Jermaine's 2003 book proposal (NY Post articles)

His brother admits Jacko's 'thing for young children'

DAILY NEWS WEST COAST BUREAU CHIEF

LOS ANGELES - Jermaine Jackson feared his kid brother Michael might be guilty of child molestation, but backed him at trial because he thought the pop star would commit suicide in prison, according to a bombshell book proposal obtained by the Daily News.
In a tell-all outline shopped to publishers just weeks after Michael's arrest in November 2003, Jermaine described the Pop King as a sometimes out-of-control drug and booze abuser with a calculating mean streak and "a thing for young children."

The eight-page proposal for "Legacy: Surviving the Best and the Worst," lists Michael Jackson's preferred substances as Vicodin, Demerol, codeine, Percocet, cocaine, Jack Daniels and wine.

"Does he really know what he does with these kids?" Jermaine wondered.

"I don't want to tell you my brother's innocent. I am not certain that he is," Jermaine said in the tome-teaser drafted by author Stacy Brown, who co-authored "Michael Jackson: The Man Behind the Mask" with the singer's former publicist, Bob Jones.

But Jermaine's still-unpublished tale is the ultimate insider look at the troubled star.

He admits that the family has protected Jacko's image and says that Jackson also cheats, lies and even changed the color of his skin.

Even the pop star's behavior with his own nephews has left his family "shaken," according to Jermaine. He recounts the family coming together after the death of brother Tito's ex-wife in the mid 1990s and finding Michael sitting on a bed with Tito's young sons and holding them in a disturbing manner.

Jermaine also dished about the singer's bizarre behavior shortly before he surrendered to authorities to face charges in November 2003.

Holed up in a Las Vegas hotel room, Michael calmly watched a "Pinocchio" DVD with his three children in his lap, but he later flew into a rage, trashing the room and breaking every glass, lamp and dish in it.

The protective big brother vowed to help Michael beat the rap because "Michael couldn't survive one day in prison ... He'd commit suicide."

Other bombshell teasers in Jermaine's outline include:


That during the Jackson 5 days, Michael's brothers feared he was gay. The brothers met lots of women while touring and all eventually fell in love. "But Michael, well, he wasn't interested. We used to quietly say that we couldn't have a gay brother."

Michael hates Jews because he thinks Hollywood moguls Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen stole the idea for Dreamworks studio, including the boy-on-the moon logo, from him.
"But the Jews are the powerful ones and they have done a lot to put my brother in his place ... just another n-----."

That a devious and calculating Michael squashed his brothers' solo musical careers.
But the family stood behind Michael despite pain, doubts and misgivings, unwilling to give up on "our little brother."

Jermaine: Michael 'bought' his kids

Michael Jackson's two older children by ex-wife Debbie Rowe were fathered by a "sperm donor" - not the "natural way" as the pop star has insisted for years, according to his brother Jermaine's 2003 bombshell book proposal.
"My brother purchased children," Jermaine, 51, says in an outline for his never-published tell-all titled "Legacy: Surviving the Best and the Worst."

Rowe, the mother of Prince Michael I, who is 9, and Paris, who is almost 8, was paid "several million dollars" to carry the artificially inseminated babies, Jermaine says.

"It is like a sanctioned black market," Jermaine said.

Jermaine cattily referred to Rowe (left) as a woman "nobody would ever look twice at" and said the only reason Michael married her was to appease his Muslim pals who do not approve of out-of wedlock pregnancies.

Jermaine offered no explanation for how Michael acquired his third child, 4-year-old Prince Michael II (nicknamed Blanket), whose mother has never been identified.

When Rowe and Jackson divorced in 1999, she signed a confidentiality agreement that barred her from ever discussing the children's "paternity, Michael's mental or physical condition, purported drug use, sexual behavior," according to a 2005 court document.

Rowe is currently battling Michael Jackson for access to her children. She previously surrendered her parental rights in 2001, but won them back in 2004 when a court found improper procedures were followed in the first action. An appellate court recently backed Rowe's parental rights, too. Now a judge will decide what's best for the kids.

Bro dished dirt on Jacko
By LEELA de KRETSERI

March 5, 2006 -- Michael Jackson's big brother Jermaine tried to use the King of Pop's kid-sex trial to shop a tell-all book that dished ugly dirt about his brother - and said Jermaine didn't know if Michael was guilty or not of child molestation.
Jermaine, 51, described creepy encounters between Michael, 47, and children, but failed to get the book, "Legacy: Surviving the Best and the Worst," published, sources said.

Jermaine wrote: "I don't want to tell you my brother's innocent. I am not certain that he is."

In the badly written proposal - a copy of which was seen by The Post - Jermaine waxes lyrical on all aspects of Michael's life, including how the family has always been suspicious of the singer's feelings for boys.

Jermaine revealed that the family first encountered those suspicions when another Jackson brother, Tito, lost his ex-wife, leaving their three children without a mother.

"I remember Michael sitting on the bed with Tito's boys - Taj, T.J. and Terrell, crying and holding them," Jermaine writes.

"He held them in an almost uncomfortable manner that I will discuss openly and honestly [in the book]. The entire house was shaken."



Jermaine also says that he suspects that his younger brother may have been a victim of sexual abuse by their dad, Joseph.

"There were times when Joseph and some of these men he'd describe as "very important business people," would meet late at night in our hotel suite with Michael, and Michael alone," Jermaine writes.

"I always felt something was wrong with that and Michael would always be sick for days after these "meetings."

The superstar singer's fatherhood was also called into question in the book proposal that sources say was sent to several publishers.

HarperCollins and St. Marks, sources said, passed on the book because Jermaine refused to say his brother was guilty in the child-molesting case in which he was acquitted last year.

Jermaine says Michael's ex-wife Debbie Rowe was artificially inseminated by a "sperm donor" in order to have his oldest two children Prince Michael and Paris.

"He picked the sperm donor by using information provided by a sperm bank," Jermaine writes.

"Now, who can do that? Michael Jackson, that's who, my brother. What power, what following. Yes, he's eccentric. Yes, he has a thing for young children."

Jermaine said he suspects Wacko Jacko's drug use may have left him unable to remember what he did to young children.


"The Demerol, the Vicodin, the Percocet, Doeine, the cocaine, the Jack Daniels, the wine. Does he really know what he does with these kids?" Jermaine writes.

JERMAINE JACKSON DENIES REPORTS

Jermaine is on Los Angeles Radio now refuting all recent reports about his book deal shopping and what was claimed in his proposition- i think the "jon sally block party' is the show he is on; perhaps it's a national radio show, but in LA it's 100.3 The Beat.

The host did just say that Jermaine called in to refute reports trying to destroy the family. Then the female host said something like "MJ is innocent, he moved away to life his life, so leave him alone".
