Janet Jackson Has A Secret Teenage Daughter?

It takes a lot for Janet Jackson to outshine her brother Michael. She doesn’t sell as many records as him, isn’t as instantly recognisable as him, and even her blatant publicity stunts - like flapping her norks about during the Super Bowl - are overshadowed by things like Michael’s child molestation court cases.

But it finally looks like she has found the thing that will - briefly, at least - make her more famous than her brother. For it’s been revealed that Janet Jackson probably has a secret teenage daughter.

In the mid 1980s, Janet Jackson (CDs) was briefly married to James DeBarge.
Although they only stayed together for a year, they apparently produced a baby during that time.
The secret came to light recently when DeBarge’s brother Young DeBarge was interviewed on
New York radio station Hot 97. He said that the child - named Renee -
is now 18 years old and lives with Janet’s oldest sister Rebbie. He
said:

"James and the Jackson family kept everything real close, real
tight. No one really knew how it was working out until things kind of
surfaced. I think there’s a little despondence. She hasn’t really
revealed that, but I’m sure that there’s some
feelings there. It’s only natural that you wonder about what is and how
it’s come to be that way."

Rumours about Janet Jackson’s secret
daughter are not a new thing. There have long been whispers that
Janet’s record label urged her to keep her pregnancy and child a secret
to maintain record sales. But Jackson family attorney Brian Oxman, speaking to E! Online,
refutes this notion:

"The answer is no way, no how. From the sisters to the mother, every last one of them said it never happened."

But then, Janet Jackson is a lot more secretive about her family than she is about slapping her jugs about during a sporting event. She didn’t reveal for years that she was married to James DeBarge, and it only became apparent that she had been married to her second husband Rene Elizondo after he filed for divorce. Even now, rumours are circulating that she is secretly married to Jermaine Dupri.

So what do we know about Janet Jackson? Well, she’s been married twice, she might have a secret teenage daughter, she’s probably not as famous as she used to be and she slaps her arse around like a bongo when she sunbathes. What more would you ever need to know?
