The eldest of the three Jackson children took to Twitter to further confuse the situation, claiming that family members have been lying to them and manipulating Katherine Jackson.

 

Prince wrote: “I would first like to start off this tweet 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.

 

“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 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.”

 

Prince then posted an image of a text message in which he had written: “This is enough so I am texting you for the simple fact that WE DEMAND TO SPEAK TO MY GRANDMA NOW!!!”

 

A reply was shown from ‘Janet Jackson’ which simply read: “Don't let them pls.”

 

This is the latest development in the argument between family members, which results in Katherine Jackson losing custody of the children yesterday. Tito Jackson Jr, their cousin, is currently caring for them.
