His brother admits Jacko's 'thing for young children'
BY MICHELLE CARUSO
DAILY NEWS WEST COAST BUREAU CHIEF
LOS ANGELES - Jermaine Jackson feared his kid brother Michael might
be guilty of child molestation, but backed him at trial because he
thought the pop star would commit suicide in prison, according to a
bombshell book proposal obtained by the Daily News.
In a tell-all outline shopped to publishers just weeks after
Michael's arrest in November 2003, Jermaine described the Pop King
as a sometimes out-of-control drug and booze abuser with a
calculating mean streak and a thing for young children.
The eight-page proposal for Legacy: Surviving the Best and the
Worst, lists Michael Jackson's preferred substances as Vicodin,
Demerol, codeine, Percocet, cocaine, Jack Daniels and wine.
Does he really know what he does with these kids? Jermaine
wondered.
I don't want to tell you my brother's innocent. I am not certain
that he is, Jermaine said in the tome-teaser drafted by author
Stacy Brown, who co-authored Michael Jackson: The Man Behind the
Mask with the singer's former publicist, Bob Jones.
But Jermaine's still-unpublished tale is the ultimate insider look
at the troubled star.
He admits that the family has protected Jacko's image and says that
Jackson also cheats, lies and even changed the color of his skin.
Even the pop star's behavior with his own nephews has left his
family shaken, according to Jermaine. He recounts the family
coming together after the death of brother Tito's ex-wife in the mid
1990s and finding Michael sitting on a bed with Tito's young sons
and holding them in a disturbing manner.
Jermaine also dished about the singer's bizarre behavior shortly
before he surrendered to authorities to face charges in November
2003.
Holed up in a Las Vegas hotel room, Michael calmly watched
a Pinocchio DVD with his three children in his lap, but he later
flew into a rage, trashing the room and breaking every glass, lamp
and dish in it.
The protective big brother vowed to help Michael beat the rap
because Michael couldn't survive one day in prison ... He'd commit
suicide.
Other bombshell teasers in Jermaine's outline include:
That during the Jackson 5 days, Michael's brothers feared he was
gay. The brothers met lots of women while touring and all eventually
fell in love. But Michael, well, he wasn't interested. We used to
quietly say that we couldn't have a gay brother.
Michael hates Jews because he thinks Hollywood moguls Steven
Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen stole the idea for
Dreamworks studio, including the boy-on-the moon logo, from him.
But the Jews are the powerful ones and they have done a lot to put
my brother in his place ... just another n-.
That a devious and calculating Michael squashed his brothers' solo
musical careers.
But the family stood behind Michael despite pain, doubts and
misgivings, unwilling to give up on our little brother.
