![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
Randy Jackson says his parents are being manipulated by people who are just out to make a buck -- problem is, his parents are sharing in the profits.
Randy has been tweeting today, bitterly complaining about the Jackson Family Foundation event Saturday night at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Bev Hills.
Randy says, "Let me be clear, there's no legitimate 'Jackson Family Foundation' that my brothers & sisters are aware of." And, Randy says, "I know my parents would not be involved if they really knew the characters they have aligned themselves with."
The Foundation, which lists on its website Joe Jackson as the Chairman and Katherine Jackson as Vice Chairman, is selling tickets for the event for as a much as $500 a pop. A spokesperson for one of the organizers -- voiceplate.com -- told TMZ some of the money will go to charity. He would not say how much.
And remember just days after Michael Jackson died, when Joe held a news conference announcing his new record label and touting a rapper who was signing with him? That rapper is singing at tonight's event.

EXPLOIT!?
RANDY, JERMAINE, LATOYA, AND JOE JACKSON ARE THE ONLY ONES I SEE EXPLOITING MICHAEL JACKSON.
STFU RANDY, WITH YOUR GREEDY ASS!
Michael's body wasn't even cold when Joe was on the horn soliciting other young singers to "manage".
He is so evil there aren't enough words.
Sounds like Randys not getting his fair share of the pie. He just needs to follow in daddy's footsteps. There's plenty of pie to go around, thanks to MJ's fans.
I do belive there's an old phrase...something about the pot calling the kettle.. What's the matter Randy? Not getting a cut of the action???
Randy also tweeted that he is tired of people using his parents:

Some people like to drunk dial, drunk text; he is drunk tweeting. Bartender, I'll take another "Jesus Juice."
I don't know about Katherine, but Joe's not being exploited - he's cosigning this foolishness. He'll be a pimp till the day he dies.
The Jacksons are EXPLOITING the Jacksons,DAH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad Mike is dead more air for all us to breath, now if the rest would drop dead we could get on with real problems in the world. Like Oil SPILLS to start with.
The whole family are greedy pieces of sh???.I feel sorry for Michael's children.
"Michael Jackson had a private memorial service today at Forest Lawn Glendale.
His parents didn’t show, neither did his kids. Sister LaToya was absent, according to guests, as well as brothers Marlon and Jackie. Sister Rebbie was also not seen. La Toya was in town. She even made money from a bunch of pr appearances this week connected to the anniversary.
Jermaine, Randy, Tito and Janet were there, however. So was former manager and publicist Raymone Bain. There were 60 guests in all, and no celebrities, not even Macaulay Culkin.
Jackie Jackson was recently put on the estate’s payroll. So his absence is strange.
More to come…"
