Michael Jackson’s teen son Prince Michael lashed out at his superstar aunt Janet Jackson Thursday morning just moments after his long-awaited reunion with his guardian grandmother.
The 15-year-old had been silent beside his more vocal sister Paris, 14, as the famous dynasty devolved into civil war, but he stepped forward on Twitter with the claim Janet blocked his access to beloved matriarch Katherine Jackson.
He posted an image of a purported group chat he initiated with aunts Janet and Rebbie on Monday afternoon, hours after surveillance tape posted on TMZ.com appeared to show Janet grabbing at Paris’ cell phone during a visit to his Calabasas home with Michael’s brothers Randy and Jermaine
“This is enough so I am texting you for the simple fact that WE DEMAND TO SPEAK TO MY GRANDMA NOW!!!” Prince Michael states in the text allegedly sent at 4:52 p.m.
“Don’t let them pls,” reads the reply attributed to Janet.
“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. As long as I can remember my dad had repeatedly warned me of certain people and their ways,” Prince Michael said in a statement accompanying the image of the text exchange.
“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,” he said. “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.”
Janet, 46, has not responded publicly to accusations she’s one of the mysterious “third parties” who whisked Katherine away to an Arizona spa and kept her in isolation for a 10-day absence that led a Los Angeles judge to suspend her guardianship of Michael’s three kids.
But she appeared with Jermaine and Rebbie alongside Katherine when the 82-year-old gave an on-camera statement to ABC’s “Nightline” saying she was “devastated” about the custody shake-up and felt undermined by a “bunch of lies.”
A court-appointed lawyer who spoke to Paris and Prince Michael Monday night told Judge Mitchell Beckloff Wednesday that the two oldest children wanted their cousin TJ Jackson, one of Tito Jackson’s sons, to make a temporary guardianship bid in Katherine’s absence.
The judge granted TJ's request in court after he claimed Katherine's voice sounded "slurred" when she finally made phone contact with the kids Tuesday night, nine days after she left on what was supposed to be a trip to watch her sons perform.
Paris posted several Twitter messages complaining about the separation from Katherine, at one point vowing retribution.
After days of worrying, she sounded joyous when she sent a tweet around 3 a.m. Thursday announcing her grandmother’s return.
"Grandma's here! #thankyougod <33,” she wrote. Her relief came after a relative in the Calabasas house reported over the weekend that Katherine was missing. The siblings reportedly feared she was kidnapped in a plot to enlist her influence in a newly revived battle over Michael’s will. Los Angeles County Sheriff's authorities investigated the matter and determined she was out of state with family members.
Randy and Jermaine later said she was resting in a spa on doctor’s orders.
Katherine denied she had been kidnapped when she surfaced Wednesday, telling "Nightline" she was “good and fine” and on her way home.
She’s expected to meet with her lawyer Thursday to request restoration of her guardianship role.
She called her absence a “vacation” and claimed she made the decision to cut herself off.
“One reason I didn't call is I just gave up my phone and I didn't want to have any phone calls while I was here,” she said.
Am I the only one that thinks this sh!t is 1 hot ghetto mess
