Mark Lester Is Convinced He’s Paris Jackson’s Biological Father
Mark Lester, the godfather of Michael Jackson’s children Paris, 11, Prince, 12 and Blanket, 7, tells News of the World he donated the sperm that likely helped the late King of Pop to have children and wants to take a paternity test to prove he’s the biological father of Paris Jackson and perhaps the other two children. Lester says he’s coming forward because since Jackson’s memorial service, he hasn’t been able to contact the kids that he had spent a lot time before Michael’s death. “This isn’t what Michael would have wanted. I feel I have to come forward, as my only way of saying, ‘Please don’t shut me out!’,” the 51-year-old said.
As for Lester’s motivation, he insists it’s not about money. “I’ll push all the way for contact with her, Prince and Blanket,” he said. “I feel it’s important. I love those kids so much. We’ve had great times together. I don’t know if I’m doing the right thing speaking out. But I’m not trying to make any claim on anything. Even if it’s proven Paris is biologically mine I wouldn’t see her as anything other than Michael’s daughter. He raised her. Michael was a brilliant, brilliant dad. Those kids are Michael’s children. He was their father. End of story. But I just want to make sure they’re happy.”

I think it’s wrong for him to speak out in a time like this, because no matter if he is their real father or not, can you imagine what he’s doing to them, its like everything thing they’ve been told from the beginning is all a lie and I don’t think it’s fear that whats been kept a secret for such along time should be exposed by a friend just because mj has past. However it is better for them to find now than later and maybe it will bring some hope and that father protection feeling to them again but I know it will never be like michaels affection.

Mark Lester was never the sharpest tool in the box. He should keep his mouth shut.

I hope Mark Lester is the biological father! I hope the courts will give him full custody of all three kids. Debbie Rowe made it clear from the beginning that she wanted nothing to do with these children. Mark kept in contact with the children throught out their lives. For the Jackson family to want to keep Mark away now only proves they are in it for the money. Mark can take them and raise them in a normal family setting, giving them the love and attention they need. Give every penny of money Michael has and donate it to charities. Let’s see who stays involved with all three children and for how long when there is no money involved as “THE PRIZE”! Money has not, nor ever will replace the real love and respect of a family. Give them roots….Give them wings….It is not…give them money….give them more money

I think it is best he speaks out. BRAVO!!!! The truth will set the kids heart free. They know who raised them and no one can ever take that away. If anything, protect them from Debbie. MARK, YOU DID THE RIGHT!!!! Keep it real dear sir. The kids deserve the truth.

Can’t trust anyone who’s getting in on this, and the Jackson family is dysfunctional left right and centre (frankly Joe and Katherine give me chills). Let Diana Ross raise the kids – she’s raised 5 great children.

These kids are white. Michael Jackson didn’t want to be black so why would he want black kids to pass off as his own? Obviously these kids are part of the lie and the life of self-loathing that was Michael Jackson.
