Michael Jackson wife: we never lived together
‘PROSECUTORS yesterday called Michael Jackson’s former wife Debbie Rowe, the mother of two of his children, to testify in the pop star’s child molestation trial.
Asked for her name, she identified herself as Deborah Rowe Jackson, but she said she preferred to be addressed as Ms Rowe. Asked by prosecutor Ron Zonen how she knew Jackson, she said: “We’ve been friends and we were married.”
She said she knew Jackson for 20 years before they were married, but when asked if they had ever lived together, she said: “We never shared a home.”
Jackson is accused of molesting a 13-year-old boy, Gavin Arvizo, in February or March 2003, giving him alcohol and conspiring to hold the accuser’s family captive to get them to rebut a damaging documentary.
Prosecutors expect Ms Rowe to testify that she was pressured to praise Jackson in a video. The mother of Jackson’s accuser has claimed that a video she recorded was performed from a script.
Ms Rowe, who once gave up her parental rights to their son and daughter but recently had them restored, is embroiled in a Los Angeles family court fight with Jackson over visitation.’

It strikes me that given Ms Rowe is ‘embroiled in a Los Angeles family court fight with Jackson over visitation’. She is not going to do or say anything that would jeopardise her winning her court case.
I, like any parent, would give up everything I owned including my dignity for my children so it is no wonder she is keeping quiet.
I only that while this is bad for the prosecution, the jury will be aware of the situation she is in and make their decisions not based on her evidence.
The sooner we rid the world of all paedophiles, irrespective of their poverty or wealth, the better mankind will be. I also feel that given the amount of accusations over the years and the payouts Jacko has made it would be a travesty of justice if her got away with it, but then we all remember the O. J. Simpson trial.

This trial is getting so long and boring. I wish it was over already.

If he did wrong any child…. an eye for an eye. We all know what is in the dark comes out in the light. If he did it he just needs to get help because it will never stop until caught. Speaking from knowing a paedophile who molested my nephew, and possibly my son. Who can not remember due to alchol that was given to him at age 13 yrs old. However having step sisters that have acused my biological Father of molesting them, we will never know the truth. But God will.

Paul. tell you what, I don’t think we’ll ever get rid of the pedophiles… There is evidence of it going back forever… it seems to be a flaw of some kind, hardwired into the human species. And I think studies show that once a pedophile, always a pedophile. A small but irreducible percentage of humanity, almost totally male, wants to have sex with children. You could say it is truly evil but it goes on and on, from generation to generation. It’s depressing.

What’s the deal? Did Debbie Rowe get paid off or something? I don’t think the prosecution would have put her on the stand if they thought she was going to give that kind of testimony. Oh well, I guess the drama never ends. I still can’t wait to see what the prosecution comes up with.
April 29th, 2005 at 1:26 pm
I agree with Anthony. Something is wrong here. The prosecutor would not put on the stand a person who would testify the opposite of what he expected. It looks like a winner for Jackson, but I think there is more to come.

Mr. Jackson has said,” wait until you’ve heard the truth! ” Mrs. Rowe Jackson has spoken! Enough said.
April 29th, 2005 at 2:35 pm
spoken like a true fanatic… use your brains girl!
April 29th, 2005 at 4:18 pm
Use your brains! Open your eyes! I’m a women NOT A GIRL!

Mmm. I love a good catfight. Get her Angelica. I love your name too. Talk to you later.
April 29th, 2005 at 7:08 pm
Angelica - you go girl! What can I say that hasn’t already been said other than it would be much cheaper and jail time free to pay off the baby seller and the dude that made that video, thereby giving a set back to the prosecution.

what sort of woman would give up her kids to MJ? She must have got a large sum paid to her for the rental of her womb, and she said MJ has a lot of unscrupulous people around him?…hmm.
That said, she was not too good for the prosecution but she wouldn’t want to rock the boat on her claim to get the kids back now would she?
Sorry MJ, this case will NEVER clear your name even if you are found not guilty..

Referring to Paul’s comments I wonder how much dignity Debbie Rowe actually has! Yes Paul, any normal parent would indeed sacrifice their dignity and much more in order to care for and protect their children but I wonder what kind of a mother she really is? In fact, I have already formed an unkind opinion of this woman as a person and more importantly, as a parent. She disgusts me, particularly in light of these allegations, I wonder did she have her suspicions years ago when she signed away her children, and now, realising her fears could be justified is entangled in a legal battle for her children. In my opinion, she doesn’t deserve them. She leaves me cold.

Why bother to get married if you are not going to live together. Debbie Rowe has said that she had the babies so Michael could be a father? I heard or read somewhere that Michael took the baby as soon as it came out and ran (left the hospital and everything) before it could even be looked at. Then to completely give up your parental rights. There is A LOT more to this story than we will ever know.

How in the world would Debbie Rowe know what kind of a father, or person Michael is.She said they never shared a home.So she thought it was ok for him to dangle her child or someone elses child over a balkany.She is just as sick as he is. He should have been arrested for child endangerment!

Angelica and Anthony, it would be nice to read your comments when you truly know the facts of this case, obviously, neither of you do. Sounds to me that you both are uniformed and uneduated totally of how the court system works and how unware of how the human brain patterns function. Sorry… but, your facts are wrong!!!

Yvette - you are an idiot and need to learn how to spell before you attack someone elses opinions.
April 30th, 2005 at 5:29 am
Yvette - Sorry I called you an idiot. I took my dogs for a walk and came back and saw what an a** I was. Please accept my apology.

Apology is excepted. Have a nie day…Unkind comments arer not very nice.
April 30th, 2005 at 2:43 pm
we have all heard the man in question say it ” give me my day in court and i will be vindicated”. people have only heard the pros. side. let the defence speak before casting judgement on Michael Jackson. By the way I know in my heart he will be proven INNOCENT.

Those who rush to judgement don’t think ratiojnal, rhey thin and act just like the prosecution. No proof!
