It would seem that Gladys Knight's son has posted bond and is free now while an investigation into his business activities is ongoing. Now what I'm learning is that what he's really guilty of is a civil tax matter. I did wonder why the state government was doing an 'investigation' into this matter. Something white businessmen do all the time; it's wrong but they don't face criminal charges unless they really fucked up! Yes the evil spectre of racism raises it's ugly head yet again! As long as the white establishment is in charge (and thankfully that won't be much longer) they're gonna' do shit like this! NOw I'm not letting shanga (damn what a stupid name) off the hook! look boy do you see what you're doin' to your mama and your family?!!? What kind of selfish piece o'shit are you! Your mama went out on a limb for your sorry ass trying to help you out and this is how you repay her?
Gladys, for your own good hire somebody else to run this business and fire this irresponsible boy or withdraw your name from further use on this business! You worked long and hard to build up your public personae, don't let this selfish boy destroy it!
Gladys Knight’s Chicken & Waffles restaurants raided, singer’s son center of $1M investigation
NY Daily News
Soul legend Gladys Knight’s son spent several hours in a Georgia jail after authorities fingered his popular chicken and waffles chain in a $1 million probe.
Shanga Hankerson, 39, was booked into Clayton County Jail in Jonesboro,
Ga., just before 4 a.m. Wednesday on two counts of theft by taking,
jail records show. He was released more than ten hours later on $22,400
bond, a Georgia Department of Revenue official told the Daily News.
Hankerson is accused of stealing more than $650,000 in sales and
withholding state taxes, with the grand total amounting to more than $1
million after interest and penalties.
Authorities on Tuesday had unsuccessfully tried to serve arrest
warrants at Hankerson’s home. The same day, revenue department agents
seized documents, computers and bank records in a raid at his three
Gladys Knight’s Chicken & Waffles restaurants and their corporate
headquarters. Gladys Knight’s Chicken & Waffles restaurants raided

The restaurateur was on vacation in Florida Tuesday, but turned himself
in at the Georgia jail early Wednesday, revenue department spokesman
William Gaston told The News.
He stressed that the investigation centered on “theft and not fraud.”
“This was money that he collected and was supposed to remit to the
state and he did not,” Gaston said. “He reported all the sales tax that
he was collecting (and) he converted it to personal use.”

was "not guilty of the theft charges leveled against him." Gladys Knight sings ‘Happy Birthday’ to officer
"It appears to Mr. Sadow that this is a civil tax matter masquerading as a criminal case," he added.
Officials have not accused Knight, best known for her 1973 hit “Midnight Train to Georgia,” of any wrongdoing.

“Gladys Knight lent her name to her son's restaurants in the Atlanta
area, similar to a celebrity endorsement,” a rep for the singer said in a
statement. “Ms. Knight was not involved in any way with the operation
of the restaurants and she is sure that her son and his business
partners will rectify the situation.
“As always, her main concern is for her family’s well-being and she is
making sure the family has the guidance they need to assess the
situation and move forward.” Gladys Knight reacts to death of Pips member William Guest
Authorities opened the criminal investigation on Hankerson in April
after he had defaulted on more than two dozen payment plans dating back
to 2012, Gaston said.
The chicken and waffles joints are expected to reopen as early as Thursday, he added.
Now Lindsey, I told you that no one could love you like me! NOw you need to cut your losses and come back to me and let's get it on again! Lovely lovely and lovely! Eitherway, here's the story!
Lindsay Lohan asks for privacy amid relationship turmoil
Actress
Lindsay Lohan and Egor Tarabasov arrive at the 2016 British Asian
Awards at a central London hotel, Friday, April 8, 2016.
Actress Lindsay Lohan is hoping speculation about her relationship
woes ends following reports of a bust-up with fiance Egor Tarabasov over
the weekend.
The door to the Mean Girls stars London home was kicked down by
police in the early hours of Saturday morning after the 30-year-old was
heard screaming for help from her balcony, with a video of the incident being obtained by British newspaper The Sun.
Lindsay also referenced difficulties in her personal life with a
series of posts on her Twitter account on Sunday, accusing her Russian
boyfriend of cheating on her, but on Monday, she appeared to regret her public remarks.
"I would appreciate (it) if these speculations regarding my personal
life would respectfully come to a halt," she wrote on Instagram
alongside a picture of a heart-shaped cloud with sunlight behind it.
