Jermaine's Ex Shopping Jackson Reality Show

Jermaine's Ex Shopping Jackson Reality Show

2/18/2011 2:54 PM PST by TMZ Staff



Alejandra Jackson -- baby mama to Jermaine and Randy -- still refuses to move out of the Jackson family compound ... but she is ready to spill family's secrets on a new reality show ... for the right price.

Sources close to Alejandra tell us she's in talks with several producing partners to star in a reality show along with her children. As we previously reported, she's also working on a tell-all book -- and we're told she's currently looking for a writer.

TMZ broke the story ... last month the Michael Jackson estate asked a judge to remove Alejandra and her kids -- Jaafar, Jermajesty, Genevieve, Donte and Randy Jr. -- from the home.

That came after Alejandra turned down Katherine's request to leave the house so it could be renovated. Katherine offered Alejandra a condo if she signed a confidentiality agreement -- but Alejandra refused. Confidentiality agreements and tell-all books don't go well together.

We're told Alejandra feels she needs to make money -- from the reality show and the book -- because the fathers of her children are behind on support payments. For instance, Jermaine owes Alejandra almost $100,000 in back child support.

A hearing on whether Alejandra has to leave the house is set for March 15.

A show about what? she should be shopping for a place to live on her won. She has had 20 years to get on her feet and she's now realizes she needs money. This woman is a headache she needs to keep the family's business private, think of the kids involved and Katherine already has enough to stress about. She has made this all much more difficult than necessary.

[Memefan]

Who's gonna watch? Her claim to fame is sleeping with two brothers and producing 4 brosins.

The chick can barely speak english....and if the Jackson 4 reality show was a bust...what makes her thing hers will be any different?

Delusional folks.

i would NEVER watch the show..WHY give her ratings...the book...hmmmm...I am sure we could read it on-line...

Yeah..yeah...that's what they told TMZ.

The ratings were pitiful...

Why would they tell TMZ anything? and I didn't hear it from tmz, i read it from some article with the producer of the show.

 

[Petrarose]

Based on her actions or plans, it seems this woman really deserved these brothers. I wish them all luck.

Jodi Gomes is a dickrider (both the Jacksons & Karen Faye)... so anything she says ...take with a grain of salt.

The ratings were not great...A&E had no use offering them another season. They sold that hot lie to tmz & it was picked up by other media. TMZ was the original source, and one of the bro (germaIne) was quoted.

You can find their ratings info on your own....Google is your friend.

Me and you have the same info, even when it aired they were saying how well it did. It didn't do jersey shore or rhoa #'s, but for what it was, the ratings were well.

 

[chanel05]

My statement to Alejandra: SIT YO ASS DOWN!!! She just really needs to stop. I honestly think thar she can make more money and do better with a book than a tv show. It's just sad because I'm sure it will put a big rift in the family. Im sure that in her book she will probably bad mouth all the jackons(including MJ). The only way it will really sale is if she has a combo of stuff about MJ, Janet, Katherine and Joe. I wonder will it come to pass... I think she will probably try to market the book about some slanderous MJ stuff so the estate can pay her not to put it out.

The Jacksons' show did well. These people in this thread are saying it didn't because they are Jackson haters and will make up anything to make the Jacksons look bad.

This thread is another example of you hypocritical TMZ haters. You hate them yet you read their news.

As for the actual story, on March 15th that bitch is gonna move and no one cares about her documentary/book. The general public don't even know who she is.

 

[soulmum]

She could go out and get a proper job instead of freeloading from others. It would also help if she had her child support payments honoured. Reality show and a book sounds like simple blackmail to me.

I posted the facts to back up my statement that the show was a rating failure overall...Can YOU do the same?

Debating after doing some research is a lot more interesting than just spitting the Kool-aid.


As for the ratings, I have the Nielsen data, the show premiere got "decent" (decent for an A&E show) ratings but it went down rapidly starting the second week and it was down the drain from there.


Link for 1st episode ratings

A&E’s “The Jacksons: a Family Dynasty,” which is produced by Atlantan Jodi Gomes and features Atlanta resident Marlon Jackson, opened at a decent but not amazing 2.3 million viewers this past Sunday, followed by 1.9 million for the second episode.

