It’s been a rough week for Janet Jackson. And it’s starting to become clear that her MAGA brother Randy Jackson is to blame.
First, the pop star took heat for falsely saying that Vice President Kamala Harris is “not Black” in an interview with The Guardian. The comment, which parroted claims made by former President Donald Trump, went viral on social media—prompting outcry and mockery.
Soon after, a man claiming to be her manager publicly apologized on her behalf, only for Jackson’s camp to state that the apology didn’t come from Jackson, as the man wasn’t actually her manager. (The man, Mo Elmasri, told the Daily Beast that he had worked for Jackson but was fired for his actions after the Guardian debacle.)
Now, in the latest twist to the bizarre PR nightmare, Page Six has reported that unnamed sources close to Janet are blaming the saga on her brother Randy, who Variety reported has long been her manager. The sources say that he is too inexperienced to handle her affairs and exerts too great a control over her life.
“[Randy’s] sabotaging her legacy because he’s not savvy,” one source reportedly said. “She’s giving Randy control, and no one understands how he’s managing her, when he’s never had a career. She pays for everything.”
