Family Concerned Randy Jackson is Controlling and Manipulating Janet’s Every Move

*Is Randy Jackson controlling Janet Jackson’s every move?

According to her family, Ms. Janet is losing control of her life — and they blame it on her brother, Randy.

At least twice last week, Janet called Malibu, Calif., police to express concern that she couldn’t reach estranged husband, Wissam Al Mana, and that she feared for the safety of their son, 1-year-old Eissa, who was with Al Mana at a hotel.

“There was no evidence of any crime. The baby was fine, so there was no report taken,” a representative for the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station told Page Six.

Janet was concerned that her ex may have been using drugs in front of the baby. But insiders told The Post that Al Mana, a devout Muslim, doesn’t do drugs and is no threat to his son.

As we previously reported, they blame Randy for stirring the drama in an effort to lock down a future custody battle for the baby.

“Randy is behind all of this — he thinks he’s helping [Janet] to win legal and primary custody when he’s really hurting her,” said a family source.

“Randy doesn’t understand a lot, but wants you to believe he’s an expert,” said a family employee. “He’s fed Janet bad information. He’s made her believe that a disagreement is an argument, an argument is a fight, and criticism from Wissam is a curse word.”

The employee added that Randy has convinced Janet that it’s in her best interest to keep Eissa close by.

“This idea that if Wissam were to take Eissa, even for a couple of days, he’d flee to the Middle East . . . is all Randy. As smart as we believe Janet has always been with her affairs, she’s not being too smart by allowing Randy to take over her life and her marriage,” the family source said.

Janet and Al Mana separated in January 2017 shortly after the birth of Eissa. She then filed for divorce and Randy publicly claimed Al Mana had verbally abused her.

“There’s a lot of pain. Janet’s been through a lot with her divorce,” Randy told People magazine last year. “It was quite an abusive situation . . . No pregnant woman needs to go through being called a bitch every day.”

At a concert in Houston last fall, Janet appeared to back up her brother’s claims.

“This is me,” she told the crowd as she cried while singing the domestic violence-themed song, “What About”: “What about all the [stuff] you’ve done to me? What about the times you hit my face? What about the times you kept on when I said no more, please?”

According to the report, while she never converted to Islam, Janet observed Muslim customs including fasting, reading the Quran and leaving major decisions to her husband. As a result, Randy believed she didn’t have a voice and encouraged her to “take control,” the family source said.

“Randy moved to London [where she lived with Al Mana], virtually next door to Janet. It’s so that he could manage her life,” the family source added. “He’s not with his brothers on tour. [Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon and Tito, who have toured with Randy in the past, are now on tour without him.] He’s shunned them. This is the tactic he took when Michael was on trial.”

Through his attorney Brian Oxman, Randy told The Post that his strategy with Janet has been mischaracterized.

“My family [has] decided to no longer sit quietly while one of us goes through a crisis. We were put off by not taking a proactive stand with Michael and doing things to care for him. We felt we were very remiss in the past and now, any time there’s signs of problems, we will get involved,” Randy said.

But the insiders are concerned that Randy’s ego could get in the way.

“He works his way in and takes over and enriches himself and his profile, and then he’s able to show his brothers that he doesn’t need them,” the insider added.

Randy’s interference could work against Janet’s custody battle.

“Right now, he’s playing with fire because this could end with Wissam getting more than what Janet is willing to give.”
