Paparazzi added to grief for Jackson kids
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Scrutiny by paparazzi has made it more difficult for the children of Michael Jackson to grieve for their dead father, a family cousin who serves as co-guardian of the singer’s children told a jury on Thursday.
TJ Jackson said the three children don’t like the attention, and he supports any legislative effort to curb photographers from pursuing images of the sons and daughters of celebrities.
“In my opinion, I know it’s making everything harder for the kids to grieve and recover and progress,” Jackson said.
The comments came as Jackson testified during a civil trial involving the death of the pop star about his relationship with his famous uncle and the singer’s parenting of his children.
