I tried hard to see a likeness between the pre-surgery Michael Jackson and Omer Bhatti. I realize genetics are such, children can resemble any parent, but I just don’t see any likeness between Omer Bhatti and Michael Jackson, even when I squint. He did, though, have a facial resemblance to a lot of young children close to Mr. Jackson. When I finally found photos of Riz Bhatti and compared Omer with Riz, as well as Pia, I did see the likeness there. Unless I see the DNA test results, I’m guessing a hip-hop artist with a promising career who was awfully close to Michael Jackson as a youth stands to gain quite a bit from this.

He does, though, bear a close resemblance to Blanket. Just to stir the post a litte more, is Omer Bhatti, perhaps, the sperm donor for Blanket? I personally don’t care who sired those children because as far as I’m concerned, the person who raises a child is the “real” parent. Nor do I actually regard it as anyone’s business. Yet, with all of this flurry about who parented whom, including Mr. Bhatti, I can’t help but be curious to know if that option has been considered.

Shannon and OmerISMJSon, I’m definitely curious to know what stake you have in this, as to be so adamant Omer is the offspring of Mr. Jackson. I do recall the will stating the latter only had three children, living or deceased, and Mr. Bhatti was not named. Did I miss something there?

Let me start by saying I am not some crazy MJ fan. I actually hate tabloids but for some reason this story captured my attention. God knows why. I am a Christian and believe we all make mistakes and sin everyday including MJ. No one has convinced me either way; Omer may or may not be. People are passionate on both sides but I am not.

Omer does look like a 20 year old MJ, young Omer did look similar to Blanket and Omer looks like he could be related to 5 of MJ’s nephews from 3 different brothers. Proves nothing! Your newspapers say experts say it is impossible for MJ to be Omer’s father. Once again they proved nothing!
You believe your papers and I am inclined to believe mine. Was Omer here or was he there. Omer and Katherine know the truth.
I don’t know any of the parties involved personally. Maybe you do but I don’t claim inside knowledge. You siad Omer doesn’t have a reason to lie about the “official” story of how he met MJ. Pete Rose denied he gambled on baseball for years. Diana Ross’s daughter didn’t know Berry Gordy was her father for years. Last year Omer told one of your papers he and MJ kept in touch. In touch? Dude was in Bahrain with Mike. I also read he was in New Jersey recording an albumn. I’m sure he visited Mike in Vegas and LA. He has a close relationship with the kids because they get to see him and talk to him often. This is not to say Omer is lying, just sayin.
Many don’t trust Joe but why would he lie and lose the little credibility he has left. Who knows! I can also say the same thing about Stacy Brown, Rebbie’s friend and Rebbie’s son Austin. What reason do they have to go against the “official” stroy? I find it interesting that MJ and Omer would “meet” in Oct of ’96 and Omer is in MJ’s Esonic commercial the next month in LA; yet they say he didn’t move to LA until ’97. It’s also intersting that the other kid in the commercial thought Omer was MJ’s nephew but that’s neither here nor there.
The people who know the truth are MJ and Omer’s mom. I think her and Riz’s cryptic responses helped fuel the fire. Even the statement on his website. When he wrote don’t believe everything you read was it about the original son rumor, the claim he denied MJ was his dad and he was in hiding in Norway ehen he was still in LA. Or was it regarding rumors about MJ in general. He knows but we don’t and that’s a problem. It would have been much simplier to say: “MJ was my best friend and he treated me like his son but he is not my father”. The End. Instead his agent refuses to comment. Out of no where videos made by the Bhatti’s are “found” on which Omer calls Mike dad! Riz is heard saying family photo when Omer and Mike are taking a picture. Other pictures of Omer and Mike come out. Where are they coming from? Did the Bhatti’s house get robbed? The lawyers for the estate say no comment or imply that they can’t legally comment; like there is some sort of gag order. This can easily be solved by an original birth certificate and marriage licence etc.
I don’t know what you mean when you stated you think there was more to MJ and Omer’s relationship. If you are implying pedophilia, I totally disagree and I find your comments very disheartening. I am tired of those accusations and I pay no attention to those who make it. Leave Mike alone! If you meant something else, my apologies.
Lastly, I hear Omer wants to release a hip hop albumn. If he releases it in Norway then he will be fine because you guys don’t believe the rumor. If he releases it in the USA the “mecca” of hip hop, he will have to address the paternity issue.
At this point, I think it’s none of our buisness and I am exiting from this conversation. There is no need for you to respond unless your anal and need to have the last word. I have no plans to return to this site or any site about this matter. Once I hit submit this issue is dead to me. Good luck with your website!
God bless the Jackson family during this terrible time. That includes Omer because they consider him family, biological or not.
