Rowe Drops Bid for Jacko's Kids ... for $4M

Babymama gives up rights for the final time, says a source

Share

(Newser) – Debbie Rowe is giving up her custody fight against Michael Jackson’s mother—for the bargain price of $4 million, a family source tells the New York Post. “It’s one final payday,” the source says. “They felt it was like a ransom-type thing.” The biological mother of Jackson’s two elder children, who has received Jackson-related payouts twice before, will no longer be able to challenge custody arrangements.

Oh please. She gave Michael what he wanted and I'm glad she is getting paid off because now she can go away forever.

I think this makes her more hated than Heather Mills now. You'd think we'd have a law about selling babies in this country :(

And speaking of money grabbers, good ol' Joe Jackson will be cashing in on the talent of the Jackson 3. So there. Reply

OMG what shameless greed that man does display. I won't comment on his parenting skills; suffice to say that even a stranger shouldn't be so eager to cash in on child talent as he is.
