2004 vanity Fair Article Confirms Debbie Rowe Was A Surrogate Mom And Blackmailed $10M From Jackson

Debbie Rowe, one of Jackson's two ex-wives, who carried his first two children, got a lot of media attention in the wake of the baby-dangling incident for praising the husband with whom she never lived: "He is a really wonderful, loving, caring man, and he's not portrayed as he really is, and it really pisses me off." Asked if she would have more children with Michael, she replied, "In a heartbeat." That made Myung-Ho and So-Yung Lee laugh. "She really put the fear of God in Michael," says Myung-Ho, who claims Jackson confided in him. "She is the woman who screamed and yelled and threatened to tell the world about Michael's dark secrets unless she got $8 to $10 million." He explains that, "out of the blue" in the summer of 1999, Rowe asked for a divorce and a huge sum of money or else. "Michael said, 'Give her whatever she wants—get it done.'" Lee says that Rowe was a surrogate, not the biological, mother. Her contact with Prince Michael I and Paris was limited to eight times a year, and she purportedly saw them even less frequently. In a May 2000 memo from a lawyer handling the divorce case, after Rowe has asked for more visitations, including Mother's Day and alternate Christmas Eves, the lawyer is prompted to state, "The request for Mother's Day is a concern because Debbie now appears to be viewing herself as a mother. This is different from the image and position that she accepted in the past." Myung-Ho Lee says, "It was so funny watching her in interviews on TV, saying, 'I'll have another baby.' I'm thinking, Yeah, that's another $10 million for you. 'In a heartbeat'!" (Rowe's lawyer declined to comment.)

Those of us who investigated the Jordie Chandler case also remember Norma Staikos, "the duenna of Neverland," a stern caretaker who kept track of all the little boys' visits. She disappeared the night before she was supposed to be questioned by the police, in 1993. Lee, however, got yet another of the many surprises he experienced handling Jackson's business affairs when one day a request came in from Greece, where Staikos was living, for $75,000. Lee wanted to know what it was for and was told, "You don't understand, Lawyer Lee. Norma gets whatever she wants." According to So-Yung Lee, amounts of about $50,000 would be periodically sent to Greece for Staikos. I also learned that Bill Bray, the head of security at Neverland back in 1993, has been receiving $165,000 a year, and Jackson pays the gift tax.
