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…
