HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Michael Jackson went through great lengths to hide his children from the public spotlight, so it’s understandable that his family is furious about them starring in a string of videos posted on YouTube.
The bulk of the videos feature the King of Pop’s 8-year-old son Blanket, who acts out movie scenes, dances, and shares some imaginative tales.
Jackson’s 12-year-old daughter, Paris, also appears in a few clips, one of which she simply says: "Monkey, please help."
"We don’t know who [the hacker] was, but we’re trying to find out," family patriarch Joe Jackson tells AOL’s PopEater, adding the family "doesn’t want the videos on YouTube."
The videos were posted on the KingOfPopKids YouTube channel. When reached by PopEater, the owner of the account explained that Jackson "fans" were responsible for the videos surfacing.
"Some ‘fans’ got into one family member account (Facebook and Photobucket) and posted them on the Web," the unidentified owner said via e-mail, adding they’ll remove the videos if the Jackson family asks them to. "I have been told the account was public and then made private."
