LaToya Jackson, who famously called her superstar brother Michael Jackson a “paedophile” in her 1991 book, ‘LaToya: Growing Up in the Jackson Family,’ has signed his three children to her talent agency and is allegedly trying to pitch a reality show to Oprah’s OWN network.
“La Toya Jackson was noticeably quiet when the Jackson family feud erupted in public last summer.But while her siblings battled executors over Michael Jackson’s $2 billion estate, and her niece Paris battled Aunt Janet in the driveway, estranged La Toya, 56, slyly moved in on the heirs to the fortunes,” says The New York Post.
She is also said to have signed up 16-year-old, Prince, to appear in a remake of Beverly Hills 90210 as well as inking a big screen deal for 15-year-old niece, Paris. “Toya’s working it. It’s because [Katherine] can’t say no to her,” one person close to the family said.
The insider also added: “One potential hang up to the OWN deal is Paris’s refusal to do a reality show, but insiders caution not to underestimate Latoya’s power of persuasion. Prince wasn’t exactly eager to do ET, but could you tell? When the money is on the line, Toya is going to cash in. I wouldn’t bet against her.”
