Jackson’s mother is ‘doing well’ at home

Katherine Jackson is doing well, her lawyer said after meeting the Jackson family matriarch.

Perry Sanders Jr said their talk was long and productive, adding he was to reveal more of their discussion.

It is the first time Mr Sanders has been able to speak to his client in person in several days.

On Thursday, Mrs Jackson returned home to her grandchildren after a family battle led a US judge to transfer the guardianship of late singer Michael Jackson’s three children to his nephew TJ.

The late pop star’s 14-year-old daughter Paris − who had been broadcasting her fears about her grandmother’s whereabouts on Twitter for days − tweeted “grandma’s here! #thankyougod” in the early morning hours.

Mrs Jackson was granted custody of Paris, Prince Michael, 15, and Blanket, 10 after their father’s death. Judge Mitchell Beckloff suspended that arrangement on Wednesday because Mrs Jackson had left the family home in Los Angeles.

The Jackson family matriarch later vowed to fight to regain legal guardianship of the children.

“I am devastated that while I’ve been away, my grandchildren have been taken away from me, and I’m coming home to see about that,” Mrs Jackson said in an interview with ABC News.

Entertainment media portrayed the 82-year-old’s absence as an abduction by Michael’s siblings, who are allegedly furious theydid not inherit any of the singer’s assets.

Paris fuelled the speculation with a series of tweets in which she insisted her grandmother was “missing” and wrote “something is really off, this isn’t like her at all... I wanna talk directly to my grandmother”.

But Katherine Jackson insisted she was visiting a spa in Arizona to rest and that rumours of a kidnapping were false, telling ABC News: “My children would never do anything to me like that.”

Prince Michael was not convinced. “As long as I can remember my dad had repeatedly warned me of certain people and their ways,” he wrote in a lengthy tweet.

“Although I am happy my grandma was returned, after speaking with her I realised how misguided and how badly she was lied to. I’m really angry and hurt.”

Prince Michael also lashed out at his relatives for denying the children contact with their grandmother while she was in Arizona.
