Jermaine jackson drops big bucks on ferrari

[twinklEE]

It was such a big slap into his face when Shilpa Shetty won and he lost. HAHA

 

[msladeevon]

I just feel really sorry for children of parents like this!

I don't feel sorry for these children. Even without child support these children still have. I believe that Jermaine is taking care of his children, just not they way Alejandra wants him too. if he would prove that he is supporting the kids there would be no problem with the courts, but Jermaine does not want the mother to know what his finaces are and maybe Uncle Sam too. Jermaine should do like Michael and just take full custody of his children. Five more years of child support but at least in August it get lowered since Jaafar is 18.

 

[Bubs]

^^^ Isn't paying your child support be right way to take care of your children?
How come every single woman who has kids with Jermaine have complained about him not paying support?
Hazel Cordy, Margaret M and Alejandra all had troubles to get him to pay any support, and if him and Halima had kids, I'm sure she would be in that list too.

The talk about diluting the brand is interesting.

It is preferable to wait in the hope of getting the kind of work that is appropriate for your brand, than to take work where you can find it. I am not condemning Jermaine alone for this. As he said, it is systemic in the industry. But at some point you do have to look at providing for those who rely on you, brand be damned!

 

[KOPV]

There is NO struggling JACKSON or ( Jacksun < so dumb lol)

It's wrong he hasnt paid child support but to feel sorry for the kids is a bit much in my opinion.. So they get to live in a huge house instead of a mansion... That whole family has enough money for a couple generations to come.. They are fine!

Hazel Gordy is the daughter of the OWNER of Motown, she has money more money than Jermaine... And give me a break abour Alejandra - a Jackson groupie to the fullest..

Im not saying Jermaine shouldnt pay his child support but we don't need to feel sorry for the kids.

Let's get serious here (pun intended), Jermaine Jackson has NO brand, at the most he is seen as a D- list celebrity who is suffering from delusions of grandeur.

 

[pug]

:bs
I'm embarrassed for both Jermaine and Alejandra after reading this: http://ll-media.extratv.com/archive/...jacksonpdf.pdf

They both come across as dishonest. Jermaine pretty much states he's a grown man with several children who has lived off his mother until he could find a girlfriend who was able to take care of him.

Well growing up is not only about having/spending money parents. I sincerely DO feel sorry for children who have to grow up with parents behaving like Jermaine and also Alejandra for more than only money reasons!


Plus as a true Ferrari fan (Ferraristi) by heart I do feel sorry for this car also! It would have deserved a different owner also!

I do agree with you, and I think that there weren't any back-up plan or they weren't told when they were young that their career is not going to last forever. There are millions has been musicians like Jermaine in the world, what do they do? Are they too waiting for something suitable that goes with their past glory days to come up, or do they find career in different area?

I found it funny that Jermaine said: "not to degrade my market value and ability to obtain legitimate work in the future"
Last 4 years, he has done nothing but degrading his market value. Who wants to hire a singer known as granny-napper?
Then there is enough of Michael Jackson imitators in the world, so his is saturating the markets in that area.

Alejandra's suggestion to Jermaine start working as wedding singer is perfectly valid

They both come across as dishonest. Jermaine pretty much states he's a grown man with several children who has lived off his mother until he could find a girlfriend who was able to take care of him.

I agree. If Jermaine had used his spare time trying to find another career path after his career was over, instead of behaving like high paid gigolo, he would have at least some sort of career now in different arena.

How do you know they live in the huge house? I thought the estate allowed them to live in Michael's condo?
About the bolded part, seriously Is that the reason Jermaine and Randy asked the estate to pay their child support?

About HC being daughter of Berry Cordy. What thats got to do with anything? Berry wasn't father of Hazel's kids, Jermaine was, and it was his job to support his own kids, not rely on father in-law paying his own kids.

I do agree with you about Alejandra, but it takes to the tango :cheeky:

 

[Soundmind]

I think Randy and Jermaine both really hates Alejandra and will do anything that she doesn't get any money. Unfortunately they are very short-sighted and doesn't realise that paying child support in time is much better than been pictured as dead beat dads in the media. I wonder if their kids (Jermajesty and Jafaar) gets teased at school by other kids, as they can be very hurtful as we know from Paris' case?

