In 1997, I was in the kitchen with Jackie, Tito and Jermaine, who was feeling tortured over the thought of having to fly with and go on stage alongside Randy to accept their introduction as The Jackson 5 into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Things broke down so badly between the brothers that they refused to speak to one another. This conversation lasted more than four hours and I had to reason with him that, “You not only took his woman, but you had children with her and you married her. “He needs to get over it and leave all the petty stuff behind and act like a man,” Jermaine said to me. Jermaine didn’t understand Randy’s anger in general. “He shouldn’t let his feelings for me or Alejandra come between taking care of his kids.” “He’s an a-hole,” Jermaine said of Randy. Randy, meanwhile, withheld child-support payments, which Jermaine said he just couldn’t understand. Katherine, their mother, was not amused either and treated Alejandra like the help. “Joe Blow down the street, but my brother? In the same house?” Randy seethed about the betrayal. Randy Jackson was furious when his baby mama married Jermaine. In 1995, Jermaine and Alejandra secretly married, later having children of their own - Jaafar, Donte and Jermajesty. “I just thought that Jermaine was different, that he was more family oriented.” “Randy didn’t treat me like I was the one,” Alejandra told me. But Randy proved a bit too immature for Alejandra, and while he was away from home, Jermaine moved in. Randy and Alejandra dated for a long time, but never married, having two children - Genevieve and Randy Jr. Too young to appear in the Jackson 5, he nonetheless was enlisted in the family business and would tour with his brothers as he got older (as Michael went solo). Randy, seven years younger than Jermaine and three years younger than Michael, missed out on the heyday of the Jacksons’ Motown fame. Randy met Alejandra Oaziaza in 1986, when she was about 17 and he was 24. If there’s one best example of how dysfunctional the Jackson family is, know this - Jermaine stole away, then married, the mother of his younger brother Randy’s children. Then he asked to borrow $500 to change the tires on his Mercedes. “I still say his timing was what made him the King of Pop,” Jermaine once said. The next, he’d go on a talk show and defend him.Īll the while was the subtext - it should have been me. He’d spend an entire day ranting against him. Of all the Jacksons, none was more tortured by the cult of Michael than Jermaine. But once Michael beat me to it, he made sure it would only be him.” “That was supposed to be me,” Jermaine Jackson said, for the 100th time, talking about the superstardom his younger brother enjoyed. Here, in Part Two of his memories of life among the Jacksons, he talks about the family member he knows best - Jermaine, the jealous older brother of Michael. He previously wrote about Katherine Jackson’s letters to her son, in which she called Michael a homophobic slur. For 25 years, he hung out at their Hayvenhurst estate in Encino, Calif., and even ghostwrote their memoirs.
