Michael Jackson had a “cold, uneasy and sterile relationship” with his three children — and they were all scared of him, according to a new report.
Jackson’s former nanny, Grace Rwaramba, claims that the kids — – Michael Joseph, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine and Prince “Blanket” Michael II – “froze” in the presence of their famous father, who died Thursday after suffering an apparent cardiac arrest at his home in Los Angeles.
“I used to hug and laugh with them,” Grace told the News of The World newspaper. “But when Michael was around they froze. I really miss Blanket. He makes me laugh. Only recently, he decided to do a concert for me. He was so cute, singing Billy Jean and other songs by his father.
“I was laughing so hard. Prince and Paris were playing around. It was such a happy moment. Then suddenly Michael walked in and the kids just looked frightened. Michael was so angry.”
Referring to the masks Jacko made the kids wear in public, Grace revealed, “They didn’t like them. It wasn’t my idea. I hated it as well. So whenever I had a chance I misplaced the masks or ‘forgot’ to pack them.
“Michael always got angry. But what was most shocking to me is that the children don’t even have a teacher. They can’t play with other children and don’t have a teacher to help them learn about the world.”
Grace also spoke about Jackon’s financial situation, saying, “The truth is Michael didn’t have money. One day out of the blue he received some cash but instead of buying a house somewhere so we didn’t have to keep moving from one hotel to another or stay with friends, he told me, ‘Go to Florence and buy antiques.’
“He asked me to spend £600,000. But we didn’t even have a home so we had to put them all into storage.
“Michael just did not have a clue about have money.
“The Nation of Islam was telling him that the house we had in Los Angeles, after Neverland was sold, cost £60,750 a month.
“But I checked with many real estate agencies. To rent this house should not have cost more than £12,000-15,000.
“And once he got a £600,000 offer to make an appearance in Japan. But there were a lot of different business parties involved and I warned him that by the time everyone took their cut he would end up with a very small amount. He didn’t want to hear. He flew to Japan and got £121,500.
“Then he got a second proposal to go to Japan and this time there was only £121,500 on the table.
“He went and then decided on the spur of the moment to attend the birthday party of the son of Sultan of Brunei. He spent all the money from Japan staying in a big expensive hotel.”
