Thank god for T-Mez!
 
Re: Jermaine Writing Book On Life With MJ *Update Post 253, Book To Be Released In Sept*

But more fundamentally, Mesereau says Jackson never talked about fleeing and says he obeyed the law throughout the trial.
The most important part. Thanks for that, Mr. Mesereau.

What did he mean by this :/


Roland Martin, and Marlon Jackson are friends. When MJ passed Martin was on CNN constantly mentioning he is in contact with Marlon.

I have deleted all posts that pertain to the tabloid article posted here.

It is not only irrelevant but it is also ridiculous to try to conflate the two issues.

Anyway, please stay on topic for this thread.
 
Re: Jermaine Writing Book On Life With MJ *Update Post 253, Book To Be Released In Sept*

As far as I'm concerned Jermaine and Murray are pretty much in the same class together.
 
Re: Jermaine Writing Book On Life With MJ *Update Post 253, Book To Be Released In Sept*

Question is this a crime what JJ is now saying can the police bring charges again him for planing to commit a crime?

OH I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT!


And now everybody is speaking again about the trial 2005.

Pissed of. Jermaine Jack$on$ is really a moron.
 
Re: Jermaine Writing Book On Life With MJ *Update Post 253, Book To Be Released In Sept*

What the heck is wrong with Jermaine!

First of all, I don't believe there was EVER any escape plan. I mean, seriously, we're talking about a man who couldn't even keep up with his child support payments, but he wants folks to believe that he had the wherewithall to devise some GRAND ESCAPE plan to Bahrain. LOL!

I know he is trying to sell a book, and MAKING UP stuff probably comes in to play, for the man who claims to have been Michael's "backbone," but this is just way, WAY over the top, in my opinion.
 
Re: Jermaine Writing Book On Life With MJ *Update Post 253, Book To Be Released In Sept*

Right. Maybe so. Except, there are pix of Michael in the early eighties where his stage makeup is running (he was sweating), and the patches on his neck are totally obvious. I just can't imagine that his family wouldn't notice something like that? Also, on that Oprah interview at N/L, he said it "ran in his family." Vitiligo can be genetic, and the family would have been very aware of this in their background, and what it looks like. So it's just not understandable, why this would somehow be new news to Jermaine? (Or maybe he's just trying to cover Word to the Baaad somehow, that he didn't GET IT back then when he wrote that awful song? And, he says the song was "leaked?" Not very likely, at all.)
I also remember Janet backing Michael up years ago, saying that she had known about the vitiligo, and they had cried together about it when it got worse. It seems she didn't have any problems believing him and defending him on this point.

Yes, Janet defend him about the vitiligo in february 1993, just after the Oprah interview.

Jermaine just speak about what it bankable to sell his book, that's it. He's one of the worst with Randy in this family.

One of the members and friend from Lipstick Alley (she's also a member as well) bought the TIMES article which included the Jermaine interview and the excerpts from his book. She scanned the Jermaine piece from the magazine and posted it there. I asked her for permission to post it here and she said yes.

I remember that, too. (Janet confirming/backing him up). Which makes Jermaine's remarks even less understandable (when he saw Michael's skin at the hospital). He can't on the one hand say he and Michael were "close," and then imply that he hadn't really known about the vitiligo! The whole family would have known! He was already having loss of pigment during the Victory tour, wasn't he? I still think it might be Jerm trying to squirm out of "Word to the Badd," maybe? (in case that comes up again? Vicious, vicious song -- far worse than a squabble between siblings. It was PUBLIC!)

Jerm says Michael would have "agreed" (to flee the country). What an AWFUL thing to say! I'm very glad T-Mez came out in support of Michael (that he never mentioned that as an option). But, of course T-Mez' remarks won't get much press-time, and Jerm's are apparently going all-over-the-place? Nice going, "brother." (NOT)

(edit) I see the lyrics have been changed/updated. But HERE is what Jerm really sang (about Michael's skin.)

Once you were made
You changed your shade
Was your color wrong?

