Report: Debbie Rowe gives up MJ’s kids for $4 million
UPDATE:
Debbie Rowe’s lawyer tells People.com that reports that she’ll give up rights to her children for $4 million are bogus. “There has been no agreement reached between Ms. Rowe and the Jacksons,” says lawyer Eric George wrote in a statement reported on People.com. “Ms. Rowe has not accepted and will not accept any additional financial consideration beyond the spousal support she and Michael personally agreed to several years ago.”Earlier ….
In today’s sick MJ news, The New York Post has reported that Debbie Rowe has sold her kids to Michael Jackson’s mother.
The newspaper reports that Michael Jackson’s not-so-attractive-in-the-face ex-wife has agreed to drop her bid for parental rights in exchange for $4 million.
Isn’t that just wonderful. No.
The deal has apparently been sealed in a Los Angeles court. Let’s just hope this story isn’t true. As a general rule people shouldn’t go around selling and buying kids, even cute royal ones.
Debbie Rowe bore Prince Michael Joseph Jackson, 12, and Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, 11, for the King of Pop.
His 7-year-old “Blanket” Prince Michael Jackson II was conceived by vitro.
There has been speculation that Rowe is not the natural mother of the two oldest kids.
Katherine Jackson, perhaps the most sane Jackson, has temporary custody of all three of her son’s kids.
This isn’t the first time Rowe has agreed to buzz off for cold hard cash.
Rowe reportedly gave up custody of the kids when she divorced Jackson in 1999. As part of the settlement, she received $8 million and a house in Beverly Hills. She terminated her parental rights in 2001.
Rowe came back into the picture during Michael Jackson’s child molestation case. For the second time, she agreed to give Jackson full custody of the kids.
That time, MJ gave her $4 million and a $900,000 house in exchange, the UK Sun reports.