"Unfortunately, a private matter has become more public than I can
control and I would be extremely grateful if my fiance and myself could
discuss our personal matters on our own.
"There are more important things going on in the world than our relationship. Please leave us be to solve our personal matters." In the video obtained by The Sun, which was shot by a neighbour, the actress can be heard accusing Egor of trying to strangle her.
"He just strangled me. He almost killed me," she shouted, before
adding her name and address as she begged for one of her neighbours to
call for help. "Please please please. He just strangled me. He almost
killed me. Everybody will know. Get out of my house."
Lindsay addressed her boyfriend as a "sick f---" before telling him he needed help.
"It's my house get out of my house," she continued. "I'm done. I
don't love you anymore. You tried to kill me. You're a f---ing psycho.
We are finished."
No arrests were made as police found no crime was committed.
Lindsay was back on good form on Saturday night as she headed out
with a friend, but later took to Twitter to accuse her fiance of
cheating on her. She also hinted that she might be pregnant in a series
of bizarre posts, but she has yet to confirm if she is in fact with
child.
This is one reason that you don't hire family for your business! Especially snot nosed spoiled brats who have no appreciation of the hard work that goes into maintaining a business! You give these brats some money and give them the boot! If They use up all their money, oh fucking well! That's their problem! Gladys we are so sorry about this! I know you're heartbroken over the abject unrepentant betrayal of your son! You gave him a job, and he basically snubbed you with his irresponsible behavior! Well he's heading where he belongs and hopefully he'll stay there a while and have time to think about how he fucked up his life and yours too!
$8 Mill Business Destroyed, Here’s What Gladys Knight’s Son Did With Money
Posted On : July 22, 2016
ILOSM
fam, the Gladys Knight Chicken and Waffles drama has taken another
shocking turn. The investigation has uncovered a number of things about
her son, Shanga Hankerson, and how he actually spent the restaurant’s
misappropriated funds. According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, he
has been accused of spending company funds on sex and drugs.
“He
was just stealing money and converting it to his own use,” said Josh
Waites, the director of special investigations for the state Department
of Revenue.
On
paper, the company was making $8 million in annual sales, but years of
chaos at the Atlanta institution had pushed it to the brink of collapse.
Funds were so scarce that managers rushed to cash employees’ bounced
paychecks with money from the downtown restaurant’s safe before
Hankerson’s representatives arrived to retrieve it, they said.
“I
think he was just in it for the money in the end,” said Charles
Preston, 63, who worked as a manager at the downtown location for eight
years until he quit in April.
It
was discovered that the funds had been used for recreational purposes
when investigators began looking at Shanga’s personal belongings.
Despite the restaurant’s staggering profits, Shanga didn’t exactly live
the life of a profitable businessman. His Cascade home in Atlanta is
only valued at $135,000 and it has even been reported that his vehicles
were lack thereof. When his car broke down, he began driving the
company’s van. “Even the dishwasher drove a better car than Shanga did,”
said manager Preston. “People would tease him.”
These
company funds went far afield from typical restaurant industry
spending. During two months in 2012, more than $1,300 went to Toys R Us,
Pottery Barn Kids and video game stores, according to bank statements
obtained by the AJC. Hankerson used the money to fly in women from out
of town for sex, or have cash taken from the safe to buy marijuana,
former employees told investigators. The yo-yo dieter’s corporate funds
went to fast food runs to Wendy’s and a meal at a cut-price sushi
buffet.
However, that’s not all the investigation has uncovered, thus
far. After 16 years of success, Shanga and his business partners have
reportedly managed to steer the company into troubled waters. In the
short period of time, the restaurant’s quality has also diminished due
to lack of funds available to maintain daily operations.Employees
complained of barely having hot water in the restaurant, a broken
cooler door was never replaced, and on one occasion they didn’t even
have fresh chicken. Last minute trips to local grocery stores had become
routine because fresh ingredients were no longer stocked. Suppliers and
vendors also refused to deliver anything because the restaurant had
garnered a reputation of not paying bills.Unfortunately, there’s
probably much more that will be revealed about this case. The
investigation into Shanga Hankerson and Gladys Knight Chicken and
Waffles will be ongoing.

See Why Ronald Isley Is Suing This Woman For $1.3 Million!!!
