MJ custody drama: Diana Ross v. Debbie Rowe?
Another NOTW bombshell allegation: that “The Boss” Miss Ross had a pact with Michael Jackson to keep his kids away from Debbie Rowe. Claims the tabloid:
Diana, 65, told a close pal: “I promised Michael I’d never allow that woman – we didn’t mention her name – to get to his babies.
“Michael was terrified she’d end up with their children should anything happen to him. He begged me not to let her get them. That was his worst nightmare.
“It’s a huge responsibility but I’ll keep my word if I have to. That woman doesn’t deserve them. With Michael passing I’ve lost my best friend, we were loyal to one another and I don’t know what I’ll do without him.
Ouch! If true, it could mean next week’s custody trial could get ugly … and star-studded…
“We discussed him putting me as the children’s guardian in his will but I didn’t know he’d actually gone through with it. I was shocked he’d made it official.
And why would Jackson have come to dislike the mother of his children, whom he seemed quite cool with in 1998? If you read between the lines of the News of the World Story, it could have something to do with those child molestation allegations back in 2003, and what Debbie did about them:
Rowe initially signed away her parental rights to Jackson in 2001, folllowing a 1999 divorce, agreeing he was the “best father ever”. But in December 2003, after 14-year-old Gavin Arvizo claimed Jackson had sexually abused him, Debbie made a legal application to regain temporary custody of her children.
After that, apparently Jackson became more distant:
… “I was always told that our children were treated like royalty and were very happy children. I wanted to speak with Michael over the past few years to talk about our children but he did not want to speak with me.
Could Michael have come to see Debbie as an enemy in the all-or-nothing war for his reputation? The plot thickens…

I see several reasons for Michaels Children regarding their guarianship and why he chose his mother and Diana Ross…One michael had lived with Diana and her children when he first came from Indiana and knew and liked what kind of parenting she chose. Diana has raised 5 stable and respectful children, who seem to never get into trouble. She was a hands on mom even with her spectacular career, shed do a concert in one state be home in the morning to see her kids off to school and fly out and do another concert…and come back home where her kids woke up to mom and not a nanny. This is the reason Micheal chose Diana as back-up Guardian, and another reason is that Diana Ross is one rich woman, who would not need to take his chidrens money for her personal gain. He chose right!
I agree. My sister went to school with one of the Ross children and had the opportunity to meet Miss Ross. From what she tells me, D.R. is an excellent mother and stable influence on her children. She would probably make a terrific guardian for Michael’s kids, especially given how close they were. Great comment.
i agree with your comments diana ross would make a great guardian for michaels children,she is a class act,shes got loads of money and has brought up five great children of her own,michael was very shrewd in choosing miss ross.
