Mocienne Petit Jackson’s (Michael Jackson’s daughter) books are now available in Portuguese! We learn about the problems she encounters with the Child Protection Services, followed by many court cases. At first, the court cases related to her own situation, later on they turned into a battle for her son. The one unacceptable situation followed yet another unacceptable situation. We also learn about the many traumatic events of the main character, her depressions and countless struggles to process the misery linked to her life and her strife to let it go. The writer clearly explains these struggles through vivid flashbacks. Mocienne follows the comings and goings of Michael Jackson from afar. These included his alleged child abuse, and the many court cases querying his person, his two failed marriages, his metamorphoses, the birth of his three children – and last but not least – his untimely death.
Michael Jackson is one of the most popular artists in human history and that’s why everything related to him is huge. You maybe heard about the case of Mocienne Petit Jackson, called by the media the Michael Jackson’s secret daughter. What you probably didn’t know is the fact that Mocienne Petit Jackson is a prolific writer, with plenty of book available on Amazon and most of the other major book retailers. Against the conclusion that has been drawn by people of the international media, the L.A. County Superior Court did not throwout the claim of Mocienne Petit Jackson in 2010 on the basis of the case’s validity. Instead, the request to validate Ms Jackson’s claim using DNA evidence from the deceased Michael Jackson was not granted due to the fact that the State of California does not possess the jurisdiction to conduct DNA tests on the deceased. As a result, the case has remained open indefinitely. The Court did not rule it as being impossible, therefore, that Michael Jackson is the father of Mocienne Petit Jackson—merely that it is impossible to determine through legal means. Ms Jackson filed documents to the probate court in July 2010 in order to validate the fact that the late pop star Michael Jackson is indeed her father and thus to claim an inheritance.
According to this assessment, a majority of press coverage on the subject has been misleading. For example, before the death of her father in June 2009, Michael Jackson had spent eight months living in the Amstel Hotel in Amsterdam in order to be nearer to his then nine-year-old grandson. Furthermore, Ms Jackson’s mother Barbara Jane Ross, sister of the musician Diana Ross, is alleged to have lied about ever having met Michael Jackson while speaking in an interview on the Dutch television programme RTL Boulevard. Ms Jackson therefore believes—due to these two factors not having featured in press reports—that the media has treated the story in an unbalanced manner.
In this, the first of a three-part autobiography by Mocienne Petit Jackson, we meet the main character Mocienne. We read about her wonderful adventures from the age of six until the age of nine. She lived with her father – Michael Jackson! – in California. As he was not at home very often she was always in the company of a nanny. However, one nanny was continuously being replaced by the next. Mocienne was also often sick. Her father made an important decision and moved her to Haiti to go and live with an aunt -he wanted her to be part of a family. In time, she realised that her father was not like other fathers and that he was not who he claimed to be: a policeman. He would often visit her on Haiti when he was not busy with a performance.
Legal circumstances aside, Ms Jackson also expresses a strong personal sentiment toward Michael Jackson. She claims that, although the relationship she had had with her father did not manage to fully develop, he had indeed loved her and he was glad to have her as his child. At present, Ms Jackson is seeking to make a name for herself as her own individual. Thriller, for example, offers unique insights on her life by including stories concerning unusual and difficult situations that she experienced while living in the Netherlands. She argues extensively, for instance, that the harshness of the Dutch political system has had a significant impact on her character, and that by writing about it she can express a sense of frankness.
For our portuguese speaking readers :
Neste livro, a primeira parte da autobiografia dividida em três de Mocienne Petit Jackson, nós conhecemos a personagem principal, Mocienne. Nós lemos sobre as suas maravilhosas aventuras desde os seis até aos seus nove anos de idade. Ela viveu com o seu pai – Michael Jackson! – na Califórnia. Como ele não passava muito tempo em casa, ela estava sempre na companhia de uma ama. Contudo, uma ama estava sempre a ser substituída por outra. A Mocienne também ficava doente com regularidade. E o seu pai tomou uma importante decisão, a de a levar para o Haiti, para ir viver com uma tia – ele queria que ela fosse parte de uma família.
A segunda parte da autobiografia dividida em três partes de Mocienne Petit Jackson começa com uma extensiva descrição do rapto de Mocienne e da sua vida nos Países Baixos. Subsequentemente, nós lemos como se tornou a vida de Mocienne com a sua família adotiva – com a qual ela e a sua prima Délivrance ficaram. Gradualmente, ela descobre que o seu verdadeiro pai é o Michael Jackson. Aos 15 anos, ela deixa a sua família adotiva e passa a viver num internato, durante 4 anos, até arranjar um sítio próprio para si. Nós seguimos o seu trajeto desde o final da sua adolescência até entrar na idade adulta – que não foi fácil. Leia ou compre o livro aqui Traição – Livro de filha de Michael Jackson.
Uma importante razão para escrever esta trilogia é que eu quero que o mundo saiba que eu não estou obcecada com a minha ligação de sangue ao Michael Jackson. Eu também quero deixar claro que compreendo perfeitamente o quão difícil deve ser para milhares de fãs aceitarem que eu sou filha dele. Com os meus livros, eu espero apresentar a possibilidade de que ele começou a mostrar um comportamento estranho porque ele tinha uma filha secreta desde os dezassete anos – uma situação difícil para alguém como ele!
O tribunal, portanto, não descartou essa possibilidade, de o Michael Jackson ser o pai de Mocienne Petit Jackson – meramente que é impossível determiná-lo através de meios legais. A Sra. Jackson submeteu os documentos no tribunal em julho de 2010, para validar o facto de que o falecido cantor pop Michael Jackson é, realmente, o seu pai e, por conseguinte, para reclamar a sua herança. Ela afirma que as histórias que foram publicadas no final de 2010, à luz do processo, tiveram um efeito prejudicial na sua reputação e nos seus negócios, e expressa a sua crença que alguma responsabilidade deve ser assumida pelos efeitos prejudiciais que o facto de estar sob os holofotes dos media pode ter na reputação de alguém. A Sra. Jackson também salienta que o papel das redes sociais corre de uma forma similar – alegando que foram usadas como uma forma de verbalmente importuná-la em relação ao processo judicial e como forma de espalhar informações erradas.
