Jermaine's Secret Book

[Chance]

What we need to remember is MJ is human and like all of us he's not perfect.
Why Jermaine would do a tell all book is beyond me, this book says more about Jermaine than MJ.

Your right Michael is human ..it's not what Jermaine said about Michael that shocks me .. Michael may be all of those things ..but your brother shouldn't sell your shortcomings to the highest bidder

[mykidsmum]

I always felt that Jermaine was kinda slimy .. this just confirms it for me .. how disappointing

I have deleted some of the information as it was really offensive and I don't want to upset anyone.

THE FACTS
Excerpts from a book penned by Jermaine Jackson have been released.

THE SPIN

So it looks like Jermaine was all ready to throw dirt on Michael Jackson’s name in order to keep up with the payments for his lifetime supply of Luster’s.

Indeed, word has come out that a few years ago Jermaine was shopping around a book to three publishers; however, no one was interested.

But, that hasn’t stopped details from the book from coming.

Here you go:

“My brother is a superstar, yes. My brother is wealthy. He owns shares in Sony music. He drinks, he does drugs, he lies, he cheats, he changed his skin color and mostly, he’s human. He attracts gay men and wards off women like the plague.”

“He married a woman because she was pregnant and he was doing business with Muslims (which I am a Muslim) and Muslims won’t do business with someone who is engaged in having children without being married.

“He paid this woman, who nobody would ever look twice at, several million dollars. My brother purchased children. It is like a sanctioned black market. He is very powerful; he picked the sperm donor by using information provided by a sperm bank. Now, who can do that? Michael Jackson, that’s who, my brother.

“I have maintained my residence by my mother’s side at the family’s Hayvenhurst estate in Encino, California because I know how much I am needed there. Michael counts on me to be there as does the rest of my family.”

Even more of him getting his LaToya tell-all on:

“It was my little brother, he conceived the whole idea behind DreamWorks. The logo is still proudly the official logo of Neverland. Unfortunately, Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen all stole the idea from him. That’s one reason why Michael hates Jewish people so much. But he plays the game with them. There is a game that all in Hollywood play. But the Jews are the powerful ones and they have done a lot to put my brother in his place…just another ____. That’s what Don King told Michael at the start of the “Victory” tour. No matter what Michael, you’re just another ________.

“My brother doesn’t always learn the valuable lessons life teaches. He is stubborn, hard-headed and, at times, harsh. He is cold, calculating and devious. The blood of his father runs freely through him. We were all afraid that the blood of Joseph Jackson would eventually contaminate all of us.

“But this is still my family and I love every one of them and I won’t sit by and let my brother go to prison. Prison would kill him. I’ve thought about doing the time for him, if he’s convicted. Michael wouldn’t survive in prison for one day. He’d commit suicide.“

at the end of the article, they ask the readers if they think this is a real book or not. You didn't post that part. They even don't think that this is true.  Come on, the language used isn't book material...this is all someone trying to spread rumors about the Jacksons.

[Chance]

I didn't exclude it on purpose .. it's just the end part of the article dealt with some information that I didn't want to post.

More jermaine bashing eh?I remember all of this going down last year.Um wasnt stacy brown also behind that one crazy ass michael jackson book?i forgot the name.See?this why i am unsure who to believe.If he has tapes then play them for us.Just CLAIMING that you have proof does not AUTOMATICALLY mean you ACTUALLY have it.according to jermaine the book was supposedly about them growing up or something,not that crap.anyways i am not going to lie,i would hella buy this book.it seems controversial and interesting enough,especially if it were to be my first mj book.Not necessarily for the lies(not sure if its truthful or not though) but the entertainment if you will.From the very first time i heard about this book on ET it definitely caught my attention.i even want to do a book review for it at school,something that i am actually completely interested in for once and completely bash the authors in front of the class and glorify mj.lol.this stacy brown man already has a history of lieing about michael jackson

[Debbie Zebua]

i dont know guys, its just..i cannot even 10% sure that it's really from jermaine.
probably just another person trying to gain money or publicity by selling this book.
i'm just trying to follow michael's footsteps and message here. dont believe everything u read/hear. printed or on the news, doesnt nessesarily means 100% true. i never heard jermain said anything bad about michael from his own mouth either. everything i heard so far is from some "source" said blah blah or tabloids, gossip show, etc.

Have you not heard Word to the Badd?  Not sure how you could backstab your own brother much more than that!  Here's the link if you haven't...the words are to the right under "more info".

