Four million dollars will be paid to Debbie Rowe so that she won’t seek custody of Michael Jackson’s kids.

This according to a story in The New York Post, which quoted a source that said Katherine Jackson, Michael’s mom, will pay $4 million to Rowe so that she won’t battle for custody of Prince, Paris and Blanket.

(CNN, on the other hand, says this story is completely false.)

“It’s one final payday,” the unnamed source told the newspaper.

Rowe was a dental assistant who married the King of Pop and is the mother of at least two of his children. In Jackson’s final will, he said he wanted his kids to be in the custody of his parents or pop singer Diana Ross. However Rowe, playing the biology card, threatened to seek custody of the children as their rightful mother.

Now, according to the story, by accepting this payment she can not challenge for custody.

This isn’t the first time Rowe has received millions upon millions of dollars to not be the Jackson children’ mom. In the past she has gotten payments of $8 million and $4 million to stay away and this will just add to that total.

“They felt it was like a ransom-type thing. [Rowe] jumped back into the picture because she wanted money,” the source told the Post.

Um, you think?
