Jacko Pal Claims Paris Is His Daughter

Michael 'found the sexual act something he couldn't do'

Share

(Newser) – Fearing that Katherine Jackson will sever his bond with Michael Jackson’s children, a confidante of the fallen pop star says Paris is likely his biological daughter, News of the World reports. Mark Lester, who starred as a child in the Oscar-winning film Oliver!, says that until 2 weeks ago, he hadn’t told anyone—including his wife—that he donated sperm to Jackson in 1996. “It’s been secret for so long. It was a gift to him. He wanted children so badly.”

Lester, 51, who’s now an osteopath and acupuncture specialist, said Jackson asked him for help because “he found the sexual act something he couldn’t do ... Michael wasn’t gay. He was asexual.” Lester is offering to take a paternity test, but says even if he’s right, “I wouldn’t see her as anything other than Michael’s daughter,” adding, “I do feel a definite bonding with Paris and I think there's a definite possibility that she's part of me.”

Michael was a brilliant, brilliant dad. Those kids are Michael's children. He was their father. End of story. But I just want to make sure they're happy.

since when is donating sperm sick? the procedure has provided hundreds of thousands of families with children they couldn't otherwise have. if your 'sick' comment is directed at the fact that michael was likely asexual, that is no better than scorning gays. sexuality should not be judged.

I feel so sorry for the Jackson children. I hope their vast wealth assuages some of the hurt feelings that are likely to ensue. Reply

This jerk is just one of many wanabee’s who’ll lay claim to being one of Jackson’s children’s biological parent. It probably has to do with the fifteen minutes of fame or maybe some money they think they can squeeze out of the Jackson estate. Although none of the children even closely resemble Jackson and their DNA will probably not match, Jackson raised those children as his own; he was their father (DNA or no DNA). Let things be. RIP.
