Last week we learned from Jermaine Jackson that it is very possible that Michael Jackson fathered a lovechild in the 80′s and that boy, Omer Bhatti, was welcomed into the Jackson family. The young man is so close with the Jacksons that he sat with them in the front row of MJ‘s memorial service at the Staples Center on July 7. While Jermaine claims that is is possible that Omer is MJ‘s firstborn child, he insisted that he did not know for sure if he really was MJ‘s son. In a new interview with MJ‘s father Joseph Jackson, TV One managed to get a straight answer on the paternity of Omer Bhatti. According to Joe Jackson, MJ was his father:
In the wake of Jermaine‘s comments last week, Omer Bhatti went on the record to DENY that MJ was his father but in this new interview with TV One, Joe Jackson makes no qualms about revealing that MJ did father Omer Bhatti. After the jump, check out short video of Joe making his comments to TV One …
On the one hand, you’d think that Michael‘s father would be among the select few people to know if he really did secretly father a child 25 years ago …
… on the other hand, should we really believe a word that Joseph says? Since he was cut out of MJ‘s life both before he died and after (Joseph was NOT included in MJ‘s will), he’s been giving interviews left and right in, what seems to be, an attempt for fame and publicity. We may never know for sure if MJ really did father Omer Bhatti … but, to be completely honest, I can believe that he did.

…and I bet he has already inked a deal to be his “manager”!
this is insane. why doesn’t this omar guy just do a DNA test and settle the issue and make joe shut up? hell there are tons of people out here that dance like michael so they’re his kids too? someone silence joe for real and just do the stupid test so we can resolve this issue for everyone’s sake. I think maury is open for another DNA show. (and I’m not sick of the issue, I’m just sick of joe jackson’s mouth opening and spewing out crap every time we turn around)
I smell a money making oppertunity for Joe. Omer can dance…. I wouldn’t be shocked at all if we saw Omers first CD coming out soon with Joe as the manager.
What a sleeze ball. Ugh.
He looks nothing like Michael. Here’s Omar with his real dad:

And Joe needs to shut his mouth already, jc.
@Sue – Wow, great pic find!
Omer already took a DNA test and it is 99.9% certain that MJ is NOT his father.
@ katie: doesn’t he have something coming out already?? but yeah I wouldn’t doubt it if he does have joe backing him on any endeavor down the road.
oh did anyone see Joe jackson at a beyonce concert recently? GOD that man is so creepy.
Why don’t they just do a dna test and get it over with??
Regardless of what Joe Jackson says, because he’s obviously looking for money/press, I actually do think he’s his son. Does anyone else see the resemblance??? Because I really really do.
Am I the only one that thinks Joe Jackson is senile??
@Harper-he resembles MJ with his tons of plastic surgery face. He does not resemble MJ as MJ before plastic surgery.
@lilredhairedgirl I totally agree! I keep hearing how much this kid looks like Michael…and yeah he does after he butchered his face. He looks nothing like Michaels natural appearance when he was a kid. I don’t believe MJ is the father. I think Joe is a dirty sleazebag who wants nothing but attention and money.
I can see it a little in the eyes, but he also looks like the man who’s supposed to be his natural father.
I don’t believe a word coming out of Joe Jackson’s mouth. He could tell me it’s raining outside in the middle of storm season, and I’d have to go look for myself to believe it.
I thought Omer already said that MJ is NOT his father. *shrug*
agree with squishy – Joe is most certainly a dirty moneygrubing sleaze.
yeah really Joe’s words carry no weight.
JOE JACKSON IS A CREEP… i wouldn’t believe anything that comes out his mouth… what a douche.
I don’t how Joe Jackson will get into heaven….
I don’t believe anything Joe Jackson says.
Not believing what Joe is saying either..Given how much MJ is proud of his kids, i dont think he would secretly father a child and keep it under wraps. If Omer was really MJ’s son, how is it that MJ left Omer out of his will too?!
I think he may possibly be Micahel Jacksons son..You say he does not look like him until after Mj had all that surgery,but if you look at how Micahel Jackson looked in his Thriller Video…Omer looks identical to him.Smile and everything..CHeck it out.