Posted On : November 1, 2015
Well
Ronald Isley can’t seem to get away from unfair dealings when it comes
to money! As you know, our main man, Ronald was convicted in 2006 on
five counts of tax evasion and one count of willful failure to file a
tax return. Since his release, things were sort of quite as he’s still
been performing and entertaining since his release. Word on the Old
School Curb is that Ronald Isley is seeking $1.3 Million dollars in
damages for alleged shady business practices and forgery. Check out the
story as reported by the New York Post:
One
of the famed Isley Brothers wants to “Shout!” about a Bronx booking
agent who duped him out of $300,000, according to a lawsuit.
Ronald
Isley — who along with his two brothers formed the iconic group behind
hits like “Twist and Shout” and “That Lady” — claims E’lyse Murray of
Riverdale stole his concert fees and forged his signature on loan
documents.
Instead of placing $30,000 for a West Virginia concert
in April into escrow for Isley, Murray pocketed the money and got a
$60,000 loan in Isley’s name in May, according to the 74-year-old
R&B legend’s Manhattan Federal Court lawsuit.
Isley is seeking $1.3 million in damages. E’lyse Murray with Ronald Isley via websiteMurray,
who describes herself as an “agent to the stars,” said in a statement

Test Results In On Tito’s Alleged Child, How Can He Explain These Pics?
Posted On : October 27, 2015
Tito Jackson and his sonsstated
that “she doesn’t look anything like us” and that he’d never heard of
her before. That didn’t stop Tanay from going through with the test
though.
When
they got into the testing site they really knew something was up when
Tanay pulled them to the side and whispered into their ears (without
realizing that the boom mics can still pick up her sound) and asked them
if they would agree to not reveal the results to the public. Of course
3T disagreed and Tanay still went through with the test. Tito
had told his sons years ago that the woman was lying and that they took
a DNA test and it came back negative. He said he asked her to stop
lying to the public because it made him look like he had a daughter out
there that he didn’t take care of, but yet she kept going to the media
with her story.
Well this week the new episode aired and lo and behold, 3T got the DNA test results back confirming that Tito ain’t the pappy! They
told their Dad that they went behind his back to once and for all put
the lies to rest. Tito didn’t necessarily like that they did that, but
collectively they all breathed a sigh of relief that the ‘illegitimate
daughter story’ could now be laid to rest for all of the world to see. So
after all of that was confirmed, we couldn’t help but notice that not
too long ago, Tanay released several photos with her and Tito taking
selfies together
Now this woman has had a DNA test twice! She is not Tito Jackson's daughter and you know if this was any other white celebrity her charade would have come to a quick end! Just coz' Tito fucked her mother, doesn't mean he's her father by default! She has a father and it's not Tito Jackson! Her real father should be furious, but he evidently had nothing to do with his own daughter or is complicit in her scheme to use the Jackson's to further her own career! Talk about desperate for fame and there's no way what she's doing is legal! Just because yo' mama' fucked Tito Jackson doesn't make him your daddy bitch! You were ALREADY HERE when they were fuckin' around!
Tanay Jackson Goes Too Far: An Investigation Into Claims That She is A Jackson--Part I
(On Thursday, we will have part II of this piece so tune in) You may wonder why a blog that advocates
suicide awareness is doing a spot about Tanay Jackson, the reported
daughter of Tito Jackson, brother of the legendary and King of Pop
Michael Jackson. We've done similar reports on people who
pop up in the media who seem to be a bit unhinged. It's important to
report and talk about how delusions can ruin someone's life.
This picture was taken on a cruise liner when they were allegedly dating.
Tanay and Tito Jackson on a cruise
Meet Tanay Jackson. She states that she
is the daughter of Tito Jackson and that megastar Michael Jackson is her
Uncle. What a claim.
She was recently featured on the show, The Jacksons: Next Generation, which features the members of the group 3T.
3T group members: Taj, Taryl, and TJ
This group was immensely popular in the
90's and I have to say that I'm a huge fan of the Jackson family period!
I am also a huge fan of Michael Jackson! So I have much respect and
love for the Jackson family. I also have to state that if you believe
the allegations against Michael then you're a complete fool.
Now that I've gotten that out the way...
