Hollywood Reporter

Three years ago I wrote in my old column about a stunning document that Jermaine had put together with Stacy Brown, a family friend and co-author of an amazing memoir with Michael Jackson’s late, longtime PR man, Bob Jones.

Jermaine often protested that such a proposal existed, but he talked about it with Larry King on TV. New York literary agent Laurie Liss sent the proposal around to three publishers, but no one bit. Maybe they’ll be more interested now that Michael is gone.

I was so interested in Jermaine’s 2003 proposal that I called around to find the actual document. Sure enough, there still were copies to be found.

Here are excerpts from it, in Jermaine’s own voice, circa early 2003:

“My brother is a superstar, yes. My brother is wealthy. He owns shares in Sony music. He drinks, he does drugs, he lies, he cheats, he changed his skin color and mostly, he’s human. He attracts gay men and wards off women like the plague.”

“He married a woman because she was pregnant and he was doing business with Muslims (which I am a Muslim) and Muslims won’t do business with someone who is engaged in having children without being married.

“He paid this woman, who nobody would ever look twice at, several million dollars. My brother purchased children. It is like a sanctioned black market. He is very powerful; he picked the sperm donor by using information provided by a sperm bank. Now, who can do that? Michael Jackson, that’s who, my brother.

“I have maintained my residence by my mother’s side at the family’s Hayvenhurst estate in Encino, California because I know how much I am needed there. Michael counts on me to be there as does the rest of my family.”

[Columnist note: this would verify the long-held belief that Katherine and Joseph Jackson, who have filed for divorce in the past, do not live together. Joseph’s fathering of an illegitimate child, reported and documented in several places, could have contributed to this.]

“It was my little brother, he conceived the whole idea behind DreamWorks. The logo is still proudly the official logo of Neverland. Unfortunately, Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen all stole the idea from him. That’s one reason why Michael hates Jewish people so much. But he plays the game with them. There is a game that all in Hollywood play. But the Jews are the powerful ones and they have done a lot to put my brother in his place….just another nigger. That’s what Don King told Michael at the start of the “Victory” tour. No matter what Michael, you’re just another nigger.

“My brother doesn’t always learn the valuable lessons life teaches. He is stubborn, hard-headed and, at times, harsh. He is cold, calculating and devious. The blood of his father runs freely through him. We were all afraid that the blood of Joseph Jackson would eventually contaminate all of us.

“But this is still my family and I love every one of them and I won’t sit by and let my brother go to prison. Prison would kill him. I’ve thought about doing the time for him, if he’s convicted. Michael wouldn’t survive in prison for one day. He’d commit suicide.“Joseph did some disgusting things to LaToya and Rebbie, especially. If it weren’t for Mother’s loyalty to him, he’d probably be in prison for what he did to our sisters.”

It wasn't Jermaine's writing, but Stacy Brown's...

He said on Larry King that it's still coming out, hopefully in late 2009.

Jermaine's version is different from Stacy's version

It was Stacy Brown who gave these "insights". Stacy Brown is a well known MJ hater, who claims to know the Jackson family. Jermaine has stated that the book puts Michael in a POSITIVE light and that Stacy Brown didn't even talk to him [Jermaine] about writing bad stuff.
Stacy Brown said, on court, that he had written a book with Bob Jones saying MJ was a pedophile and shit like that, in order to make money. He added that he knew nothing about Michael's sexuality or lifestyle, yet he was paid to invent stuff. He declared that he had only met Jackson two times (and barely talked to him) and had little contact with the Jackson family. Brown is also (in)famous for saying that the Jackson family didn't believe MJ was innocent and that Jermaine had seen Michael in very suggestable positions with his nephews. Jermaine latter said that Brown was lying.

So, to sum up, it was Stacy Brown who wrote that text and said it had been Jermaine. Don't forget: Michael fills many people's pockets.

Will be a good read. Interesting stuff on the Larry King interview. Not sure what to believe about MJ, if anything.

....and there you have it

Everyone who really knew Michael used to say that he was the nicest and most naive person on Earth. They say he was very innocent, gentle and kind. They also mention that he had a very pure heart. He was a child, basically. I've read articles, written by people who met him, saying that he was the nicest human being they ever met. In fact, there are people who used to hate him until they actually met Michael. One example is a brazilian reporter who used to hate on him. After meeting Jackson, she became one of his biggest fans. Brett Ratner said: "He was the most inspirational person in my life. His one dream was to cure all the sick children in the world. And when I'd say, 'Isn't that impossible?' Michael would just start to cry. He was very emotional about things that moved him. I guess you'd have to say he was a pure innocent in a world that wasn't so innocent anymore."

I have no idea about versions or anything. I just know there was to be a book and he was involved. I never had many details beyond that.

When is HIS book coming out? Meaning Jermaine's. I'm waiting.
