and it hasn't gotten any better since. That "Jacksons Reality show" was downright embarrassing!
Any opinions I've formed about various family members come directly from their ACTIONS, since Michael's death.
And about Katherine and her alliance with Howard Mann and Melissa Johnson. I've already stated my opinion of that, and my opinion is that this is NOT a good thing for those children! I see that M.J.A.N. uses the term "exploitation," but that term comes FIRST from the executors in their statement about this whole mess.
