Jackson Family Livid Over Leaked Blanket, Paris Vids

By Marc Schneider Posted May 13th 2010 01:00PM

Exclusive: The Jackson family knows all about the web cam videos on YouTube starring two of Michael Jackson's children, Paris and Blanket, and they want them taken down and the culprits who leaked them found. Reached by phone, Joe Jackson tells PopEater, "We don't know who [the hacker] was, but we're trying to find out." He says the family "doesn't want the videos on YouTube" and completely rules out any chance that Paris and Blanket put them up.

The bulk of the videos star 8-year-old Blanket -- acting out movie scenes, telling imaginative tales -- but two feature his sister Paris, 12. One video is of her simply saying, "Monkey, please help," while the other shows Paris lip-synching over an Omer Bhatti rap song.

In the room with Blanket is his cousin Donte, the adopted son of Randy Jackson. On his Twitter around the time the vids emerged, he said his "privacy is precious" and slams "others who live to violate."

Family matriarch Katherine Jackson recently arranged for Donte and his mother, Alejandra, along with several other cousins, to move out of the family compound. A family friend close to the situation tells us that the videos may have been recorded while they were all still living in the house. Alejandra has children with both Randy and Jermaine.

The source says the family is taking steps to have the videos removed.

According to the account owner of the KingOfPopKids YouTube channel, which posted many of the clips of Paris and Blanket, Jackson "fans" were responsible for hacking into their accounts online and posting the personal videos.

"Some 'fans' got into one family member account (Facebook and Photobucket) and posted them on the Web," the user told PopEater in an e-mail interview. "I have been told the account was public and then made private."

The user, who did not give a name, said he/she already removed one video after being contacted by Jackson family friend Omer Bahtti, and vowed to yank more if that's what the family wants.

"If they ask for the videos to be removed, we will surely respect their demand."

Over the course of their childhood, Michael kept his children's lives extremely private. Paris, Blanket and their older brother Prince were rarely seen in public, and on the rare occasion they were and could potentially be filmed or photographed, the singer covered their faces with masks or sheets. With the emergence of these videos -- coupled with the public appearances the children have made since their father's death -- those days are clearly gone.

There's no way Jackson is the biological father of those kids.
His whole life was a scam.
He should of came out of the closet years ago.

True Dadt......The Whole Family Putting Up A Front about everything! Michael was an Extremely Talented Artist and Entertainer no doubt! But Shame on his family for trying to make him out to be the victim. He was very obviously a drug addict, who's money allowed him to buy physician's, like many other entertainers in history. He was also very pshychologically damaged by his having been thrusted into the business so young and actually punished when he was so small for just being a kid, when Joe Jackson wanted to make Star's out of them and take it to the bank. Now his kid's biological or not are looking pretty Weird as well!

I agree, he lied and lied, he is not the father and why don't they cut the poor little boys hair and STOP callin him blanket????

By jimmy

wow....I suppose if he gives up the accustic...he'll be billed as "Electric Blanket"....sorry....my bad...!?!?!

By lrc

A parent can be the mother or father from the heart and not necessarily the body. How many natural mothers/fathers mistreat and abuse their children; hence, adoption. He loved them, nourished them heart and soul, so whether he was their biological father is questionable, but he was definitely their father in every other way and that is what matters the most.

It's surely the end of times. I agree with themeeker.

friskginger- Where there is a will, there is a way.

By Richard

What's the big deal? It's actually refreshing to see them acting as kids. I don't see why the family could be upset at the videos - other than the fact that they were hacked - to see the children without the wierdo masks, etc. is a breath of fresh air.

By motorpro

they are upset because they didn't make any profit from it

By JOE

I AGREE at least 100%

By barb

let me see ur kids faces all over the net and see if u like it or even ur face it is a respect thing and a mind ur own business thing

By Marsha

If the children had nothing to do with the vids being posted, I would be angry as well. Especially if this sort of thing violates some type of stipulation from the courts. And if they want or need them removed, then so be it. However I don't see the big deal either. They were having fun. They weren't doing anything crazy or out of line. TMZ snapped one of the last pics of Mike walking somewhere in the open with his children without the masks. So I think he was over that whole hiding them from the paps or protecting them from some crazed lunatic phase. Look a lot of people loved and cared for MJ very much and I think it's just natural for his fans to care about his children as well. And seeing them every now and then makes you not have to wonder how they're doing, so I would think that they probably find it nice to see them from time to time.

By theshowmestate

I agree. They are cute and acting like kids should. Apparently they were enjoying themselves. Let them be kids.

By Robert Jackson

Hasn't Elvis' family made more money off of him after his death than he made alive. I believe Elvis was prescription drug addict too, but its funny you nobody brings that up when they are talking about "the king."

By Michele Jackson

I thought the same thing. It was refreshing to see (except for the call from help from Paris) thechildrfen acting as children. Blanket was being silly and goofy which he should be allowed to do in private or in public. I think those children have suffered enough social awkwardness and psychological damage and would benefit from being part of a more consistent, not so secretive,family.

By vcrozas

Isn't that interesting aol knows the Jacksons are upset about you tube and aol plasters it all over the place. So aol what is your point? Are we supposed to be upset with you tube. This is ridculous...for some reason I did not think you would post the videos..guess I expected u to have lol integrity...now that's a joke
