MICHAEL Jackson's kids have had a bizarre upbringing - from questions about who their real parents are, to being covered with head scarves and even being dangled over a balcony. Prince, Paris and Blanket's dad was one of the most famous men in the world and was rocked by near-constant scandal — including repeated child sex abuse allegations. Their mum was almost entirely absent from their lives, having handed over her children as a “gift” to their dad after an unusual conception. Jackson first met Debbie Rowe when she was working as in his dermatologist’s office in the late ’80s, a close friendship forging between the pair. After a brief, very public marriage to Lisa Marie Presley ended in 1996, Jackson, then 38, was upset he still had not fulfilled his dreams of becoming a father.'GIFTS' FOR MICHAEL “He said ‘I really want to be a dad,’ and I said ‘So be a dad’,” Rowe revealed during a rare interview in a 2003 … [Read more...] about Inside the bizarre upbringing of Michael Jackson’s three kids Paris, Prince and Blanket – from mysteries over their mums to facemasks and balcony danglings

Mum of Michael Jackson ‘Leaving Neverland’ documentary accuser Wade Robson ‘says her son repeatedly DENIED being abused by the star’
THE mum of Michael Jackson accuser Wade Robson reportedly told friends that her son had always DENIED being sexually abused by the pop star. Joy Robson allegedly quizzed Wade, 36, about the allegations - but he insisted nothing had happened "time and again", it is claimed. He even repeated his denials when the King of Pop died in 2009, according to a family source who spoke to DailyMail.com - but Wade eventually changed his story in 2013. Aussie-born dancer Wade now features alongside fellow "victim" James Safechuck, 40, in a bombshell new documentary Leaving Neverland. The four-hour film - which accuses the star of sickening child sex abuse - aired to stunned audiences at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah last week. But Wade's allegations, which first emerged in 2013, were a "shock" to his family - who had always been led to believe Jackson was a positive role-model. The source said: "When Wade finally came clean and told his family he was abused by Michael Jackson for years, … [Read more...] about Mum of Michael Jackson ‘Leaving Neverland’ documentary accuser Wade Robson ‘says her son repeatedly DENIED being abused by the star’
Corey Feldman accuses Hollywood of ignoring paedo problem and demands justice for ‘victims like me’ in wake of Michael Jackson documentary
COREY Feldman has accused Hollywood of ignoring its paedophile problem in the wake of the explosive Michael Jackson documentary. Feldman, 47, known for his roles in movies such as The Goonies and Stand By Me, said the film industry had made amends for its treatment of women but has still not addressed the alleged abuse of kids. In an article of NBC, he called for an end to statute of limitations in many US states which makes it impossible to prosecute historic sex abuse cases. The actor, who announced his role as the ambassador for charity Child USA, said he is now demanding justice for children who have been abused. He wrote: “What has happened to children in my industry was by and large ignored and, at this point, it’s been all but brushed under the rug. “Hollywood seems much more ready to accept responsibility for what it's done to women than they are willing to face that there is still a deep-seated virus within this industry — and, most unfortunately, … [Read more...] about Corey Feldman accuses Hollywood of ignoring paedo problem and demands justice for ‘victims like me’ in wake of Michael Jackson documentary
