Michael Jackson’s son breaks silence on family drama

Jul 27, 2012

Los Angeles: Prince Jackson, son of late Michael Jackson, has finally opened up about the family feud and says he is “really angry and hurt”.

The 15-year-old took to Twitter and said that his grandmother, Katherine, was “misguided” and “lied to” by relatives, The Hollywood Reporter said.

“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 realised how misguided and how badly she was lied to. I am really angry and hurt,” Prince posted.

Alongwith the tweet, he also posted an image of his cell phone screen, featuring a group chat that he had started to several family members.

The image showed a conversation that appears to include Prince, his aunts Rebbie and Janet Jackson, and another relative, Austin Jackson.

His text reads: “This is enough so I am texting you for the simple fact that WE DEMAND TO SPEAK TO MY GRANDMA NOW!!!” A reply that was apparently sent by Janet read: “Don’t let them pls.”

Prince said that the group text message that he had initially sent was replied to but his relatives didn’t know that I could see the responses. “For this whole time, we were denied contact to our grandmother,” he added.

The exchange reportedly took place a few hours after Janet was seen trying to take Paris’ cell phone away from her in Katherine’s driveway.