Tanay Jackson has been in the spotlight
for a number of years, making wild claims and stating that she is apart
of the family. She has also weighed in on family matters to the media
but no one seems to know this girl or have a clue to who she is. Jermaine Jackson Meets Tanay Jackson and It Doesn't Go Well
Radar Online Tanay Jackson Why did she react to Jermaine that way?
This man is her Uncle according to her claims. If she's been to reunions
and things of that nature, wouldn't he at least recognize her? The only
daughter of Tito Jackson? Things aren't adding up for her.
This link is to an article where she
states that she has definite proof of her allegations....but she refuses
to release her birth certificate. To each his own, but if Michael
Jackson was my Uncle and I had proof to that, I think I'd let the world
blow my certificate up a million times over! So everyone could see. I'd
want to be invited to the next BBQ or family outing! Watch out Paris and
Blanket! I'll be over to babysit.
But that's not the case here. She
refuses to show her birth certificate or even on the latest episode of
the Jackson's show, tell how old she was.
More evasiveness.
In an interview with E Magazine in 2012,
she sat down with the magazine and stated that she thought Katherine
was a poor choice for guardian over Michael's kids and thought that TJ
would be a great fit.
Several mainstream news organizations
didn’t question Tanay’s connection to the Jacksons in July 2012 when she
gave interviews about the family. She told reporters she thought
Jackson matriarch Katherine Jackson, 84, was too old take care of Michael Jackson’s three children.
“I don’t think she should raise the
kids,” she said at the time. “I understand that she is attached to them
and she has been raising them and that’s probably why she still wants to
have a little bit more involvement.”
She also “upset the apple cart,” according to family members, by showing
up at a Jackson family party in Las Vegas. Tanay claims Jackson
patriarch Joe Jackson embraced her and acknowledged she was a member of the family.
3T members stated that they never met her and that her claims are false according to the article.
In the latest episode, "Full of
Surprises" it seems that Tanay is meeting 3T for the first time. She
makes a claim that they've met before, however, they didn't seem to
recognize her. She stated that she was playing with the youngest
brother's shoe, which implies that she was very young when this
happened. She stated that she would be the youngest sister if the claim
was true. In the episode, they go and get a DNA
test. On the way, Jermaine Jackson just shows up out of nowhere. It
leaves Tanay thinking that she was set up but the brothers are adamant
that it was not known where Jermaine was and that the camera crew knew
that he would be in the same building. She is not impressed with the
answer and Jermaine is not impressed with her. Tanay gets visibly ill as they walk
into the building. She sits in the bathroom for twenty minutes leaving
the brothers thinking that she is "nervous" and that their hearts "are
breaking for her". They are already believing that her claims are
nonsense. She finally comes out the bathroom and
begins to whisper in the Taj's ear. She whispers that she wants to keep
the results private but she is told that "it's not fair". She didn't
like that answer but she proceeds with the test. As of this writing, the
test results are not known. But the brothers do know the answer because
the show has already been taped and is now airing. SO you have to tune
in next week to get the results. The show teases that we will know next
week as they showed the brothers opening up the envelope. Why do you think she wanted to keep the
results private? So that she could continue to make claims that aren't
true and she assumed that no one would call her on it. She also knows
that media knows that the Jacksons are "not to be believed". She knows
that when the Jacksons say that something is not true, then probably is
some truth to it. That's what the MEDIA believes. Not the truth. She
knows that and she plays it up. Since she's already being reported out
there as a "Jackson" she will continue to make those claims. That's why. I'm glad they told her that it was not
fair because it isn't. She gets to make claims and the Jacksons have to
take it. She's STILL making claims on her Twitter and Instagram
accounts. It's like she lives in this fantasy world where she is apart
of the Jackson family. No, Tanay. When this episode plays,
you will be exposed and so will the media for believing your nonsense
for so many years. Back out now while you still can. IF you actually
released a statement stating that perhaps you were mentally ill or
even holding onto a dream, some people may be forgiving, including the
Jackson family for showing up at their family gatherings when you're not
family. SMH. But no. Like the true actress you are,
play it out to the end. Get every last exposure that you can. You've
gotten this far (which isn't far) on the Jackson name alone. Not your
talent. On the name. SO what will you have once you're exposed next
Friday. However, some very curious things have shown up on Tanay's private social media accounts.
Right off Tanay's Twitter Account Saved just in case she deletes it....
