Katherine Jackson interview on Dateline NBC

[teine21]

It worries me a bit   She herself spoke about Paris wanting nothing BUT pictures of MJ in her room. She explained that she never did like the veils, scarves & masks, so that's why she doesn't do it. She talked about Paris going to look at schools with Tito's sons & that she liked it & said she wants to go. She talked about Paris wanting to be an actress, Prince wanting to direct or produce & that Blanket has rhythm, can carry a tune & can dance. She talks about how MJ feared for his life, addresses the molestation accusations on her own. Seems sad at the end when she says no matter what happens to CM she won't be able to be at peace because it won't bring her son back. Also she talks about Debbie & how she's a part of their lives now. She just seems to be talking about him as if he really is gone. idk, but it worried me a little bit. Did anyone watch it, I didn't see any threads. The host also talked about all of the rumors & stuff surrounding that Mann guy who worked on the book with her & the Shaffel guy who produced this interview. As well as how the comments she made about Jordan & Evan Chandler were just rumors & that Evan Chandler's death had nothing to do with the trial.

I saw the interview.  I felt like Katherine looked well and was in good spirits. I like the stories that she told about MJ because no one knows him better than his mom.  I was suprised that she hadn't met Debbie Rowe prior to June 25th.  That tells us that MJ and Debbie obviously wasn't living together or romantically linked.  A man in love with a woman the first thing he does is introduce her to his mom.  It's good that Katherine said her and Debbie are on good terms since they met.  She also said the kids are fabulous so that's a blessing.  The only part I found a little sad was the part where they were talking about MJ's debt and his utilities almost got cut off and the house was in trouble of being foreclosed.  They even admitted on the show that she needs the money from the book to keep things going.  Katherine was holding the book the whole time while speaking like she's trying to get it out there.  That guy Mark Shaffel working with her said that Mother Katherine isn't a judgemental person when he was asked what she thinks of his past.  He also said MJ knew he made some porn stuff in the past and it wasn't a big issue for MJ.

As far as the foreclosure on the house & Mark Shaffel's past & Katherine's opinions. He gave the impression that she didn't know about it, so how can he know how judgemental she would have been? Nobody asked her what she thought. As for the foreclosure rumors, she never addressed them it was all said by some guy, no comment whatsoever from Katherine. So unless she says something about those things, what they said doesn't mean anything to me.

I'd watched interview and Katherine looks good for 80 years old. If I didn't know her age i would swear she was in her 60's.  That surprised me when she said that she never met Debbie Rowe. But according to J. Randy Taraborrelli's The Magic, the Madness the whole story.  Katherine did meet Debbie Rowe.  Katherine is the reason why MJ and Debbie married. Debbie was pregnant for the second time, since she had a miscarriage. Katherine had find out that Michael was going to be a father on the news. This what she said,"This reminds me of what Michael's father did in the seventies." She was speaking about Joh'Vonnie. "It broke my heart. I won't have history repeat itself with Michael. I just won't have it." Katherine had met Debbie on several occasions. Katherine went to talk to Debbie about the sanctity of marriage and the Jehovah's Witness faith.  Katherine wanted her grandchild to have a name. I know Katherine talked about how close she and Michael were, but it seems that Michael didn't tell his mother everything. Well, my daughters don't tell me everything, but I know when they are hiding something. Also, didn't MJ sue Marc Schaffel and Schaffel sue Michael?  Here are articles that I found. Katherine did know Marc Schaffel for a long time. I am trying to find the video of Michael cross examination about this case.

I don't believe Katherine is broke and needs the money and I don't believe about MJ's utilities almost getting cut off. I feel that this more Tabloid trash.

It shocked me too when Katherine said that she and Debbie had not met until after Michael's departure.  That just seems unlikely to me.  They must have met at court at least.  The other thing she said that stood out to me was said she had last seen Michael a week and a half before the 25th.  She said she went to visit him and the kids and they talked.  So, all these family members saying that they were kept away by security, and Joe accusing her of not talking to him...true or not?

During the interview on Dateline she is quoted as saying "FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD"  :shock:

During the interview on Dateline she is quoted as saying "FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD"  :shock:  

KATHERINE JACKSON: They gave me a party and invited my favorite pianist, and then, there was a long ribbon all the way to where I was sitting, and they had me follow the ribbon like follow the yellow brick road. Follow the ribbon – there was a Rolls Royce with a big ribbon on top of it. They had told Janet to shop for a car of my favorite color.  She had bought a big red Rolls Royce.

That's when she, MJ & the kids discussed their roles & the hoax, maybe? Just saying...

[teine21]

Also, during this interview the host guy was talking about how the kids are homeschooled & he said all of that will change when they GO AWAY to a private school this fall. Katherine says no decision has been mae yet but that the kids went to look at schools with Tito's son & that Paris liked it & wanted to go. Jermaine also mentioned it in his video that the kids were going to go to a private school. Hmm, didn't we all say one day the kids are going to be sent away to a private school or boarding school, looks like we were right

1.- "i had fun writing this book"      --> wtf..

2.- "She says all three are discovering their own talents"
     Katherine: "Prince loves the camera, and they were doing this with Michael, before Michael passed 'cause he wanted to be behind scenes and do movies and things like that so Prince was working with him. Paris wants to be an actress...that she is already (laughter)..but uhm, she wants to play the piano, and she still plays it "

3.- "One of the main reasons she agreed to write the book was because she needed the money" --> Er..didn't she say it was because people needed to know how Michael was because people mistreated and misunderstood him?  

4.- "The last time I saw Michael before he passed away was about a week and a half. I had gone to visit them, the children were there, we talked, we played around and had fun together..[...] and that was the last time I can remember seeing my son alive"  ... This is a big lie. There are two options: she saw Michael 2 days before he died when she, Michael and Murray might have talked in that room for 3h  or on 15may when they met with Randy Philips, Joe, Leonard Rowe and Paul Gongaware in Beverly Hilton hotel,   but not 1week and a half before! So what's the story behind the storY?

so... she saw him dead???
she would say : "that was the last time i can remember seeing my son", just that...  :roll:
and that phrase: I can remember... :roll:
