Rowe Not Looking for Cash Cow

16. ATTENTION! DEBBIE ROWE SAYS HELL NO! TO RAISING MICHAEL'S KIDS - TMZ YOU'RE A LITTLE SLOW ON THIS BOMBSHELL STORY SO EVERYONE HERE IT IS

Rebecca White, a close friend to the woman, revealed to the syndicated TV show "Extra" several email exchanges and text messages she received from Rowe regarding the custody of Jackson's kids — Michael Jr. 12, and Paris, 11 — just days after the King of Pop's death.

"My lawyer is telling me I have to take some responsibility about the welfare of the children," Rowe wrote in a July 5 email to White. "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."

"In one text message [Rowe], says, 'Just wait until [July] 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," said White.

The Post reported exclusively today that Rowe had cut a sickening $4 million deal to dump the kids. Rowe squeezed the money from her former mother-in-law, 79-year-old Katherine Jackson, in exchange for giving up her custodial rights, sources said.

Rowe's lawyer Eric George sent out a raft of letters today denouncing The Post's story and claiming there had been no secret deal reached.

"Particularly insidious is your misrepresentation that Ms. Rowe has accepted money to give up custody rights," George said in the letter. "That statement is unequivocally false."

Rowe, a former nurse who bore the boy and girl for Jackson, had forfeited her parental rights before in return for big bucks. After their birth, Rowe agreed that Jackson raise the kids in exchange for a lump sum of $8 million, plus $900,000 in annual payments for five years.

When Jackson was accused of child molestation in 2005, Rowe emerged again to reclaim her parental rights. She ended up giving the Gloved One full custody once again — this time for $4 million and a $900,000 home.

White told Extra she believes Rowe is motivated by money.

"The motivation is money," she said. "I really have to be honest... If the children aren't the ones she wants, what else will she gain from it?"

White said Rowe has always been confused about whether she ever wanted to raise the kids.

"I think things change on a daily basis," White said. "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."

In an earlier email dated July 2, Rowe said "These kids are not mine. They were never mine. They were always Michael's. I was Michael's best friend.

17. PLEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!!!!!! This is a cash only deal! WHO can't see that? What "mother" would have entered into this agreement in the first place? Think about it people! How would YOU feel if YOUR "mother" SOLD you to Michael Jackson and after his death only was concerned about whether she would still get paid, not any concern about her "children". Poor kids. They are not stupid and will realize more and more the circumstances surrounding their birth as they get older. I think the Jackson's should get the kids as at least they actually care about the kids, (such as it is) unlike their real parents.

18. why would they say shes not looking for money? Why else would she suddenly want custody if she never wanted anything to do with those kids in the first place? She was paid a whopping 8 MILLION dollars just for having MJs kids that lady is such a user, i mean 8 million wtf how sad he had to pay people off like that, ridiculous amounts of money and now she still wants more, all her and joe jackson see are money tickets in my opinion, why dont they both just run off together? At least the kids would be safe amd the family wouldnt have to deal with Debbie and her custody crap.

19. Okay I really am interested in seeing how this story turns out. The whole conception of these kids is mysterious....I cant imagine Micheal Jackson having sex with HER...the truth will probably never come out as to who the biological father is. The important thing is that Micheal raised these kids and they are old enough to remember him....he shaped them...he gave them a childhood. Its the core of who they always will be.

My only hope is that she doesnt hurt these kids....are the kids going to feel abandoned one day...why didnt my mom want me....I just hope that whatever she does, that its sincere. The kids are parentless right now and its so sad. Grandparents are good, aunts and uncles are good, i just hope that these kids are able to adjust to a new life without Micheal.

20. Michael was surrounded by yes people and everyone seemed to do everything they could to stay in his good graces. He coerced a woman to bear two children for him for god's sake. of course, she is responsible for her actions, but it takes two to tango and michael is the one who set up this whole awful situation with those children being orchestrated and born. Why did he even have them? to take attention off the accusations that always surrounded him?

He made a deal with her for babies. a monetary deal. now she wants the estate to live up to the deal. The whole thing is twisted, but it isn't all her! and i'm sick of the jacksons pretending to be so normal and innocent and loving. come on!

21. It blows my mind on how the Jackson children came into world. He "shopped" the egg banks and sperm banks for physical attributes and parental intelligence levels, and natural abilities. These kids were not conceived as an intimate demonstration of love between two people, but were designed by Michael Jackson - as one would design their furnishings in their home. It's sickening and weird. Debbie Rowe was just an incubator for the first two kids, and she should be paid (as per her and MJ's agreement), as any other incubator would be paid. I feel sorry for all of the kids because they have no idea who either of their biological parents are.

26. MTV News sent writer Rebecca White to Rowe's Palmdale, California ranch for an interview in 2008. Rebecca White established an email friendship with Debbie Rowe. MTV never posted the interview until July 13, probably in anticipation of backstabbing snake Rebecca White's tell all July 14. What a piece of work that Rebecca White is! She couldn't wait to betray Debbie Rowe's confidences. Debbie Rowe was right to move away from the phonies in and around Hollywood.

28. 8 Million dollars is chump change to multi-millionaires. MJ was reported to have made a half BILLION $$$ in his career and died over 400 Million $$$ in debt.

Anyhow, that 8 million was a divorce settlement, not an amount paid for the children. Some sick freak started that rumor.

29. I don't even know what to make out of this Debbie Rowe. I hate to judge here but IF she is seeking monies from the Jackson Family to NOT seek custody, Karma is going to be one hell of a bitch to this woman and will ultimately be the most hated woman in America. Children are not supposed to be for sale...not for any reason and not at any cost. Ms. Rowe is losing so much credibility here it seems. The delays in seeking custody or not seeking custody seems obvious that all she is doing is trying to get a financial settlement here to not take Katherine into court. Those poor kids. To grow up one day and find out that their own mother put a price tag on their cute little heads. On the other hand, to have Joe Jackson having a hand in raising them too is utterly a disgusting thought. In about 10 years we will see the end result of the effects of all of this will have on these adorable little kids. I can only pray they don't end up all kinds of messed up because of all of this. What a tragedy. MJ probably never thought these 3 kids would end up as damn PAWNS in his dynasty. DISGUSTING.

30. friend of Michael Jackson’s babymama Debbie Rowe has come forward with revealing e-mails that make it clear that Rowe has no interest in actually getting custody of the two children she had with the King of Pop.
In an interview to air tonight on Extra Debbie Rowe’s friend and confidant, Rebecca White, reveals details from e-mails from Rowe sent days after Michael’s tragic death.
From the start, Rowe made it clear that she did not want custody of the kids. In an email dated July 2, 2009, she writes:
“I’m not going after custody. These kids are not mine. They were never mine. They were always Michael’s. I was Michael’s best friend.”

But then, three days later on July 5, Rowe writes to White:
“My lawyer is telling me I have to take some responsibility about the welfare of the children. 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.”

And one bit of information White shares would all-but confirm the report from this morning that Debbie had reached a settlement with the Jacksons.

White tells Extra: “In one text message [Debbie] 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.”
