In addition to being the mother of famous world-renowned entertainer, Katherine Jackson was Michael's staunchest ally alongside close friends Dame Elizabeth Taylor and former child star, Macaulay Culkin. In view of the recent events of Mrs. Jackson having to share guardianship of Michael's three children with her grandson, I believe jealousy played a part in the dissension of Mrs. Jackson and the surviving members of the Jackson family.
After all, alongside older brother, Jackie, acting as talent scout and Katherine, they pulled some strings to get their father, Joe, to hear Michael sing landing him a spot in the vocal group, the Jackson 5 back in 1964. Katherine has supported Michael all through his career and welcomed former wives Lisa Marie Presley and former nurse, Debbie Rowe, into the family. It was Michael who took care of her up until he passed on in 2009, as well, as including her and his three children in his will back in 2002, which caused dissension among his father and his siblings.
As a devout Jehovah's Witness since 1965, it was Katherine, who got Michael to marry his then-pregnant girlfriend, Debbie Rowe, back in 1996 because unlike his father, didn't him have children out of wedlock, which resulted in the birth of his estranged half-sister, Joh'Vonnie back in 1974. When Michael was accused twice of sexual misconduct towards a minor she was at his side the whole time telling him everything was going to be all right. Since Michael trusted her a great deal, he appointed guardianship alongside good friend, Diana Ross if Katherine was no longer able to look after his children.
Although everyone else supported Michael, it was Katherine who had his back from jumpstreet. To this day, I she still grieves for Michael and despite his shortcomings, he was still her son regardless what the media says about him.

As TMZ first reported, Jackson's declaration following the Arizona spa ordeal -- which came as part of her bid to obtain co-guardianship over Prince, Paris, and Blanket -- seemed to suggest she was tricked into going and had no idea MJ's kids were worried about her. As part of the declaration, Jackson said, "At the time, I trusted the people I was with to be honest with me."
But Katherine's attorney, Perry Sanders, tells TMZ she has "absolutely" no plans to press charges over the incident, telling us, "This chapter of chaos is closed and we are supportive of family unity in spite of recent events and arguably poor decisions."

Why the finger tapes??
Michael Beardon (Musical Director of This Is It) has to answer:
"I asked him one day" MJ why you have this tape in your hands? "I always wanted to know, and I could ask him personally afterwards. If you can ask someone like Michael need something, what would you ask him?
And so great was Michael, he has replied to me.
"You want to really know you?" The tape around his fingers, he said, well, that feels good. And you see it, the white tape, your eyes follow him automatically. This is one of the show-biz things he learned when he was a child.