About other kids supporting AEG case, I think you are right. Jermaine said this in his declaration:
"Thus I find myself in a Catch-22 situation where while I need money, I also need to be very cognizant of what employment I do undertake so as not to degrade my market value and ability to obtain legitimate work in the future. Unfortunately (and sadly), this troubling situation is very common in the entertainment industry."

I think that goes with most of the Jackson's as they cannot work because they are members of "Jackson dynasty". Some of them might make a living in the
entertainment industry, but most of them don't and they didn't finish the school, so they don't have anything to fall back. False bride doesn't pay the bills and
they simply cannot expect to Michael's estate to take care of them.

Bubs, I dont believe it's only because they hate alejandra. Randy did not support her other daughter from his first wife as did jermaine with all his previous wives and girlfriends . The same goes for Tito . It's the mentality

Thank you, for including Tito. He somehow, always, manages to slip behind the radar screen.
Michael Jackson financially supported Tito's three sons(Taj, Taryll, and TJ)
throughout their childhood years at his Hayvenhurst home.

I, also, remember that immediately after Michael's passing Tito took to the public airwaves to proclaim:
"It's not just about Michael Jackson.
It's about the legacy of the Jackson family and our father Joe."

He has never said publically:"To honor my brother I will do all I can to provide his children with guidance and love."
I believe he never will.

 

[KOPV]

Jermaine asked the estate to pay child support because he can't afford it.. It does not mean he's broke.. No Jackson family member is broke!! When they establish the amount to pay on child support, its according to the income, life style, of the family AT THAT TIME!!

For example if I make 10 million a year at one point, have to pay X amount.. than I drop to 2 million a year, I am still liable for the amount as if I made 10 million. I know a few men who have 2 jobs to support themselves, there childeren and ex wifes because they got completly scrued..

They don't just do ok you give 20% of what you make.. It does not work that way! The Jacksons ask for more money because millions is not enough to them.. They want more to keep up with the lifestyle they created and want to keep.

watch Life With Latoya, she has (from my knowlege) less residuals than jermaine would yet she is looking at lavish houses to buy, has personal assistant etc.. She pockets a lot of money!!

When you think about it, they could live off of special appearances and autograph signing if they wanted to... but that's not enough to them..

If the Jackson family did not have money this thread would be titled.. "Jermaine Jackson drops little bucks on a Honda"

 

[Treasure]

Thank you for your post KOPV ...it makes things clear to me at some points
I discussed this whole matter with my husband , who said to me : If a Jackson member can't drive a NICE car, then please tell me who can?? So I told him about Jermain's finance (Because hubby isn't aware) then he said : Oh girl, do you really think all the Ferrari's you see are paid by savings? Most of them are financed.

 

[Mechi]

I guess it's a question of what are your priorities in life... sure poor Jacksons their father wasn't a wonderful rolemodel also (at least Michael had the class to grow over that, worked hard and got himself independent to be a good father and be a rolemodel for at least his children?! so there is other men also thank god)... and yeah billions of men do not pay child support also and do drive Hondas or Ferraris... so yep if spending and lifestyle is most important then that just is someones choice?!

I'm sorry I simply don't agree. Children come first. This isn't a discussion whether Jermaine should own a Ferrari it is a question whether Jermaine should own and run a Ferrari whilst NOT providing for his children.

There is absolutely no defence for not paying child support and continuing a lavish lifestyle. I don't care if the car is financed, however much that costs each month would help toward the feeding, schooling, housing, clothing of HIS children.

And yeah, this subject is a raw nerve for me.

"Jermaine asked the estate to pay child support because he can't afford it.. It does not mean he's broke.. No Jackson family member is broke!! When they establish the amount to pay on child support, its according to the income, life style, of the family AT THAT TIME!!"

I don't get it? If Jermaine is not broke, why he and Randy went to ask MJ estate executors and asked them to pay their child support? Pride is definately one of their good qualities.
They have established many times the amount of child support Jermaine should pay, but everytime he fails, no matter how much he was supposed to pay.
No Jackson fam member broke? Probably they have some money at the moment because all the exploitation of MJ and his kids, some of them got new lease of life after Michael's passing. They were broke before MJ's passing, every single Jackson had filed bankcrypsy exept Michael and Janet, and I have no doubt they will be broke again when they cannot use Michael or his kids for trumpeting their own shady deals.
Fyi, if you followed AEG trial, you know prior MJ death Havenhurst was hearding to foreclosure and no bills were paid. You would think if Jackson's were so well off, they would have helped their mother by paying electricity bill and some mortage payments.
Btw, Jermaine was so broke that he asked judge to order Alejanda to pay his lawyer and court costs.