Why would she be "trowing' us a hint
like this? She is already trying to tell us that this DNA test is not
"legal" by law. By the way, her statement is totally false. Anyone can
take any type of test, but when establishing paternity, a New York
resident must take a court ordered DNA test. But that's establishing paternity.
The court won't recognize other paternity tests. However, this was a
SIBLING paternity test, not establishing paternity regarding child
support. Again, Tanay is twisting the truth to try and come out on top.
She fails miserably again and again. She also has an argument with someone on Twitter when she states...
A Twitter interaction with someone. She states that DNA can be altered. What reasoning would they have?
Supposedly a Picture of Tanay and Tito side by side. What do you think?
She states in her Twitter post that this picture is of her and her father and trying to say that they look exactly alike.
Here she is making more excuses about
DNA and how it could have been altered with. Again, she knows the
results of the test and is already coming up with excuses. DNA is not
junk science. It's real. She would have accepted it if it showed that
she was a sister? She wouldn't have claimed that it was altered with
then, right? What reason would the lab have to tamper
with the tests? It was done on television in front of everyone so when
would the tampering happen? Perhaps they put the test in the wrong
envelope. But why? Why would this happen? Why would they do this? What
reason would they have for tampering with the test? There is no indication that they stated
they didn't want a sister, however I could understand if they didn't
want HER as a sister. She's done a lot of press and has made comments
about the family, including comments about Katherine's ability to care
for Michael's children. How crude! I have spent some time this morning
looking at many of the interviews that she's done while claiming to be a
member of the Jackson family and it's a shame. Again when talking about
them, she is vague and gives generic answers but when speaking about
her music career, she's detailed and lively. It's like talking to
two different people. The person who is not sure of herself comes out
when talking about her "father" but her music career gets more attention
and her personality comes out.
"I always felt like I couldn't do this.... How are you ever going to know what you can do if you don't try?"
Advice that Michael Jackson supposedly gave her..... When the hell did
she talk to Michael? Did she just make this up? So, she talked to
Michael and he told her these things but just never mentioned to the 3T
brothers that they had a sister? Was it some big conspiracy?
Did she think no one was going to take her statements and put two and
two together? Well, I did. Guess with this whole disease thing I have
going on, I have lots of time on my hands.
I speak to some of my cousins. I come to
see very often......The family reunion is next month so I'll be able to
see everyone."
When speaking about the Jackson Family in general....how come none of
them have heard of her or spoke on her behalf? She speaks to her cousins
all right. Her REAL cousins. Not her fake Jackson cousins.
Check out her strange and stiff
performance in this YouTube video..... Definitely not "Jackson"
material. Not throwing shade but this is my opinion regarding Tanay's
"talent". Whose family reunion is she talking
about? Her 'REAL' family or the imagined family relationship she has
with the Jacksons? She picked the perfect family. A family that does not
do interviews or speak with the media that often. When they do, its
only to promote their albums and even then, they are careful to speak
about their private lives. This is not a bad thing. Look how the
media has done the Jackson family in the past. The one sided coverage
given towards the prosecution during Michael's trial is reason enough.
Even though the evidence clearly showed that the Arvizo family were a
pack of grifting liars, the media didn't give us this side. They showed
favorites with the prosecution and convicted him in the court of public
opinion. Anyone listening to the testimony could clearly see that the
family was lying. Anyone listening to the media had Michael convicted.
So, she picked the perfect family. A little nugget to the Jackson family if
any of you ever read this: STOP LETTING PEOPLE WRITE YOUR HISTORY.
SPEAK UP AND CALL THESE LIARS OUT! By the time Michael started speaking out
for himself, it was too late. What Michael said was not to be believed
by many but people would believe lying reporters any day. Michael even
spoke about it in, Moonwalk, his autobiography. He stated that if
he said something crazy, everyone would go, Michael is crazy. But if a
reporter said the same nonsense, everyone would believe it. Don't get me wrong. I blame the media
wholeheartedly. They have the power to shape a story. The media is the
most powerful entity in the world. All they have to do is report one
side, and by sundown, everyone would believe that one side and look at
the other side as if they are crooked, criminal, lying sacks of
crap. The media took the story that she was a "Jackson", didn't bother
doing an ounce of research, and went with that. Just read this article done by the LA Times on Tanay.... Tanay relies on her lineage, not her talent...
