Katherine Jackson Says She's Fine, Prince Slams Family in Angry Tweet

Jackson family matriarch Katherine Jackson is finally home with her grandkids, but the family feud continues.
Katherine released a video statement, shot in Arizona before she left to return home, in which she insists she has not been held against her will, as her children -- Janet, Jermaine and others -- hovered over her. Take a look.
Michael Jackson's daughter Paris was thankful to have her grandmother home, tweeting, "grandma's here! #thankyougod 5 hours of sleep last night, been awake for 23 ... time to #hibernate."
Her brother Prince, however, broke his silence with a very terse tweet. "I would first like to start off by thanking the fans that have always stood by me and my family, my dad really appreciated your support and I still treasure it to this day. As I am sure everyone is well aware of the events that have been going on. I have been holding off on backing up my sister and her tweets avidly because I was waiting for the time to reveal my side.
Prince continued, "As long as I can remember my dad had repeatedly warned me of certain people and their ways. Although I am happy my grandma was returned, after speaking with her I realized how misguided and how badly she was lied to. I'm really angry and hurt.
The tweet concluded, "The following image is of a group chat I had started to several family members. This group text message I had started was replied to but they didn't know that I could see the responses. For this whole time, they denied us contact to our grandmother. If you continue with your lies I will continue with the truth."
The screen grab Prince posted said, "This is enough so I am texting you for the simple fact that WE DEMAND TO SPEAK TO MY GRANDMA NOW!!!,” with Janet Jackson’s response, “Don’t let them pls.”
The posts have since been deleted.
On Wednesday, T.J. Jackson, Michael's nephew and Tito Jackson's 34-year-old son, was appointed temporary guardian of the three kids after Paris and Prince consented to being in T.J.'s custody in the absence of their grandmother.
T.J. has filed a request to be named permanent guardian.

If Katherine Jackson is so worried about her grandkids why did she just leave and they had no idea where she was. This family does need counseling. I'm sure it was the idea of the adults to have grandma leave these kids alone without a notice as to where she was. This family is just selfish and greedy. All the money he left to his kids is HIS money not the family's. He made that on his own not with the Jackson 5. They are just a bunch of greedy money hungry lot. They have their money why can't they just leave these kids to enjoy their youth and lives.
This story is shocking about Katherine Jackson ending up in Phx AZ, because 1 year ago I heard about the exact same thing happening to LaToya Jackson who ended up in Prescott, AZ (where I live), at a local gas station confused and frantic about not knowing where she was and pouring her heart out to a local business woman about how she ended up in a Phoenix resort and didn't know how she got there, then begging not to speak of her ordeal again...I didn't believe this story really, until TODAY?! This is shocking...a year or 2 ago LaToya Jackson was the only outspoken Jackson saying Michael Jackson was murdered and that there was a group of people who wanted to profit from Jackson's death, now their mother Katherine, who was chosen to take care of Michael's most prized family members, is being taken away...don't believe the lies Prince Jackson, believe in your family...and don't be surprised to find out that this has shockingly happened before to other members of the family! The doctor is behind bars, now let the rest of the sadistic-grotesque-annonymous group go down with him...
Was that a good move? How do we come to the conclusion that this family is or have sponged off of Michael. First of all Michael would not have been introduced to the music industry if it were not for his parents Joe & Kathryn Jackson… As pitiful as (as far as money) Joe Jackson appears at times he should be entitled to some of Michael’s money! Kathryn should be taken care of for life! He and Kathryn allowed those boys to become The Jackson 5, were Michael got his start from….
Now as far as the brothers are they entitled? Maybe not… But it takes a selfish person to have millions of dollars and not take care of their family…. No, it should not be expected but if you care about your family it goes without saying! Those brothers from my understanding all have jobs…. It may not be in the entertainment field or pay millions, but it is a job; and I for one applauded them….
Parris needs her phone taken away, and she needs to stop spreading family business.
I wish nothing but the best for the Jackson family… We all should put ourselves in their shoes, what if it were my family? How would I feel?
Oh, and Janet doesn’t need his money... She’s got her own!
Good move by the judge to change guardianship of Michael's children. Kathryn, unfortunately, is not strong enough to withstand or avoid the manipulation of many of the Jackson siblings and in-laws, and especially Joseph, to get their hands on Michael's money. They've been sponging off him for years, and now they're sponging off their mother
