Jackson vs. Jackson: A Timeline

A guide to America's most famous family feud.

Masked Marauders - While the masks Paris and her brothers were required to wear as kids seemed another instance of Michael Jackson's bizarre behavior, Paris insists they were for their own good. "He didn’t want anyone to see what we looked like," she explained recently. "That way we could have what he didn’t, which was a normal childhood."  (Photo: WENN.com)
The Leaked Letter - Sometime in June, several of the Jackson siblings penned and signed a letter accusing Branca and McClain, executors of Michael's will, of fraud and of imposing emotional stress on their mother Katherine, who they claimed had a "mini-stroke" resulting from their malice. The letter, which was leaked to the internet in early July, indicated the Jackson siblings, led by Randy, intended to fight Michael's will, which left everything to his three children and nothing for them.  (Photo: Kevin Mazur/MJ Memorial via Getty Images)

"I'd like to know who made up the rumor," she said, though it seemed she already knew the answer. "I will defend my beloved family member with all I have, even if it means from other family members.” This was just the first shot fired in the Twitter war to come.

Where It All Began... - The Jackson family drama has been the subject of dozens of headlines over the past two weeks, and we put together this handy timeline to help keep track of the details. Before the police reports, talk show call-ins and passive-aggressive Twitter rants, the drama started when Michael Jackson's estate, under the execution of John Branca and John McClain, suddenly began turning a profit. By early 2012, three years after MJ's death, his once-bankrupt estate was valued at $1 billion. Can you see where this is heading? (Photo: WENN.com/Apega/Agent47)