OUCH! CAN YOU GET MORE HARSH THAN THAT LA TIMES? THE THING IS YOU DIDN'T BOTHER TO CHECK OUT HER STORY.... Tanay has done her research, I can say
and seems to know a lot about the family. She knows just enough
information to do interviews but not enough to make definitive answers.
When it comes to talk to the Jackson family, her answers are just too
generic to be believable. However, when she talks about herself, she is
more detailed and gives answers that are less evasive. I can't believe
that people haven't picked up on this nonsense. Here's another video in where she makes claims about TJ and Katherine. Tanya Comments on Katherine Jackson. She calls her Grandma. Good lord I'm shocked at how this girl can say
that she is a member of the family and the media takes her word for it.
Why? Because she's black? Of course that's not it, but I'm wondering
what was it about her that made them not question anything? She has two
pictures that she showed them of her and Tito and that's all they
needed? I have one with me and Ludacris so that means something, right?
Hey, me and Luda got a thing going, so call a press release!! NO I'm happily getting married to a wonderful man. She's never met these people. Her
answers are strangely vague but no one calls her on it. They've never
met this person before and the media treats her as if she's a member of
the family. It's clear that on the episode of the show, no one has met
her before. Yet, on this interview, she's talking about them like she
knows who they are. It goes on and on and on. If you want the truth, please click on
the links and make a judgment for yourself. It's a crying shame but you
have to admit that she's skilled. In one video, she states that her
"grandpa checks for fishy stuff". That he checks her deals and looks for
fishy things. Fishy indeed. The interviewer should have picked up that
the fishy thing is coming from the woman across from him. That's even a
strange word to use. It's very strange to watch. Hell, let me claim that
I'm apart of the Jackson family! I'm sure someone will take my word for
it. Maybe even get an interview out of it.
The Jackson family has a bit of blame in
this. They have a habit of NOT talking to the media but that's for good
reason. The things that they say tend to get turned around. However,
when swindlers come out the wood work, they don't check these people and
call their bullshit. One of the members of 3T did step forward in a
tweet and state that she is not their sister. But that's the extent of
it, with the exception of having her on the show.
Check out Tanay's "talent" for yourself.
I don't mean to come off as snotty, that's not what this blog is about.
However, I don't see the connection with this highly talented family. I
wish her the best as an artist. But doing it on someone's name is just
ridiculous. I wish people wouldn't indulge in this behavior just to make
a name for themselves.
A New York woman who’s promoting her music career by claiming to be Michael Jackson’s niece is not Tito Jackson’s daughter, Jackson family members say in an exclusive statement to RadarOnline.com. Tanay Jackson,
30, told Radar that she has documentary proof that Tito is her dad — a
1984 birth certificate — but she is refusing to show it since her
publicist says she doesn’t believe she has to “justify” her DNA.
She did provide two photos of her cheek to cheek with Tito, including one in which he is kissing her. PHOTOS:

Anxiety, Depression & Insecurity, Art Therapist Claims
Now Taj Jackson,
41, tells Radar that his father has chosen to stay publicly silent
about Tanay’s claim, but he and his brothers — who make up the group 3T —
have decided her push to promote a music video and book shows using the
Jackson name is too much.
“As my brothers and I traveled throughout Europe this year as 3T, we
came across some pretty disturbing news,” Taj said. “A person named
Tanay Jackson is still performing and going on various media outlets
claiming to be directly related to us. She is stating that she is my
dad’s daughter and our sister. Although she has claimed in the past to
have a close relationship with us, my brothers and I, to the best of our
knowledge, have never even met her.”
In fact, a news release sent to Radar by her publicist boasts that
she is the only Jackson — other than Michael — to be invited to perform
in Romania.
“It is unfortunate that she is deceiving the public and various fans
from all over the world, for her own publicity and career,” Taj said.
“Certain media outlets have not even done a simple background check
before running her stories or putting her on TV.”
Several mainstream news organizations didn’t question Tanay’s
connection to the Jacksons in July 2012 when she gave interviews about
the family. She told reporters she thought Jackson matriarch Katherine Jackson, 84, was too old take care of Michael Jackson’s three children.
“I don’t think she should raise the kids,” she said at the time. “I
understand that she is attached to them and she has been raising them
and that’s probably why she still wants to have a little bit more involvement.”
