Michael Jackson’s older brother Tito Jackson tells British tabloid The Mirror that despite reports that the late superstar did not father his three children, he believes Prince Michael, Paris, and Prince Michael II (Blanket) are biologically Jackson’s.

“They are all Michael’s children,” he says. “Prince looks just like my grandfather. There’s no question they are Michael’s. They are 100% his. The kids are like three peas in a pod. They remind me of me and my brothers when we were growing up.”

“They are all his children,” Tito explains. “Just because they are white doesn’t mean they are not his. Blanket is Michael’s, I can tell. Those eyes don’t lie. Them eyes are Michael over again. I see a lot of Michael in him.”

The 54-year-old former Jackson 5 guitarist also spoke at length about the devastating child sex abuse allegations that he believes ruined his brother’s life.

The molestation reports first surfaced in the early 90s when then 13-year-old Jordan Chandler claimed Jackson sexually assaulted him.

Rather than face a potentially embarrassing court case, Michael paid off the family of his young accuser.

“He was advised just to give them what they want and get rid of them. I believe it was Johnny Cochran, OJ Simpson’s lawyer, who told him to do that.”

It was the biggest mistake of his life, Tito says.

“I wished Michael never did it, but when you are in this business sometimes you don’t think for yourself. You have advisers and lawyers – all these people thinking for you and telling you why you should do this and that. They felt at the time the easiest thing for him to do was to give them money and make them go away – don’t drag yourself through a case.”

“I felt he should have fought it, but Michael is a private person and he did not want the media in his life and all these other things he would have probably had to go through.”
