EXCLUSIVE: Family Fight Led Jacksons To Drop Charging Fans for Memorial Service
Posted on Jul 03, 2009 @ 08:59AM
After nearly a day of family members arguing, the Jackson family has dropped their plan to charge the public $25 to attend a memorial service for Michael Jackson at Staples Center.
RadarOnline.com broke the news of the family’s plan to charge the public and many fans were outraged. The family was not going to announce they were charging for several more days. Backed into a corner by the bad publicity, family members had heated closed door discussions and many arguments on Thursday. They blamed a close family associate for leaking the news and decided the only way they could save face with fans was to drop the plan to charge.
The family is in turmoil not over the memorial but also the will and how it will be administered by the executor, attorney John Branca. Randy, Jermaine and Janet are pushing their mother Katherine to fight certain aspects of the will involving how the money will be distributed. Other family members want them to leave Katherine alone because they believe she is too fragile for a battle. A family meeting is planned for Friday.

Now on the child incident that almost caused his career. Who as a child never wanted to sleep in a strange house by themself. You feel safer with an adult.

I hope he will be buried in Never Never Land under the tree he love to climb. That's why I use his name instead of my name. For I wanted to speak on his behalf. My name is really Aretha Green

If he wanted to act like a child that was his business. Who would not want to be a child again to see the world through a childs eyes. To see only the good in the world for children are closer to God.

That goes to my next thing. If he wanted to to change his face its no different than people trying to imitate their favorite icons. "Need to take the plank out of your eyes before you take the sawdust from his. So you are able to see more clearly.

Plus if it was Joe Jackson that did it Micheal was human and yes was hurt by his father and I have to say I have faced the same things but I know Michael would show some respect for his parents.

$25.00 is nothing compared to see him face to face. Due to I was not able to go to concerts as a child only to see him on TV. con't.

This is coming from a person that was not able to go concerts as a child but just to see him on TV. $25.00 is nothing for that moment to see him face to face.

Micheal was not just a icon but a brother and $25.00 is nothing to see him face to face. Since I was not albe to attend any concert as a child.
