UK Paper: Jacko’s Doc Says He’s the Dad, Wants Custody

As I’ve already reported in this space the mystery sperm donor for Michael Jackson’s two oldest children, 12 year old Prince Michael and 11 year old Paris Katherine, is Jackson’s dermatologist for the last 25 years.

Now, the London Daily Mirror reports the beleaguered Dr. Arnold Klein, already in the cross hairs of a joint DEA/LAPD investigation into whether he illegally wrote prescription drug orders for Jackson, plans to jump into the official custody battle for the kids.   According to this report Klein has told friends he wants to take a DNA test and prove once and for all he is the Baby Daddy.

No word on whether Dr. Klein would also want to take custody of 7 year old Blanket whose parentage is still a mystery.  In nearly every instance  judges like to keep siblings together.  My question is why Klein’s sudden interest in playing Daddy?  Does he think law enforcement might ease up on him if he’s suddenly responsible for children?

Christmas Time With "Uncle Arnie", Who Now Says He's Daddy

Now the 64-year-old millionaire has told friends that he IS the biological father, he wants to bring them up and he is consulting lawyers about his options.

A custody application filed with Los Angeles Superior Court in which Klein formally acknowledges he is Prince Michael and Paris’s father would be one of the most sensational developments yet in the entire Michael Jackson saga.

Klein’s intervention threatens to throw into total chaos the custody deal that was pending between the children’s biological mother, Debbie Rowe, and Jackson’s mother Katherine.  A well-placed source, who is close friends with one of Klein’s inner circle, told the Sunday Mirror yesterday: “Arnie is planning to fight for custody of Prince Michael and Paris.  “He says he can prove he is their father with Debbie.”  via Michael Jackson’s doctor to stake custody claim on his kids saying: ‘I’m the daddy’ – mirror.co.uk.

Boy, this could really get ugly.  And the kids are the real victims

    Why would Klein suddenly want custody? Hmmm!! Perhaps the feeling that there just might be a significant chunk of change to be had here? Perhaps said chunk of change might come in handy in the future dealing with emerging problems with the law? Perhaps, he is a sensitive, fatherly type that feels he has a moral duty to raise children he had a part in bringing into this world? I know what I think! What about you? You’re a lot closer to this than I.

    Diane, Sad but none of them should raise these kids! According to Jermaine or is it Randy I forget who said Katherine watches all their 23 kids.! With a staff of course.! People say Debbie sold her kids and the children will know that at somepoint if they haven’t already heard that. More importantly their dad bought them out of his desperate need to be loved unconditionally.!He didn’t get that from his dad.I believe if he thought he was near death he would have made arrangements for his kids. So all in all family is best just a matter of who is the most stable in the family!
    Nice to read your post again!

    About Me

    I’m a been-there-done-that reporter who has worked in all the media’s mediums: Radio, T.V., I wrote a book about what I learned covering the Michael Jackson child sex abuse saga and I’m currently writing a nationally syndicated newspaper column.

    I have a freakish attachment to all things having to do with crime and justice, although I’ve covered all sorts of stories, including national politics in Washington – which I guess some might say is akin to covering crime. You'll see here I often mix the two.

    Its human behavior that fascinates me most – why do we do the things we do to each other?

    You’ve seen or heard my work on NPR, WCBS-TV, NBC, FOX, Court TV and on syndicated televisions programs like Hard Copy. See my full bio here: http://dianedimond.net/about/
