Katherine Jackson: Michael's Kids "Don't Have Any Friends"
Posted on Sun Jun 20, 2010 10:55 AM PDT
Almost a year after her son Michael's untimely passing, family matriarch Katherine Jackson is speaking out.
The grandmother talks about MJ's children to The Mirror, revealing a sad truth: "They don't have any friends. They don't go to school, they have private lessons at home."
But she insists that will change soon, as all three will enroll in private school this September. Plus they have the support of the entire Jackson family to help them cope.
"To them, it's normal, it's the life they have known. They have a certain time to go to bed, then they get up and get dressed for lessons. They practice karate and swim, which they love."
And what about dealing with their father's death? "Each one of them is like Michael in a certain way," Katherine says. "It has been a daily battle to cope with our huge loss."
"Michael was so misunderstood," she adds. "He was so generous. I want the world to know that real Michael Jackson - a loving person."
RIP, Michael.
So sad.

I honestly think the way in which he paraded them around in public with masks on was terrible. No wonder the kids aren't normal and don't have any friends. How are they supposed to make friends when they are constantly hidden and secluded from the rest of the world?
I doubt they can survive regular school. They are going to get bullied.
HONESTLY On June 25 lets have it "Died from a drug over dose day like daddy Michael Jackson.. Who killed himself
while kiddies were downstairs..eating
breakfast. He is irresponsible for doing
it in the house and use an IV after so
many doctors and nurses told him it could kill him...but no Mr. Jackson did
it anyway... So go to school...have the
kids treat you like human beings..not some freak show like their dad..
*sending prayers and love and hugs to Prince, Paris and Prince and Katherine too*
BLESS YOU KATHERINE JACKSON. I do not fail to pray for you and your family. I know you son was one of the most loving, caring, giving people that has ever walked this planet. I am forever grateful he was here. God will deal with those who mistreated him. I will defend and love him forever.
The haters are ridiculous as always. They ignorance gives me a headache.
Stay strong Katherine I am prying for you.
RIP KING LOVE YOU ALWAYS .
The kids only wore masks when they were with him so that they could walk around anonymously with other people.
In footage from previous birthday and Christmas parties, they had kids around them - so they used to have friends until their father left the US after the trial.
Imagine how bullied they would have been when Michael was alive and how adults would react when he would show up for school events.
