Questions regarding the family

[Emerald]

I've done some research on this and I'm still confused!

Whose child is Donte Jackson? Is he a child adopted from outside the family by Jermaine and Alejandra? Other sources say he is Randy and Alejandra's son? I've even read that he is Randy Jr's twin but this can't be true because one child was born a few months before the other in 1991.

Secondly, is Brandi adopted? I read that and found it hard to believe because she looks so much like the family.

I hope this kind of discussion is allowed. Please no bashing of family members, just any information you know.

I've heard that Donte is Jermaine's son from an affair he had when he was married with Hazel Gordy. I'm not sure if this is true. But he lives with Katherine and the rest of Jermaine's kids at Hayvenhurst. They claim to have adopted him.

Yes, Jackie adopted Brandie sometime in the 80's. I forgot the date. IMO, She looks nothing like a Jackson.

But doesn't Jermaine claim to have 7 kids? imdb also lists him as having 7 kids and excludes Donte altogether. Hmm.

Really? I think she looks a lot like them IMO she looks like Jackie and the sisters, especially Rebbie and Janet. But if she's adopted, she's adopted! Very beautiful and still 100% a Jackson!

Donte was born in 91/2 Jermaine divorced Hazel around 1987. Donte didn't live with the Jackson family until he divorced Margaret his second wife which was around 1994

Agree totally, imo she does resemble them but even if she is adopted that doesn't make any less family, she seems to be a lovely person like her father.

I'm not sure why he excludes Donte. But that is his son.

Brandie doesn't look like a Jackson. Doesn't have the doe eyes, 2000 watt smile nor high check bones.

To you she doesn't! To me she resembles them.
And she has a beautiful smile I think.
What I mean is if someone didn't tell me I wouldn't have guessed she was adopted.

 

[MJJ7777]

Hmm...Thats funny, she looks like a Jackson to me. I agree, she even looks like Jackie too...spoooky.

And yes, We will never find out a 100% truth dealing with the Jacksons....Mystery is their thing.

 

[BillieJean84]

wikipedia.com has alot more info and better than imdb.

Exactly! Even if she is adopted she is still 100% Jackie's daughter, Michael's niece etc. She seems a real sweet person too.

Ditto to both! :lol:

She also resembles the Jacksons to me also.

I read Margaret's book out of pure curisoity (I found it for free) I think she mentions Donte a few times a kid who mysteriously appeared out of nowhere and called Joesph Daddy. So who knows....


I remember reading tabloid magazines in the 80s/90s about Brandi. The Tabloids were saying that She was Janet's daughter, but The Jacksons denied it I think.. Brandi seemed like she had such a great connection with her Uncle Michael, She was in his videos and in the LA Gear ads.

:bugeyed.......
But if that was true why would they accept him if they don't accept Joh'vonnie? lol this is so intriguing

I heard those rumours too..but I find it hard to believe them.
Brandi did seem to have a lovely connection with Uncle Michael! Not only was she in the BOW video, she was on Michael's lap in the 2300 video too.

The LA Gear ad is adorable

 

[twinklEE]

Brandi was a beautiful girl and still is a beautiful woman to this day, she is indeed very very pretty

 

[elusive moonwalker]

no one knows whos dante is. i think alexandrea said in court papers to do with her battle with jerm that dante isnt anyones kid. isnt related to them. wouldnt surprise me if he were joes.

Brandie doesn't look like a Jackson.

maybe she looks like her mother lol looking a certain way doesnt prove anything. the adoption story is a tabloid story so go with that as u will. and was attached to the janets secret daughter story

've heard that Donte is Jermaine's son from an affair he had when he was married with Hazel Gordy.

jerm and hazel were divorced in the late 80's b4 dante was born

 

[twinklEE]

looking a certain way doesnt prove anything.

girl u know urself that to the ignorant it always does (no reference to trueopium)

 

[elusive moonwalker]

true.......

Gosh, well I hope the child himself knows.

Oh it was a tabloid story?! Ohh, I don't believe it then.

 

[elusive moonwalker]

Gosh, well I hope the child himself knows.

i would presume he does. well i hope so lol yeah it was a tabloid story i think it came about cause of the janet secret child stories or the other way around. dont really see why jackie would adopt when he has his own ie siggy

 

[jamgirl86]

Donte lists Randy as his father...and Alejandra as his mother and his name is officially Donte Jackson

Ohh, thought it was admitted by Jackie or something!
There are lots of reasons for him to adopt after having his own child by the way. Lots of families do it!

Donte lists Randy as his father...and Alejandra as his mother and his name is officially Donte Jackson

He lists Randy as his father? Sooo confusing. AND he was adopted by Jermaine? Good Lord. The plot is so thick you can't stir it.
Is it 100% that Jermaine adopted him? :S Is Alejandra his mom?

 

[YoungLyss]

it says in wiki that he was adopted by who i dont know ..but neways he's a JACKSON

 

[elusive moonwalker]

wiki is a load of rubbish. alexandrea stated in court papers he wasnt adopted

Ohh, thought it was admitted by Jackie or something!

no.its nothing but a tabloid story. im sure it was denied by someone in family over the past few years

Is it 100% that Jermaine adopted him? :S Is Alejandra his mom?

according to alexandrea he wasnt adopted by any family members. alex is not his blood mother. its never been said as to who his parents are but he lists randy and alex as his parents although they arent biologically his.some think he could be ones of joes offspring. other than that hes not a jackson in the birth sense from what we know

 

[forevernmyheart]

Is Jermaine a single man again? Is he still married to Halima?

 

[twinklEE]

Randy lists sometimes Randy sometimes Jerms as his father obviously the guy is lucky enough to pick and choose

 

[elusive moonwalker]

Is Jermaine a single man again? Is he still married to Halima?

married to h

Funny you say that, because I think she has all those things you just mentioned.

Hmm...Thats funny, she looks like a Jackson to me. I agree, she even looks like Jackie too...spoooky.

Yehh.

Well she is a Jackson anyway.

I remember reading tabloid magazines in the 80s/90s about Brandi. The Tabloids were saying that She was Janet's daughter, but The Jacksons denied it I think.. Brandi seemed like she had such a great connection with her Uncle Michael, She was in his videos and in the LA Gear ads.

I read the Janet connection, but thats just tabloid rumour.

 

[MarielovesMJ]

There are still people who believe that Brandi is Renee Jackson (I don't believe it due to a conflicting time line.) Janet's daughter. Some people said that Jan was showing doing "Fame" but was'nt that show 1984 when Janet joined on the show. it was 85 when she left (and tabs said that when they say that Janet was showing and was Brandi born a lot earlier hence why I don't believe that. If that was the case the Kid should be in her early to mid 20's.

If I'm wrong plz correct me.
