Jackson's ex banned from telling kids she's their mother
Michael Jackson's custody settlement with Debbie Rowe - the mother of two of his children - is so strict, she is reportedly forbidden from telling them she is their mother.
Rowe, who gave birth to Prince Michael I, eight, and seven-year-old Paris, gave the Thriller singer a glowing reference as a father at his child molestation trial earlier this year.
But she is still allegedly subject to a one-sided secret agreement she made with Jackson, which gave him sole custody of their children, according to the New York Daily News.
A source tells the newspaper: "Debbie is not supposed to tell the kids she is their mother. That topic is off-limits. But it will be revisited when they are older."
Rowe had reportedly not seen her children for five years before an arranged meeting chaperoned by Jackson's nanny Grace Rwaeamba in a Los Angeles hotel in August reunited them.
The source continues: "(The children) handled it fine, but were a bit bewildered. Grace runs the show. She's the one Debbie will have to deal with."
