Katherine Jackson: I Was Kept From Contacting Grandkids While in Arizona... And are Paris and Prince Heroes?
UPDATE: 8/2/12
Katherine Jackson, who told ABC News a little more than a week ago that she went to Arizona for a “short vacation,”and that she didn’t contact her grandchildren Prince, Paris andBlanket because “I didn’t want to have any phone calls while I was here,” told the court a very different story in documents made public on Thursday in connection with her bid to be co-guardian of Michael’s kids with T.J. Jackson.
According to court papers, the Jackson matriarch said that while she was at a Tucson spa, she was completely unaware that she had been reported missing, because her cell phone and iPad were taken, and the room she was in didn’t having a working phone or TV.
Jackson also said she inquired about her grandkids, and was told “they were fine.”
The judge, who said he felt “the kids are in terrific hands” with their grandma, gave Katherine and T.J. co-guardianship, and is allowing them both to make decisions about the children’s upbringing and welfare.
Regardless, what do you think about Katherine’s about-face regarding her time in Tucson and being cut off from her grandchildren?
TMZ.COM Reports: KATHERINE JACKSON Suggests She Was DUPED
Into Arizona Trip
Katherine Jackson is strongly suggesting she was tricked into traveling to Tucson last month and BLOCKED from communicating with MJ's children -- this according to a sworn declaration by Katherine herself.
Katherine filed the declaration as part of her bid to obtain co-guardianship over Prince, Paris, and Blanket.
In the docs, Katherine claims she was scheduled to go on a road trip to New Mexico to watch her sons in concert -- but on July 14th, an unnamed doctor showed up to her house and told her it was better for her to take a plane instead.
Katherine says she obliged -- believing the doctor was under the orders of her longtime physician -- but when she got off the plane ... she found herself in Tucson, where she had been set up at a luxury resort.
According to her lawyer, "Her children took her to a spa ... because she had high blood pressure."
When she got to the resort, Katherine says her phone and iPad were taken away -- and her in-room telephone was disconnected. She says her TV was also shut off.
When Katherine asked about the grandchildren, she was told "they were fine" and there was nothing to worry about. She says she did NOT know she had been reported missing and her grandkids were freaking out.
Katherine says, "At the time, I trusted the people I was with to be honest with me."
The declaration flies completely in the face of the statements Katherine previously made in an interview with ABC News, when she called her sudden absence last month a "short vacation."
During the interview, Katherine -- surrounded by Jermaine, Rebbie, and Janet -- said, "One reason I didn't call is I just gave up my phone and I didn't want to have any phone calls while I was here."
In her declaration, Katherine never specifies who sent the doctor to her house, or who accompanied her to the spa.
B-13 Peer Review: In my life and time the title, "Hero" goes greatly overstated. Notwithstanding; Paris and Prince heroes? I believe that they (Prince and Paris) are and I say bravo! Mrs Jackson is a great guardian and the kids are well adjusted and they went to war for their grandma. Michael Jackson has greatly prepared his kids to care for his mom. Ironically, the presumption is that he left the mom to care for the kids>>> He knew very well what he was doing! I bet he is proud!

Paris Jackson:
Randy went to Twitter and verified the authenticity of the letter Tuesday night ... but the very next day, Paris called BS on her uncle.
In fact, the 14-year-old went to her own Twitter page ... and wrote, "i am going to clarify right now that what has been said about my grandmother is a rumor and nothing has happened , she is completely fine."
She added, "i'd like to know who made up the rumor… i will defend my beloved family member with all i have , even if it means from other family members.”
Minutes later, Paris sent a new message directed to Randy -- which said, "@randyjackson8 hello dear FAMILY member i don't appreciate you telling everyone things that aren't true thank you very much."
When one of her followers suggested Paris should have respect for Randy ... she replied, "Maybe he should have respect for his mother."
Prince Michael:
“This is enough so I am texting you for the simple fact that WE DEMAND TO SPEAK TO MY GRANDMA NOW!!!” Prince Michael states in the text allegedly sent at 4:52 p.m.
“Don’t let them pls,” reads the reply attributed to Janet.
I believe the original report from Paris and Prince was very accurate. I believe Mrs Jackson was held unawares, I believe she was kept from contacting her grand-kids.
“Don’t let them pls,” reads the reply attributed to Janet.
“I have been holding off on backing up my sister and her tweets avidly because I was waiting for the time to reveal my side. As long as I can remember my dad had repeatedly warned me of certain people and their ways,” Prince Michael said in a statement accompanying the image of the text exchange.
“Although I am happy my grandma was returned, after speaking with her I realized how misguided and how badly she was lied to. I'm really angry and hurt,” he said. “This group text message I had started was replied to but they didn't know that I could see the responses. For this whole time, they denied us contact to our grandmother. If you continue with your lies I will continue with the truth.”
This is a mess! We don't know what they saved their grandmother, or even themselves from. I tell the more that is uncovered the more questions I have. This story is getting stranger and stranger... I believe the original report from Paris and Prince was very accurate. I believe Mrs Jackson was held unawares, I believe she was kept from contacting her grand-kids.
Jermaine Jackson reported that she was in Arizona resting under doctors orders. Mrs Jackson reported that she was going to a concert in New Mexico to see her sons perform.
I believe Prince's reply, Katherine was kept from contacting her grand-kids.
The authorities should really investigate this! Who was that doctor? Why did Jermaine say that his mom was under doctors orders? Why was Mrs Jackson even in Arizona? Who were the people around her? Where is her phone? Why has Mrs Jackon changed her story? Where is Mrs Jackson's IPad? Why was she in Tuscan without a phone or TV? To whom did Mrs Jackson inquire about the kids? Who made the reservations for Mrs Jackson's hotel stay? Meanwhile; the intentions of Randy, Jermaine, Jackie, Janet, and Rebbie were quite clear. Why did Janet not want the kids to talk with the mother? Why did Randy claim that his mom had a mini-stroke? Why weren't the kids foretold of Mrs Jackson's vacation, after all she is the legal guardian? What were they planning to do? What about the reports that Mrs Jackson was slurring on the phone?
They intended to get the Executors of the will to resign. You would think that the courts would look into this to be sure this doesn't spell neglect. Where is Diana Ross and why haven't the courts contacted her in this matter? After all she is in the will.
Finally, Where is La Toya?!
PARIS AND PRINCE ARE HEROES IN MY BOOK!
