Comedians opening for Janet Jackson are forbidden from making any jokes about The Jackson Family.
Janet Jackson’s performance contract stipulates that, if she’s appearing on a bill with a comedian, the comic will be barred from making any reference to the singer or members of “the Jackson family.”Jacked from The Smoking Gun
The outlawing of jokes about the Jacksons (read: Michael’s relationship with boys; propofol; rhinoplasty; Janet’s weight; wardrobe malfunctions; Blanket; and Jermajesty) is one of several “special provisions” in the chart-topping singer’s performance contract, a copy of which was obtained by TSG.
Noting that “the privacy of Janet Jackson and her family…is highly valued,” the contract advises promoters that all details about the star and her relatives “shall be deemed to be confidential and secret.” The document refers to the Jacksons as “Protected Persons.”
This confidential information, Jackson notes, includes information about her compensation. The 45-year-old singer, in the midst of a world tour that brings her to Australia next week, was paid a minimum guarantee of $475,000 for a recent U.S. show, according to contract records.
That figure could increase based on box office receipts, of which Jackson earns a large share beyond a stipulated gross. Additionally, promoters are required to reimburse Jackson $25,000 for “sound & lights,” which she supplies for gigs

Shut your bitter ass up. Say what you want about the adults but leave the kids alone you haggard oger. I'm open for whatever but I fucking hate seeing grown adults going at children. Whether they were test tubed, adopted, bought in an alley they are jacksons. You sound pissed like you wished they'd adopt your overgrown ass.
I know you Nubian you do you and puck 3:07.
Makes sense to me. Why whould she want someone to talk negatively about her family right before her concerts? It's crazy that would have to be put in writing, because common sense it's kind of like biting the hand that feeds you. Besides, she grew up with those jokes. She's now 45. I'm sure she's sick and damn tired of them.
@3:07, Step back. Nothing and no one is above criticism on gossip boards, including children, and especially children who are constantly put in front of the press. They are fake ass kids -- just like the rest of the Jacksons. There's nothing real about that family.

You guys get pretty sensitive behind them white kids. They are getting at the age now, where its time for them to stop pretending that MJ is their biological father. The oldest boy is damn near 17, does he know the difference between black & white people?
These people just live in a fantasy world & they want the public to play along with this peter pan bullshit.
^^^ Peter Pan? More like the Addams Family.
@6:07
I won't and you can be the angry bitter bitch harping on children.
@7:04
What does it concern you what these kids want to consider themselves as? What do you get out of it? Were you the holder of the test tube or did you fill out the birth certificate? I don't get it. Some of you are sick in the head.

They are not Jacksons, their a product of Michael Jacksons extreme selfhate. He couldn't stomach having a black or mulatto child. The 2 oldest are almost 18, why you talking like they are 5 or something?
Play some good music & ask em to find the beat. It will be next to impossible for one of them to accomplish that goal. Jacksons NOT!!!
@6:07 AM ... Call me all the bitches you want to and those kids still FAKE ASS KIDS created to make Michael feel like anything but a Black man.
That is so ignorant to talk about children. Who cares whether they are black, or white. His kids are taking care of, and that's all that matters.
^^They should try & bond with their natural parents. Life is too short to live in dreamworld, pretending you are not racist. Those kids probably think the Jackson family are a bunch on niggers. White people can'Thelp themselves. Their born racist.
If and I am saying IF they arent MJ's kids why should they try to bond with their natural parents? Evidenlty they didnt want them and gave them up for adoption. I dont go where I am not wanted. And IF they were adopted and raised my the Jackson then they are a Jackson. Just because someone is not your biological doesnt mean they are not your parent or family. Your parent and family are the ones that care for you, support you, raise you, love you, and are there for you no matter what.
They should find their natural parents. They have a long life ahead of them, they need family. They are almost grown & will be living on their own soon. They should find people they have something in common with, like white people. They don't fit in a black family. It looks STUPID for them to act like they belong in that family. Especially the two oldest ones, they so goofy looking.
