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.

do they even supervise those kids

By manfrommontana

Small wonder why Pappa Joe wants those videos removed. The second one showing a child saying 'please help" sends up all kinds of red flags. That sounds like an invitation to get child services over there NOW!

Yes, manfrommontana, and by the way, the sky is falling.

By Paula

That was my first thought too. Play acting saying "help"? maybe, but best to have it checked out. Better safe than sorry.

By andie

does this kid have his father's eyes (and brows) or what! WOW ... oh - and also looks like his has Michael's original African American nose ... YES! :D

By Bill

I believe that the Jackson Family has every reason in the world to be livid. Michael Jackson has been dead for a year. Yet, the jackals of the media continue to dig up dirt on the man. I wish that the media would simply find someone else to dish their dirt on, and would let the man R.I.P. These "Media types" live off of others' misfortunes. I find that to be extremely disgusting.

By barb

u r absolutaly right just leve them kids alone the one they should be picking on they r not & isnt the media the reason princiss diana is no longer with us

By juney

Unbelievable. There's someone living in Katherine's house who is the snitch of all these things. Wonder who that could be? Maybe Jermaine? Not saying anything of course. And if MJ3 have access to You Tube, look at all the awful stuff that people write about their father. Is this open for their view? But something tells me they know who their father really was and can get past it. He did well by them.

By James

The family is just mad that now they cant sell these videos.

By DESIREE

By rex

Desiree, michael is calling you from the other side. he cant wait until you join him
see you soon

By jemma

You love three children that you have never even met and probably will never meet who have done nothing whatsoever to deserve adoration? You're pathetic. They are NOT HIS REAL KIDS.

By me

The boy Blanket is a tad on the strange side, couldn't even tell if he was speaking English or not. Paris seems incredibly level-headed and introspective, I doubt she would have done it. One of the cousins probably did.

By mzjanuary205

Oh, give the kid a break! He's PLAYING with his cousin and having fun! He's doing what kids do - playing around and having a good time. Isn't he even allowed to do things that regular kids do? Damn.