Okay I understand that she bought it but I'm not entirely sure if scanning an article and posting it on a website is allowed.
It may come under 'fair dealing' but I'm not sure. If the mods could help out on this I'm sure it would be helpful to know for all members here.
 
Re: Jermaine Writing Book On Life With MJ *Update Post 253, Book To Be Released In Sept*

Well Michael's kids might not have a mother Germaine but they had a father, not just someone who conceived andabandoned them, only spending time with them once a fortnight, they had a true, real father, a father that was so great that he was their father and mother at the same time. Unlike you Michael never pushed his children onto other people be it their mothers or his own mother (like you do) to take care of them. Another thing, I don't think having children from 3/4 different women is something to gloat about, considering one of their mothers is woman both you and your own brother went to bed with

Jermaine have kids that are sibling/cousins and others that have different mothers! Why is he acting as if that's the way to do it? Cause I'm more then sure his ways are seen as also unconventional to the so called society he so tries to impress with that B.S talk in the article!

MJ kids were loved and they had a Parent, who raised them well! That's what is important! That's has to count for something too, "erms!"
 
Re: Jermaine Writing Book On Life With MJ *Update Post 253, Book To Be Released In Sept*

Lawyer Calls BS
On Jermaine Jackson


The lawyer who successfully defended Michael Jackson against child molestation charges tells TMZ ... Jermaine Jackson's claim of a plan for Michael to bolt the country if convicted would been for nothing ... because MJ never would have had the chance to flee even if he wanted to.

Tom Mesereau tells us ... Santa Barbara Police told him several years after the trial that they were extremely concerned about possible violence if MJ was convicted. Mesereau says the cops were particularity concerned about the Nation of Islam.

As a result of those concerns, Mesereau says he was told if Michael had been convicted, he would immediately have been taken into custody and helicoptered to a prison facility in Lompoc, CA.

The upshot -- there would have been no opportunity for escape.

But more fundamentally, Mesereau says Jackson never talked about fleeing and says he obeyed the law throughout the trial.

I love T-Mez. Michael can always count on him. Unlike on his own family.

What Momma Shannon said is true. It's all about money for Jermaine and Murray. ANYTHING FOR MONEY.
 
Re: Jermaine Writing Book On Life With MJ *Update Post 253, Book To Be Released In Sept*

I like how Tom Messereau speaks so well of Michael. It seems anyone else that isn't related to Michael also do a better job protecting and supporting Michael than his own family. I can't take this family anymore. I get stressed out and irritated by each and evetything they do. I wish they would just stop. I don't think they realize or just don't care how the are alienating so many people. If Murray walks I will blame his family for their part in it. Their actions don't help at all.

I agree. I mean Jermaine was an idiot for speaking about this "escape plan" and shouldn't have kept his mouth shut but I don't equate that with killing our Michael...
 
Re: Jermaine Writing Book On Life With MJ *Update Post 253, Book To Be Released In Sept*

I dont believe this TMZ article I think its all being twisted and the fans believe every bit of it.
 
Re: Jermaine Writing Book On Life With MJ *Update Post 253, Book To Be Released In Sept*

So jermaine basically admit his "escape plan" was made up through his rep that jermaine knew Michael would be taken into custody if convicted and he just tried to express his "frustration". I had the feeling he will come up with more his heroic big bro stories after his" I saved Michael Jackson", but I never thought he would come this low.
The truth is the Jacksons planned a reality show if michael was convicted and two brothers had fought over who was controlling his assets in neverland.

That's what they were going to do if Michael was convicted a reality show and arguing who would control what?
 
Re: Jermaine Writing Book On Life With MJ *Update Post 253, Book To Be Released In Sept*

I just wished it could all go back to how it was before.... you know when nobody gave a damn about Toya or Jermaine or Randy. The only thing we would hear ocassionally were about a reunion-tour -which would never take place knowing Michaels stance in this. After Michaels tragic passing, the media and even some fans have given the entire Jackson family a newfound platform which IMO they have abused on so many levels. Instead of being some kind grateful for their new popularity or whatever they piss on us all the time.

