Janet Jackson says she is not a mother.
In a terse statement released Wednesday, the 39-year-old singer denied a former brother-in-law’s claim that she has a “secret” 18-year-old daughter.
“I do not have a child and all allegations saying so are false,” Jackson said in a statement released to the syndicated “Access Hollywood” TV show.
On Friday, Young DeBarge, the brother of Jackson’s former husband, James DeBarge, said Jackson and his brother had a child named Renee who was living with Rebbie Jackson, Janet’s oldest sister.
