Jermaine Jackson Blames Rape Accusation for Tanking Son’s Big Break

Jermaine Jackson is pointing fingers — and he’s claiming a rape accusation against him torpedoed his son Jafaar’s shot at stardom. According to legal docs obtained by TMZ, Jermaine says the allegations didn’t just wreck his own rep. They tanked the promotional momentum for Jafaar’s role in the \”Michael\” biopic, his son’s major Hollywood debut.

In the court filing, Jermaine claims he had no idea the woman would come forward with her allegations, and that the timing absolutely crushed Jafaar’s career opportunity. He’s essentially saying his legal mess became his kid’s problem — one that cost him serious exposure and opportunity in the industry.

Talk about collateral damage. Whether this argument holds weight with the court is another story, but Jermaine’s clearly desperate to separate his own legal troubles from his son’s professional moment.
