Michael Jackson’s father, Joseph, has an idea what his kids are worth even as adults.
Yesterday I told you that Patrick Alloco of AllGood Entertainment made an offer to Michael Jackson’s siblings to tour around the world. In his letter to Jermaine Jackson he said the five brothers were worth $1.5 million, Janet $4 mil, La Toya $500K, and Rebbie just $250K.
Well, Alloco tells me now that he didn’t just arbitrarily make up those figures. He got them from Joseph Jackson’s henchman, er, lackey: Leonard Rowe.
You remember Leonard Rowe. He’s the guy who went on Larry King with Joe. Then I told you he had a nice, long prison record. The odds are, if Leonard Rowe gave figures, they came from Joseph Jackson. Now we know what he thinks of Rebbie and LaToya. The abuse never ends.
Alloco says: “We wanted to give the family a lump sum payment for them to divide amongst themselves; Rowe was adamantly opposed and said that the offer needed to separate Janet’s guarantee from the brothers and so on.”
Aloco also says that it was Rowe who told him that a London promoter had offered the Jacksons, with the exception of Jermaine, a $4 million cashier’s check last week to do his (the London promoter’s) shows. But it seems that Rowe—under instructions from Joseph—was making that up to use as leverage.
As I’ve said before, if Michael Jackson had a grave. he’d be spinning in it!

Roger, was Michael Jackson gay?

Sam, I want to know the same thing as well as whether he was celibate for one other reasons.

For God’s sake why do you any of you need to know that? Michael was not gay!

“In his letter to Jermaine Jackson he said the five brothers were worth $1.5 million” –
Does this mean $1.5 million total for the five brothers, or that each brother is separately worth $1.5 million? The article does not specify.

The Jacksons are an embarassement. I wonder how Michael survived in that family. It is just mindboggling how stupid they are all are (with the exception of Janet & Rebbie, of course).
All the stories that have come out about the Jacksons since MJ’s passing, makes me feel even sadder. I now realise how much stress this family has put on him.
RIP MJ…You are indeed, in a far more better place.

The more I see from this family, the more I’m becoming grateful that God rescued MJ from this nightmare. Outside of his children, who wasn’t “in it” for the money? Joe Jackson, you disgust me.

Sam, are you gay? Good grief.

Scoff all you want: That breakdown of worth is pretty accurate, though Jermaine’s worth more than the other brothers because he’s had a solo career and has the only real lead voice among them. Rebbie and LaToya should be flattered any promoter wants them on stage along side their hit-making siblings.
Of course, the group shouldn’t do anything business-wise with their dad, who’s a shifty sicko.
Michael spinning in his grave? Doubt it. According to what’s his face, his former publicist who later wrote a book and testified at the trial, Michael hated his brothers and tried to sabotage their careers by signing them to his label then not releasing any music (it’s been 20 years!). Wish Roger would address that since he seems to defend that publicist.

Frank Dileo was smack dab in the middle of this deal. In fact he was the one pushing it when Michael was alive. Why isn’t he mentioned?
I am not sure I believe this story but I will say that Janet is a star and she should get paid more than her siblings in any business deal. Perhaps Frank Dileo can shed more light on this.
Also is Alloco had a conversation with this writer he can kiss any chance of any show. This writer hated Michael Jackson and did everything he could to malign him when he was alive and even after death. He demeans him by calling him Jacko, something Michael and the family hated. So no deal for this guy.
And lastly, I’m sorry but I am not going to buy into bashing an 80 year old man. That’s just too cheap and lowdown for me.

For Sam, fya and others
SURELY Michael Jackson was NOT gay, he was very shy and reserved about questions concerning his sentiments and very private life and he had discreet and normal relation with women that even paparazzi did not knew.
