Debbie Rowe's Emails About Seeking Custody
Rebecca White, a woman who claims to be a friend of Debbie Rowe's (perhaps now a former friend), shared emails with Extra that Debbie supposedly wrote about seeking custody of the children after Michael Jackson's untimely death.
On July 2, an email that Debbie is said to have written says:
"I'm not going after custody," Debbie writes to Rebecca. "These kids
are not mine. They were never mine. They were always Michael's. I was
Michael's best friend."
Then, in an email dated July 5, Debbie supposedly wrote:
"My lawyer is telling me I have to take some responsibility about the
welfare of the children," Rowe writes. "Do I want the kids? Hell no.
Does it look good for me to ask for them? Absolutely. I don't want to
look like the woman who gave away her kids and just forgot about them.
Would Michael want Joe to have them? I think it would be the last thing
that he would ever have wanted."

Rebecca explains Debbie's behavior this way:
"I think things change on a daily basis... It's not like she doesn't love them. It's not like she doesn't want the
best for them, but her life is different...The idea of being a mother
to those children is something I don't think she really wants. She
can't just sit back in the shadows and not say anything because then
she will be looked at as the woman who gave up her children and that's
a horrible thing to say... She had to do something to protect them in a
way."The motivation is money," Rebecca says. "I really have to be honest...
If the children aren't the ones she wants, what else will she gain from
it?"
Rebecca also claims a deal is being negotiated.
"In one text message she had just said, 'Just wait until the 14th.
Everything will be done after the 14th.'... There's definitely going to
be a secret deal. There's definitely going to be a settlement that's
going to come out of this."
I just can't help but be skeptical because: 1) what type of friend would so brazenly sell you out like this? There's a reason many "sources" remain annonymous, and 2) why in the world would you discuss this type of issue in emails to anyone?
Yet... what do you think? Do you believe this? Which part (if any) of this do you believe?

If she feels she can't be a fit parent, then she doesn't need custody. No need to mess up the children's lives. What a horrible friend though if this is true.
When Rebecca said "The motivation is money." Was she talking about herself. Anyway, she seems like a great friend... :|

I can't believe she'd actually spell this out to such a shady "friend." Whatever she thinks about those kids, that "friend" should've kept it private. Doesn't she realize these words could hurt those children?
And I agree with Jenelle.

Who the H-E- double hockey sticks is this Rebecca??? She is certainly no friend of Deborah. That is the only issue with this post. Talking about money being a motivator.....
I think it looks terrible if she asks for custody. It looks like she's after money. And lots of it.

With friends like that who needs enemies?

I don't think these emails are real. But, if she ask for these kids, it will just look like she is after money. I mean, she hasn't had anything to do with them for most of their life. But now, when they are set to inherit millions, she wants custody. Those kids are already going through a lot because they lost their dad. Why make them go with someone they don't even know? They should definately go with Janet.

The so called "friend" is definitely more appalling than the story itself.

I completely agree.

unfortunately, the truth is that both these women are in it for the money... I can only hope these children are happy and loved, because this debbie doesnt seem like she could mother anyone.

Debbie's so called "friend" should not have publicy released her e-mails. However, this obviously happened for a reason: Debbie said in her e-mail that she did not want those kids, which means she probably won't get custody of them, which Michael didn't want anyway.
I don't believe this story either...why would Debbies friend rat her out...the media is ridiculous.
I feel bad for Debbie, she obviously loved Michael very much and agreed to their terms and conditions. Her not wanting these children does not make her a bad person, so she is not maternal face it some of us just are not. We never hear anything from her while Michael was alive, they were obviously both on the same page. I hope to God these children never read all the crap that is printed about this situation.

I am still not sure how she could benefit from the children's money. Wouldn't it all be in Trust for the benefit of the children? Since they are minors, the trustees would be the ones to sign anything should any money be removed from the trust. I really do not think she can calim any of the money for herself.
She obviously doesn't want to raise them but I can see how she's conflicted since Joe would be a terrible influence. I think the children should be with Rebbie or Marlon - the most stable of the Jackson siblings.

looks like she has found herself some new friends ha.
Debbie Row is not working on a deal to get money out of the Jacko's.
Her attorney has filed off a letter to the NY paper to retract the fabricated crap they print. She does not want money for the kids.

That's because she already got her money for the kids when she and Michael divorced. It was always about the money for her.

TMZ posted the docs from her attorney stating she does not want money.
