Who is Michael Jackson’s mum, Katherine – and why is her grandson Blanket taking her to court? She married Joe Jackson in 1949 and has been embroiled in legal disputes since the King of Pop’s death

- Earlier this week, Bigi ‘Blanket’ Jackson filed documents requesting a court to block Katherine Jackson’s use of his dad’s estate money in an ongoing legal battle the two were involved in
- So who is the 93-year-old Jackson family matriarch who had 10 children with the late Joe Jackson, and who will be played by actress Nia Long in the upcoming MJ biopic?
Michael Jackson’s youngest son Bigi, aka Blanket Jackson, is taking his grandmother to court, according to a new report published by TMZ.

According to the outlet, Bigi, 22, filed court documents this week requesting the court block Katherine’s use of MJ’s estate money in an ongoing legal battle the pair had been involved in.
The grandma and grandson duo were working on the same side to prevent the executors of the King of Pop’s estate from proceeding with a transaction they didn’t agree with.
Per TMZ, the court ruled against the Jacksons in the case, and Bigi reportedly believes it’s not worth spending more money to appeal the decision.

His position makes sense if seen in the context of the fact that his late father’s estate is also his inheritance – and according to TMZ, the youngster seems to think the pair are unlikely to win.
So, who is Bigi’s now 93-year-old grandmother, and what has she been up to lately?
Katherine Jackson is the matriarch of the Jackson family
