Celebrity's Relative

The Resume

    (July 16, 1968- )
    Birth name was Janet Ventura
    Mother of the accuser in the Michael Jackson molestation trial (2005)

Why she might be annoying:

    She let her kids spend the night with an accused child molestor.
    She encouraged her children to call Jackson 'Daddy.'
    She contacted the lawyer who got Jackson's 1993 accuser a $20 million settlement before going to the police.
    She claimed she and her family were held against their will at the Neverland Ranch, but during their alleged captivity they went out to Toys R Us, the movies, a beauty parlor and a dentist's office.
    Her ex-husband said, 'My children are routinely rehearsed by their mother Janet to do or say whatever she wishes.'
    She was a horrible witness on the stand.
    Her rambling, confusing responses to questions resulted in the prosecution objecting to her answers even though she was their witness.
    She ticked off jurors by snapping her fingers and staring at them.
    She started a scuffle with security guards when the family was caught shoplifting at J.C. Penney (1998).
    She was convicted of welfare fraud (2006).
    Ironically, after her remarriage, her name became Janet Jackson.

Why she might not be annoying:

    Her son had to have his spleen and a kidney removed because of cancer (2000).
    Her first husband pled no contest to charges of abusing her (2002).
    She gave the court a good laugh when she claimed that Jackson wanted to kidnap her and her kids using a hot air balloon.
