Jackson Family Feud Continues: Marlon Breaks Down in Tears During TV Interview, Tito Pulls Out of Plot (VIDEO)

The Jackson family drama is just getting started. The feud, which seems to have originated over a plot to overthrow the Jackson estate administrators, has already seen matriarch Katherine Jackson reported missing by some members of the family and caused police to intervene after an altercation that involved Janet Jackson and Paris Jackson.

In a new interview with "The Insider," Michael's brothers Marlon, Tito and Jackie reveal they have been denied communication with their mother Katherine, who according to authorities, is resting on doctors orders at daughter Rebbie's home in Arizona. "We've been told that our mother is safe. She's doing well. But we have not spoken with her," Marlon said.

"We have not talked with her and I don't know where my mother is." Marlon then broke down in tears on camera and began to raise his voice in frustration, "All I know is she is in Arizona, and whatever doctor is saying I can't talk to my mother, you call me!" Marlon then apologized as he stormed off the set.

In another clip from the TV interview, when asked who was behind the confusing and divisive plot, Marlon replied, "I'm not going to go into all that ... All I know is that there is somebody who made the decision that my mother cannot talk to me and whoever that person is they're going to answer to me because I'm going to see my mother and I'm going to bring her home."

In addition to appearing in the emotional "Insider" interview with Marlon and Jackie, Tito has released his own statement, speaking out against the plot to overthrow Jackson estate administrators and revoking his signature from a scathing five-page letter that accused them of presenting a fraudulent will on behalf of their late brother Michael.

"I completely retract my signature from the July 17th letter sent to the executors of my brother Michael's estate and repudiate all the claims made against them," Tito announced in a statement to TMZ. "I don't want any part of that letter whatsoever." The letter was also signed by Jermaine, Janet, Rebbie and Randy Jackson. LaToya Jackson seems to be the only sibling who has thus far remained neutral in the feud.

Meanwhile, TMZ reports Tito's 34-year-old son TJ is preparing to go to court in the hopes that he will become the temporary guardian of Michael's three kids, Prince, Paris and Blanket, amid the drama.

Who is raising Michaels's children? Who did Michael want to raise his children in the event of his death? If his mother is ill (at 84 I can not imagine having to raise three children. Sick or not sick) Who really cares about his children? Who would raise them if there was no money? That's where the money should go. To whoever is raising the kids. It may not be family. I wouldn't want my family to have custody of my child if anything were to happen to me. I would also not want them to profit from my death. Love is not always (unfortunately) what blood relatives give.

Headlock, cut lip, smashed nose, bruised ego, missing family matriarch and cancelled trips to the plastic surgeon. This is the made for tv good stuff we all dream about.

Oh dear if only Diana Ross could find the courage to step up and become everyone's favorite surrogate nanny and dole giver....Don't you wish you all could have $500 million to squabble over too?

What a shame!! Iin my humble opinion Michaels brothers rode his coat tails for every nickel they could when he was alive and now they want to hound Ms.Jackson? I feel despite the crocodile tears the majority of the Jackson Families motives are less than honorable. Is LaToya the only member of the family who has saved her money, lived within her means, or achieved enough wealth from her own work that she feels no need to get into the middle of this catfight? If that is the case, KUDOS to LaToya. Shame on the rest, i doubt very seriously that any of the Jacksons are hurting for money, I guess the questions they have failed to ask themselves is, How Much Is Enough & what honest claim do I have to any of Michael Jacksons Money?

It's a shame, what happens over someone's else's money!!!. The siblings are looking for a way to continue to live in the lifestyle that they had become accustomed to back in the DAY, a long time ago, and they want to do it off of Michael's sweat and blood and that should never happen. Michael stayed away from them before and they are only trying to push their 84 year old mother who should be lying back and enjoying her grandchildren . If there is one among them who should be sole executor, well I don't see not one of them who should raise them and handle their money!!!!

Normally I would tend to agree with the Jackson's being a very dysfunctional family, but something tells me there is more to this story and they do not want to publicize it. When you have a parent that is getting up in age, your first concern is senility, alzheimers and dementia. I have a feeling Mrs. Jackson may be showing the signs of one of these and because she is in charge of mj's estate, the lawyers maybe trying to get her to sign everything over to them. There are so many cases of people being taken advantage of because of their age and state of mind regardless of how much money is involved. I speak from experience, just lost my mother a week ago and know all to well how the elderly can be manipulated. I believe they are trying to protect their mother from being misled as well as protect their brothers estate. Do you know how many scumbag lawyers would love to manipulate this situation to get their hands on all that money. As far as I'm concerned, better his family get it then outsiders.

Best comment all day. The family should get his etstate instead of outsiders. It's crazy how people would think that for the family this is all about money. Yes money is a factor because money is involved and it should be the Jacksons responsibility to handle the affairs of Michaels estate. I'm sure a lot of these folks if this was they're family in this situation would probably change their tune. Katherine is up in age so preparations need to be made concerning the care of the children as well. The love of money is the root of all evil and there are soooooooooo many vultures waiting for some opportunity to take advantage of any weak situation in the Jackson family even if it includes misleading or misguiding Micheals children. Children don't know or understand the games that are played when it comes to money. I commend the Jackson family because inspite all the scrutiny they get together and do what's got to be done. May God be with the Jacksons during this difficult time.

The kids are victims of a 100% dysfunctional family, who is nothing but trouble. It would have been beter for the court to have placed each of the kids in an anonymous adoptive home, early on and had an independent trustee handle whatever money they had coming. As it is, can anyone expect the kids not to fall into the Jackson Family mentality and end up dysfunctional themselves?