She also “upset the apple cart,” according to family members, by
showing up at a Jackson family party in Las Vegas. Tanay claims Jackson
patriarch Joe Jackson embraced her and acknowledged she was a member of the family. PHOTOS: Michael Jackson: Through the Years
“We thought by ignoring this, it would simply go away,” Taj now says.
“We didn’t want to give her any more publicity or airtime. But here I
am today, still commenting on this lie. I wish Tanay the best on
launching her music career, but I just wish she would stop using our
name and Jackson fans to do it.”
Tanay claims her mother dated the Jackson brother after the birth of
his three sons and when he was having marital trouble with their mother.
She took her purported father to court in 2009, asking a New York family judge to force him to publicly acknowledge paternity. PHOTOS: Janet Jackson Through The Years
Tanay says she understands why her purported half-brothers reject her, saying it tarnishes the memory of his mother, who was murdered two decades ago.
“I told them I did not tell their dad to sleep with my mom,” she says. “That’s a decision he made because he was going through things with their mom.”
She unsuccessfully went to court in 2009 to ask a family judge in Brooklyn to order Tito to publicly acknowledge his fatherhood. PHOTOS: Hollywood’s 16 Nastiest Custody Battles
Tanay says she got to speak to her famous father when he performed in
New York City with his brothers two years ago. He acknowledged her as
his daughter from the stage, she says.

He's out of the NFL, but ex-NY Jets safety Kerry Rhodes is still in game day shape -- and flexed his physique this week during some beach football with his actress fiancee.
BTW, Rhodes is engaged to actress Nicky Whelan -- the hot chick Owen Wilson almost banged in "Hall Pass."
Game on!
So that psychopath from Kansas City is not Prince's son! Well we all know by now that Jordan Nelson is Prince's only true son. He's inherited everything already anyway, though in true fashion like his dad he's keeping everything quiet and letting this charade go on that they're still trying to determine the heirs! Lol! His dad would be proud of him! I have to admit, I'm glad coz' this guy is a fuckin' loon! He doesn't deserve to be Prince's son!

MINNEAPOLIS – DNA test results show a Colorado prison inmate is not Prince's son, a person who has seen a sealed document said Wednesday.
The finding means that Carlin Q. Williams is not entitled to inherit a fortune worth up to $300 million.
The person who spoke to The Associated Press was not authorized to release the finding and therefore requested anonymity. TMZ, citing unnamed sources with direct knowledge of the case, first reported the DNA results.
Attorneys for Bremer Trust, the special administrator
for the estate, filed the results Wednesday in Carver County District
Court.
Prince died of an accidental drug overdose on April
21 and no will has emerged for him. He had no known surviving children
although a few other people besides Williams have filed documents
claiming Prince was or might have been their father.
Williams claimed that his mother had unprotected sex
with Prince at a Kansas City, Missouri, hotel in 1976. Williams, a
39-year-old Kansas City man whose long criminal record includes drug and
domestic violence charges, is serving nearly eight years in federal
prison for unlawfully transporting a firearm in a stolen vehicle.
An attorney for Williams did not immediately return messages seeking comment.
Messages left with the Bureau of Prisons to request
an interview with Williams were not immediately returned Wednesday. He
has previously denied a request to be interviewed by The Associated
Press.
Williams' mother, Marsha Henson, said she didn't
believe that the DNA results show their claim is false. Sitting in a
lawn chair in her Kansas City backyard, she told the AP she was unaware
of the results.
"I don't believe that. I think they're positive," she
said before ending the conversation and referring additional questions
to their attorney. She declined repeated requests to elaborate.
Under Minnesota law, Prince's sister, Tyka Nelson,
several half-siblings, and a possible niece and grandniece currently
stand to inherit shares of the estate.
"There is really nothing to say," said President
Nelson, Tyka Nelson's son. "There isn't much to say because it was never
a thing."
The judge overseeing the estate case, Carver County
Judge Kevin Eide, has not set a deadline for filing paternity and
kinship claims.
Eide issued an order Wednesday sealing Williams' test
results "due to the confidential nature of the determination of
heirship issues" under Minnesota law.
Williams had long asserted that he was Prince's son,
though it's not clear whether Prince was aware of that. Before he went
to prison, Williams was trying to launch a career as a hip-hop artist
under the moniker Prince Dracula. His page on Reverbnation, a site that
supports emerging artists, describes him as Prince's son, and a vocalist
and lyricist. Like Prince's music, the sound is heavy on synthesizers.