The grand finale (Including the much hyped Forest Lawn trip)

A&E’s “The Jacksons: An American Dynasty” didn’t really draw audiences the way the network had hoped, given all the interest in Michael Jackson. The finale January 17 only drew 983,000 people. (In comparision, A&E’s “Hoarders” regularly breaks 2.2 million viewers.) Atlanta resident Jodi Gomes produced it. My guess is A&E probably won’t renew the show.

Here's Entertainment Weekly's review (very reflective of ALL the media reviews & general public reviews I had read then:

'The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty': A big family mess
by Ken Tucker
http://watching-tv.ew.com/2009/12/14/the-jacksons-family-dynasty-jack5ons/
The first two hours of The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty, which aired last night, was rather sad, and I don’t just mean because it reminded us all over again what a void the death of Michael Jackson had left not only in the Jackson family but on the world-stage.
Begun before Jackson died, A Family Dynasty is now a series of squabbles and desperation-moves, although it’s impossible to tell whether, had he lived, Michael would have taken much of a prominent role in what amounts to a rehab of the Jackson brothers’ faded popularity:

Certainly the Jackson who comes off worst on this six-part series is Jermaine, who blows off a family photo-shoot and flies off to Vienna to promote a Michael tribute concert without his brothers’ involvement (and that subsequently fell apart).
Why did he, listed among the executive producers, even agree to allowing such botches to be included here? I guess the prospect of getting back in the spotlight was too powerful to resist. One thing that seems obvious: I doubt that the other Jackson with a real career, Janet, will be popping up too often on this docu-psycho-drama.
You can read my full review of The Jacksons here.
Did you watch The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty? If you did, having seen it would you watch it again?

Remind me again, why would A&E renew the show?

Yep TMZ hater here. I used to visit their website back then...But I no longer do. Come harder at me...I have the FACTS to back me up.

Really awful what this person, Alejandra does. ... Money talks really loud and bad. ....

Hi Memefan.

I did what you said and googled about the Jackson Reality Show Ratings.

I did not find much.

I did find that article written by Ken Tucker that you posted but nothing about actual ratings.

Can you please tell me where you found the two quotes you posted about the actual ratings.

Thanks in anticipation.

I included links for both.



Click on links just above the quotes..it will take you directly there

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think she will not speak evil of MJ. After all, her name is not "Janet" and she is not a "Jackson". Capisce?

 

[ExoticPrincess]

This woman needs to get a job and a damn life!

And anyone who thinks if this ever sees the light of day, won't include drama about MJ, think again. The only way she can sell this is to include mess about Mike! We've seen it with interviews etc. if they are'nt gonna talk about Mike then the media ain't interested! Unfortunately for them they can't stand on their own without using Michael in some shape or form.

Yes that is what I think too.

I would not be surprised if she betrayed him for money, but Michael really helped her. I was thinking of another ex-wife of Jermaine. In her book she wrote only good things about Michael. The truth is: MJ's worst detractors are his parents and siblings. Mrs. Jackson was not worried that the book and the show was only against the memory of her son Michael. After all, she does not care about that. If the Jacksons are concerned, perhaps the real bad side of that family are revealed, Who knows.

MJ was alive then, he isn't now. Also I only think she s gonna market the book as this big tell-all with some juicy MJ stuff in it to get a settlement from the estate

 

[Sophielo]

Why am I not suprised?

 

[ilmjj]

What can she say that we already don't know? i agree with you that I bet she is hoping for exactly that.

But I just don't believe there are any earth shattering Michael secrets out there...or at least that Alejandra knows about!!

I just don't want the estate throwing money at her. Let her get a job like everybody else and worry about healthcare and retirement benefits like the rest of us. (Never gonna happen, I know!!)

 

[Ashtanga]

:sigh:



Alejandra should be ashamed of itself. She has to leave the house, have your own house and move on. Simple! :doh: This woman is a big headache. :fear:

 

[elusive moonwalker]

dont care for the chic personally..but if she has stuff on Randy and Jermaine.....then so be it damn it...enough is enough.....Michael's getting thrown under the bus ...remember this...."Michael is a drug addict..Michael is in denial".....sometimes..karma is a bitch.

exactly. like with maldonado from what i remember she said mj was the only decent man in that family.
