London
(ANI):
Michael
Jackson's
half-sister
has
revealed
that
the
pop
legend
wasn't
warm
to
her
when
she
met
him
during
a
family
get
together.
JohVonnie
Jackson,
whose
mum
was
a
lover
of
MJ's
dad
Joe,
is
close
to
her
father.
She
claims
that
the
Jacksons
have
shunned
her
for
35
years
but
was
once
invited
to
the
'Thriller'
hitmaker's
Neverland
ranch
in
2003
when
the
clan
got
together.
Also,
JohVonnie
alleges
that
she
wasn't
allowed
to
talk
to
either
the
late
singer
or
her
half-sister
Janet
when
she
attended
their
concerts.
"I
feel
rejected
by
some
of
my
family.
It's
upsetting
and
hurtful," the
Mirror
quoted
her
as
saying.
Referring
to
her
meeting
with
the
late
singer
she
said:
"It
was
a
big
moment
for
me.
But
Michael
was
looking
at
me
and
seemed
cold.
He
just
said,
'Hi'
and
then
he
saw
my
daughter
Yasmine
and
was
fascinated
with
her."
Jackson
made
a
mistake
pronouncing
her
niece's
name
and
called
her
'Jasmine',
which
JohVonnie
corrected.
She
recollected:
"He
said,
'OK,
Yasmine
with
a
Y',
and
that
was
it.
He
never
acknowledged
that
I
was
his
sister,
there
was
no
hug
or
kiss,
not
even
a
handshake.
No
physical
contact
at
all.
I
wanted
to
embrace
him.
I
thought
he
would
want
to
go
some
place
quiet
and
sit
and
talk
with
me
and
ask
me
about
my
life
and
get
to
know
me
a
little
better.
"It
was
very
hurtful.
He
was
not
interested
at
all.
With
my
daughter
he
was
totally
different.
She
got
hugs
and
kisses,
everything
I
didn't
get.
I
was
a
little
jealous.
But
there
was
a
bunch
of
people
there
and
I
never
did
get
a
chance
to
speak
to
Michael
properly.
Again,
there
was
this
theme
that
I
felt
shut
out."
Apparently,
JohVonnie
spent
that
night
at
a
nearby
hotel
and
returned
to
Neverland
the
next
day
but
she
didn't
get
to
see
her
iconic
half-brother.
She
said:
"Michael
was
in
the
main
house.
Yasmine
and
Paris
were
off
playing
for
hours.
Paris
is
such
a
sweet
girl."
Though
she
said
she
talked
to
brother
Jermaine
and
sister
Rebbie
but
insists:
"None
of
my
other
siblings
acknowledged
me
much."