Okay, I'm a bit of a movie buff, not in the traditional way though. I like movies that might be considered B movies but then so do a lot of other people. I'm not into the Cary Grant or Betty Davis type. They just made really really old movies to me. But here's the real list of movies that are true classics to everyone I asked Black or white, or Asian or Hispanic!
11) War of the Worlds- this classic version of the H.G. Wells science fiction novel of the same name starring Gene Barry alias 'Amos Burke' from 'Burke's Law' that classic tv series and 'Bat Materson' a great tv western, is one of the best versions of this story that I've ever seen! Go out and get it and watch it on a slow Saturday afternoon! You will love it; I promise!
10) Creature from the Black Lagoon- always a classic and one of the first horror movies that had more to do with science than witchcraft or devil worship or something.
9) The War Wagon- now john wayne the boob I mean the duke made a lot of pretty good movies. He made even more bad ones, but this was one of his best! And he had a superior actor in the form of Kirk Douglas starring in it with him! Really, Kirk Douglas made this movie great for he is an actor's actor (he's still alive)
8) Charlie Chan- I know that the asians don't really like this series, and I don't blame them for all of the racist overtones in many of the movies, especially the ones sidney toler did, but I have to admit that the series was quite enjoyable.
7) Blackula-Now this exploitation movie about a black vampire sounds ridiculous but it was actually a good movie! Both of them were.
6)The Golden Child- now Eddie Murphy's film the Golden Child is an old 80's film that was really one of his best films of that era! I can't believe that a sequel wasn't done of this movie in the era of big budget sequels and considering he did two sequels for Beverly Hills Cop a movie I didn't really care all that much for; but you see this film was a box office hit also and deserved a sequel for it! Hopefully they'll be working on it now being Eddie hasn't done anything lately and this would be a good new movie for him. No not a comeback for Eddie didn't go out or anything, but we'd love to see a sequel to this movie.
5) Purple Rain- now Prince had this movie made in the 80's when production of black movies had slowed down to an absolute crawl and it was actually a very very very good movie! It's one of my favorites and will always remain one of my faves.
4) Slaughter- Jim Brown's two slaughter movies were really just great movies. Jim Brown was the ultimate Hebrew hero! Another small note; you know that Jim Brown tried first to try an get funding for Prince's Purple Rain through Richard Pryor's company whom he worked for before drug addicted drug addled richie boy pryor (no I didn't like fool) fired him! He lost out on millions being a stupid, ignorant, drug addicted fool!
3)Ssssss- with Dirk Benedict was one of the ultimate science fiction type horror flicks with a scientist turning his daughter's boyfriend into a snake.
2) The Street Fighter- and no I'm not talking about that stupid video game! I'm talking about Sonny Chiba the REAL street fighter! Now Sonny is a real martial artist and the world was deprived of a treat for Sonny Chiba a japanese actor and hong kong superstar Bruce Lee were planning to do a movie together! Bruce Lee died before they could do it and the world lost the greatest teamups that could have ever been!
1) Shaft- now Shaft with Richard Roundtree is the ultimate classic of all movies! There is no other movie that could possibly touch this classic! And something a lot of people don't know; Shaft was written by a white guy. Imagine that!
Soul legend Gladys Knight’s son spent several hours in a Georgia jail after authorities fingered his popular chicken and waffles chain in a $1 million probe.
Employees
complained of barely having hot water in the restaurant, a broken
cooler door was never replaced, and on one occasion they didn’t even
have fresh chicken. Last minute trips to local grocery stores had become
routine because fresh ingredients were no longer stocked. Suppliers and
vendors also refused to deliver anything because the restaurant had
garnered a reputation of not paying bills.Unfortunately, there’s
probably much more that will be revealed about this case. The
investigation into Shanga Hankerson and Gladys Knight Chicken and
Waffles will be ongoing.
Tito
had told his sons years ago that the woman was lying and that they took
a DNA test and it came back negative. He said he asked her to stop
lying to the public because it made him look like he had a daughter out
there that he didn’t take care of, but yet she kept going to the media
with her story.
So
after all of that was confirmed, we couldn’t help but notice that not
too long ago, Tanay released several photos with her and Tito taking
selfies together
