Janet Jackson

Did Janet Jackson slap her niece and the late Michael Jackson's daughter Paris Jackson during an altercation at Katherine Jackson's house earlier this week?

Reports have claimed as much.

One reveals that Randy, Jermaine and Janet Jackson - siblings of the late 'Thriller' singer Michael Jackson - arrived at their mother's home in Calabasas to take Michael's children Prince Michael, 15, Paris, 14, and 'Blanket', 10, to Arizona where Katherine is currently staying.

However, the children defied the decisions of their family, causing Janet to slap Paris and, according to TMZ.com, call her a ''spoiled little b***h''.

Paris fired back by hitting her aunt, saying: ''This is our house, not the Jackson family house. Get the f**k out.''

Trent Jackson, one of Michael's cousins who was looking after the children while Katherine was in Arizona, also got into an altercation with Jermaine and Randy, at one point getting Randy into a headlock.

He also reportedly punched Jermaine in the mouth.

Paris has also revealed on twitter she has a ''lot going on'' at the moment.

She wrote: ''a lot of ppl have been saying that i ''changed'' ... i wanna apologize for the attitude ... there's just a lot going on ... i promise: the ego = gone(: (sic)''

The children are believed to have had their security increased following the incident, as Trent is concerned for their safety.

A source said earlier this week: ''After this debacle, Trent decided that Paris, Prince and Blanket needed extra protection from Jermaine, Randy and Janet. He doesn't want Michael's kids snatched from the home - so he's told security at the front gate to refuse entry to all that aren't invited.

''Trent also felt it was in the kids' best interests to make sure they have extra bodyguards with them at all times whenever they are out of the house.

''He's very concerned that an elaborate kidnap could be planned.''

Update - now TMZ says there was no slapping.

A new post says:

Janet Jackson did not slap or verbally abuse Paris Jackson during a confrontation at the Jackson family home in Calabasas last week.

TMZ published a story last week based on sources who told us Janet went off on Michael Jackson's daughter after the singer tried to grab Paris' cell phone. We also reported Janet called Paris a "spoiled little bitch."

Although we believed the story to be true when we published it, we have now determined it was not correct ... Janet did not slap or otherwise touch Paris, nor did she verbally abuse her.
