Oh really? Auntie Janet, is not here for TMZ and their journalistic games at all.

Word on the internet steez is that Ms. Janet “Ms. Jackson if you’re nasty” Jackson has gotten her lawyers together and has threatened to slap [pun intended] TMZ with a huge lawsuit over the story they posted about Janet Jackson slapping her niece Paris Jackson.  According to Necole Bitchie, TMZ was the original source of the Janet vs Paris story and as a result went viral with every blog, website and media outlet jumping in to weigh their opinions on what happened.  The story even brought out Gladys Knight who openly admitted during a recent interview that had it been her, young Paris would be gumming her chicken for the rest of her life.

Necole Bitchie also reports that TMZ posted a statement retracting their original story and informing the public that Janet Jackson did not slap her 14 year old niece and that she did not call Paris a “spoiled little b*tch”

The statement via TMZ:

Janet Jackson did not slap or verbally abuse Paris Jackson during a confrontation at the Jackson family home in Calabasas last week.

TMZ published a story last week based on sources who told us Janet went off on Michael Jackson’s daughter after the singer tried to grab Paris’ cell phone. We also reported Janet called Paris a “spoiled little bitch.”

Although we believed the story to be true when we published it, we have now determined it was not correct … Janet did not slap or otherwise touch Paris, nor did she verbally abuse her.

This is all just a ridiculous mess.

What do you think?

Do you think Janet really did slap Paris and is now trying to clean up the nasty mess or was this all a result of messy journalism?