"watch Life With Latoya, she has (from my knowlege) less residuals than jermaine would yet she is looking at lavish houses to buy, has personal assistant etc.. She pockets a lot of money!!"

Looking lavish house in reality show (which is mostly for show) doesn't mean that she can afford to buy lavish house
Some information of how well of Latoya is:

"When you think about it, they could live off of special appearances and autograph signing if they wanted to... but that's not enough to them.. "

I'm sorry but really, who would want to see their special appearances or autogrpahies?
Brothers had to cancel most of their tour dates because they couldn't sell.

"If the Jackson family did not have money this thread would be titled.. "Jermaine Jackson drops little bucks on a Honda""

The thing with Jackson's is that they want to "Keeping up appearances" of rich and famous, which they aren't.
It is all show for that they are Jackson dynasty, as that they may have been 30 years ago, but all that have changed now.


Note, if no Jackson is not broke, why would they go to Michael's home rooting around and steal his property and then sell them in either ebay or some UK auctions house (Jermaine is a bit slow as his doesn't know what is www) thinking noone can find out what they did?
So yeah, their actions scream loud how broke and tacky they are.

Life off autograph signings? And who would turn up? And most importantly who would pay for their autographs? LOL. Their little club and theatre tour HARDLY sold out, weren't there a couple of concerts were they were forces to literally GIVE AWAY rickets for FREE to keep appearance? The brother's star has been dead for decades, in all honesty.

I said earlier that Alejandra's suggestion that Jermaine could do wedding singer gigs was perfectly suitable and appropriate, althought grooms wouldn't be too happy to have Jermaine too close to their brides to be

No Jackson family member broke? How many were made bankrupt? At lease Marlon took other jobs when he needed to provide for his family.

 

[Soundmind]

"If the Jackson family did not have money this thread would be titled.. "Jermaine Jackson drops little bucks on a Honda""

Keep in mind katherine has access to all the money paid by the estate to mj's kids and that's A LOT . No one is stupid enough to believe she is really spending that money on the kids alone. Mother dearest has been getting a free pass on everything from everyone .

 

[Bubs]

No Jackson family member broke? How many were made bankrupt? At lease Marlon took other jobs when he needed to provide for his family.

As far as I know:
KJ and Joe
Jermaine
Latoya
Tito
Randy
I don't know about Jackie.

Marlon lost his house because MJ refused to bail him out, so yeah, Marlon definitely wasn't broke :doh:
Nearly the whole clan went bankcrytcy because they had support Jermaine and show he didn't have money to pay child support, and to hide the fact his is wealthy :blink:

Before anyone comes to say that they get royalties from their recordings, partly true, partly right.
Due to Joe's "brilliant" business sense, none of J5 members gets any royalties from the recordings, because Joe was so much in a hurry to leave Motown that he signed off the royalties from all J5 recordings.
They only royalties they get is from their Jacksons' albums and their own solo albums. I was thinking how much of royalties for example Latoya gets from hers? In order to get any, radios, advertising companies or other artist have play or use her songs to generate royalties, and to be honest, I cannot see that happen much to Latoya's songs, same goes with some other siblings. Jermaine perhaps gets some royalties from his songs but I don't think it is a huge amount of money.
At least whether ever he gets, judge ordered that Alejandra gets her child support before Jermaine buys another Ferrari with his money

 

[LastTear]

@Bubs, yes that's the list I have in my head, in my mind if you are bankrupt then you are pretty much broke, ie any extras above reasonable living goes towards your debts. We know how KJ got out of bankruptcy, but what about the others?

Yeah, I don't know any rich people who filed for bankruptcy just for sake of it
What do you mean KJ got out of bankcruptcy? She and Joe filed 1999 for bancruptcy, so was she going to file again?

 

[LastTear]

@Bubs, I think I'm probably assuming that she is no longer bankrupt as her moonie lawsuit was settled thanks to a loan from the Estate.

eta I believe her bankruptcy was the reason Michael gave her cash rather than any monies going through her account.