When I consider the number of tell-all books that have been written through the years the most surprising thing here is that Jermaine didn't find a publisher. C'mon...we're talking about a family member of MJs writing a dirty tell-all and talking about MJs image? I would have imagined that publishers would have jumped all over each other to get their hands on something of this magnitude. Who would have purchased it? Non fans, haters and followers of celebrity gossip... that's who. Yep I am really surprised that there were no takers.

I heard it was because Michael and the family put a stop to it, not because publishers weren't interested.

The writer of a book questioning MICHAEL JACKSON's innocence of child molestation charges, sexuality and drug habits, admits he was glad the project was axed - because the Jackson family are "unreal". The explosive manuscript, written in collaboration with the singer's brother JERMAINE JACKSON, was obtained by the New York Daily News yesterday - but ghostwriter STACY BROWN reveals it was shelved more than two years ago after Michael read it and "went ballistic".           In it, Jermaine reportedly questioned the pop superstar's innocence as he faced child molestation charges, which he was found not guilty of in 2005. He also slammed his brother as a drug and drink abuser with "a thing for young children". But the literary venture was scrapped - much to Brown's relief - after an enraged Michael got hold of a copy. Brown says, "The experience of writing the proposal... and then having Michael go nuts, Jermaine crying, and the family going into chaos mode was draining and weird, and one that I wouldn't want to deal with again. "Jermaine decided not to go forward with the book. In a way I'm glad none of this happened. I don't want to be affiliated with them anymore." He added the experience exposed "how out of touch, unreal, unrealistic and dysfunctional" the family is. LEGACY: SURVIVING THE BEST AND THE WORST would have been Brown's second study of the THRILLER hitmaker. He is the co-author of MICHAEL JACKSON: THE MAN BEHIND THE MASK.

Jermaine is a big question with no answer to me...

also Lisa Marie said Michael was really bad if he wanted to be....  THIS TURNS MY HORMONES UP... this unknown side of Michael is very sexy.. Good to know he was just human.(i know it is a stupid comment..but i like him not to be perfect!!)

ANyway,Jermaine did wrong talking about that in the book.Legit or not.

[mumof3]

Does anybody know the words to the jermain song as he says it so fast  so of it must be true and it doesn't worry me bacause j.  Sounds so jealous all his life he was unable to catch up wtb his younger brother must have been hard for him

[Game Player]

I don't even know if I can believe that Jermaine actually wrote this book. Jermaine gets trashed half as much as Mike.

[QuirkyDiana]

I have to agree with mmz. I think Michael Jackson the man, not the persona/image that he created and presented to the world, is far more interesting. Clearly when Jackson was 'in character' for  performances and public events he wouldn't have been an entirely different person from the one known to his family/close friends, but to me no-one really knows who he is - the essence. I guess only his family really known the differences between the two, but who do you believe? Does anyone really know the characters within the family and what went on between them?

[QuirkyDiana]

If Jackson did die, i think ultimately it may have been the dynamics in the family that led to the circumstances he found himself in. Sometimes the only people you can trust in certain situations are your family, and if there is bad blood, it's bound to skew your life in a way that is not good. It possibly leaves you more exposed because you have little to fall back on. The family element to this whole saga is very interesting - because you don't know who is telling the truth.

Interesting what he says about why MJ married Debbie Rowe.  I always wondered why he married her as it was plainly obvious that it was a surrogate arrangement.  I always wanted him to say "its a surrogate arrangement because i want a family and this is my way of doing it".  
No-one would have gone crazy over that, but i felt he was being dishonest.

I thought it may have been because of his mother and the whole Jehovah Witness thing...  now it seems it was because of the Muslim community.  Hmmm....

[Suzi~Ses~Its~Right]

If anyone watched Jermain when he was on celebrity big brother, the way he would stir up situations and slime away looking innocent, then you would not question his ability to attack his own brother. Jermain makes my skin crawl, something about him makes me feel really uncomy. I would love to know his score on a Machiavellian test, im betting he would have a very high score.

[letstalkagain]

I believe some of the things JJ says.  Because we do not know MJ personbally, and we only see what we are allowed to see.  Everybody can be good or bad, that is just our nature.   There is always a public side,
dealing with his peers and with the public.   So I do believe some of it, not all of it.

Seeing JJ act the way he does you have to feel sorry for him.  He was after all the original lead singer, when they showed their father their talents.  Joe then changed it and it became Mj as lead singer.  
Well, I guess as a child JJ never got over that, and the bigger Mj became the worst his jealousy grew.
I think that is only natural. especially if you crave attention as much as Jermaine does.


FYI

Janet is wrapping up her tell all book too, should come out later this year.  She said in Vanity article that" "Michael was corny, and had a dry sense of humor".    So........, here we go, this is so sad.
