Talk: Debbie Rowe

Being The mother of 2 of his kids, I believe she deserves her own page. sadly i do not have the ability to do more than start it

I think there is a surprise in store over this story - was she really the biological mother???? Did she actually have a 9 month pregnancy? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.77.40.199 (talk) 21:25, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a forum, and unless there are credible, reliable sources then disputed information regarding her pregnancy should not be added. Gage (talk) 11:06, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality

We don't say where she was from. I knew they married in Sydney, but I'd always assumed she was an American. In some recent reports she was described as an Australian, which I'd never heard before. I also heard her interviewed, and her accent is indeterminate, to my ears. She could be an Australian with American influences in her accent, or she could be an American from birth. Hard to tell. Do we know her origin? -- JackofOz (talk) 22:47, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

According to this article she was born in Spokane, Washington. WWGB (talk) 02:02, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. -- JackofOz (talk) 02:07, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

She is american, origin Australian by mother Barbara. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mephisto31 (talk • contribs) 02:45, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

webofdeception.com?

Surely there's a better source for her personal info than a site called "webofdeception.com"? Trivialist (talk) 05:52, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. I've removed it, though that leaves the date of birth without a source. We should find a good one, or remove it fairly soon. SlimVirgin ^{talk|contribs} 08:04, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Debbie Rowe is of Jewish heritage. She was married to Michael Jackson and claims that they lived separate lives while married. Interesting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.228.95.232 (talk) 21:56, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fake interview

This section was removed from the wiki article. I'm posting it in here instead then, so people don't use pieces from the fake article as a source in the future, since it's still quoted in other news media. Bib (talk) 10:18, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Several news media published pieces of a supposedly exclusive interview, which appeared in the British tabloid newspaper News of the World in June 2009.^[1]^[2] One of her answers was supposedly "Just like I stick the sperm up my horse, this is what they did to me. I was his thoroughbred."^[3] Rowe's attorney told Radar Online exclusively, that the interview did not occur, and that it was a complete fabrication. The interview has since been removed from News of the World's website.^[4]^[5]

Although I don't think Rowe has commented on it herself, this report from 2008 also should not be used, as it contains blatantly sensational claims and likely never happened. WillOakland (talk) 23:10, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

While I'm unsure about the validity of the interview itself, the story about Michael hastily taking his child with the placenta still attached was something Michael himself said in Living With Michael Jackson. Vin Von Voom (talk) 19:01, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Jackson later claimed that he was in such a rush to leave the hospital with daughter Paris in 1998 that he cut the cord and left with the baby covered in blood, taking the placenta with him in his haste.… Incredibly, it is not the memory of the bloodied newborn being torn from her arms which moves Rowe to tears now - but the sudden admission that she couldn't bear Jackson any more children.

did they have sex?

There is so many contradictory news out there on Michael Jackson and everyone is trying to cash in. But is there any general evidence (I don't mean videos but any statements) that Jackson and Debbie had sex. She claimed (at loeast acording to one media outlet, probably more) that they lived separately and never had sex, and that the sperm was from another man. Is any of this true? If it is can anybody explain the rational of this? Why why why would they use somebody elses sperm I have never ever heard of such a situation occurring in my 50 years of life. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.32.31.254 (talk) 01:34, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That interview was made up. She always said Jackson was the biological father. No idea about the sex.91.130.24.13 (talk) 20:34, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Another deluded mj fan... Michael Jackson IS NOT the biological father of those children. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.22.166.8 (talk) 14:11, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Anybody know? It seems wikipedia is a poor place to find out information and add to wiki pages. Im amazed people find out info to contribute to wiki pages somehow. They must work for media outlets or be professors (in scientific and academic issues) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.32.31.254 (talk) 19:31, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is a repository of information amalgamated from other sources - we are not investigative journalists or a gossip magazine. So if you can't find it anywhere, how would we? Fritzpoll (talk) 19:34, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tabloids, gossip and BLP

I've removed a couple of times a swathe of material sourced to tabloids in contravention of WP:BLPSOURCES. We also have WP:DAILYMAIL to protect us from this particular source. Could anyone wishing to restore this material please discuss it here and attain consensus before restoring it? Thanks. --MarchOrDie (talk) 15:37, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Her birth date is currently sourced to a book published by PublishAmerica, which looks like a vanity press. Hardly the stuff of what passes muster per WP:BLP. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 11:01, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