The fans worked hard back then and still works very hard to clear Michaels name from the false allegations and then there comes a statement like this one. Does Jermaine really understands what he is saying here? Ive already seen comments saying words like "if they were planning an escape, that must have meant he were guilty, just take a look at Roman Polanski".

They destroy so much of fans hard work. Do they even realize this? The worst part is that Michaels is not here to refute all of these nutty claims. I dont care what Jermaine really meant or what MJ knew or didnt know. Jermaine knows how the media works and how people interpret things. MJ barely gave interviews knowing how the media would make up lies or interpret it in their own way... Jermaine should take a notice.

I hope Michael is at forever peace. I hope he has found the peace that clearly escaped him here on Earth.

EDIT: To all of you planning to buy this book. The book is about MJ and he is not here to say what is true or not. We all know Jermaine lied about how he saved MJ from drowning... what more have been exagerrated?

Just read the tweet by Roland Martin stating that bringing up the trial and such does nothing for Michael's legacy. How sad it is that the family does not get that. If it is brought up, then the only discussion should be around his innocence and not their interpretation of what he would have done or thought. On the eve of Murray's trial, there should not even be mention of the trial by anyone. As far as Martin's comments about knowing what the family thought about the trial, one could only imagine. I'm sure it wasn't as tight-knit as they claim. And I'm sure what was said to Michael's face was not always what was said behind his back (otherwise, there wouldn't even have been a basis to make such a comment).

At this point, if Michael did not say it directly to them, they need to shut up and stop trying to interpret his feelings, actions, and thoughts. Did the family love each other? I'm sure they did. That does not mean they were as close as they want everyone to believe. As mentioned before, you don't go years not seeing or talking to each other when all are quite capable physically and financially of jet-setting off to see each other if you truly are that close. Funny how it is always the family that was kept from Michael. Not the Cascios, not Elizabeth Taylor, not Chris Tucker, not anyone else. Now could there be a reason that has nothing to do with anyone else except Michael? It is time for them to just say they weren't as close to Michael as they wanted to be and had little contact. Just say it and stop with the rest.

This is so ridiculous and attention-grabbing. Everyone wants to position themselves to be the great Michael saviors.

This family had the world's attention to get everyone to focus on who Michael was as a person. Yet, how long did it take them to make sure the focus was on addictions and everything else but the goodness of him.

Another thing: it has been over five years with the trial and Jermaine can quote word for word what was said in the hospital that day by everyone (referring to the excerpt)? Who knows-- maybe he can. They just need to learn that everything is not public business. Michael knew that; he didn't go running to the press trying to prove this or that when he was living.

And at this point, the family needs to bow out with preserving the legacy. All they are doing is diluting the legacy with overexposure. Between books, tribute concerts, documentaries, etc. Isn't Gest and Tito suppose to be doing something coming up also? How in the world is the Estate ever going to be able to release things to a public that does not become over-saturated in all things Michael Jackson? Michael knew that you had to leave people with wanting more by pulling back some; yet, the motto for the family and some others appear to be "get it while it is hot."

You have got to stand in awe of how Michael was treated by so many as the weird one in the family. Look at what he was dealing with.

So, Jermaine will give as an insight into MJ's mental state (and health) before he died? :smilerolleyes: Please, these Jacksons need to sit down. None of them were close or spent any time with him in the years before he passed to be giving this type of "insights".

For his own sake.. I really hope he wont say MJ was weak, sick and frail...

I can say it easily. How is killing a man in the flesh any different then killing the heart and soul of your brother by treating him like a funding source alive or dead? Jermaine is dispictible and coniving with a heavy dose of stupid mixed in. He used to be somebody. Why couldn't he write a book about himself and his own life adventures? No, he knew no one cared because fans want Michael so out of jealousy and greed he gave them his version of Michael or what he would have people believe about Michael. Murray injected our idol and killed him. Jermaine would destroy Michael's legacy, discredit his brother and bath in the dollars made at his brother's expense but only after his brother is no longer here to call him out on the deception.

There is no honor in Jermaine Jackson.
