The organisation that released the results of an apparent DNA test which allegedly proved Michael Jackson fathered a secret son has hit back to say the results were not fake.
Online television channel FilmOn.com’s Alki David claimed on his show that Michael had secretly fathered 31-year-old singer Brandon Howard.
However, it was claimed the DNA test results sheet were faked with the logo at the top even being seen in film Terminator Salvation.
But billionaire media mogul Alki has now hit back at the fake claims, telling TMZ: “The logo was made by the DNA agency to make it look pretty. Lab documents are not pretty by nature.”
Seemlingly contradicting himself, he added that DNA results should be private and are not meant to made public knowledge.
It was alleged DNA was taken from a mould of Jackson’s teeth and from Howard before it was sent to labs in Ireland and Utah.
The results were then unveiled on the show and it was claimed there was a “99.99999%” probability of singer Brandon being late singer Michael’s son
A Google image search for “DNA results” brings up a number of examples and many of the results are printed on branded paper from the labs.
According to TMZ, there is no generic DNA testing lab, as the Jackson and Howard test would suggest, in Ireland where it was claimed the DNA was sent.
But while the test results may be fake, Brandon’s parents do have links to Michael as Brandon’s singer mother Mika Howard was once managed by Michael’s father Joe Jackson.
Brandon has even cast doubt on the matter himself, saying in a statement: “To my fans, family, and friends, despite recent allegations, I did not authorise the testing of my DNA to be compared to that of the late Michael Jackson.
“This spring, I agreed to be part of a documentary film with FilmOn.TV and was asked to give a sample of my DNA.
“Even though I agreed to this I never expected it to be used in this manne
“To this day, I have never claimed to be Michael Jackson’s son nor do I have any intention of pursuing the family’s estate.”
Brandon’s apparent real father Augie, added: “I know Brandon’s my son. I was there in the delivery room, I have the pictures of him being born. I got the records, I got everything.
“Before me, Miki wasn’t with anyone else. She didn’t even know Michael at that time. But you know what, I love my son and he can do whatever he likes. I’m not tripping on this.”
