Michael Jackson’s extended family to star in new reality show on Reelz.
The Jacksons are making their way back to reality television. No, not those Jacksons, but the part of the family who you rarely hear about — the extended family.
Members of the infamous Jackson family are stepping out of what they call the “Jackson bubble” for an inside look into their lives on a new reality show. The series focuses on Alejandra Jackson and her five children. Who is she might you ask?
Alejandra is the former girlfriend of Randy Jackson, and the two have a daughter and a son together. But Randy wasn’t enough Jackson for Alejandra and she went back to the family for a second helping.
Randy Jackson Jr. is the son of Randy and Alejandra Jackson.
Alejandra’s household is a messy one because her five children are not only siblings — but also cousins! Alejandra had two children with Randy, Genevieve and Randy Jr.
Genevieve Jackson is the daughter of Randy and Alejandra Jackson.
Jermajesty Jackson is the son of Jermaine and Alejandra Jackson.
She, then, married Randy’s older brother Jermaine Jackson, having sons Jaafar and Jermajesty. Donte was adopted by Joe and Katherine Jackson, but Alejandra has been raising him since he was a toddler. But he’s still technically uncle to his “siblings.”
I don’t know about you, but I sure hope all of this is discussed on the show.
Jaafar Jackson is the son of Jermaine and Alejandra Jackson.
Donte Jackson was adopted by Joe and Katherine Jackson, but was raised by Alejandra Jackson.
After Michael’s death five years ago, the family left the Jackson family compound known as Hayvenhurst, in Encino, California, insinuating they were kicked out. The entire drama played out on TMZ, along with child support drama with baby daddy No. 2, Jermaine. Alejandra’s daughter Genevieve reveals they didn’t want things to happen the way they did when they had to move out. Her brother Donte says it was all about politics. At the same time, Genevieve said the family lived under constraints at the Encino house. She reveals they led a very sheltered life inside the compound.
Extended Jackson family to star in new reality show in the fall.
The Jacksons, try as they might, attempt to lead private lives, but why step into the fire of a reality show where all of social media can judge? “People already had a preconceived judgment of us and we weren’t speaking,” Randy Jr. said. “Now we feel comfortable enough to show how we really are.”
The six episode show airing on Reelz will debut November 18.
