Debbie Rowe Drops Custody Fight After $4M Payoff: Report

New York Post:

Michael Jackson's baby mama Debbie Rowe has sold her kids again -- this time squeezing about $4 million from her former mother-in-law in exchange for giving up her parental rights, a family source told The Post yesterday.

"It's one final payday," the disgusted Jackson confidant said.

This is her last big payday!

Think about it, the kids are 12 and 11...they'­ll be grown in a few years, so she won't be able to extort anymore money out of the Jacksons. She'll blow through that 4 million quickly, after she pays her lawyers.

And doesn't she have to pay taxes on that $4 million?

Ummm...may­be we should examine the word "extort" and really try to understand what extortion means. She's not illegally going about her financial gain.

Now, if you want to imply selling parental rights to her children is deplorable behavior, sure, then that would make more sense.

However, who are we to judge?

[AfroLatina21]

Well I'm calling it extortion.­.......

[gladys46]

If this is true ... that she has an attorney negotiating a money figure to drop any attempted custody challenge ... you bet your boots it's extortion ! One dime dictates just that ! She may have standing to enter the courtroom, however, she has a steep mountain to climb in convincing any prudent judge that those children's best interest would be with her !

Uh, and if true this surprises us? Not our business.

[1dogs2]

If true, we not only know what she is, but also what her price is.

[johnnygoodwud]

those kids are someones meal ticket, whoever winds up with them. watch out grandma, joe is breathing down your neck

[Rhonnybay]

I'm hoping Katherine is strong enough to keep her ex husband away from the kids.

[johnosahon]

i really don't know why people are abusing my "idol" (gold digger) debbie. the woman was a SURROGATE MOTHER people, she NEVER said she wanted the kids, MJ was the one who wanted the kids, all she wanted in return was MONEY which she has gotten.

now, again the media has made this into a story of debbie wanting the kids, so as to start up drama to increase rating.

[Rhonnybay]

Well, most "surrogates" get just a one time payment...­..they don't get to come back over and over for a payoff.

[viewfromuphere]

first I must declaim...­..this is "that bastion of accurate infomation­"...The New York Post...how­ever...you got to wonder how any kid would feel knowing they've been "sold" for all intents and purposes on three separate occasions.­..

just plain sad...

[dnddays]

This is a good thing.

Yuck

[xzalate]

That's kind of sad seeing what money does to people. At least MJ loved those kids.

[Judyisacutie]

Judging by the way his family members surrounded and embraced those kids at the funeral, I'd say that MJ's mother and brothers and sisters love them, too at least.

[icemilkcoffee]

What a money grubbing b1tch of a 'mother'. She makes MJ look like a saint by comparison.

[jeburr24]

I feel so sorry for those poor kids. What a family they were born into!

[PoliSci2008]

Sheesh! Sorry? They have everything, love, family, home, education, lifestyle, except for their Daddy! Sorry for their lost, but they'll be a.o.k.

This is one woman that I loathe, I would take my children in a heartbeat and make up for all of the years that I was foolish, but money prevailed. $4 million

[lil11]

$4 million may seem like a big sum to Debbie Rowe and to some of us, but if they have $4 million to give to her, look at how much more they have.

I read one article that Katherine keeps custody and Debbie gets to see the kids regularly. That is good that she will see the kids. It would be horrible if she did not want to see the them at all. I know it would be for me regardless of what others thought about my mother. I would like to find out for myself what she is like and make my own decision.

It would be wonderful to get to a point in life where $4 million means no more than a hand full of pennies to me. Yeah, that would be great. Ask Bill Gates or Oprah.

[wideawakenow]

knew it.

[Cogs]

These kids just keep paying off for her.

[macbabe]

IF she wants these kids SO BAD, pay back the 4M and go away in peace... you know that would NEVER happen, they are "cash cows" now with Joe's plan!
