Michael Jackson Foundation pays Randy and Germain’s debts
Roger Friedman wrote:
"One of the reasons Germain and Randy’s hostility toward the Michael Foundation exists is that the trustees refuse to pay them.
Both Germain and Randy Jackson had children with a woman named Alejandra. Randy lived with her, and Germain married her. Last winter, Germain went to Burkina Faso and wasn’t allowed to return to America unless he paid the overdue support for his children, because Alejandra had sued him. Catherine intervened and asked the trustees of the Michael Foundation to pay Germain’s $91,000 debt. The foundation paid Catherine $80,000, and she then gave that money to Germain. The same story happened with Randy.
Fortunately, they’re dealing with one woman. Whatever it is, dealing with one person is easier than dealing with two."
Germain and Randy expect the foundation’s favors to continue. Germain believes this isn’t Michael’s legacy, but the Jackson family’s legacy. After Michael’s death, he continues to pay the living expenses of his former wife and his brothers’ children, just as he did while he was alive. Alejandra, who has five children with Randy and Germain, continued living in the Jackson family home, in the home of the family, after the divorce. Michael paid his mother monthly, and Catherine also spent part of that money caring for Alejandra and her children. After Michael died, his foundation kicked Alejandra and her children out of the home and decided it had no duty to pay for their living expenses.
Friedman continues: "Of course, the foundation has never had a problem with other members of the family. For example, Jackie Jackson, Michael’s brother, works for the foundation. Marlon and Tito also each have their own careers and commitments and have been working independently of the family for years."
In 1975, Germain married Hazel Gordy, Berry Gordy’s daughter, and over three years had two children with her. In 1986, while he was still married to Hazel Gordy, Germain began a relationship with Margaret Maldonado and had a son with her that same year. A year later, Hazel gave birth to another child. Gordy eventually divorced Germain in 1988. Germain continued living with Maldonado and a year later their second child was born. Germain then began a relationship with the woman his brother Randy had three children with, and married her. Their two children were born in 1996 and 2000. In 2004, Germain married an Afghan woman named Halima Rashid. They live in Los Angeles and travel back and forth to London and Bahrain. In addition, Germain has a daughter named Dawn, born in 1984, and her mother’s identity hasn’t been identified.
Of course, according to Friedman, not all of Germain’s wives need his financial help. Hazel is the daughter of famous Berry Gordy, and Margaret Maldonado also has a successful career. It’s also said that Halima Rashid belongs to a wealthy family. After separating from Germain, Maldonado took her children with her and for years had no relationship with the Jackson family. She says Germain has never even helped her and her children with a single cent.
"It wasn’t worth going to court and fighting with him. I knew I could handle myself and my kids on my own."
She also never used the Jackson family name and hasn’t said anything about this family in the media, although she has said about Michael that when problems came up for him, the school kids—his children—were harassing her children.
"He was always their weird uncle. They followed him like ducklings, wherever he went, they followed. But there was no problem in between."
And now Randy Jackson...
Friedman writes about him: "He wasn’t a member of the Jackson Five, he doesn’t read, and he doesn’t have a high-paying job. At least once he has been through a divorce and once through bankruptcy because he trusted Brian Oxman, a lawyer who was disbarred."
Randy Jackson owes Alejandra, the mother of his three children, $500,000, but he has said that his dispute with his brother’s foundation has nothing to do with money.
Roger Friedman says that Michael had to pay a multi-million-dollar fine from the company Prescient Capital against his brother Randy. The company initially filed a $45 million lawsuit, which was settled for a few million dollars through Michael’s mediation.
Friedman wrote:
"It was Randy who fired Raymond Beane, Michael’s spokesperson, the night before the day the jury’s verdict was announced in the 2005 case, and Michael had no one to announce his not-guilty verdict to the media in a press conference. (Raymond Beane was appointed by Michael in 2006 as the general manager of his team.) And it was also Randy who sold the Calabasas security camera footage to the media during the recent chaos. Randy Jackson is responsible for the permanent rift that has been created between Michael’s children and the other members of the family."
It’s unclear why Randy sold the footage. Maybe he thought that when people saw the security forces throwing them out of the house, they would side with the Jacksons—but the result was the opposite. People saw Randy and Janet filming Michael’s children in a very strange way and trying to take their mobile phones from them.
