Paris, Prince and Bigi have posed in front of the cameras together, elegant and seemingly serene. Michael Jackson’s three children attended the premiere of MJ: The Musical at London’s Prince Edward Theatre, a musical based on the life of the late King of Pop.
Michael Jackson had Paris, 25, and Prince, 27, with Debbie Rowe, to whom he was married from 1996 to 2000. Blanket, 22, called Bigi, was born via surrogacy; The identity of his biological mother is unknown. The meeting of the three brothers, in the British capital, took place at a turbulent time for the family: their grandmother, Katherine Jackson, is mired in a legal battle over the singer’s possessions. A decision that she has put against her grandchildren.
The mother of the author of Smooth Criminal either Thriller has appealed a court decision regarding the sale of half of his son’s music catalog to Sony for $600 million; undertaken by the artist’s executors, John Branca and John McClain. Jackson’s three children, along with several charities, would be the beneficiaries of this transaction, and are in favor of the sale.
Since it was the grandmother who filed the lawsuit, the youngest of Jackson’s children, Blanket, believes that you should pay your own legal fees, instead of drawing on inheritance funds. This is estimated at about 1.5 billion dollars. The young man considers that, with said fortune, he could afford it without effort.
Legal fees currently amount to half a million dollars, while the dispute against the sale to Sony is ongoing. According to Blanket’s lawyers, Katherine’s appeal is doomed to failure. “It is clear that the appeal is unlikely to succeed,” they write. “Given these probabilities, our client has decided not to waste his resources in participating in this appeal. However, Katherine has decided to appeal this Court’s ruling. This decision does not benefit the heirs.” The fight continues.
