"James and the Jackson family kept everything real close, real tight," Young DeBarge said. "No one really knew how it was working out until things kind of surfaced."

"I think there's a little despondence," DeBarge said when asked about Renee's feelings for Jackson.

"She hasn't really revealed that, but I'm sure that there's some feelings there. It's only natural that you wonder about what is and how it's come to be that way."

Jackson was just 18 when she and James DeBarge hooked up in 1984. Their marriage was annulled the next year.

Doing math, Janet either continued having sex with DeBarge after the marriage was annulled or this story is as fake as Janet's tits. There is no way for her to have a 18 year old kid who was born in 1984 or 1985
