TMZ true to form took part of an interview Jermaine had with another news source chopped it up and put out this negative report. Jermaine was responding to negative comments Debbie Rowe the alleged mother of two of Michael Jackson's children Prince Michael and Paris Katherine, made about the family and Jermaine in particular. She is supposedly mounting a legal challenge to try an get custody of these two because she claims she is concerned about their well-being and safety. Now she ain't been too concerned in all of this time now all of a sudden she's concerned. But she had pretty negative things to say about the Jackson family and especially about Jermaine. So why isn't TMZ talking about that? Jermaine was angry and was responding to Debbie made implying that Michael's brothers were sycophants living off of him. Jermaine was simply saying that it was a team effort by all of them with the group and that Michael wouldn't have become famous without them too. Here is what TMZ wrote:
A TMZ reporter caught up with Jermaine Jackson and he had some interesting words to say about his late brother, Michael Jackson.
It’s unclear what the pretext of the conversation was, but at one point Jermaine divulged:
‘Without the Jackson 5, there wouldn’t be no Michael Jackson’
Granted, The Jackson 5 did give Michael his start — but Michael was instrumental to the success of The Jackson 5 as well.
Regardless of how you look at it, that’s not anything we’d be saying to about the legacy of our deceased brother.
Now here's the whole interview:
Jermaine Jackson Says If It Wasn't For The Jackson 5 There 'Wouldn't Be No MJ'
Jermaine Jackson resents the idea that the Jackson family is out for money from the MJ estate

Jermaine Jackson is clapping back at Debbie Rowe’s claims that the Jackson family is a bad influence on Michael Jackson’s kids. He also had a few words for Rowe saying MJ allegedly told her his siblings were talentless.
TMZ caught up with Jermaine in Calabasas on Monday and he was very vocal about his feelings.
“I’ve always been nice to Debbie,” Jermaine says. “For her to say I’m a bad influence on the kids, that’s a lie. We all know how to curse, but I’ve never cursed around those kids. They can learn that at school.”
He says he doesn’t know where the kids will end up going, but his feelings were hurt over Rowe’s accusations because he said he’s always reached out to her when no one else did.
“I don’t know, but Debbie, I’m really disappointed,” he said.
When the interviewer asked him if the family wanted to keep guardianship of the kids for money he said that was complete nonsense.
“Now I’m finna curse,” he said. “That’s all bullsh--. Because first of all, that’s all up to the estate. We have nothing to do with it. And when they blame this family first for something. This family is busy doing what we need to do to keep the legacy going.”
Jermaine says the siblings have been working. They don’t need money from the MJ estate.
“We love Prince and Paris and Blanket, but we have nothing to do or say with where they go or don’t go. We don’t.”
When asked if he thinks the kids want to stay with Katherine Jackson he says, “Prince is cool. Prince is turning out to be a wonderful human being…It’s going to end up being up to them. They’re young adults.”
As far as Rowe claiming MJ told her the brothers have no talent, Jermaine rebuked such a notion.
“We work, we’ve made money. If it wasn’t because of the Jackson 5, wouldn’t be no Michael Jackson. They need to know that.”
Jermaine insists the family has never been about the money and it’s the media who makes it seem as if the Jacksons are a money hungry family.
