Prince Jackson, Michael’s oldest son, has broken his silence on the bizarre family drama unfolding around the late King of Pop’s children and estate, blasting his relatives’ “lies” and saying he’s “angry and hurt.”
As Gossip Cop has reported, Prince and his siblings Paris and Blanket are now under the guardianship of their cousin, T.J. Jackson, after their grandmother and guardian Katherine Jackson disappeared for more than a week amid rumors she’d been effectively kidnapped by other family members.
Katherine has now returned following several days of family infighting that occasionally turned violent, saying her loss of custody is “based on a bunch of lies.”
Early Thursday, Prince Jackson took to Twitter to blast his family.
Here’s his statement in full:
I would first like to start off this tweet by thanking the fans that have always stood by me and my family, my dad really appreciated your support and I still treasure it to this day. As I am sure everyone is well aware of the events that have been going on. I have been holding off on backing up my sister and her tweets avidly because I was waiting for the time to reveal my side.
As long as I can remember my dad had repeatedly warned me of certain people and their ways. Although I am happy my grandma was returned, after speaking with her I realized how misguided and how badly she was lied to. I’m really angry and hurt.
The following image is of a group chat I had started to several family members. This group text message I had started was replied to but they didn’t know that I could see the responses. For this whole time, they denied us contact to our grandmother. “If you continue with your lies I will continue with the truth.”
The 15-year-old then posted a screenshot of his group chat from Monday (SEE BELOW), in which he wrote, “This is enough so I am texting you for the simple fact that WE DEMAND TO SPEAK TO MY GRANDMA NOW!!!”
Janet Jackson’s reply, apparently written without realizing Prince could see it: “Don’t let them pls.”
Gossip Cop will have updates as the drama continues to unfold.
