Jermaine Jackson at Center of Stun Gun Drama
Jermaine Jackson, brother of the late Michael Jackson, has had some interesting things happen in his life. Most recently, his teenage son tried to taser Blanket.
A messy divorce between Jermaine and his ex-wife likely set events in motion that resulted in the stun gun drama that made headlines in this slow news week.
The L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services came knockin' at the Jackson family home in L.A. after reports of the kids playing with a taser.
Here's the lowdown. Jermaine filed for divorce from Alejandra Jackson in 2004. The couple fought hard over child support. Pretty standard stuff at the time.
Despite their split, Jermaine pressured Alejandra to live with their two kids - Jaafar and Jermajesty (yes, Jer-effing-majesty) in the Jackson family home.
That way, he wouldn't have to pay her support.
DON'T TASE ME BRO: Jermaine could use a good zap.
However, Alejandra complained most of the support money she received actually came from Katherine Jackson, mother of Jermaine, Michael, Janet et al.
That support was often doled out in gift cards to Ralph's ... where Jaafar bought a credit card so he could buy a stun gun online to allegedly zap Blanket.
Resourceful little devil, no?
Alejandra Jackson has indeed been living at Katherine's with Jaafar and Jermajesty, plus Genevieve and Randall, her two children with ... Randy Jackson.
Yup, she was also married to another Jackson brother at one point.
Michael Jackson's three children, Prince, Paris and Blanket, have been living with Katherine, as per Michael Jackson's will, since he passed away last June.
She's got a lot on her plate, in other words, for a 79-year-old. As a result, the occasional taser may or may not slip through the cracks. Give her a break.

I wish that when you take the time to reply or make a comment on anything that you reread and look closely ....then before you post..reread it again. The English language is getting misused enough by the media....do we have to do it here as will?
As for the Jackson family drama...don't read it...don't comment on it. The media puts it out there because they know we read it and want more so just stop reading it.

this is being so blown out of proportion. Jaafar is not a bad kids and michael's kids are where they need to be, with their family. michael left his kids to his mother and je knew she didn't live alone.

These are some of the most selfish, conceited set of ppl in existence. If they are not busy worrying abt how being a parent is gonna affect their (once hot) career, it's how they can benifit from whats left of their brothers memory/money. There in lies the reason for Michael distancing himself from them. And the part in all ths tht dicuss me the most is these ppl coming on tv parading and promoting the unity in whtat's considered by everyone a transparent disfunction.

This family is a Hot Mess with CASH! Michael's children should immediately be removed from this family. It is definitely unsafe for them.

So was it a TASER or a Stun Gun? The two are not the same. A TASER shoots out darts and stuns with direct contact. A stun gun only stuns with direct contact..no darts.

Jermaine's kids need to be kept away from Michael's kids. What idiot allows his children to obtain and play with tasers anyhow? Does Jermaine not know WTF his kids are doing? Does he not parent them? Or is he too busy fame-whoring and trying to profit from Michael's death?
Michael's kids are in danger living with Katherine. What make everyone think she is such a wonderful mom, look what happened to Michael! Katherine has got to be almost 80 years old, not to be forgotten the fact that she watched her husband beat the daylights out of his children for years.
Even more to the point she stood by and watched the freakish way Michael behaved and did nothing about it
