News of the World ran an explosive supposed interview with Michael Jackson’s first second wife, Debbie Rowe, this weekend. Rowe allegedly told the British tabloid that she intended to relinquish all custody rights to her two children with Michael, Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., 11, and Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, 10. The interview also had Rowe claiming that she was inseminated like one of the horses on her farm, and that she didn’t want to see that at all. “I don’t want these children in my life. My children are my animals now.”
The entire interview was fabricated, though, claims Rowe’s attorney, and News of the World has completely removed the article from their website, suggesting that they may fear a lawsuit over it:
Headlines abound suggest a British tabloid claimed that Debbie Rowe, surrogate mother to Michael Jackson’s two children, said the singer wasn’t the father of his proposed children–and that she had no interest in obtaining custody of the kids.
Rowe’s attorney, Marta Almli. exclusively tells RadarOnline.com, “The interview did not occur. The article is a complete fabrication.”
Rowe was married to Michael and had two children with the pop star. She reportedly has never had a relationship with the children.
Almli said she was unable, at this point, to answer any further questions about actions Rowe would be taking in regards to the children.

So does this mean that Rowe might fight for custody of her two older children by Michael? She did try to give up all legal rights to them, but due to a technicality she’s still legally their mother and could potentially gain custody and all of the hefty child support that would come from Jackson’s estate. In February, 2008 she gave a supposedly legitimate interview to the Daily Mail in which she claimed that her animals were her “babies” and cried over the fact that she couldn’t have more children with Michael. It’s likely that News of the World made up all of their quotes based on that older interview, and it did bear a certain resemblance to it - with some dramatic language and more salacious details thrown in for effect. It was all too revealing to be true, though, and now Jackson’s two older children may be involved in a custody battle between their grandparents and their biological mother, who they’ve never known. A lot of people are waiting to see if Rowe issues a statement regarding custody and what her next move might be.
US Magazine reports that the Jacksons will go to court next Monday to “protect their rights to custody of Michael Jackson’s three children.”
Debbie Rowe has issued a statement through her attorney that reads, in part, that her “only thoughts at this time have been regarding the devastating loss Michael’s family has suffered.” Her attorney had no idea whether she would seek custody and asked that the family “be spared such harmful, sensationalist speculation and that they be able to say goodbye to their loved one in peace.”
